Overview
- Following Wednesday's 7-0 Yankees win over the Giants, prediction-market platforms and major sportsbooks rolled out Opening Day and weekend sign-up deals.
- Prediction markets let users buy and sell contracts during a game or season, which allows people to lock in gains or cut losses in ways sportsbooks do not offer.
- Kalshi gives $10 after $10 in trades, Novig takes 10% off a first trade up to $100 and adds 1,000 Coins plus 5 Cash, Crypto.com offers up to $50 in CRO after a crypto trade and staking, and OG advertises up to $150 through five daily 100% profit boosts and an NCAA tie-in.
- Legacy books like BetMGM, bet365, DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars, Fanatics, theScore and BetParx promote bet matches, bonus bets and insurance offers, with availability and terms varying by state.
- Apps highlight both short-term game markets and long-term picks such as MVP, pennants and the World Series, while Underdog Predict lists MLB options without a current sign-up bonus.
