Relapse via Kalshi ad
About two years after his bankruptcy, Thomas sees a Kalshi Instagram ad offering a $20 bonus on a first $10 deposit and relapses into problem gambling.
Bankruptcy and self-exclusion
Thomas files for bankruptcy in late 2023 after accumulating roughly $75,000 in total debt, including over $50,000 owed to online sportsbooks, and self-excludes from DraftKings and FanDuel.
Pandemic-era sports betting begins
Thomas starts betting on DraftKings and FanDuel while working from home in Pennsylvania, quickly developing a compulsive habit around football and tennis parlays.
A 35-year-old financial services worker who racked up $75,000 in debt and self-excluded from DraftKings and FanDuel relapsed after a $20 Kalshi bonus. The case exposes a regulatory gap: CFTC-regulated prediction markets are not covered by state sportsbook self-exclusion systems, creating reputational and compliance risk for the fast-growing event-contract sector.
