Novig, an event-contract trading platform operating as a prediction market rather than a traditional sportsbook, is offering new users in Indiana and 28 other states a promotional deal tied to this Saturday’s Notre Dame-Purdue football game.
Under the offer, new traders who enter the code NYPOST during sign-up and deposit $10 receive $25 in trade credits. The credits can be applied to any contest on the platform Saturday, including Notre Dame-Purdue, other Week 4 college football matchups, NFL Week 3 games, MLB contests and international soccer.
Indiana is one of the states where Novig currently operates, alongside Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington D.C. and Wisconsin.
Unlike licensed sportsbooks, prediction-market platforms like Novig structure their offerings as event contracts, a model that has drawn attention as it expands into states with varying gambling regulations. The company states the offer is subject to restrictions and is void where prohibited, and requires users to be at least 21 years old.
The Matchup Driving Interest
Notre Dame enters Saturday’s road game against Purdue with a 3-0 record, backed by a defense allowing just 7.7 points per game, the fourth-best mark in the country. Coach Marcus Freeman’s Fighting Irish are 27.5-point favorites over the unranked Boilermakers.
Purdue, meanwhile, opened Big Ten conference play with a Week 3 loss to UCLA and is looking to avoid a third straight defeat.
Novig’s terms limit the promotional offer to one per user, and the company advises prospective traders to weigh the risks of event-contract trading against their own financial circumstances before participating. Full terms are available at novig.com/terms.
