Polymarket Rolls Out $50 Referral Codes for World Cup and MLB Markets
Instant $50 bonuses give new users immediate trading funds that can shift peer-to-peer prices, with state residency and ID checks set to limit how many accounts convert to ongoing traders.
Overview
- Polymarket launched verified $50 invite/referral codes this week and removed its registration waitlist, with regional publishers confirming codes such as CUSE and OREGON are active as of Friday, July 10.
- New users must enter an invite code at signup, complete identity verification, and make a $20 qualifying first deposit to have $50 in bonus trading funds automatically credited.
- The bonus can be used across Polymarket’s full marketplace, including World Cup and MLB markets, and the peer-to-peer matching model means promo-funded trades can move prices directly.
- Eligibility is limited to new U.S. accounts age 18 or older and to approved states or territories, so post-signup residency and ID checks will be the main control on how many bonus accounts actually trade long term.
- Rivals such as Kalshi continue to offer smaller, state-limited signup promos, and the likely near-term effect is concentrated liquidity and price swings around marquee events, so readers should review platform terms and responsible-gaming guidance before participating.
