Kalshi Launches $10 Bonus for New Users Trading MLB Prediction Markets
The offer, available to eligible US residents, allows users to trade on Major League Baseball outcomes including Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers matchups.
Prediction market platform Kalshi has introduced a promotional incentive for new customers seeking to trade on Major League Baseball outcomes. The offer provides a $10 bonus to users who register using the promo code TSNEWS, provided they meet specific deposit and trading thresholds.
Eligibility for the promotion is restricted to individuals aged 18 and over who are physically present in one of the 50 US states where Kalshi operates. Participants must complete a registration process that includes providing proof of identification to verify their age and identity.
To unlock the bonus, users are required to make a minimum initial deposit of $1. The promotional credit becomes available once the user completes $10 in cumulative trades on the platform’s prediction markets. This threshold can be met through a single transaction or spread across multiple trades, allowing for varied trading strategies.
The promotion highlights specific MLB matchups, enabling users to place predictions on games involving the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves, Pittsburgh Pirates, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Los Angeles Angels. Kalshi also offers markets for the NHL Stanley Cup Final, specifically referencing Game 3.
The platform illustrates potential returns through hypothetical examples, noting that a $10 trade on the Los Angeles Dodgers could yield approximately $2.99 in profit, while a similar trade on the Los Angeles Angels could result in a $27.00 profit if the underdog wins. These figures are illustrative and based on specific odds at the time of the example.
Beyond game winners, Kalshi offers various market types including props, totals, and futures. Users can engage in trading during live action, with the bonus unlocking instantly upon meeting the $10 trading volume requirement.
The offer is designed to facilitate entry into prediction markets, which function as financial trading venues where users buy and sell shares in the outcomes of real-world events. The platform distinguishes itself from traditional sports betting by framing these activities as trading on event outcomes.
