Rhode Island the Latest State to Come After Kalshi While The Regulated Sports Betting Scene Here Remains Rather Sad
Friday May 22, 2026 (11:21 am EDT)
The federal judge assigned to oversee Kalshi v. Rhode Island is Mary S. McElroy, who was originally nominated to the federal bench by Barack Obama in 2015. Previously served in the RI Public Defender's Office for 8 years. Clerked at RI Supreme Court. The state has long regulated sports betting since the U.S. Supreme Court abolished prohibition against the activity in 2018 but its options still remain below par. Bally Bet is currently the only regulated sportsbook in the state. That company has had difficulty gaining any meaningful market share in the sector nationwide.

Three South Carolina Men Charged With Murder, Kidnapping After Luring Victim to NC Casino
Thursday May 21, 2026 (8:53 pm EDT)
A trio of individuals from South Carolina is accused of kidnapping and killing a man they lured to a North Carolina casino. The story, picked up by Gambling911.com, would quickly go viral. The victim, identified only as "M.B.G", was allegedly lured to the Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort in North Carolina under the pretense that one of those charged was going to date him. “The alleged actions of these defendants show a dark and devious scheme that crossed states lines and ultimately resulted in death,” said U.S. Attorney Bryan Stirling for the District of South Carolina. Charges include robbery affecting commerce and conspiracy to do the same, kidnapping resulting in death and conspiracy to do the same, use of a firearm during a crime of violence to cause death, obstruction of justice, interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle, destruction of the vehicle, by fire, to prevent its search and seizure by law enforcement and providing false statements to federal agents.

NCAA Infractions Expert Says Brendan Sorsby Faces Long Odds Challenging Permanent Ban for Gambling
Thursday May 21, 2026 (8:53 pm EDT)
Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is trying to do what no other college athlete has done: Force the NCAA to stand down on enforcing its sacrosanct policy that permanently bans athletes who have wagered on their own team. “It would be unprecedented,” said Jodi Balsam, a former arbitrator of NCAA infractions cases who is director of the Sports Law Clinic at Brooklyn Law School. “They have never excused betting on one’s own sport or team and it routinely has been met with the harshest of penalties.” Texas Tech said Monday it had declared Sorsby ineligible after it finalized an agreed-upon stipulation of facts between the school, the NCAA and Sorsby. A school is required to declare an athlete ineligible before it can initiate the reinstatement process. On the same day, Sorsby filed a lawsuit in Lubbock County, Texas, alleging the NCAA was slow-walking his case and asking for an injunction allowing him to play for the Red Raiders this season after he was one of the biggest transfers of the offseason.
