This analogy is dumb all the way through, but Utah is where it completely falls apart.
Utah doesn’t derive any tax revenue from gambling. It’s not a bitter incumbent trying to keep a new competitor out. It’s trying to protect its citizens.
Sorry Tarek, Kalshi is not just like Uber. Comparing local ride-sharing rules to federal and state gambling statutes that target underage gambling, problem gambling, financial exploitation, money laundering, and sports bribery oversimplifies a massive legal and regulatory divide.
