Nevada Kalshi suspend contempt hearing while geofencing rollout moves ahead

Nevada Kalshi suspend contempt hearing while geofencing rollout moves ahead

Published by skeptic

Nevada and Kalshi have agreed to put an escalating contempt fight on hold after jointly asking the court to cancel a scheduled hearing and instead oversee the rollout of stronger geofencing technology. The agreement shifts the immediate focus from sanctions to technical compliance while the broader legal battle over prediction market contracts continues. Nevada and Kalshi agree temporary geofencing-related path forward  The joint filing, submitted by the State of Nevada through the Nevada Gaming Control Board and Kalshi, asks the court to vacate a July 29, 2026 hearing that had been scheduled to consider the state’s application for an order to show cause regarding contempt. Nevada filed that application after investigators said they could still place trades on sports, election and entertainment event contracts despite an amended preliminary injunction requiring those markets to be blocked within the state. The stipulation explains that “the Parties agree that entry of this Stipulation supports vacating the Hearing.” It further provides, “The Hearing set for July 29, 2026 is hereby vacated.” Unless either side later seeks court approval to …

Nevada Supreme Court keeps Kalshi injunction alive during gaming laws appeal proceedings

Published by skeptic

Nevada’s highest court has declined to pause a preliminary injunction against Kalshi as the company continues its appeal in a dispute over Nevada’s gaming laws. In the same order, the court also approved requests from two out-of-state attorneys to participate in the case on behalf of the Nevada Gaming Control Board. The July 1, 2026, order denied KalshiEX’s emergency motion seeking a stay of the district court’s preliminary injunction while the appeal is pending before the Nevada Supreme Court. That means the injunction remains in effect as the legal fight continues. NEW: Kalshi loses Hail-Mary bid to avoid geofencing in Nevada, as Nev. Sup.

The NFL insider’s professional career imploded in April, when Page Six published pictures of Russini cozying up at a luxury Arizona resort to Vrabel, the head coach of the New England Patriots. Both Vrabel, 50, and Russini, 43, are married to other people. The Athletic, where Russini had worked since 2023, initially supported the former reporter as she insisted that there was no romantic relationship between her and Vrabel, despite the pictures showing the pair holding hands and sharing a hot tub.

Highly sensitive radio telescope array to be built in Nevada desert

Highly sensitive radio telescope array to be built in Nevada desert

Published by Sam Flores

Nestled in the Great Basin, a remote stretch of the Nevada desert is set to become home to the world’s most sensitive radio telescope array. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content. The California Institute of Technology, which is leading the project, announced last week that it is moving ahead with the telescope’s construction after securing enough funding. Known as the Deep Synoptic Array, the project calls for 1,650 individual radio dishes that together will study supermassive black holes, spinning dead stars known as pulsars and fast radio bursts, which are brief, intense explosions of radio waves that often originate from deep space. “It’s the sheer number of antennas that makes this completely unique and unlike other existing telescopes,” said Gregg Hallinan, a professor of astronomy at Caltech and a principal investigator for the Deep Synoptic Array. Radio telescopes detect naturally occurring radio waves emitted by stars, planets, galaxies and other celestial objects. Astronomers can analyze the unique patterns of radio emissions from these sources to understand …

Nevada betting probe leads to arrest in Fresno State basketball case

Published by skeptic

Nevada gaming regulators say an investigation into unusual sports betting tied to Fresno State men’s basketball has led to an arrest, while authorities continue searching for other people allegedly involved in the scheme. According to an announcement published on Thursday (June 11) from the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the case centers on proposition wagers connected to the alleged intentional underperformance of a Fresno State athlete during the 2024-25 season. Investigators say former and current associates linked to college basketball programs used inside information to place bets and profit from the results. Authorities said the inquiry relied on subpoenas, financial records, cellphone data, information supplied by licensed sportsbooks, and coordination with the NCAA. Regulators said that evidence established probable cause that multiple individuals worked together to place fraudulent wagers connected to a Fresno State game played on January 7, 2025. The Gaming Control Board said one suspect was arrested and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on May 5, 2026.

In a filing submitted to the First Judicial District Court and announced on Friday (June 12), the Nevada Gaming Control Board said investigators were still able to place trades from Nevada after a May 18 amended preliminary injunction required Kalshi to block access to sports, election, and entertainment contracts through geofencing measures.

Under Trump, hopes for a mining boom in the Nevada desert

Under Trump, hopes for a mining boom in the Nevada desert

Published by Sam Flores

TONOPAH, Nev. — Some years ago, Harry Chahal and his wife were on a trip to Las Vegas when, like countless motorists before and since, they passed through this high desert speck of a town. Tonopah, built by the mining industry around 1900 and depleted as the gold, silver, lead and mercury petered out, is a remote way station about halfway between Reno and Las Vegas. Signs on either side warn — ominously, given the unforgiving expanse ahead — that once you’ve left, the nearest gas station is not for another 100 miles or so. As he passed through town, Chahal noticed something missing: a pizza parlor. Pizza is not generally associated with Punjab, India, where Chahal — given name Harvarinderjit — is originally from. But he learned how to make pizza, and how much customers loved gobbling it up, while working at different gas station mini-marts around rural Nevada. In that absence, Chahal saw opportunity. He and his wife, Ravinder, moved to Tonopah and in 2015 opened Hometown Pizza in a vacant building on U.S. Route …
