Google bars prediction market extensions from Chrome Web Store
By Dan Whitaker, Casino News Editor
Google will bar Chrome extensions tied to real-money prediction markets from Aug. 1, Gaming Today reported on 2026-07-15. The company is set to remove those extensions from the Chrome Web Store, a move described in the report as targeting extensions associated with real-money prediction services.
Gaming Today says the change will add pressure on operators amid legal battles. With the ban due to take effect on Aug. 1 and the Chrome Web Store set to remove affected extensions, operators already facing legal disputes will face a narrower pathway for distributing prediction-market tools. Market: UK.
Player angle: Blocking prediction-market extensions could change how operators deliver real-money services and how players access third-party tools. Our casino bonuses guide has the up-to-date picture.
