9月2日(路透社)——新泽西州当局周三要求美国最高法院裁决各州是否有权监管卡尔希及其他竞争平台运营的预测市场上的体育博彩活动。

该州请求最高法院推翻4月份上诉法院的一项裁决,该裁决认定美国商品期货交易委员会对卡尔希平台上允许用户交易的体育相关事件合约拥有专属管辖权。

“这些公司无权在不遵守州法律的情况下提供体育博彩服务,这就是为何横跨意识形态光谱的数十个州都对它们表示反对,”民主党籍新泽西州总检察长詹妮弗·达文波特在一份声明中说道。

总部位于纽约的卡尔希未立即回应置评请求。

在最近一轮融资中估值达220亿美元的卡尔希,一直处于一场不断升级的法律斗争的中心,这场斗争围绕州博彩监管机构是否有权监管这个快速增长的预测市场行业内的公司展开。

各州辩称,卡尔希等公司在未获得 required 州许可证的情况下开展业务,违反了包括禁止21岁以下人士投注在内的博彩法律。

在共和党籍总统唐纳德·特朗普政府时期,美国商品期货交易委员会与卡尔希持相同立场,认为预测市场交易完全属于该机构的管辖范围。

达文波特请求最高法院推翻由费城的美国第三巡回上诉法院以2比1作出的、有利于卡尔希的裁决,该裁决认为联邦《商品交易法》可能优先于新泽西州的法律。

就在新泽西州将案件提交至美国最高法院的几天前,另一家联邦上诉法院作出了不利于卡尔希的裁决,裁定内华达州博彩监管机构不得阻止该公司获得博彩许可证以允许用户对体育赛事结果下注。

这些相互矛盾的上诉法院裁决增加了最高法院不得不介入解决该争端的可能性,而这一争端也是全美众多其他法院案件的核心。至少有四个州——内华达州、马萨诸塞州、密歇根州和华盛顿州——已获得法院禁令限制卡尔希的业务活动。

新泽西州辩称,第三巡回法院的裁决基于一个错误的前提,即国会在2008年金融危机后通过《多德-弗兰克法案》时,在监管“掉期”(一种衍生合约)时,暗中将体育博彩的监管权从各州转移到了美国商品期货交易委员会手中。

“至少可以说,《多德-弗兰克法案》远未明确到足以将价值数十亿美元的体育博彩行业的监管权转移给一家没有博彩监管专业知识的联邦监管机构,”该州律师写道。

New Jersey takes fight over Kalshi’s prediction market to US Supreme Court

Sept 2 (Reuters) – New Jersey authorities on Wednesday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve whether states ‌have the power to police sports betting that occurs on prediction markets operated by Kalshi and competing platforms.

The state asked the Supreme Court to overturn an appellate court’s decision in April holding that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has exclusive jurisdiction over the sports-related ​event contracts that Kalshi allows people to trade on its platform.

“These companies have no right to ​offer their sports bets without following state law, which is why dozens of states ⁠across the ideological spectrum have opposed them,” New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport, a Democrat, said in a ​statement.

New York-based Kalshi did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Kalshi, which in a recent funding round ​was valued at $22 billion, has been at the center of an escalating legal battle over the ability of state gaming regulators to police companies in the fast-growing prediction markets industry.

States argue that firms like Kalshi are operating without required state licenses, in violation of ​gaming laws, including bans on wagers by those under 21.

Under Republican President Donald Trump’s administration, the CFTC has shared ​the companies’ position that trading on prediction markets falls exclusively under the agency’s jurisdiction.

Davenport is asking the Supreme Court to ‌overturn a ⁠2-1 decision by the Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Kalshi’s favor that concluded that the federal Commodity Exchange Act likely preempted New Jersey’s laws.

New Jersey took its case to the nation’s highest court just days after a different federal appeals court sided against Kalshi, ruling that Nevada gaming regulators could not be blocked from ​requiring the company to hold ​a gaming license to ⁠allow users to bet on sports outcomes.

Those conflicting appellate court rulings increased the possibility that the Supreme Court could be forced to step in and resolve the ​issue, which is at the center of numerous other court cases nationwide. At ​least four states — ⁠Nevada, Massachusetts, Michigan and Washington — have won court orders restricting Kalshi’s activities.

New Jersey argues the 3rd Circuit’s holding rests on the incorrect premise that Congress, in adopting the Dodd-Frank Act following the 2008 financial crisis, silently shifted authority over sports wagering away ⁠from ​states to the CFTC when it was directed to regulate “swaps,” a ​type of derivative contract.

“At the very least, Dodd-Frank is not nearly clear enough to transfer authority over a multi-billion-dollar sportsgaming industry to a ​federal regulatory agency with no gambling expertise,” the state’s lawyers wrote.
