According to a report from Crypto界, after the BBB advertising regulator decided to reject Kalshi’s participation in an investigation into influencer disclosure practices, it decided to refer the matter to relevant regulators. The BBB’s National Advertising Division said it will refer the matter to the appropriate regulators, including relevant state attorneys general, so that any possible enforcement actions can be taken. The investigation concerns whether Kalshi’s influencers and affiliates clearly disclosed paid relationships in social media promotions, and whether the company took sufficient steps to comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement guidelines.

If the state attorney general gets involved, fines could start at seven figures, and Kalshi could suffer significant losses.

These prediction market platforms have long needed regulation for their soft advertising; users can't tell if it's truly an ad.

Kalshi got into trouble this time, BBB directly handed over to the State Attorney General, and compliance costs are going to skyrocket.

Kalshi’s refusal to cooperate with the investigation was a poorly played move, and now they’re switching from passive to being actively investigated.

Influencer marketing is too risky and far more complicated than it looks—the FTC guidelines aren’t just for show, and Kalshi’s feigned ignorance won’t work.
