Kalshi Offers $55 Bonus for New Users Trading $25 in Event Contracts

Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated prediction market exchange, is offering new users a $55 bonus after they trade just $25 in event contracts. This promotion is available to anyone 18 and older in over 40 states. The platform allows users to trade yes-or-no event contracts on various markets, including NFL Week 3, college football, UFC, soccer, WNBA, MLB, PGA, politics, crypto, and more.

Users can access the promotion by signing up with the Kalshi promo code SBWIRE55. This will give them a $55 bonus to use across the platform's full lineup of prediction markets. The platform is available in 39 states plus Washington D.C., but not currently available in Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, and Washington.

Kalshi operates as a federally regulated designated contract market under CFTC oversight. This allows it to go live in places where traditional sports betting still isn't available. The platform's unique peer-to-peer exchange model sets it apart from traditional sportsbooks, where users trade contracts directly with other users rather than against a house.
