Overview
- Kalshi sent Netflix a cease-and-desist on Friday demanding the trailer for Instadocs: The Prediction Games be taken down and saying the clip contains fabricated or AI‑generated material that defames the company.
- Netflix says the trade shown in the trailer was placed in May 2025 and that the Las Vegas footage filmed this month displays a screenshot of that earlier bet.
- Kalshi points to specific anomalies in the image — a visible date, a cropped screenshot indicator and the term “bet slip” — and says a Netflix editor agreed the image would be removed but the trailer remained live.
- The dispute overlaps with active Nevada litigation that has ordered Kalshi to block sports-event markets in the state and prompted regulator requests to hold the firm in contempt.
- The episode highlights a wider legal fight in multiple states over whether prediction markets are unlicensed gambling or federally regulated trading and could influence public perception and court rulings.
