Prediction market Kalshi issued a cease-and-desist note to Netflix on Friday, insisting that the streaming platform remove the trailer for an upcoming documentary. In the notice, Kalshi asserted that the trailer is \u201cdefamatory\u201d and includes \u201cboth fabricated documents and misleading statements.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInstadocs: The Prediction Games\u201d is a documentary focusing on the growth of prediction markets. As per Netflix, the documentary \u2014 part of the streamer\u2019s \u201cInstadoc\u201d series of quick-turnaround films \u2014 features conversations with both Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan and Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour.<\/p>\n

The trailer emphasizes a recent gathering in Las Vegas, where men who have \u201cearned millions on prediction markets, likely eight figures, just during the World Cup\u201d have come together to witness the World Cup final. One guest expresses, \u201cI enjoy betting on Kalshi,\u201d while another flaunts a supposed $5,000 wager on their device.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Kalshi is presently prohibited from functioning in Nevada due to a judicial ruling. In its cease-and-desist correspondence, Kalshi indicated that the wager displayed on the device is actually a screenshot of a bet placed on May 16, 2025 \u2014 well before the ruling. The firm contended that in the trailer, Netflix \u201cmisled its millions of viewers into thinking this individual was able to successfully trade sports event contracts in Nevada on July 19, 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

In its communication, Kalshi also mentioned that it recently conversed with a Netflix staff member who \u201cagreed not to showcase the receipt in the documentary when it debuts\u201d on Sunday, July 26.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever \u2014 despite Kalshi demonstrating to this employee that the assertions in the video were clearly false \u2014 Netflix inexplicably declined to eliminate the receipt from the trailer currently available on the homepage of the Netflix application,\u201d the company stated.<\/p>\n

Netflix does not contest that the screenshot is from a 2025 wager, but a representative informed The Hollywood Reporter that none of the documentary footage was altered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe footage was recorded at the Winible World Cup Watch Weekend in Las Vegas on July 17, 2026,\u201d the representative noted. \u201cThe trader shown with the trade on Spain provided us a screenshot of his bet, made in May 2025 before any Nevada court ruling. Any specific trades or wagers mentioned during that weekend are between the individual and the application in which they executed the trades.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
