A major global crypto exchange with a US prediction-market product
Visit Crypto.com →Crypto.com welcome bonus in United States
Context for United States: The United States regulates online gambling state by state, not nationally, so an offer on this page is only claimable if you are physically located in a state where that operator holds a licence - most US states license no online casino or poker at all. Check the state, not the country. The Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement lets state-regulated poker operators pool players across state lines; as of April 2026 its members are Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Nevada also requires an online operator to partner with an in-state casino, keeping its poker market small. SWEEPSTAKES CASINOS ARE A SEPARATE, RAPIDLY CLOSING CATEGORY: dual-currency sites (Gold Coins to play, Sweeps Coins redeemable for cash) are being banned outright, not regulated, in a growing list of states including Montana, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, California, Nevada, Maine, Indiana and Oklahoma. Sources disagree on the exact total, so check your own state rather than any single figure - and note these laws can reach payment processors and affiliates too, not just the operator.

Pros
- Backed by Crypto.com, a major, well-known global exchange with substantial operating history
- Broad 49-state US availability for the prediction-market product
Cons
- Bonus requires staking 5,000+ CRO — a real barrier versus cash-deposit offers
- Sports predictions specifically restricted in several US states
- Prediction-market format is distinct from traditional sports betting
- Sports prediction markets are contested: state regulators have issued cease-and-desists and courts have split on whether the CFTC or state gambling law governs
- Connecticut ordered Kalshi, Polymarket and Crypto.com to cease on 3 December 2025; Illinois has issued letters to more than a dozen operators since April 2025
Our verdict
Crypto.com offers a prediction-market product in the US, distinct from traditional sports betting, available in 49 states with sports predictions restricted in several. New users can earn up to $50 in bonuses through volume-based mystery boxes, though this requires staking 5,000 or more CRO tokens — a real barrier to entry compared to most cash-deposit welcome offers elsewhere in this dataset. We did not research this brand's regulatory history in this pass, so the absence of any warning below reflects a gap in our work rather than a clean record. Crypto.com's status as a major, well-known global exchange is a genuine trust positive.
How we rated it
Prediction market (36%)6.8
A distinct prediction-market product from a major, well-known global crypto exchange, available in 49 US states with sports restricted in several.
Trust & licensing (27%)6.5
A real positive: Crypto.com is a major, well-known global exchange with substantial operating history.

A product lawful where you live today may not be next year, and vice versa.
Customer support (18%)6.5
No major documented complaint pattern found, consistent with a large established platform.
Bonuses & value (18%)5.5
Up to $50 in bonuses via volume-based mystery boxes, but requires staking 5,000+ CRO — a real barrier to entry versus most cash-deposit welcome offers.

Are sports prediction markets legal in the US?
Nobody can honestly tell you yes or no right now, and that is the point. State regulators have acted repeatedly - Nevada, New Jersey and Maryland sent cease-and-desist letters to Kalshi, Illinois has issued them to more than a dozen operators since April 2025, and Connecticut ordered Kalshi, Polymarket and Crypto.com to cease on 3 December 2025. The courts have gone both ways: a Massachusetts court held in January 2026 that sports event contracts ARE subject to state gaming laws and a New York federal judge refused to block state enforcement, while in April 2026 a divided Third Circuit panel held the CFTC has exclusive jurisdiction. The CFTC has since sued several states asserting that authority. Treat 'this is not gambling' as an argument being litigated, not a fact.
