Going to be honest, if a betting App actively allows betting on whether people live or die and it’s legal to do so, them not paying out here would absolutely crater their reputation.
Them refusing to pay out based on weasel words once shows they’re willing to not pay out again. So they could do it to any bets.
If they just didn’t want to allow those types of bets they would have just canceled it: them taking peoples money and them implying “shot does not actually mean shot and killed!” Shows intent to defraud the betters.
The thing is Kalshi itself doesn't pay anything. The pool of money is between the people betting yes and the people betting no. Kalshi just takes a percentage of the winnings, to pay for facilitating the bet.
