By Drew Ellis in News
Published:
The start of the new NFL season brings the best out of advertisers, and many top prediction market operators, DFS operators, and online sportsbooks are throwing out creative new ad campaigns this week.
Some have brought in the big stars, while others have gotten a little more creative in how they’ve marketed their product.
Here’s a look at some of the best new gambling ad campaigns with the NFL season getting underway.
Prediction Market Ads for NFL Week 1
Polymarket
One of the biggest names in prediction markets went all out with an All-Star collection of celebrities for its newest ad campaign “Polymarket HQ.” The ad starts with LeBron James in an elevator choosing from a selection of “floors” that are different trading market topics. He selects “Sports” and ends up on a floor with the likes of Eli Manning, Derek Jeter, Sue Bird, Spike Lee, Richard Sherman, and more. It’s definitely an ad full of star power.
The latest Polymarket promo code DIME gets new users to the trading platform a $50 bonus by making a $10 deposit.

Novig
On the eve of the NFL season starting, Novig partnered up with new strategic partner Sydney Sweeney for a buzzworthy ad “Novig is just sports.” The actress helps promote Novig’s sports-only prediction market platform just in time for football in the ways only she can.
Novig is looking to make an impact this NFL season and our exclusive Novig promo code DIME gets new users $25 in trade credits with a $10 deposit.

Kalshi
As one of the top prediction markets in the US, Kalshi is always trying to keep its name in the news cycle. While the operator hasn’t released a new ad campaign this week, as of yet, they did run a recent campaign with A-list actor Timothee Chalamet. The series of ads feature the actor at the dentist, playing a synthesizer, and jumping up and down in his home. None particularly focus on Kalshi or what the operator does.
New users to Kalshi can take advantage of our exclusive Kalshi promo code DIME, which gets you $25 in bonuses when you make $25 in trades.
Daily Fantasy / Prediction Markets Ads for NFL Week 1
Underdog
The DFS and prediction market operator has put together an ad campaign featuring Paul Walter Hauser titled “The Dog.” A total of six TV spots will be released encouraging users to “unleash your dog” by using the Underdog DFS and Underdog Predict product. Underdog just recently announced the launch of its federally licensed prediction market platform, expanding on its outreach across the US alongside its already established DFS product.

Betr
Betr went big before the NFL season, producing a 3:30 commercial for its all-encompassing products of DFS, social casino and predictions. The ad brings back Jeremy Piven and Adrian Grenier as their famous roles from the tv show Entourage. Ari Gold works through a party looking for Vinnie Chase while being stopped by the likes of Betr owner Jake Paul who promotes the brand and all it can do. The ad ends with Gold and Chase agreeing to be the new faces of the online operator.
New users to Betr DFS can take advantage of our Betr promo code SBDIME to get up to $200 back in bonuses, as well as a free pick.
