Kalshi, a prediction market firm, is currently banned from operating in Nevada due to a court order.
Kalshi, a prediction market firm, has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Netflix over the trailer for an upcoming documentary, "Instadocs: The Prediction Games", alleging defamation and the use of false statements. The trailer focuses on a Las Vegas party where individuals, including one declaring "I like betting on Kalshi", are shown betting on the World Cup. However, Kalshi is currently banned from operating in Nevada due to a court order.
Kalshi claims the trailer misleadingly suggests trading occurred in Nevada post-ban, when the showcased bet was actually from May 2025. Despite acknowledging this, Netflix maintains no footage was fabricated, stating the bet was pre-ban and the footage was legally filmed in Las Vegas on July 17, 2026.
Netflix’s spokesperson emphasized the trader’s bet was made before the Nevada ban and that the documentary’s footage was legitimate, filmed at a watched event in Las Vegas. Kalshi, however, argues Netflix refused to remove the misleading content from the trailer despite being informed of the error.
