Is Kalshi legal in Colorado?

No restriction found Colorado: No public action found

The short answer

Kalshi does not publish a list of states where it is unavailable, and we found no court order, regulator action or Kalshi notice that stops it from serving Colorado as of Oct. 22, 2026.

Colorado has one public action on record that names Kalshi. The latest (June 12, 2026): The Colorado attorney general joined a 37-state amicus brief in the Sixth Circuit (KalshiEX LLC v. Schuler) supporting Ohio's authority to apply its gaming laws to Kalshi.
