I recently purchased a DGT e-board (Bluetooth). Everyone I play with over-the-board (OTB) has a chess.com account. We’d like our OTB games to be recorded and rated on our accounts the same as if we were playing online. Is it possible using the DGT e-board?
This would be a HUGE game changer for my community of chess players because we are all avid chess.com users and we very much utilize the game report, accuracy, evaluation graph, and analysis functions. It’s frustrating to not have access to these features when we’re playing OTB.

I don't think that games played offline will be rateable on chess.com any time soon.
When you are connected here, chess.com has identified both players through the login system as unique individuals and can monitor your games. If you would be able to enter games afterward to be rated, you would have to be in the position to provide login information for both players.
Should they just accept your word that you beat Hikaru over the board?
The DGT smartboards do allow you to record moves. You can download them here and analyze them.
But unless both players are connected, I don't see how they can be rated.
