OG.com is Crypto.com’s standalone prediction market platform, live since February 3, 2026. Five months in, it has carved out a specific identity: sports-first, with the only dedicated parlay builder among regulated platforms, Live Chat and Leaderboards baked into every market, an invite-only VIP program tied to Crypto.com Arena, and the same CFTC regulatory backbone that supports Kalshi and Polymarket, running through its exchange operator CDNA.
The Core Concept: CFTC-Regulated Event Contracts
Every market on OG is a binary question about the real world. You buy Yes or No contracts priced between $0.01 and $0.99, and the price is the market's implied probability. A contract at $0.65 says the crowd puts the odds at 65%. Winning contracts settle at $1.00, losing contracts at $0.00. That's the whole model, identical across regulated venues; OG's differences live in the product wrapped around it.
Regulatory and Operating Structure
OG is a consumer brand. The exchange underneath is Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (CDNA), which holds both DCM and DCO registrations dating to 2004. Crypto.com acquired it in 2022 and launched the first CFTC-regulated sports event contracts in December 2024. OG's CEO Nick Lundgren doubles as Crypto.com's Chief Legal Officer, and your funds sit in regulated USD custody.
How a Trade Works
Browse markets by category (Sports, Politics, Economics, Crypto, Culture, Climate, Financials, Companies), read the Yes/No question and its live price, pick a side (remember No is a real position), and place the order at the current market price. OG has no limit orders, its most significant gap versus Kalshi. You can sell any position before settlement; winners pay $1, losers $0, funds available immediately.
Fees
One line: $0.02 per contract to open, $0.02 to close early, $0 at settlement. Fees don't vary with probability, so OG is slightly pricier than Kalshi at coin-flips and much pricier on penny longshots, while the free settlement leg means buy-and-hold traders pay half of what active traders pay.
The Parlay Builder: OG's Signature Feature
No other major CFTC-regulated prediction market has this. The Parlay Hub combines multiple sports contracts into a single position with combined odds. Only team-level markets qualify (winner, spread, total), player props can't be parlayed yet, and same-game parlays are supported on eligible markets. Combined odds scale geometrically, so payouts grow fast and win probability shrinks faster.
Social Features and the No-Winner-Ban Policy
Live Chat puts a real-time feed on every event page; Leaderboards rank traders by volume, profit, and win rate. And OG states plainly that it does not limit or ban profitable traders. The structural reason it's credible: OG is an exchange that earns two cents per contract either way, so it profits from winners rather than losing to them.
Settlement Rules Worth Knowing
Winners get $1, losers $0. Cancelled events: Yes positions settle at the volume-weighted average price from the week before cancellation, No positions get $1 minus that, opening fees refunded. Ties with no listed tie outcome pay both sides $0.50 per contract, fees not refunded. Trading runs 24/7 with a maintenance window Saturdays 4-5 AM ET.
Funding and Availability
USD bank transfer (ACH, free), debit card, crypto conversion from 350+ tokens, or an existing Crypto.com wallet. Available in 48 states plus D.C., excluding Arizona and New York; sports additionally unavailable in IL, MD, MA, MI, NV, NJ, and OH, leaving full sports access in 41 states plus D.C.
Bottom Line
OG.com takes the standard Yes/No contract model and wraps the most sportsbook-native product in the regulated space around it: same federal oversight as Kalshi and Polymarket, plus parlays, chat, leaderboards, and a written promise not to punish you for winning. The gaps are real (no limit orders, margin still on the roadmap, thin non-sports books), but if you're a sports bettor who has outgrown the sportsbook model, this platform was built for you.
