You can place a first sports bet with Bitcoin over Lightning in four steps: sign in, deposit sats, pick a market, confirm your stake. Markets are denominated in sats, deposits credit in about a second, and you do not upload government ID to get an account.

1. Sign in
Sign in with a Lightning wallet signature, or create an account with an email address. Account recovery uses a one-time recovery code shown at signup, so keep it somewhere safe.
2. Deposit sats over Lightning
Open the deposit page, enter an amount in sats and scan the invoice with any Lightning wallet. The balance updates on screen, with no block confirmation to wait for. The minimum deposit is 100 sats, and a single invoice tops out at 1,000,000 sats. The full walkthrough is in the deposit guide.
3. Pick a market
The NFL and NBA league pages list the markets that are open now, and events change through the season. Each market shows its close time, its current price, and its minimum and maximum stake before you confirm. Sports markets normally use fixed odds: the return quoted when your bet is accepted is locked for that bet.
4. Confirm your stake and wait for settlement
Choose a side, enter a stake in sats and confirm. After the official result is reported, winnings or refunds are credited to your balance. Markets involve risk and can settle against your position, so stake only what you are comfortable losing.
Getting sats out
Eligible balances can be withdrawn through an LNURL-withdraw QR code or link. The minimum withdrawal is 100 sats and eligible Lightning withdrawals generally arrive in seconds. A single small deposit is required once before your first withdrawal as an anti-abuse measure, with stated exceptions for some earned income. Bonus balances carry separate playthrough rules. Read the FAQ and the withdrawal guide for your balance type before relying on a payout.
