OG is a legal, regulated prediction market app that is live in every U.S. state except Arizona and New York.
Users on OG can trade contracts based on sports and other real-world outcomes, from politics to weather and more.
OG's fees change based on where a contract is priced and how long you hold the position. You pay $0.01 to $0.0175 per contract on entry, with the rate climbing as a contract moves toward 50c and dropping toward 1c and 99c. Selling before settlement means paying that fee a second time, while holding a winner to resolution costs you nothing on the way out.
You can use my OG fee calculator to see what you’d pay based on order type, contract count, and share price.
OG Pricing & Fees
On OG, pricing comes from the market itself. Users buy and sell contracts based on what they think will happen, and the contract price reflects where buyers and sellers are willing to trade.
Sportsbooks work differently because they set the odds first and build in their cut. OG does not price markets that way, since the number moves with trader demand instead of a sportsbook line.
Even after fees, OG can still offer better pricing than traditional sportsbooks on the same game or event.
OG runs on the same exchange as Crypto.com, so both apps calculate fees identically. Your cost comes down to probability, not position size.
Expect to pay anywhere from $0.01 to $0.0175 per contract.
The closer a market gets to a true toss-up, the more you hand over, while heavy favorites and long shots sit at the cheap end.
That charge hits once on the way in and once more if you bail out early, but ride a winner all the way to settlement and the exit is free.
Detailed Fee Analysis
The number you pay on OG is tied to probability, which means two trades of the same dollar size can cost you different amounts. A contract trading around a toss-up sits at the top of the range at $0.0175, while long shots and near-locks come in closer to the $0.01 floor.
Percentage-wise, that flips the old logic. Buying a 5c contract and paying $0.01 hands over 20% of what you put in, whereas the same penny on a 90c contract barely registers. Cheap contracts carry the highest relative cost even though the absolute number is smaller.
Timing changes the math too. Get in and stay in, and the exchange collects once, since settlement is free when your side wins. Bail out midway, and you've doubled your cost before the market has done anything for you.
That structure quietly punishes anyone who treats prediction markets like a day-trading screen. Clipping two or three cents at a time works fine on paper until you count how many times you've paid to reposition. Traders who take fewer swings and let them breathe come out well ahead on cost.
The one thing OG withholds is a lever to pull. Kalshi and Polymarket both discount or waive the charge when you post an order and wait, rewarding traders who supply liquidity. OG has no equivalent, so whatever the schedule says is what you're paying.
My Crypto vs Kalshi article puts these numbers side by side with Kalshi's, and since OG shares Crypto's fee schedule exactly, it doubles as an OG comparison.
Bottom line, OG suits traders with conviction rather than itchy fingers. Pick your spot, size it properly, and let the market resolve. The people paying the most here are the ones who cannot sit still.
