Multiple outlets report that Kalshi is promoting $55 bonuses for new users through code-based offers tied to specific sports matchups. Several stories highlight the same basic structure: new traders use a named promo code, make a $25 deposit, and complete $25 in trades to receive trading funds up to $55.
For Thursday Night Football, The Oregonian and CBS Sports describe an “OREGONLIVE55” code and a “CBSSPORTS55” code, both linked to the Commanders vs. Giants game, with identical qualifying thresholds (a $25 deposit and $25+ in trades). The New York Post also runs similar “NYPMAX55” promotions for the same NFL matchup, using slightly different wording focused on “trade $25, get up to $55.”
Beyond the NFL, The Oregonian also covers NBA-themed “OREGONLIVE55” offers for games like Thunder-Trail Blazers and extends the same $25 deposit and $25-in-trades requirement within a set period. The New York Post similarly publicizes “NYPMAX55” bonuses for NBA contests including Knicks vs. Cavaliers and Celtics vs. 76ers.
