Polymarket's $50 Indy 500 betting bonus drops this Sunday—here's how to claim it
Polymarket is offering a $50 trading bonus to new users who sign up on Sunday, May 24, 2026. The promotion requires a $20 deposit and applies to bets on the 2026 Indy 500, where Alex Palou is currently the favourite to win. The bonus becomes available for Indy 500 prediction contracts from 12:45 p.m. ET. To qualify, users must download the Polymarket app, enter their details, and deposit $20. The promo code HANDLE must be used at sign-up to unlock the offer.
Polymarket operates in 42 U.S. states and Washington D.C. However, residents of AZ, IL, MA, MD, MI, MT, NV, and OH are excluded from this promotion. All participants must be at least 18 years old and provide a valid U.S. residential address in an eligible region. Analysts favour Alex Palou for the 2026 Indy 500 due to his experience, consistent team performance, and pole position. His lack of strong challengers further strengthens his chances of victory.
The $50 bonus is limited to new users who meet the deposit and location requirements. Eligible traders can use the funds on Indy 500 contracts starting at 12:45 p.m. ET. The promotion runs only on May 24, 2026.
