Kalshi社は火曜日、スポーツ関連の予測市場に対する新たな州税の導入に異議を唱え、イリノイ州当局を提訴した。訴訟は米連邦地方裁判所イリノイ北部地区で起こされ、同社は州当局が連邦規制当局の権限を逸脱していると主張している。
同社は、イリノイ州が来週からスポーツ関連の賭けによる総収入に対して15％の税を課そうとしていると指摘した。Kalshi社は、この措置が連邦政府による予測市場の監視を妨害するものであると主張している。
訴状の中で同社は、イリノイ州の当局者が連邦規制当局の権限を「不当に奪った」と述べている。今回の提訴は、課税開始前にこれを阻止しようとするKalshi社の取り組みの一環である。
今後、イリノイ北部地区連邦地裁がこの件を審理する予定であり、現時点で裁定は下されていない。
