Get $10 to bet on World Cup matches—here’s how

Kalshi is offering new traders a $10 bonus if they place at least $10 worth of bets on four World Cup games Monday. No matter how the matches turn out, the bonus hits the account within days. The catch? It expires after 30 days and can’t be taken out as cash. Four matches are on the menu, with odds that look tempting for cautious bettors. Uruguay is a favorite at 68 cents per share to win over Saudi Arabia, while Belgium is priced at 57 cents to score more than 1. 5 goals against Egypt. Iran, ranked 20th worldwide, is trading at 54 cents to beat New Zealand, who sit at 85th. Smaller long-shot bets include Darwin Núñez to score for Uruguay at 39 cents per share.The promotion targets newcomers who haven’t used Kalshi before. Sign-up takes minutes on a phone or computer. After the first $10 in trades, the $10 bonus lands automatically. The company pitches these as low-risk starter bets, but seasoned traders know event contracts can swing wildly based on injuries or referee calls. Behind the scenes, Kalshi provides basic risk controls—like pausing trades or capping how much can be lost. The platform is watched by U. S. regulators, yet betting on outcomes still carries real risk. Losses can pile up faster than wins, especially when odds are close to 50-50. Beginners should treat the bonus as play money, not a way to build real savings.
