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.
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.

Where you can save
- Use ACH, not debit — debit-card deposits pass a processor fee through; ACH is usually free.
- Trade deeper markets — NFL and NBA moneylines are penny-wide; niche props widen out.
- Hold to resolution — no second commission on the exit side if the contract settles itself.
