Google announced earlier this month that it will integrate odds from online betting platforms Kalshi Inc. and Polymarket into its Google Finance tools amid pushback from lawmakers over the evolution of modern-day gambling.
The integration of these “event contract” sites will enable users to “ask questions about future market events and harness the wisdom of the crowds,” according to a company blog post. The decision, however, comes as both Kalshi and Polymarket navigate a complex web of state and federal regulations.
Don’t Miss:
Kalshi and Polymarket maintain their platforms offer “event contracts” between private parties that should be regulated like commodities rather than traditional gambling subject to state oversight; an argument that has received pushback from government officials, NBC Chicago said. Companies like Kalshi and Polymarket should “package sports betting as events contracts” to circumvent established gaming regulations, state attorneys general claimed in a lawsuit in June.
U.S. senators including five Democrats and one Republican addressed that concern in a letter to Commodity Futures Trading Commission Acting Chair Caroline Pham September “By claiming to be federally regulated … issuers of sports event contracts can avoid myriad state [gaming] laws, including licensing and background investigations, minimum age requirements, federal anti-money laundering rules, and consumer protections such as addiction warnings and integrity monitoring,” the lawmakers wrote.

Nearly 80% of American voters support keeping prediction market regulation at the federal level rather than under state gambling authorities, according to a poll of 1,219 people nationwide commissioned by Kalshi and conducted by Axis Research. Eighty-nine percent of respondents agreed all Americans should have the freedom and ability to choose whether or not to engage in these markets regardless of their own participation.
Among those surveyed, 75% of Republicans and 71% of Democrats supported a federal regulatory approach to prediction markets. “American voters want the freedom to choose how to invest their own money without state-level interference,” Kalshi Head of Corporate Development Sara Slane said in a LinkedIn post. “The current federal regulatory structure is best equipped to oversee this financial activity, a point underscored by Congress.”

For something supposed to be fun, work Christmas parties can be surprisingly high stakes in the modern workplace. It used to be a harmless night out, a couple of drinks, a few dance moves and a half-remembered story for the next day.
Now, it resembles a social experiment: part celebration, part networking roulette and yes, part unspoken performance review. Add the habitual filming and posting to socials, and you have an event where your reputation unravels faster than the night unfolds.
Twenty years ago, a Christmas party faux pas stayed in the room. Or at worst, lived on as a foggy next–day memory, mercifully free of evidence. Today, it’s broadcasted, viewed, and shared. No fog here, just a filtered soft lens blur.

This week, an executive at National Australia Bank’s online lender UBank was reportedly sacked after behaving inappropriately including being photographed in a mock terrorism act at the work Christmas party.
Celebrations and parties are important physical manifestations or artefacts of an organisation’s culture. And the Christmas party remains a significant event and ritual. So how do you celebrate without courting office infamy or worse? A few guiding principles can help:
One of the great myths of the Christmas party is that hierarchy levels out. The boss is wearing a novelty jumper and reindeer ears, colleagues are laughing more loudly than usual, and the whole event feels looser. But alcohol does not cancel power dynamics; it simply dims the lights.
It can make the hierarchy more visible. People reveal how they really relate to authority once their guard lowers. Hybrid work has made this more complicated. After years of reduced in-person interaction, people are socially rusty. Judgment slips not because people are reckless, but because their social reflexes are not being fully exercised.
Remember: the Christmas party is not a night off from workplace dynamics. Respect for roles, boundaries and authority should be maintained.
Phones have become the hidden guests at every workplace event. No one means harm; they are filming a toast, a joke, or the office limbo competition, but context rarely survives the camera roll. A harmless moment can look vastly different when cropped, shared, or viewed by someone who wasn’t there.
