Polymarket has launched a new promo code, "CLEVE," for residents of Ohio. This code activates a $20 referral bonus for new users who make an initial $10 deposit, coinciding with increased trading activity for MLB.

Cleveland Akron, OH, August 26, 2026 —
Polymarket, a platform for event-based trading, has introduced a promotional offer specifically for residents of Ohio. The new promo code, “CLEVE,” is designed to incentivize new users within the state to join the platform.
Under the terms of this promotion, new users who are residents of Ohio can receive a $20 referral bonus. To qualify for this bonus, individuals must use the “CLEVE” promo code and make an initial deposit of at least $10 onto the platform. The launch of this code coincides with a noted increase in trading activity related to Major League Baseball (MLB) events on Polymarket.
The details regarding the duration of the “CLEVE” promo code offer were not provided. The platform’s referral program typically aims to expand its user base by rewarding both the referrer and the referred user, though specific details for this Ohio-focused promotion, beyond the $20 bonus for a $10 deposit, were not immediately available.
Polymarket operates as a decentralized information markets platform where users can trade contracts based on the outcome of real-world events. The platform has seen engagement across various categories, including politics, current events, and sports. The current focus on MLB trading may be a strategic move to leverage popular sporting events for user acquisition and engagement, particularly within specific geographic regions like Ohio.
The company did not provide specific figures on the expected impact of this promotion on new user acquisition in Ohio or the projected increase in trading volume. The promo code is available for new users only, and the referral bonus is contingent upon the completion of the initial $10 deposit.
