Summary

  • $15 in trades now unlocks a $15 Kalshi bonus for new users using promo code CBSSPORTS ahead of Saturday’s France-England third-place match at 5 p.m. ET.
  • SportsLine experts tied the promotion to specific contracts, backing France to win in regulation at $0.53 per share and Kylian Mbappe to score at $0.55.
  • England’s injuries and fatigue were cited as key reasons for the France pick, while Mbappe’s chase for the Golden Boot after drawing level with Messi on eight goals underpinned the scorer trade.
  • Kalshi also highlighted MLB markets, including Atlanta to win or lose by one run or less against Texas at $0.64, broadening the offer beyond the World Cup.
  • The platform said its CFTC-regulated prediction markets include tools such as trading breaks, voluntary opt-out and personalized funding caps, while warning event contracts can cause substantial losses.
