What is it?
During the Program, Kalshi may identify on its website:
“Incentive Periods” (time periods of no less than one week)
“Incentivized Component Events” (specified events on Kalshi, each associated with an Incentive Period)
“Incentive Amounts” (an amount specified by Kalshi associated with a given Incentive Period and Incentivized Component Event(s)).
Kalshi may specify that an Incentive Amount is limited in application to executions which correct for order imbalances. If this is specified, then for markets where the majority of maker orders are on the "No" side, only trades in which the maker order is on the "Yes" side are considered program eligible, and visa-versa (typically on combos, the majority of maker orders are on the "No" sides, so "Yes" side maker orders would be considered corrective of ibalancing).
If at least one Incentivized Component Event appears in the of a FOOTBALLSTATS market, the market is an “Incentivized FOOTBALLSTATS Market” for the duration of the Incentive Period.
A"Program Eligible Trade” is a trade on an incentivized FOOTBALLSTATS market in the Incentive Period where:
The trade is not between two members of Kalshi who both opted into participation of this program; and
If the Incentive Amount is limited to executions that correct for order imbalances, the resting order (maker side) of the trade is a bid for the incentivized liquidity side
At the conclusion of the incentive period Kalshi will distribute the Incentive Amount(s) to liquidity providers in proportion to their maker-volume of Program Eligible Trades.
For example:
Kalshi defines May 2026 as an Incentive Period. Within that Incentive Period, it identifies KXNFLDRAFTPICK-26 as an incentivized component event. It defines an Incentive Amount of $100.
During the incentive period, the total volume of Program Eligible Trades was $10,000. A particular member, Member A, was the “maker” (providing the resting order) for $5,000 of that $10,000 volume.
Because Member A was the maker for half (50%) of the total Program Eligible Trades, after the conclusion of the Incentive Period, Member A receives $50 (50% * $100 = $50).
