Summary

  • $50 in bonus funds now unlocks on a $20 first deposit for new U.S. Polymarket accounts using the OREGON code, giving users a $70 starting balance ahead of Saturday’s MLB and UFC markets.
  • The code must be entered during registration, cannot be added later, and grants immediate access to Polymarket’s full prediction-market catalog, which the company is using to drive sign-ups and trading volume.
  • Seattle’s game against Boston is one of the platform’s biggest regional markets Saturday, with the Mariners priced at 55% versus the Red Sox at 46% and first-inning run odds near an even split.
  • UFC flyweight action is also drawing flow, with 11 active Horiguchi-Kape markets and $19.95K in volume; traders price Manel Kape at 59% and lean heavily toward a KO/TKO finish.
  • OREGON was distributed for Pacific Northwest readers, while companion affiliate codes such as MASS, CUSE and CLEVE carry the same $50 offer for other regional audiences.
