Claim 7: “Once new users enter the Kalshi promo code NYPMAX when creating an account, they can trade $25 and get a $25 in bonus.”
DISPUTED
There is significant contradiction within the provided evidence. One source states the bonus is $25 for a $25 trade, while other sources from the same organization (Nypost) claim the bonus is $500 for a $25 trade.
Claim 8: “New users can trade contracts on preseason football, daily baseball games, and international soccer matches”
SINGLE SOURCE
