Content creator accuses Kalshi of copying his video for ad without credit
Content creator Pushpek Sidhu alleges that prediction market platform Kalshi recreated one of his videos word-for-word to use in advertising without crediting him or offering compensation. The accusation was published Wednesday. Sports media outlet Awful Announcing flagged the apparent copying on its Threads account. No response from Kalshi was reported in the available coverage. The incident adds a separate intellectual-property dispute to Kalshi's existing legal docket, which already includes multiple state and federal cases over its regulatory status. The specific video, the extent of its use in Kalshi's ad campaigns, and any monetary damages sought were not detailed in the source summaries.
Kalshi's legal and public-relations exposure now spans both federal regulatory fights and a creator-rights dispute that can damage brand trust with the influencer-marketing channels the platform uses to reach retail traders.
