Kalshi Demands Netflix Remove Trailer for 'Prediction Games' Documentary
Prediction market platform Kalshi has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Netflix, demanding the removal of the trailer for an upcoming documentary titled *Instadocs: The Prediction Games*. In its letter, Kalshi claims that the trailer contains defamatory and misleading content. Specifically, it argues that footage showing a $5,000 bet made on their platform is deceptive because Kalshi was banned in Nevada at the time of filming due to a court order. The documentary features interviews with executives from both Polymarket and Kalshi but focuses heavily on a Las Vegas event where traders celebrated World Cup betting. Netflix maintains that none of its footage is fabricated, noting that the bet shown was made before any legal restrictions were imposed in Nevada. A Netflix spokesperson confirmed the filming date as July 17, 2026. Kalshi claims it had already warned a Netflix employee about inaccuracies but says the misleading content remains in circulation.
