Summary

  • $15 in event-contract trades now unlocks a $15 bonus for new Kalshi users who sign up with the referral code CBSSPORTS during the 2026 World Cup knockout stage.
  • The promotion requires a new account, a deposit and at least $15 traded, after which the bonus is credited regardless of trade outcomes; the credit expires in 30 days and cannot be withdrawn.
  • Kalshi tied the offer to Sunday's Round of 16 slate, pricing England at $0.40 per share to beat Mexico in regulation and Brazil at $0.55 to beat Norway.
  • The platform also highlighted England's 3-0 tournament record against host Mexico's home-field edge in Mexico City, while noting its prediction markets are regulated by the CFTC and carry substantial-loss risk.
