Kalshi, a prediction market platform, is offering a promotional bonus for new users who wish to engage with sports predictions. Through the use of the promo code NYPMAX, individuals can trade $10 and receive $15.

This offer is available for the upcoming Major League Baseball game between the New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals. The promotion aims to attract new users to Kalshi's platform, which allows participants to trade contracts on various events, including sports.

To qualify for the $15 bonus, new users must sign up, enter the promo code NYPMAX, verify their account, and complete at least $10 in trades. Kalshi operates in numerous states and territories across the United States, including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Washington D.C., West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The promotion is not available in Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, and Ohio.

The Mets are currently navigating a difficult first half of the season, which has led to them being in a position to potentially sell players ahead of the trade deadline as they re-evaluate their strategy for future seasons. This contrasts sharply with expectations from the beginning of the season in March.
