How to Sign Up

What You'll Need

Signing up for OddsForge takes just a few minutes. Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• A desktop or mobile browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Edge recommended)
• MetaMask or any BSC-compatible wallet extension installed
• A small amount of BNB for gas fees (even 0.01 BNB is enough to get started)

If you don't have MetaMask yet, you can download it for free from metamask.io. MetaMask is available as a browser extension and as a mobile app.

Step 1: Install and Set Up MetaMask

If you already have MetaMask installed and configured, skip to Step 2. For new users:

1. Visit metamask.io and click Download.
2. Install the browser extension for your browser.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to create a new wallet.
4. Write down your Secret Recovery Phrase (12 words) and store it somewhere safe and offline.

Step 2: Add BNB Smart Chain to MetaMask

MetaMask defaults to the Ethereum network. You need to add the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) network to trade on OddsForge. Here's how:

1. Open MetaMask and click the network selector dropdown at the top.
2. Click Add network → Add a network manually.
3. Enter the following details:
   • Network Name: BNB Smart Chain
   • New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/
   • Chain ID: 56
   • Currency Symbol: BNB
   • Block Explorer URL: https://bscscan.com
4. Click Save, then switch to the BNB Smart Chain network.

Step 3: Connect Your Wallet to OddsForge

Once your wallet is set up and on the BNB Smart Chain network:

1. Go to oddsforge.org.
2. Click the Connect Wallet button in the top-right corner of the page.
3. MetaMask will pop up asking you to approve the connection. Review the permissions and click Connect.
4. You're now connected! Your wallet address will appear in the navigation bar.

OddsForge uses your wallet address as your account identifier. There's no separate username/password — your wallet is your login. This means you can never lose access to your account as long as you have your wallet.

Step 4: Set Up Your Profile

After connecting, you can personalize your OddsForge profile:

1. Click on your wallet address or avatar in the navigation bar.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Choose a username — this is how other traders will see you on leaderboards and in market activity.
4. Optionally set a display name and upload a profile avatar.
5. Click Save to confirm your changes.

Your username must be unique and between 3–20 characters. Once set, you can change it later from the Settings page.

What's Next?
