1928 charsMichigan Gaming Control Board Announces Robinhood Agreement to Halt Sports-Related Event Contracts
On September 9, 2026, the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) announced that Robinhood Derivatives, LLC has agreed to cease offering new sports-related event contracts to Michigan customers by the end of Wednesday, September 10, 2026, and to close all remaining customer positions by October 9, 2026, under a court-approved agreement.
The agreement represents the MGCB's continued effort to ensure sports wagering products are offered exclusively through state-licensed and regulated operators. It follows a preliminary injunction the Michigan Attorney General secured earlier in September 2026 against KalshiEX, prohibiting that platform from offering, listing, or facilitating sports-related event contracts to Michigan residents. Henry Williams, MGCB Executive Director, said the agreement protects Michigan consumers by ensuring sports wagering products come only from licensed, regulated operators held accountable under state law. The agreement makes Robinhood the second sports-contract platform to withdraw from Michigan this year, following Kalshi, though both companies' federal court challenges remain ongoing.
Critically, the agreement does not concede either party's legal position and preserves both sides' rights and defenses, including Robinhood's argument that its federally structured contracts fall outside state regulatory authority. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said the agreement protects Michigan residents from exploitative practices while litigation continues. The agreement remains in effect until the Sixth Circuit appeals are resolved.
The MGCB will continue collaborating with the Michigan Department of Attorney General to protect Michigan consumers and ensure sports wagering operates only through properly licensed and regulated operators.

Michigan Gaming Control Board Announces Robinhood Agreement to Halt Sports-Related Event Contracts
On September 9, 2026, the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) announced that Robinhood Derivatives, LLC has agreed to cease offering new sports-related event contracts to Michigan customers by the end of the day on September 9, 2026, and to close all remaining customer positions by October 9, 2026, under a court-approved stipulation and order. The agreement follows a preliminary injunction the Michigan Attorney General secured against KalshiEx earlier in September 2026, barring that platform from offering sports-related event contracts to Michigan residents.
The stipulation preserves both parties' legal positions and rights, including Robinhood's argument that its federally structured contracts are not subject to state regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA). The agreement remains in effect until the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals resolves related appeals, including the Robinhood Appeal, the Polymarket Appeal, the Coinbase Appeal, and the consolidated Kalshi Appeals, or until the state court injunction in Nessel v. KalshiEx, LLC is dissolved. During the period Robinhood complies with the agreement, Michigan state authorities will forbear from bringing enforcement actions against the company for sports-related event contracts. This development makes Robinhood the second sports-contract platform to withdraw its offerings from Michigan this year, following Kalshi, while both companies' federal court challenges continue.
Henry Williams, MGCB Executive Director, said the agreement represents another step forward in Michigan's effort to ensure sports wagering products are offered only through licensed and regulated operators. The MGCB remains committed to working with the Michigan Department of Attorney General to protect Michigan consumers and ensure that sports wagering is conducted only through properly licensed and regulated operators.
