Polymarket and Kalshi offer bonus codes for World Cup 2026 knockout matches

Polymarket has released two promotional codes for the 2026 FIFA World Cup knockout stage. The code ALCOM provides a $50 trading bonus to new users who deposit at least $20 and is tied to the Colombia vs Ghana match. The code MASS offers the same $50 bonus for users depositing to trade on the France vs Paraguay round‑of‑16 encounter. Both offers are available only in U.S. states where Polymarket operates and require standard account verification.

Kalshi, a federally regulated prediction‑market exchange, introduced the referral code OREGONLIVE1 for traders in Oregon, Washington, California and other eligible states. The code matches a $10 deposit with a $10 bonus, giving new users $20 to trade on markets that include the Paraguay vs France match as well as MLB games such as Mariners vs Blue Jays. Like Polymarket, Kalshi’s platform lets participants buy and sell outcome contracts rather than place traditional sportsbook bets.

These promotions aim to attract U.S. participants to peer‑to‑peer prediction markets during the high‑profile World Cup knockout games, offering instant trading capital in exchange for account creation and verification.
