Polymarket is offering a promotional bonus for new users interested in trading on the upcoming NFL season opener. New traders can sign up with the promo code NYPMAX1, deposit $10, and receive a $50 trading bonus specifically for the Los Angeles Rams versus San Francisco 49ers game. This event is scheduled to take place in Australia, marking the NFL's international presence.
As of this writing, Polymarket projects the Rams have a 65 percent chance of winning, with over $389,000 in market volume. The promotion is available to eligible new users in several U.S. states, including Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin, and West Virginia. The company notes that trading carries risk, and a 100% loss can occur.
This particular matchup holds statistical interest for both teams. A victory would mark four consecutive season-opening wins for the 49ers, a feat not achieved by the franchise since the 2011-2014 seasons. San Francisco's head coach Kyle Shanahan has a 5-4 record in season openers since taking the helm. Rams head coach Sean McVay has also demonstrated success in Week 1, holding a 6-2 record. However, his two losses as head coach have occurred in nationally televised marquee matchups.
