Polymarket Unlocks $20 Bonus for New Users Ahead of UFC 330
New users can claim a trading bonus by entering code FOX, as markets shift heavily toward the UFC Welterweight Champion.
Polymarket has introduced a promotional incentive for new users ahead of UFC 330, offering a $20 trading bonus to those who utilise the promo code FOX. The offer is designed to attract participants to the platform’s sports trading markets as the organisation prepares for its latest event in Philadelphia. To qualify for the bonus, new accounts must execute a trade of at least $10 on the UFC event.
The promotion arrives as Islam Makhachev prepares to defend his UFC Welterweight Championship against Ian Machado Garry. Makhachev is currently the overwhelming favourite in the market, with an implied probability of 75% for victory. The trade price for "Yes" shares indicating a Makhachev win is set at 76¢, a valuation that aligns with odds of -316 in traditional sports betting markets. Conversely, Machado Garry is priced at 27¢ for a potential upset.
A victory in this bout would extend Makhachev’s winning streak to 17 consecutive fights, surpassing the previous record of 16 held by Anderson Silva. This historical context has contributed to the heavy market sentiment favouring the champion, who is making his second defence of the welterweight title. Despite Machado Garry being considered a dangerous opponent, the market pricing suggests limited value in opposing the current champion.
The UFC 330 card also features a co-main event for the Women’s Strawweight Championship, where Mackenzie Dern will defend her title against Gillian Robertson. The event is scheduled for Saturday, 15 August, at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Broadcast timings include early prelims starting at 5:30 p.m. ET, prelims at 7 p.m. ET, and the main card commencing at 9 p.m. ET.
The event will be streamed exclusively on Paramount+. Polymarket describes itself as a platform for sports trading and includes affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. The promotional offer aims to capitalise on the high-profile nature of the card, providing users with additional trading capital ahead of the main card and the upcoming football season.
