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 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.
OG by Crypto.com is fully legal for Texans 21+. Sports-only, mobile-first, fiat rails.
