Indiana’s position
Indiana legalised sports wagering in 2019 through House Enrolled Act 1015 (Indiana Code 4-38). The Indiana Gaming Commission “is responsible for approving sportsbook technology and for regulating the operation of sportsbooks,” and operators must not accept wagers from anyone under 21.
Unlike most states, Indiana didn’t sign the October 2026 multistate brief urging the US Supreme Court to hear a Kalshi case, and Pew Research Center’s June 2026 tracker shows no Indiana bill to regulate prediction markets. See is Kalshi legal?
