Because nothing says “trustworthy financial exchange” quite like footing someone’s grocery bill so they’ll finally understand what a prediction market is, right?
Kalshi is basically saying, “Hey New York, forget your sky-high rent and avocado toast — let us pick up your groceries so later you can put actual money into bets on egg prices going up.”
It’s like the marketing team sat around sipping overpriced lattes and said, “Free groceries? Sure! Low customer acquisition cost is totally a thing when you plaster your logo all over $50 bags of kale and Trader Joe’s mac ’n’ cheese.” Whether it’s genuine goodwill or a clever stunt to get eyeballs on their markets, at least they’re helping people put food in their carts… right before they try to put money into Kalshi.
The Deal: Free Groceries up to $50
If you are looking to stock up your fridge, you need to head to the Westside Market on 3rd Avenue. Kalshi has announced they will be covering grocery tabs for shoppers, offering up to $50 off your bill per person.
If you are new to the app, you can stack even more free cash. By using the referral code CLEATZ1 when you sign up, you will get an additional $10 free on the platform.
