Where Is OG.com Available? All 48 Legal States
OG.com Prediction Markets Availability 2026
OG is one of the newest names in U.S. prediction markets - real-money platforms that lets users speculate on sports, politics, economics, crypto and other real-world outcomes using simple yes/no contracts.
Unlike traditional sportsbooks, OG operates through the federal derivatives framework rather than relying on state-by-state sportsbook licenses. That allows OG to reach a much broader footprint than regular sports betting apps.
As of today, OG is available in 48 U.S. states plus Washington, D.C. - including many jurisdictions where traditional online betting is banned. Exactly what you can trade varies by location, however, with some states receiving a broader range of markets than others.
Let’s break down exactly where you can use OG, what markets you can trade on, and where sports contracts fit into the picture.
Why OG Isn't Really a Newcomer
The OG name may be new, but the regulated exchange behind it definitely isn’t.
If you’re hearing of OG for the first time and wondering whether it’s some startup that appeared out of nowhere, the name I’d pay attention to is Nadex.
OG’s event contracts are offered through the North American Derivatives Exchange - better known as Nadex - a CFTC-designated exchange since 2004, when it was still called HedgeStreet. Nadex was acquired by Crypto.com in 2022 and ultimately became the regulated foundation for OG’s launch in February 2026.
OG’s exchange infrastructure isn’t only powering OG - that same exchange infrastructure also sits behind prediction market products offered by Robinhood, DraftKings and FanDuel.
So I wouldn’t judge OG by the age of the logo. While the platform itself is new, the regulated market underneath it has been around since long before prediction markets became the hottest trend in betting.
Where Is OG Available?
OG.com is currently available in every U.S. state except Arizona and New York, plus Washington, D.C. That gives OG a total footprint of 48 states plus D.C:
Alabama (AL), Alaska (AK), Arkansas (AR), California (CA), Colorado (CO), Connecticut (CT), Delaware (DE), Florida (FL), Georgia (GA), Hawaii (HI), Idaho (ID), Illinois (IL), Indiana (IN), Iowa (IA), Kansas (KS), Kentucky (KY), Louisiana (LA), Maine (ME), Maryland (MD), Massachusetts (MA), Michigan (MI), Minnesota (MN), Mississippi (MS), Missouri (MO), Montana (MT), Nebraska (NE), Nevada (NV), New Hampshire (NH), New Jersey (NJ), New Mexico (NM), North Carolina (NC), North Dakota (ND), Ohio (OH), Oklahoma (OK), Oregon (OR), Pennsylvania (PA), Rhode Island (RI), South Carolina (SC), South Dakota (SD), Tennessee (TN), Texas (TX), Utah (UT), Vermont (VT), Virginia (VA), Washington (WA), Washington, D.C., West Virginia (WV), Wisconsin (WI), Wyoming (WY).
However, geography determines what you can actually trade once you get inside the platform.
There are three different levels of availability:
- 41 states (plus Washington, D.C) have access to all event contracts
- 7 states can use OG but cannot trade sports contracts.
- Arizona and New York currently cannot trade any OG prediction markets.
What Markets Does OG.com Offer?
OG has developed one of the broader event-contract catalogs among U.S. prediction markets.
Depending on your location and what contracts are active at the time, categories can include:
- Sports - Football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, tennis, golf, MMA, motorsports, cricket and other competitions
- Politics - Elections, control of Congress, government appointments and other defined political outcomes
- Economics and financials - Federal Reserve decisions, inflation, employment, GDP and other economic indicators
- Crypto - Cryptocurrency price and market-outcome contracts
- Technology and corporate events - AI milestones, company events, product launches and other measurable business outcomes
- Culture and entertainment - Awards, television, music, movies and other entertainment events
- Climate, weather and science - Temperatures, storms, environmental measurements and other objectively resolved events
The exact inventory of markets moves constantly. Prediction markets exist around events, so contracts open, trade and disappear as those events approach and eventually resolve.
However, not every state gets access to all of OG's Prediction's market types.
Which OG.com Prediction Markets Are Available in My State?
OG’s state map falls into three clean groups: states with sports and non-sports prediction markets, states where sports contracts are restricted, and states where OG trading is unavailable altogether.
States Where OG.com Offers Sports Prediction Markets
OG currently allows sports event-contract trading in 41 states plus Washington, D.C.
Alabama (AL), Alaska (AK), Arkansas (AR), California (CA), Colorado (CO), Connecticut (CT), Delaware (DE), Florida (FL), Georgia (GA), Hawaii (HI), Idaho (ID), Indiana (IN), Iowa (IA), Kansas (KS), Kentucky (KY), Louisiana (LA), Maine (ME), Minnesota (MN), Mississippi (MS), Missouri (MO), Montana (MT), Nebraska (NE), New Hampshire (NH), New Mexico (NM), North Carolina (NC), North Dakota (ND), Oklahoma (OK), Oregon (OR), Pennsylvania (PA), Rhode Island (RI), South Carolina (SC), South Dakota (SD), Tennessee (TN), Texas (TX), Utah (UT), Vermont (VT), Virginia (VA), Washington (WA), West Virginia (WV), Wisconsin (WI), Wyoming (WY), and Washington, D.C.
Users in these jurisdictions can access OG’s sports contracts alongside whatever additional non-sports markets are currently offered.
And OG’s sports product goes considerably deeper than simply picking who wins a game.
Depending on the sport and event, you may find contracts tied to individual games, championship winners, playoff qualification, point spreads, totals and live outcomes.
Why Does OG.com Block Sports Contracts in Some States?
Trying to understand OG’s sports availability by looking at a map of legal sportsbook states will drive you insane pretty quickly.
Pennsylvania has legal sportsbooks and still gets OG sports markets. So does Colorado. New Jersey has legal sportsbooks and does not.
The better explanation is regulatory friction.
A handful of state gambling regulators have challenged the idea that federally regulated sports event contracts can operate inside their borders without obtaining a traditional state sportsbook license. Those disputes have produced cease-and-desist orders, court cases and enough legal uncertainty that prediction-market companies have sometimes withdrawn sports products while continuing to offer other categories.
OG currently takes that approach in seven states.
States Where OG.com Is Available Without Sports Contracts
OG.com remains available in seven states where sports event contracts are currently restricted:
Illinois (IL), Maryland (MD), Massachusetts (MA), Michigan (MI), Nevada (NV), New Jersey (NJ), Ohio (OH).
If you live in one of these states, you can still access qualifying non-sports prediction markets.
This means that while you cannot trade on sports outcomes, you can still speculate on categories like:
- Political events
- Economic indicators
- Financial outcomes
- Culture and entertainment
- Technology and corporate events
- Climate and other real-world events
That means someone in Pennsylvania can use OG to trade an NFL outcome while someone across the border in New Jersey cannot - even though both states have regulated sportsbooks.
States Where OG.com Is Not Available
OG.com currently blocks prediction-market trading entirely in:
Arizona (AZ) and New York (NY).
Residents of these states cannot trade use OG's platform to trade any kind of contracts at this time.

How Does OG.com Work?
OG.com lets you trade event contracts tied to whether a defined real-world outcome will happen.
Most contracts are structured around simple Yes and No positions. The price of a contract changes as traders buy and sell, so a Yes contract trading at $0.60 effectively means the market is pricing that outcome at around 60%.
If you buy a winning contract and hold it through settlement, it pays $1 per contract. A losing contract settles at $0. Your profit therefore depends on what you paid to enter the position.
For example, buying a Yes contract for $0.40 gives you a potential gross profit of $0.60 if the contract eventually settles at $1.
You do not always have to hold a position until the event resolves. OG allows certain contracts to be traded before settlement, subject to market conditions and available liquidity.
What Sports Bettors Should Know Before Using OG.com
If you come from sportsbooks, the biggest mistake you can make is treating a 60-cent Yes contract like American odds wearing a fintech hoodie.
Look at the entire trade.
Check the contract price, the fee, the market rules and how much liquidity is actually sitting there before you decide you’ve found value. A juicy-looking price is considerably less juicy when the market is thin or the fee eats into the edge.
I also read the settlement rules every single time I trade an unfamiliar market. Sportsbook bettors are trained to understand what a moneyline, spread or total means. Prediction contracts can be built around much more specific conditions, and the wording determines what gets paid.
OG has also started introducing limit orders, which I like. They let you decide the price you’re willing to pay rather than automatically accepting whatever is available right now. The trade may never fill, but at least you’re controlling the entry instead of chasing the screen.

Can I Win Real Money on OG.com?
Yes. OG.com prediction markets use real-money event contracts.
You are putting real money at risk when you open a position, and successful contracts settle for real cash value.
For a typical binary event contract, the contract pays $1 if the specified outcome occurs and $0 if it does not.
Your actual profit depends on what you paid for the contract and any applicable fees.
For example, if you buy a Yes contract for $0.40 and it ultimately settles at $1, the gross difference is $0.60 per contract before fees.
OG also allows certain positions to be traded before the underlying event settles, subject to market conditions and available liquidity. That means you may sometimes be able to exit a position rather than holding it until the final outcome.
Why Is OG.com Allowed to Offer Prediction Markets?
The most important thing to understand is that OG operates through the federally regulated prediction-market framework, rather than the state-by-state licensing system used by traditional sportsbooks.
Its event contracts are offered through a CFTC-regulated exchange structure. That allows qualifying contracts to be offered as federally regulated derivatives rather than ordinary sportsbook wagers.
For users, that is why OG can offer real-money sports contracts in states such as California and Texas even though traditional statewide online sportsbooks are not legal there.
Sports contracts remain the complicated part. Some state regulators argue that sports event contracts still amount to sports wagering within their borders and should require a state gambling license. Prediction-market operators take the position that federally regulated contracts fall under federal commodities jurisdiction.
That disagreement is still playing out in courts and regulatory actions, which is why OG’s sports availability can differ from state to state even while the broader prediction-market product remains federally regulated.

For current availability, the platform’s newer eligibility guidance takes precedence.
According to OG’s current published eligibility rules, yes — including sports contracts.
However, Connecticut regulators issued a cease-and-desist order to Crypto.com in September 2026 as part of a broader crackdown on prediction-market companies.
OG has not yet added Connecticut to its published restricted-state list.
We are therefore treating Connecticut as currently available based on OG’s own eligibility information, while recognizing that its status could change quickly as the state enforcement action develops.
