Polymarket, a prediction market platform, is offering new users a $20 trading bonus for NFL contracts with a deposit of $10. This promotion is available in anticipation of the upcoming 2026 NFL season.
To qualify for the bonus, users must enter the promo code NYPMAX1 during account registration and make an initial $10 deposit. The bonus can then be applied to various markets on the platform, including NFL futures, daily MLB games, and WNBA.
Polymarket has seen an increase in popularity, hosting markets on topics ranging from election results and pop culture debates to breaking news. The platform's mobile app is accessible to users in select states, including California, New York, and Texas, among others. However, it is not available in Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, and Ohio.
Regarding the 2026 NFL season, Polymarket traders currently do not anticipate a repeat Super Bowl win for the Seattle Seahawks, assigning them a seven percent chance. The Los Angeles Rams are leading the predictions with a 16 percent chance.
New York Post betting expert Sean Treppedi notes that while the Seahawks' defense is strong and quarterback Sam Darnold is reportedly revived, questions remain about the offense, particularly in replacing backfield production and adapting to a new play-caller. He suggests that if the defense remains healthy and younger players develop, the Seahawks could still make a deep postseason run.
Users must be 18 or older, and eligibility requirements apply. Trading on Polymarket involves significant risk, and users could lose their entire investment. The platform's US operations are managed by an independent software provider affiliated with Polymarket US and Polymarket Clearing, a CFTC-regulated entity.
