Come the end of the tournament, and should your prediction be correct, you get to split a $1,000,000 prize pool with everyone else who picked the same winner. Better yet, participating in the event marks a free entry into a “Two Tickets to the World Cup Final” raffle. Entries are live till June 11 (3:00 p.m. EDT). Here’s more.
Kalshi Launches $1M World Cup Giveaway & Tickets Raffle
Just in: Kalshi recently dropped the $1M World Cup promo & tickets raffle giveaway, with entries live till June 11, 2026 (at 3:00 p.m. EDT), and the participation criterion is straight-and-to-the-point. If you’re new to Kalshi, it arguably sits at the helm of the top-rated prediction market sites, wherein you can trade ¢1-¢99 event contracts on real-world outcomes, including politics, economics, weather, entertainment, and sports, such as the NFL, NBA, and now the Soccer World Cup.
Better yet, Kalshi has kicked off a two-pronged promo just for the tournament. Here’s how it works, and a step-by-step to participating:
- The promo ($1M World Cup Contest): Kalshi recently dropped a $1M World Cup promo with entries live till June 11, 2026 (at 3:00 p.m. EDT). Better yet, it’s open to all, with locking in your pick automatically qualifying you for the “Pick the winner, Split $1 million” contest. You’d only need to pick the team to win the 2026 World, say, Spain, France, England, Portugal, etc. Then, if correct, the $1,000,000 prize pool will be split equally among the participants who made the champion pick.
- Two Tickets to the World Cup Final raffle tie-in (the “Secondary Prize”): What’s more, Kalshi adds a “Tickets to the World Cup Final” freebie. Herein, no extra tasks are required, as making your entry for the 2026 World Cup Winner automatically qualifies you for the raffle (regardless of which country you pick). The draw is to be held after the group stage for the tickets to the final on July 19.
- How to participate: This assumes you already have a Kalshi profile; if you haven’t yet, use our on-page banners to join in. Then, once in, click on “Sport” in the main menu → then Soccer on the left-hand side → World Cup → and lastly, the “Pick the tournament winner, split $1M.” Once there, select one country from the 48 teams and submit.
Voila, that’s it. This officially marks your entry into the two-pronged promo. You can also walk back and make other-styled sports predictions on matches like the Mexico vs. South Africa World Cup opener, with all the usual markets available, like moneylines, spreads, points total, 1st half, BTTS, etc., albeit on a “YES” or “NO” prediction format.
