Judge Nelson directly confronted CFTC attorney Jordan Minot on the Rule 40.11 paradox. When Minot argued the agency doesn't define sports contracts as 'involving gaming,' Nelson replied: 'You go to a casino to make sports bets.' Nevada's attorney characterized sports event contracts as functionally identical to sports books, focusing on consumer protection and tax revenue arguments. The panel's skepticism across all three judges confirms the Rule 40.11 structural contradiction is the centerpiece of the appeal.

Judge Nelson's April 16, 2026 oral argument questioning made the Rule 40.11 paradox explicit: CFR Rule 40.11 prohibits DCMs from listing gaming contracts unless CFTC grants exception. Nelson's direct challenge to CFTC attorney Jordan Minot ('You go to a casino to make sports bets') when Minot argued sports contracts aren't gaming shows the structural contradiction: if prediction markets are gaming, CFTC's own rules prohibit rather than authorize them on DCMs, eliminating the federal preemption shield they require. Nevada's attorney characterized sports event contracts as functionally identical to sports books, reinforcing the gaming classification argument.

Ninth Circuit oral arguments held April 16, 2026 with ruling expected 'in the coming days' per casino.org April 20 article. Judge Nelson's exact language on Rule 40.11: '40.11 says any regulated entity shall not list for trading gaming contracts. It prohibits it from going on. The only way to get around it is if you get permission first.' Panel composition (Nelson, Bade, Lee - all Trump first-term appointees) showed marked skepticism despite being 'friendly' circuit. Multiple states (e.g., Arizona) have filed to delay their own cases pending this ruling, confirming its dispositive significance. Timeline compressed from typical 60-120 day window to imminent ruling.

|

|

Ninth Circuit oral arguments on April 16, 2026 showed all three judges (Nelson, Bade, Lee) expressing skepticism toward CFTC preemption. Judge Nelson directly challenged CFTC's position on Rule 40.11, stating: '40.11 says any regulated entity shall not list for trading gaming contracts. It prohibits it from going on. The only way to get around it is if you get permission first.' When CFTC attorney argued sports contracts aren't 'involving gaming,' Nelson replied: 'You go to a casino to make sports bets.' The article published April 20 stated ruling expected 'in the coming days' rather than typical 60-120 day window, suggesting imminent circuit split confirmation with Third Circuit's pro-preemption stance.

# Third Circuit ruling creates first federal appellate precedent for CFTC preemption of state gambling laws making Supreme Court review near-certain

|
||||
|
||||
The 9th Circuit issued a one-page decision backing Nevada's Gaming Control Board against Kalshi, upholding a federal judge's order requiring Kalshi to cease offering sports contracts in Nevada. This creates an explicit circuit split: the 3rd Circuit ruled for Kalshi on preemption grounds, while the 9th Circuit backs Nevada's enforcement authority. The ruling appears to be a preliminary stay/injunction ruling rather than a final merits decision on preemption, but it demonstrates that the 9th Circuit panel is skeptical of CFTC preemption claims at the circuit level.

Ninth Circuit panel composition (Nelson, Bade, Lee - all Trump first-term appointees) showed marked skepticism toward CFTC preemption despite being the 'friendly' circuit for Trump-aligned industry. This contrasts with Third Circuit's pro-preemption stance, confirming the circuit split is materializing. Multiple states (including Arizona) have filed to delay their own cases pending this ruling, confirming its dispositive significance for the broader multi-state litigation pattern.
