Novig made the jump from a sweepstakes-style app to a fully regulated, real-money sports exchange in 2026. The platform operates as a CFTC-regulated Designated Contract Market through its Ludlow Exchange entity, which means trades on Novig are treated as federally regulated financial derivatives rather than traditional sportsbook wagers. That federal framework is why Novig can operate in 47 states plus Washington, D.C. — well beyond the map of any state-licensed sportsbook — with only Arizona, Michigan, and Nevada currently excluded.
Novig also picked up extra mainstream attention this month when actress Sydney Sweeney joined the company as a strategic partner and equity holder, fronting its new “Just Sports” ad campaign. The spots lean into Novig’s core positioning as a sports-only exchange — no politics, no war or death contracts, just trading on sports outcomes.
Novig’s current welcome offer is a straightforward deposit-based bonus. New users who register with promo code ROOKIE and make a qualifying deposit of at least $10 receive $25 in trade credits — no qualifying trade required first. The credit is issued as five separate $5 trade credits rather than one lump sum, and each credit expires 30 days after it’s issued.
Trade credits can only be applied to contracts priced between $0.01 and $0.60. If a trade credit isn’t fully used on a single contract within that price band, the leftover balance does not roll over or carry forward — so it’s worth planning which markets to use each credit on rather than applying it to a contract that leaves money on the table. Spreading the five credits across a few different trades, rather than trying to stack them on one position, tends to make the most of the full $25. For a full breakdown of the exchange itself — pricing, fee structure, and how it stacks up post-relaunch — see our complete Novig review.
The offer is limited to new users only, with a limit of one offer per account, and applicants must be 21 or older. Novig operates as a CFTC-regulated exchange and is legal in the large majority of states, with Arizona, Michigan, and Nevada currently excluded. No qualifying trade is required to earn the bonus — the credits are issued once registration, identity verification, and the qualifying deposit are complete using promo code ROOKIE. Each $5 credit only applies to contracts priced from $0.01 to $0.60, and any unused portion expires without rolling over.
Novig’s core value beyond the welcome offer is baked into its everyday pricing rather than a rotating promo calendar. Pregame straight trades carry zero fees for both makers and takers, and there’s no fee on bank transfer or debit card withdrawals — an ongoing cost advantage that applies to every trade, not just a limited-time promotion. Live in-game trades and parlays do carry standard fees since Novig’s move to a real-money exchange model.
