Polymarket Upgrades CUSE Code to Add $20 Tradable Bonus That Moves Live MLB Prices
Media partners are pushing regionally restricted signup codes that credit tradable bonus funds, creating visible shifts in MLB prices, prompting questions over residency checks and withdrawal rules.
Overview
- Polymarket is promoting the referral code CUSE that credits $20 in bonus trading funds after a new user verifies identity and makes a $10 deposit, producing a $30 starting balance for eligible U.S. accounts.
- The credited bonus funds become immediately tradable on Polymarket’s peer‑to‑peer orderbook, and reporters observed live MLB moneyline and run‑line prices move after new accounts used the credit.
- To claim the offer users must enter CUSE at signup, complete ID verification, deposit at least $10, and be 18 or older with a legal U.S. residential address in an approved state or territory.
- The promotion raises practical concerns about how strictly Polymarket enforces state residency checks, how long bonus funds can be held or withdrawn, and whether short‑term bonus liquidity will persist.
- This push follows recent product changes that removed Polymarket’s app waitlist and expanded verified, region‑mapped referral codes, a pattern that competitors have also used and that could alter user acquisition and market liquidity.
