Kalshi Suspends GOP Candidate for 3 Years Over Self-Betting

Prediction market platform Kalshi has banned Republican House candidate Laurie Buckhout for three years. The suspension follows an investigation revealing that Buckhout placed bets on her own congressional race against Democratic Representative Don Davis in North Carolina’s 1st District. Although the total value of the contracts purchased was less than $1,000, the platform enforced the ban as a violation of its policies.
