Fans looking to jump into cricket prediction markets have a new offer to check out: Kalshi is handing out a $55 trading bonus right now. But for folks here in Washington State, get ready for a bummer because this specific promo isn’t available where we live. Yeah, it’s a kick in the teeth, considering it’s making waves for those elsewhere trying to trade event contracts during cricket matches through this federally-regulated prediction market exchange.
The Scoop on Kalshi’s Cricket Markets and That Bonus
So, for those in eligible states, Kalshi is the place to be if you’re into trading outcomes for cricket matches from all over the globe. They’ve got a robust catalog, especially if you’re looking for markets with high liquidity. The big draw is their Welcome Bonus: a sweet $55 trading bonus you can snag after your first $25 worth of trades. To get in on this, you’ll need the Kalshi Promo Code **CBSSPORTS55**, and the minimum deposit is just $10. There’s a catch though, like with most good deals: you have to trade that $25 on prediction markets within 30 days of opening your account. Also, that bonus trading credit itself expires after just seven days, and only the *profits* you make from trades using that bonus credit can actually be withdrawn.
The Hard Truth for Washington and How to Join (If You Can)
Now, here’s where it hurts for us in the Emerald City. While users in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and U.S. territories *can* create an account, this particular $55 promotion is **not available** in Washington. Other states missing out include Arkansas, Arizona, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, Nevada, and Ohio. If you’re lucky enough to reside in an eligible U.S. jurisdiction where Kalshi operates, you need to be 18+ and a first-time user who completes the KYC sign-up process. The 30-day window to make your initial $25 in trades is actually a solid perk, giving you more time to get comfortable with the platform compared to other offers that demand it in seven days. To sign up, tap the “CLAIM BONUS” button, download the app, register with your name, address, phone number, and SSN, and seriously, do not forget that **CBSSPORTS55** referral code to lock in the bonus.
It’s a shame we can’t jump on this here, but for those outside Washington who *can*, it’s a straightforward way to potentially boost your prediction market action.
