A Tennessee federal judge has once again ruled in favor of prediction market company Kalshi related to its suit against state gambling regulators and the opposition it faced from Native American tribal groups.
Specifically, and according to online gaming trade publication igamingtoday.com, U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger last week granted Kalshi a preliminary injunction, thus halting Tennessee regulators from their attempts to enforce state gaming laws against the company while the case moves through the legal system.
