Polymarket extends $20 new-user bonus to weekend sports markets
The prediction market platform is promoting a $20 incentive for new users trading on the English Premier League opener, NFL preseason fixtures, and UFC Fight Night, following a similar offer for Major League Baseball earlier this month.
Polymarket has introduced a $20 bonus for new users who enter the promo code FOX, targeting trading activity across several major weekend sporting events. The promotion, detailed by Fox Sports, covers the English Premier League season opener, National Football League preseason matches, and a UFC Fight Night card.
The football component of the offer centres on the EPL opener, where defending champions Arsenal face newly promoted Coventry City. The match marks the start of Arsenal’s title defence and provides an early opportunity to gauge the team’s campaign trajectory.
In the United States, the promotion aligns with the continuation of the NFL preseason. The source highlights fixtures including the Jets versus the Steelers, the Broncos versus the Packers, and the Jaguars versus the Panthers. Additional games are scheduled for Saturday, offering further opportunities to trade on markets as teams evaluate rookies and resolve roster battles.
The UFC segment features Anthony Hernandez taking on Gregory Rodrigues at UFC Fight Night. Hernandez is seeking to recover from a loss to Sean Strickland in February, having previously won eight consecutive fights before that setback.
This initiative follows a similar $20 bonus promotion launched on 18 August for Major League Baseball games. The recurring use of the FOX code suggests a structured partnership or affiliate arrangement, with Fox Sports noting that it may receive compensation if users sign up or place wagers through their links.
The platform uses the term “trade” rather than “bet” to describe user activity, a distinction that may carry specific regulatory or user-experience implications. Probabilities for the listed markets are noted as subject to change, and full terms and conditions are available on the Polymarket website.
