Polymarket, a prediction market platform, is offering new users a $20 bonus upon a $10 initial deposit. This promotion is tied to the upcoming Major League Baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Seattle Mariners.
Users can utilize the promo code NYPMAX1 during sign-up to receive the bonus. Polymarket operates by allowing users to trade shares on the outcome of specific events, with prices and implied odds fluctuating in real-time. Instead of traditional betting, participants buy and sell "yes" or "no" contracts, where each winning contract pays out $1. Profits are determined by the purchase price of the position.
The platform is available to eligible new users in a number of states, including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia. However, it is not available in Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, and Ohio.
The Dodgers are currently favored to win the World Series on Polymarket. The upcoming game features Roki Sasaki (4-5, 4.71 ERA) for the Dodgers against Bryce Miller (4-5, 2.75 ERA) for the Mariners. Sasaki's recent performance includes seven innings pitched with one run allowed, two walks, and nine strikeouts against the Mets. Miller's last outing resulted in a loss, where he gave up five runs on six hits and one walk over 5 ⅓ innings against the Rangers, failing to record a strikeout for the first time this season.
