Is Kalshi legal in Mississippi?

No restriction found Mississippi: 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 Mississippi as of Oct. 22, 2026.

Mississippi has one public action on record that names Kalshi. The latest (Oct. 7, 2026): Mississippi's attorney general signed an Ohio-led amicus brief, joined by 38 other states and DC, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to grant New Jersey's petition in Flaherty v. KalshiEX (No. 26-299).

Federal appeals from Mississippi go to the Fifth Circuit, which has not yet been asked to decide the question.
