What is the Kalshi sign-up bonus in Texas? New Kalshi users who register with code TXPREDICTS and trade $25 in event contracts receive a $25 bonus. It's a trade-and-get offer, not a deposit match — the requirement is trading volume, not deposit size, so a handful of $1 contracts across a few markets gets you there.

Mistakes that void the bonus

• Signing up direct. Landing on kalshi.com without a referral link and the code means no offer is attached, and there's usually no way to add it afterwards.
• Already having an account. The offer is available to new users only.
• Stopping short of $25 traded. The bonus is tied to trading volume — deposit size alone doesn't unlock it.
