Summary

  • $25 from Kalshi leads a slate of preseason NFL prediction-market offers, with new users eligible after trading $25 ahead of the Packers-Broncos exhibition.
  • Five major apps are pitching sign-up incentives to build early-season betting activity: Polymarket offers $20 on a $10 deposit, Novig $25 in trade credit for $10 spent, ProphetX $20 for $10 traded, and Onyx Odds $50 in bonus picks.
  • Broncos-Packers is the featured example for using those credits, with Denver listed at -234 and a 67.2% implied win probability versus Green Bay at +193 and 32.8%.
  • The promotions are also being framed as a gateway to longer-dated NFL futures markets, including Super Bowl and MVP predictions, before the regular season begins.
