  1. Step 1 — Sign up
  2. Step 2 — Complete KYC
  3. Step 3 — Fund with USD
  4. Step 4 — Place your first trade
  5. Step 5 — Withdraw

TL;DR:

  1. Download the Crypto.com app and open the Sports tab (OG by Crypto.com).
  2. Complete KYC (name, address, DOB, SSN, photo ID).
  3. Fund with ACH or debit card in USD.
  4. Buy YES / NO on any listed sports contract.
  5. Withdraw to bank whenever — no lockup.

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 are eligible (OG's minimum age is 18; we recommend 21+) — 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 game winner, 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.
