Kalshi Promotes Prediction Market Bonuses for Sports Events

Kalshi, a prediction market exchange regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, has been promoting various promo codes offering bonuses to new users for trading on events such as college football games and Major League Baseball matchups. The promotions, highlighted in materials dated September 19, 2026, center on providing additional trading funds to attract participants to its platform. The most commonly reported offer involves a $25 bonus upon a $25 deposit, granting users a total of $50 in trading funds. This structure was cited in multiple sources for codes like OREGONLIVE1, AL25, MLIVE, and CLEVELAND. However, one source promoted a code, SILIVE55, claiming a $55 bonus on a $25 deposit, resulting in $80 in total funds. This discrepancy in bonus amounts remains unresolved, as the sources do not provide official confirmation from Kalshi itself. Kalshi distinguishes itself from traditional sportsbooks by operating as a regulated financial exchange. This status allows it to offer event contracts on a wide range of outcomes, including sports, politics, and economics, to users in states where online sports betting may be prohibited.
