Crypto.com offers its event contracts through Crypto.com Derivatives North America, a market registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. A federally regulated market does not need a separate New Hampshire licence to offer its core event contracts, which is why those can be available to New Hampshire residents. The live friction is around sports event contracts, where states have pushed back and the operator paused some markets.
As of February 2026, Crypto.com non sports event contracts are generally available to verified New Hampshire residents through its CFTC registered market, subject to age and identity verification. Sports event contracts are contested: the operator paused them in several states in December 2025 and the jurisdictional question is unsettled, so confirm the specific market before you act.
Availability is indicative and individual states may restrict specific products, sports event contracts in particular. Scores are illustrative editorial examples. Confirm the current position before acting.
As of February 2026, Crypto.com event contracts are generally available to verified New Hampshire residents for the non sports categories. The contracts are offered through Crypto.com Derivatives North America, a designated contract market registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, so access does not turn on a separate New Hampshire gambling licence. You still need to be of legal age and pass identity checks. This is general information, not legal advice.
The event contracts are listed and cleared by Crypto.com Derivatives North America, known as CDNA, a designated contract market and clearinghouse registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The trading sits inside the wider Crypto.com app, but the contracts themselves are the federally registered CDNA product.
Treat this as contested and limited. In December 2025 Crypto.com paused its sports event contracts in several states amid state pushback, and federal and state authorities continue to dispute who governs them. A federal appeals court indicated in April 2026 that the CFTC's jurisdiction over sports event contracts is likely exclusive, but the question is unsettled. Confirm whether the specific sports market you want is offered to New Hampshire residents before relying on it.
An available platform will ask you to confirm your age, verify your identity, and fund the account on its own site. Always check the current eligibility rules directly with the platform before you act.
Event contracts can lose you money, and availability does not mean a market is a sound bet. Stake only what you can afford to lose, never to chase a loss, and never on borrowed money. You must be 18+ or the legal age in your region. If gambling stops feeling like a free choice, step back and seek support from a problem gambling service such as the National Problem Gambling Helpline, which runs a free confidential line in the United States.
The position above rests on the federal framework and on Crypto.com's own regulatory standing. Confirm it yourself before you act, because the rules in this area change.
