Contact Us
You can reach the editorial team at [email protected]. That address goes to the people who research and write the sportsbook reviews on Offshore Betting Sites — not to any betting operator. We read everything, and we aim to reply to genuine reader questions within a few working days.
Before you write, it's worth knowing what we are and what we aren't. We're an independent comparison site covering offshore sportsbooks that accept US players. We don't hold accounts on your behalf, we can't move money, and we can't overturn a sportsbook's decision. What we can do is point you to the right place, and take your experience into account when we next update a review.
What to email us about
- Corrections. If a bonus figure, rollover term, banking method or payout detail on this site is out of date or wrong, tell us which page and what you saw. Screenshots help. Offshore terms change without notice, so reader corrections are one of the faster ways we catch drift.
- Your own experience with a sportsbook. Good or bad — a payout that landed in hours, a withdrawal that stalled for weeks, a bonus that voided for a reason you weren't told about. Named, dated accounts are far more useful to us than general impressions.
- Suggestions for coverage. A new offshore sportsbook you think we should look at, a market or sport we're underweighting, or a question our pages don't answer.
- Commercial and media enquiries. Advertising, affiliate, partnership or press questions. Use the same address and say so in the subject line.
- Privacy requests. Questions about data we hold, handled under our terms and conditions.
What we can't do for you
This is the part that saves the most time. We are not connected to any sportsbook's customer service, and we have no leverage over one.
- We can't release a pending withdrawal, unlock an account, reverse a graded bet or resolve a KYC hold.
- We can't credit a bonus, extend an expired offer or waive a rollover requirement.
- We can't give legal or tax advice. Betting winnings and the legality of offshore wagering in your state are matters for a qualified attorney or tax professional in your jurisdiction.
- We don't sell picks, and we don't supply tips as "locks." Nobody can guarantee a betting outcome, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
Where a real dispute should go first
If money is involved, go to the sportsbook before you come to us — and understand the limits of what follows. Offshore sportsbooks are licensed outside the United States (commonly Curaçao, Panama or Costa Rica) and sit in a legal grey area for US bettors. There is no US state regulator behind them, no state-mandated segregated player funds, and no state dispute-resolution body to appeal to. A state gaming commission in a regulated market can order an operator to pay; none of that machinery exists here.
- Open a ticket with the sportsbook's own support — live chat first, then email so you have a written trail. Note the ticket number and the date.
- Ask specifically which term they are relying on, and request it in writing.
- Complete verification fully. Most stalled payouts we hear about trace back to incomplete KYC documents rather than a refusal to pay.
- If the license is a Curaçao one, check the operator's footer for its license details and any listed complaints channel. Whether that channel produces a result varies, and we won't pretend otherwise.
- Then tell us. We can't force a resolution, but a pattern of similar reports changes how we rate a sportsbook.
How our reviews are put together
Readers often email to ask whether the rankings are bought. They aren't. Offshore Betting Sites carries affiliate links, and the publisher may earn a commission when a reader opens an account through one — that funds the research. Commission does not buy a position, and no operator gets sign-off on what we write. Where we're uncertain about something, we say we're uncertain rather than filling the gap.
Our assessments are desk research, not play-testing. We read the published terms, track bonus conditions, compare posted odds and market coverage across the major US sports, and weigh reported payout behavior. We do not claim to have deposited, wagered or withdrawn at these sites. Editorial ratings are our own judgment, not customer-review scores. Findings are current as of Sep 24, 2026; offshore terms move quickly, so verify anything material on the operator's own site before you act on it.
The criteria we weigh, in rough order of how much they move a rating:
- Track record of paying — length of operating history and the consistency of reported payouts.
- Payout speed and reliability — crypto payout speed versus bank wire and money transfer, plus payout limits and withdrawal fees.
- Odds and pricing — moneyline, point spread and totals pricing, and whether reduced juice is real or occasional.
- Market coverage — NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer, golf, MMA, horse racing via a racebook, plus futures, parlays, same-game parlays (SGP), prop bets and live / in-play betting.
- Banking — cryptocurrency betting support, bank card deposits, bank wire, voucher and player transfer options.
- Bonuses — welcome bonuses, sign-up bonuses and reload bonuses, always read against rollover and wagering requirements.
- Higher betting limits, site security, customer support quality, and the mobile experience — whether that's a betting app or a mobile browser build.
Reader questions about specific sportsbooks
Most of the mail we get names one of the sportsbooks we cover. Three come up more than the rest, so here's the short version of where each sits and what we'd flag.
Lucky Rebel
Our highest-rated entry at 10.0, and the one newer readers ask about most because it's less familiar than the long-established names. The advertised welcome offer is 125% up to $1,250 plus a 50 FreeBet. As with every offshore bonus, treat the headline number as the ceiling, not the expectation: the amount you actually clear depends on the rollover multiple, minimum odds, qualifying markets and the time limit attached, and those terms are published on the operator's own page. Read them before you deposit. The limitation is the obvious one — a shorter public operating history than the veteran sportsbooks below means there's less of a payout record to judge it on, and for a lot of bettors that history is the single most important variable.
Bovada
Rated 9.9, and the name most US bettors recognize. It's on this page because it's the one readers most often compare everything else against, particularly on breadth of US sports coverage and a mobile browser experience that doesn't demand an app install. The welcome bonus runs at 50% up to $250, subject to rollover, minimum odds and an expiry window set out in the operator's terms. Two limitations worth knowing: the headline bonus is modest next to the larger percentage offers elsewhere on this list, and Bovada does not accept customers from every US state — check the eligibility terms for your own location before you get as far as depositing.
BetOnline
Rated 9.7, and the one we point value-focused readers toward when the question is about market depth and pricing rather than bonus size. Its advertised welcome offer is $250 in Free Bets, again carrying wagering conditions, minimum-odds rules and a time limit that you should read in full. The drawback: free-bet structures typically return winnings only, not the stake, which makes the headline figure worth less than a matched-deposit bonus of the same number to some bettors. Weigh the two structures against how you actually bet.
The rest of the list at a glance

| Bovada | 9.9 | 50% up to $250 |
| BetOnline | 9.7 | $250 in Free Bets |

Every offer above is the operator's advertised figure and every one carries rollover or wagering requirements, minimum odds, qualifying-deposit rules, eligibility restrictions and an expiry date. We don't publish a bonus number without saying that, and you shouldn't accept one without reading the terms it's attached to.
Money questions we get asked
Costs and banking generate more mail than anything except payouts, so briefly: reading this site costs nothing, and the money at risk is whatever you deposit and stake with a sportsbook. Accounts are typically denominated in USD, though if you fund with crypto you're exposed to price movement between deposit, wager and withdrawal — that volatility can cut either way and is a real risk, not a footnote.
The methods commonly available to US customers at offshore sportsbooks are cryptocurrency, bank card deposits, bank wire, money transfer services, and vouchers or player transfers. Crypto is usually the fastest route out and often the cheapest; wires and card-linked methods take longer and more often carry fees. Minimums, maximum payout limits per transaction, fee schedules and processing times differ by operator and change — verify the current figures on the sportsbook's banking page rather than relying on a number you read anywhere, including here. Expect KYC verification before a first withdrawal even where deposits were light-touch.
Beyond the sportsbook
Most operators on this list run more than a sportsbook. The same account usually opens onto a casino — slots, table games and live-dealer rooms — and often a racebook for horse racing, plus poker at some. Those sections are separate products with their own house edges, their own bonus terms and, importantly, their own rollover contributions: casino play frequently counts differently toward a sports bonus, or not at all. BetUS is the clearest example on this list, advertising a split offer across sports and casino. If you're contacting us about a bonus that didn't clear, tell us which product you were playing — it's usually the answer. For casino-side coverage, see our non-GamStop casino reviews.
Age, eligibility and staying in control
You must be at least 21 to use this site, and 18 or 21 at the sportsbook depending on its own minimum. Offshore sportsbooks are licensed abroad and are not authorized or regulated by any US state gaming commission or board. Accepting US customers is not the same as being licensed to serve them. Some states regulate online sports betting; others restrict or prohibit it; the position differs state by state and changes. Check your own state's law, and treat anything here — including anything about taxes on winnings — as general information rather than advice. Consult a qualified professional for your situation.
Betting costs money over time. It is not income, and no system, tip or bonus changes that. Offshore operators may not offer the deposit limits, cool-off periods or self-exclusion tools you'd find at a state-regulated sportsbook, so the controls often have to be your own. If gambling is causing you or someone close to you problems, call 1-800-GAMBLER for confidential support, and read our guidance on recognizing and managing gambling harm. Never bet money you can't afford to lose, and never bet to recover a loss.
Reaching the right person
One address covers everything: [email protected]. A useful subject line — "correction: Bovada banking page," "payout delay report: BetOnline," "advertising" — gets your message to the right desk faster. Include the page URL if you're flagging something on the site, and dates and amounts if you're reporting an experience with a sportsbook. You can also read more about who writes these reviews and how the site is run on our about page.
