Claim 1: “new users at Kalshi can apply the Kalshi promo code NYPMAX to trade $25 and receive up to $500 on additional listed football markets.”
MISLEADING
While multiple cross-references from the NY Post confirm the promo code NYPMAX and the $25 trade for $500 bonus, the evidence shows the bonus is applied to different markets depending on the instance (football, World Series/baseball), making the specific claim that it is for 'football markets' only partially accurate or context-dependent.
