Nevada's gaming regulator and Kalshi are back in a compliance dispute just days after settling their geofencing fight, with state investigators claiming nine test trades slipped through from Nevada cellular networks the day after the court-ordered August 12 deadline. Kalshi is pushing back hard, telling Reuters that investigators misrepresented their location and that the state's renewed push for a $120,000-per-day penalty is unwarranted. It is a reminder that a signed settlement does not end enforcement risk once a compliance deadline actually arrives, and today's news cycle was otherwise quiet, with no other new, previously unreported developments meeting the bar for inclusion.

Kalshi and Nevada regulator clash again over geofencing compliance after August 12 deadline
Less than a month after Kalshi settled a contempt fight with the Nevada Gaming Control Board by agreeing to deploy GeoComply-based geofencing by August 12, board investigators say they placed nine trades on Kalshi's app while connected to Nevada cellular networks the day after that deadline, and the state is again seeking a $120,000-per-day noncompliance penalty. Kalshi's lawyers disputed the finding, telling Reuters that investigators misrepresented their residency and that at least one circumvented the company's blocking measures. The dispute shows that Kalshi's July 23 settlement did not close the compliance question, and gives other operators a live example of how strictly a state regulator will test a self-reported geofencing rollout once the deadline actually lands.
