How to buy Bitcoin with cash in Los Angeles

Every COINworKs kiosk in the Los Angeles area works the same way. Set up a Bitcoin wallet on your phone at home, and write the recovery phrase down on paper. At the machine, verify your phone number, scan your wallet's receiving QR code, insert cash and confirm. Your Bitcoin goes to the address you control, not to an account we hold, and it usually arrives within minutes.

California's Digital Financial Assets Law sets the same rules for every operator in the state: a $1,000 per-customer daily limit, a cap on charges of the greater of $5 or 15%, and written terms before you confirm, with a receipt that shows the fee and the spread.

Frequently asked questions

How do I buy Bitcoin with cash in Los Angeles?

Pick any of the 7 COINworKs machines listed on this page. Open a Bitcoin wallet on your phone, scan its receiving QR code at the kiosk, verify your phone number, insert cash in bills and confirm. The Bitcoin is sent straight to your wallet, usually within minutes.

What do I need to bring?

Cash in bills (kiosks do not take cards or checks), your phone with a wallet you control, and a government photo ID, which the machine asks for above the smallest purchase tiers.

Is there a daily limit?

Yes. California law caps Bitcoin ATM transactions at $1,000 per customer per day across every operator, so no kiosk in the state can go higher. See our daily limits guide for how it is counted.

How much does it cost?

California caps what an operator can charge at the greater of $5 or 15% of the transaction. The terms are shown on screen before you confirm, and the receipt lists both the fee and the spread against a licensed exchange price.

When are the machines open?

Each machine is available during its location's opening hours, and several are open 24 hours. Every location page lists its hours where we have them, with a map and directions.

Someone told me to send money through a Bitcoin ATM. Is that safe?

If someone you have not met in person asked you to deposit cash at a Bitcoin ATM, stop and call us at (888) 811-2646 first. No government agency, utility, bank or tech support line will ever ask you to pay that way.
