Polymarket Removed From Google News After Brief Listing Error

Polymarket prediction market links briefly appeared in Google News results for event-driven queries but were later removed. A Google spokesperson told The Verge the site “briefly appeared in Google News in error” and is “no longer surfacing.” Before removal, Polymarket links could show directly beneath established publishers. For example, a search for “will ships transit the strait” (Strait of Hormuz) displayed a Polymarket market alongside Reuters and The Guardian; a later Cointelegraph test found no Polymarket results. The episode follows earlier media and platform partnerships. Google previously worked with Polymarket (and rival Kalshi) to integrate prediction data into Google Finance. In June, X named Polymarket its official prediction market partner. MetaMask said it would integrate Polymarket in October, and World App (Sam Altman’s World project wallet/identity platform) added the Polymarket app. Separately, Cointelegraph cited data by analyst Andrey Sergeenkov showing low profitability persistence: about 1% of traders cross $5,000 profit in a month, but only 0.015% sustain it for four consecutive months; just 0.033% of wallets exceed $100,000 total profits. Despite growing hype around prediction markets, most participants struggle to remain consistently profitable. Main keyword: Polymarket.
