Kalshi Bars India Users From Event Contracts as June 17 Rules Reflect Government Crackdown

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 23

Kalshi’s June 17 member agreement added India to its restricted jurisdictions, barring users domiciled in, organized in or located in the country from trading event contracts.
The move follows warnings from India’s technology ministry that prediction market platforms are illegal and efforts to curb access to such sites.
India’s addition expands Kalshi’s blocked-market list and shows the platform responding directly to tightening regulatory pressure in a major overseas market.
