How to Sign Up for OG.com: A Step-by-Step Guide

By PredictQ Team // Updated: July 2026

Signing up for OG.com takes 10-15 minutes for most people, and the account you finish with is the same one that collects the up to $100 welcome bonus. One important update if you’ve read older guides: OG no longer pays bonuses for verification steps. The current offer is volume-based. You get $10 for trading $10, then additional bonuses as your settled volume passes $100, $250, and $500, capped at $100 total.

So the signup flow itself is just the price of admission. Here’s the complete path from registration to first trade, including what documents you need and how the bonus actually tracks.

Before You Start: What You’ll Need

Have these ready:

The OG mobile app (iOS or Android) or the web platform at OG.com. Both work; mobile is slightly faster.
An email address you can check immediately.
A phone number that receives SMS.
A government-issued photo ID (driver’s license or passport).
Your Social Security Number for KYC.
A funding source: USD bank account for ACH, debit card, or crypto in the Crypto.com ecosystem.
Confirmation you’re 18+ and physically in an eligible state. OG doesn’t operate in Arizona or New York, and sports markets are unavailable in IL, MD, MA, MI, NV, NJ, and OH.

Step 1: Sign Up Through a Promo Link

Click HERE to start. Bonus tracking applies automatically; there’s no code to enter. Registration works the same on web or in the app.

Step 2: Create Your Account

Tap Sign Up and provide your legal name, email, a password, your date of birth (18+ required), and your home address. Use your real legal details. Mismatches between your signup info and your ID are the number one cause of KYC delays.

Step 3: Verify Email and Phone

OG emails you a verification link and texts you an SMS code. Confirm both. These steps used to carry small cash bonuses; they don’t anymore, but the account is frozen at this stage until they’re done.

Use a real phone number in your own name. Disposable or virtual numbers get flagged for manual review, and manual review is where your 15-minute signup turns into a two-day wait.

Step 4: Complete ID Verification

The KYC step. OG asks for a government-issued photo ID, a selfie liveness check, and occasionally a proof of address (utility bill or bank statement) if something needs a second look.

Make your ID photo well-lit, sharp, showing all four corners, with no glare. Verification usually clears in minutes. Flagged accounts can take a few hours to a day.

Step 5: Confirm State Eligibility

OG geolocates you at trade time, so eligibility follows your physical location, not your registered address. As of July 2026: no access in Arizona or New York; everything except sports available in Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, and Ohio; full access in the other 41 states plus DC.

Step 6: Make Your First Deposit

Funding options:

USD bank transfer (ACH): Free, 1-3 business days to fully clear.
Debit card: Faster; your issuer may charge its own processing fee.
Crypto deposit: Convert any of the 350+ supported tokens through the Crypto.com ecosystem into USD trading balance.
Existing Crypto.com wallet: Direct integration if you’re already in the ecosystem.

Deposit at least enough to trade $10 comfortably. If you plan to chase the full bonus, remember the top milestone sits at $500 in settled volume.

Step 7: Place Your First Trade and Start the Bonus Clock

This is where the money starts. The rules that govern qualifying volume:

Contracts must be priced under $0.80. Heavy favorites at 80 cents and above don’t count toward milestones.
Cash-funded trades only. Volume placed with bonus credit doesn’t advance you to the next tier.
Settled volume is what’s measured, so short-dated markets (tonight’s games, this week’s economic prints) move you through the tiers fastest.
7-day window. All milestones close a week in. What you haven’t collected by then, you don’t collect.

Trade your first $10 on a market you actually have a view on and the first $10 in bonus credits immediately. Keep trading through $100, $250, and $500 in settled volume to collect the rest.

Step 8: Know What Your Bonus Credit Can Do

Bonus funds can be traded but never withdrawn directly. Profits from bonus-funded trades become withdrawable once playthrough requirements are met. Credits expire 7 days after they’re issued. And bonus-funded volume doesn’t count toward further milestones, so keep your milestone trades in cash and spend the credit separately.

Step 9: Explore the Platform

Worth finding on day one:

Parlay Hub: OG’s dedicated parlay builder, the only one on a regulated prediction market. Team-level sports markets only (winner, spread, total); player props can’t be parlayed yet.
Live Chat: Real-time discussion on every event page.
Leaderboards: Top traders ranked by volume, profit, and win rate.
Referral program: Up to $250 for you and $250 for each friend, based on their first-30-day settled volume across $100/$500/$1,000/$2,500 tiers. Better than the welcome bonus if you have a network.
VIP program: Invite-only, with Crypto.com Arena events. Request consideration in-app once you have real volume.

Step 10: Lock Down the Account

Enable two-factor authentication, turn on notifications for fills and settlements, and look at the responsible trading tools in settings before you need them.

What You End Up With

A verified account, a funded balance, up to $100 in bonus credit if you work the milestones inside the week, and access to every market category your state allows. The whole thing costs you 15 minutes and the trades you were going to make anyway.
