FAQ

Questions readers keep asking.

What is Sports Event Trading on Crypto.com?

It is a CFTC regulated derivatives feature where you trade binary Yes or No contracts on sporting outcomes, priced as a fraction of one dollar, with an order book and live prices. Correct contracts settle at their dollar tier value and incorrect ones pay nothing.

How do I start trading sports events on Crypto.com?

Open a Crypto.com account, complete identity verification, and fund it in US dollars. Then open the Sports or Events section, choose a market, pick your side and contract tier, and place the order. You can trade out before settlement.

Who regulates Crypto.com sports event contracts?

They are provided through a Crypto.com derivatives arm regulated by the CFTC in the United States, which places them in the federal derivatives framework rather than under state gambling regulators. The legal treatment of sports markets has been contested, so verify the current position.

Are these contracts available in every US state?

Not necessarily. Sports event contracts can face state level restrictions, and availability changes. Confirm what is offered where you live before relying on it.

How much can I lose on a contract?

The most you can lose on a single contract is the price you paid for it. If your side is wrong at settlement, the contract pays nothing.
