Polymarket Code CUSE Gives New U.S. Users $20 Trading Bonus After $10 Deposit

Overview

• Polymarket is offering a publisher-distributed referral code called CUSE that credits new U.S. accounts with a $20 trading bonus after a $10 first deposit and verification.
• The CUSE code must be entered at registration and, once Polymarket clears ID and residency checks, the $20 posts to the account and can be traded in any open market on the site.
• Reporters have observed bonus-funded accounts placing live trades that move peer-to-peer market prices, which raises concerns about short-term price distortion and market integrity.
• Polymarket’s structure is peer-to-peer, so user orders set odds rather than a house setting lines, and that design makes transient promotional liquidity more likely to affect quoted prices.
• The promotion is one of several publisher-specific codes being distributed regionally and the coverage highlights open questions about eligibility enforcement, withdrawal or playthrough terms, and consumer protections.
