OG is Crypto.com's standalone prediction-market app, launched on February 3, 2026. Its contracts are offered by Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (CDNA), which Crypto.com describes as "a CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse" (Crypto.com). OG leads with sports but also lists economic, political, cultural and entertainment markets. The same exchange supplies contracts to Fanatics Markets and, since June 2026, to FanDuel Predicts.
Earlier versions of this review said OG was not a CFTC-regulated venue and listed only sports. Both statements were wrong. This review covers how OG works, what it costs, where it is available and how it compares. We earn nothing when you open an OG account, and the link on this page goes to og.com.

Pros and cons
Pros
- CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse behind every contract.
- More than sports. Economics, politics, culture and crypto markets sit next to the sports board.
- Parlays of up to four legs.
- Low reported fees. About 2¢ a contract to open, and nothing at settlement.
- Open at 18 in most states.
- Many deposit methods, including PayPal and Venmo.
Cons
- Not in Arizona or New York, and sports are off in seven more states.
- Fee reports differ. One review describes fees of up to $0.20 a contract on larger contracts. Check the ticket.
- ACH-only withdrawals.
- Narrow parlays. No player props, no live legs, four legs at most.
- Small welcome offer next to DraftKings' and FanDuel's.
What OG is
Crypto.com launched OG on February 3, 2026, as a separate app from its main exchange app. The launch release named features that most prediction markets lack: a social feed for sharing views, a leaderboard and parlays. It also said OG planned to offer margin prediction contracts through Crypto.com's futures commission merchant, which it called the first margin product on a prediction-market platform. We have not seen that product launch. At launch, Crypto.com's chief executive said its prediction-market business had grown 40 times week on week over the previous six months.
OG is one front end for CDNA. Fanatics Markets has used CDNA's markets and pricing since December 2025 (Fanatics). In June 2026 FanDuel Predicts began listing CDNA contracts, including combinations, next to its CME Group contracts (Yogonet).
How a trade works
Every market is a yes-or-no contract. Prices run from 1¢ to 99¢ and the winning side pays $1. A price of 35¢ means the market rates the outcome at about 35%. You can sell before the event settles, and the most you can lose is what you paid.
A parlay combines up to four outcomes into one position that pays only if every leg wins. On OG, parlays are limited to pre-match, team-level markets: game winners, spreads and totals, not player props (BettingUSA). Kalshi, DraftKings Predictions and Novig also offer combination contracts, so OG is not alone here.
Fees
BettingUSA reports a fee of $0.02 per contract to open a position and $0.02 to close it before settlement. Positions held to settlement pay nothing more. On that basis, 100 contracts at 50¢ cost $50 plus $2. Other reviews describe CDNA's schedule differently, with fees that vary by contract size and reach $0.20 per contract on larger contracts. We could not find a fee table published by OG itself. Check the order ticket before you confirm.
Deposits and withdrawals
BettingUSA lists instant bank transfer through Plaid, ACH, wire, PayPal, debit card, Google Pay, Apple Pay and Venmo for deposits. Withdrawals go by ACH only. Funds move through regulated banks, not crypto wallets. Earlier versions of this review said OG took crypto deposits; we found no current source that confirms it.
What you can trade
- Sports. NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football and basketball, soccer, tennis, golf and Formula 1, with winner, spread, total, player-prop and futures markets.
- Economics and finance. Economic indicators, financial markets and company events.
- Politics. Political event contracts.
- Culture and entertainment. Awards, media and pop-culture markets.
- Crypto. Price markets on major coins.
The sports and category lists are from BettingUSA and Crypto.com's launch release.

Welcome offer
OG's current offer pays $10 in credits after you place and settle a trade of at least $10 within seven days of passing identity checks. The trade must be on a contract priced below 80%, and trades placed with existing rewards do not count. No code is needed, and the offer runs until December 31, 2026 (Bettors Insider). At launch, Crypto.com offered up to $500 in rewards to the first one million users. Our OG promo code page has the details.
OG vs Kalshi, Polymarket and FanDuel Predicts
| OG | Kalshi | Polymarket US | FanDuel Predicts | |

| Minimum age | 18 | 18 | See review | 18 |
| Markets | Sports plus economics, politics, culture | Broadest catalog in the US | Politics, sports, culture | Sports in 18 states, finance everywhere |
| Not available | AZ, NY | Limits in some states (review) | AZ, IL, MA, MD, MI, MT, NV, OH | Sports off in 32 states |
| Parlays | Up to four legs, team markets | Combos | See review | Combinations from CDNA |
| Fees | About $0.02 per contract, reported | Fee curve by price | Taker fee by price | Shown on the ticket |
OG's best case is a trader who wants sports and a few non-sports markets in one app, at a low per-contract fee, outside the restricted states. Kalshi still lists far more markets and has the most volume. Read our Kalshi review, Polymarket review and FanDuel Predicts review, or see the best sports prediction markets.
Taxes
The IRS has not issued guidance written for event contracts, and their treatment is unsettled. Keep your own trade records and check which forms OG sends at year end. Our guide to taxes on event contracts sets out the main positions. This is not tax advice.
Final verdict
OG is a sound app on a CFTC-registered exchange, with low reported fees, a broad menu and simple parlays. It suits traders aged 18 and over outside Arizona and New York who want sports and some non-sports markets in one place. It is weaker if you want player-prop parlays, large welcome offers or the depth of Kalshi's order books. Check the fee on the ticket until OG publishes its own schedule.
