Polymarket payouts to be delayed unless Fox, NBC agree on US election winner

Donald Trump maintains a formative lead over Kamala Harris on the Polymarket prediction market but, no matter who wins the election, payouts could be delayed until Jan. 20, 2025, unless the Associated Press, Fox, and NBC all agree on a clear winner.

The prediction market platform has seen a surge in election betting, with volume topping over $161 million on Nov. 4.

According to a disclaimer on the contest’s landing page, Polymarket won’t declare a winner before Inauguration Day unless the media reaches a consensus.
