Short version: OG by Crypto.com (Crypto.com's rebranded sports event-contract product, traded on the CFTC-regulated CDNA exchange) charges a small commission per filled contract. There are no state gambling taxes and no sportsbook-style vig baked into the line — you pay a transparent fee on top of your traded notional.

TL;DR:

• 💸 Per-contract commission (single-digit cents on typical fills)
• 🏦 Fiat deposits (ACH/debit) — no wallet or bridging needed
• 📜 CFTC-regulated exchange (CDNA — Crypto.com Derivatives North America)
• 🚫 No Texas state gambling tax — federal-only

How the fee works

Sports event contracts trade against an order book on CDNA. You buy YES or NO shares between $0.01 and $0.99. On each filled contract, OG by Crypto.com adds a small commission — meaningfully cheaper than the implied ~5–10% hold on a traditional sportsbook line, and typically in the same range as Kalshi's scaled schedule for small trades. Fees are shown in the ticket before you confirm.
