- Kalshi operates as a federally-regulated event contract exchange offering Yes/No cricket prediction markets where shares priced between $0.01 and $0.99 settle at $1.00 if the chosen outcome occurs.
- New users who register with referral code CBSSPORTS and place $25+ in trades within 30 days receive a $25 trading bonus, with credits expiring seven days after issuance and profits only withdrawable after the full bonus is deployed.
- The promotion excludes 13 states including AR, AZ, IL, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MT, NJ, NV, OH and WA, and requires users to be 18+ with a valid U.S. residential address.
- A featured Zimbabwe vs. Australia ODI on September 18 at 3:30 a.m. ET had Australia priced at $0.89 and Zimbabwe at $0.12 per event contract as of September 17, with over $23,000 already traded on that market.
- Kalshi provides responsible-trading tools including temporary trading breaks, voluntary self-exclusion with user-set terms, and personalized monthly deposit caps adjustable within account settings.
Why it matters: Kalshi's expanded cricket catalog — anchored by the $23,000-traded Zimbabwe-Australia ODI market — gives U.S. bettors a federally-regulated venue to wager on international cricket, though the 13-state exclusion list and the structure requiring the full $25 bonus to be traded before profits can be withdrawn materially limits accessibility for casual fans.
