Google News has started showing betting odds from prediction market Polymarket directly within its news feeds, including the personalized "For you" section and the main homepage. The feature displays modules with odds on various real-world events, placing them alongside articles from established journalistic sources. This integration appears to be a recent development, with user complaints on social media surfacing in late March 2026.
The move stems from a partnership announced in November 2025, which initially aimed to integrate Polymarket and Kalshi data into Google Search and Google Finance. However, its appearance in the primary Google News feed is a new step that blurs the line between vetted news and speculative markets, prompting concerns about the platform's role in legitimizing what some view as a form of gambling. Google has not yet commented on this specific rollout in its news product.
