Step 1 — Sign up
Grab the Crypto.com app (iOS/Android) or open crypto.com/sports on desktop. Sign up with your email. Texas residents 21+ are eligible — OG by Crypto.com trades on CDNA (Crypto.com Derivatives North America), a CFTC-regulated Designated Contract Market, so it's federally authorized in Texas the same way Kalshi is.
Step 2 — Complete KYC
You'll enter your legal name, Texas address, date of birth, SSN, and upload a photo ID. Approval is usually under 5 minutes. This is standard for any CFTC-regulated exchange.
Step 3 — Fund with USD
Link your bank via ACH (free, 1–2 business days for first deposit) or use a debit card for an instant deposit with a small processor fee. There's no need to buy crypto or use a wallet — sports contracts settle in USD.
Step 4 — Place your first trade
Pick a market (NFL moneyline, NBA total, championship winner, etc.). Choose YES or NO. Enter size. The ticket shows the fee before you confirm. Fills are instant on the deepest markets.
Step 5 — Withdraw
Sell your position (or hold to resolution) and withdraw to your linked bank via ACH. No withdrawal lock-ups and no state gambling tax in Texas — federal income tax only on your profits.
OG by Crypto.com is fully legal for Texans 21+. Sports-only, mobile-first, fiat rails.
