Contact Us
This is the page to use if you want to reach the editorial team behind Best Offshore Sportsbooks — to report a slow payout, flag a bonus term we've described wrong, ask how a ranking was reached, or suggest an offshore sportsbook we haven't covered. We read everything that comes in. We can't resolve a dispute with a sportsbook on your behalf, and it's worth being clear about that up front.
How to reach the editorial team
Use the contact form on this page and pick the reason that fits best. The more specific you are, the faster we can do something useful with it.
- Corrections and fact checks — tell us the page, the sentence and what you believe the correct information is. Screenshots of terms pages help. Our published information carries a fact-check date (currently Sep 24, 2026), and anything you send that contradicts it gets re-verified against the operator's own terms.
- Payout reports — if an offshore sportsbook has delayed, reduced or refused a withdrawal, tell us the site, the method, the amount range, the date you requested it and what the sportsbook told you. Patterns across multiple readers are the most valuable signal we get.
- Questions about a review — odds pricing, rollover math, crypto payout timing, KYC requests, betting limits. We answer what we can point to evidence for and say so when something is unresolved.
- Site suggestions — new offshore sportsbooks or betting apps you think deserve a look.
- Business and advertising — partnership questions go to the same inbox and are handled separately from editorial.
Expect a reply within a few business days. Volume spikes around the NFL season opener and March, so a message sent then may sit longer.
What we can't do for you
We are an independent comparison publisher, not an operator and not a regulator. That limits us in ways that matter:
- We cannot access, credit, unlock or close your account at any sportsbook.
- We cannot force a payout or arbitrate a dispute. Offshore sportsbooks are licensed outside the United States — commonly in Curaçao, Panama or Costa Rica — and sit in a legal grey area for US bettors. No US state gaming commission oversees them, so there is no state complaints process, no segregated-funds requirement and no guaranteed payout to fall back on. Your first route is the sportsbook's own support, in writing, keeping every reply.
- We do not sell picks and we do not give out "locks." Any betting tip we publish is opinion with risk attached, never a guaranteed outcome.
- We can't give you legal or tax advice. Sports betting law is decided state by state, and US tax treatment of gambling winnings is a matter for a qualified professional.
If you write to us about a stalled withdrawal, we'll tell you what we know about that operator's track record of paying and what documentation usually moves a case forward. That's the honest limit of our help.
Before you write: the questions we get most
A lot of incoming mail is answered by the reviews themselves. Here's the short version of the recurring three.
Why one sportsbook outranks another
Our rankings weigh odds pricing (including reduced juice on point spread and totals markets), market coverage across NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer, golf, MMA and horse racing, payout speed and reliability, banking range, bonus terms read in full, and reputation over time. Editorial ratings are our own assessment, not customer-review scores, and advertised payout windows are the operator's claims rather than results we measured.
Whether commission changes the order
Best Offshore Sportsbooks earns affiliate commission when a reader signs up through a link. It does not buy position. An operator that pays us nothing can outrank one that does, and we publish limitations on every site we recommend — including the top-rated one.
How the offers on our pages are stated
We list the headline figure alongside its material conditions, because a bonus number on its own tells you nothing. Rollover, minimum odds, time limits and deposit-method eligibility are set by each operator and change without notice — always read the current terms on the sportsbook's own promotions page before depositing.
Three operators readers ask about most
These come up constantly in our inbox, so here's a direct note on each. Full reviews go deeper.
Lucky Rebel
Our highest editorial rating (10.0) and the name generating the most "is this legit?" questions, largely because it's newer than the established offshore sportsbooks around it. Its advertised welcome offer is 125% up to $1,250 plus a 50 FreeBet, and like every offshore sign-up bonus it carries rollover requirements, minimum-odds rules, a claim window and method restrictions — check those on site, since a 125% match on a large deposit means a large amount to turn over before anything becomes withdrawable. The limitation is straightforward: a shorter public track record of paying than the veterans. Reputation offshore is built over years of clearing withdrawals, and that history is still being written.
Bovada
Rated 9.8 and the most familiar name to American bettors, with deep NFL and NBA coverage, same-game parlays, props and live betting, plus a racebook and casino alongside the sportsbook. The advertised welcome bonus is 50% up to $250, with rollover and eligibility terms attached — a smaller headline number than several rivals, which some readers read as conservative and others as more realistic to clear. The real limitation: Bovada does not accept players from every US state, and residents of some states find themselves blocked at signup. Check acceptance before you plan around it.
BetOnline
Rated 9.5, and the one we hear about from bettors who care about pricing and limits rather than promotions — reduced juice on selected markets, broad futures and prop coverage, and higher limits than many offshore competitors offer. The advertised welcome offer is $250 in free bets, subject to rollover, qualifying-odds and time conditions stated in its terms. The limitation is interface-related more than anything: the site carries a lot of markets and the experience on mobile browser can feel dense next to cleaner betting apps.
Where each sportsbook's headline offer stands
Advertised welcome offers only, as published by each operator. Every one is conditional: rollover, minimum odds, time limits and payment-method eligibility apply, and the operator's current terms override anything summarized here.

Money questions we can answer generally
Browsing and comparing on this site costs nothing. The money starts at the sportsbook, and the mechanics are consistent enough to summarize.
- Getting money in — offshore sportsbooks typically accept cryptocurrency, bank card deposits (approval rates vary and declines by US issuers are common), bank wire, money transfer services and player-to-player voucher transfers. Minimums differ by method, and card deposits sometimes carry a processing fee where crypto does not.
- Getting money out — crypto withdrawals are usually the fastest route advertised, often same-day to a couple of days once approved; wire and check by courier run considerably longer and more often carry a fee. Payout limits per request and per week are set by each operator.
- Fees and first-withdrawal rules — many offshore sportsbooks advertise one free withdrawal per period and charge for extras. Check the cashier page rather than the marketing page.
- Verification — KYC offshore is often lighter than at regulated US operators, but it is not absent. Expect ID and address requests, usually triggered by a withdrawal. Documents requested at that stage are the single most common cause of delay.
- Crypto volatility — if you hold a balance in a volatile coin, its dollar value can move against you between deposit and withdrawal. That risk is yours, not the sportsbook's.
- Bonus math — a 100% match on $500 gives you $500 in bonus funds, but a 10x rollover on deposit plus bonus means $10,000 in qualifying wagers before withdrawal. Run that number before you accept any offer.
What these sites actually offer
If your message is "which one has what," the categories break down like this. Core American markets — NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB — with point spread, moneyline and totals on every game, plus futures priced well ahead of the season. Parlays and same-game parlays where supported. Player and game prop bets, which is where offshore coverage often runs deeper than restricted regulated markets. Live and in-play betting during games. International sports: soccer across major leagues, golf, MMA, tennis and motorsport. And horse racing through attached racebooks, with track coverage and wagering types varying by operator.
The other products under the same roof
Almost every sportsbook here runs adjacent product lines from the same account and wallet: an online casino with slots, table games and live-dealer rooms; a poker room at some operators; a racebook for horse racing; and in a few cases esports and virtual sports sections. These matter for your questions because bonus terms usually differ between them — BetUS, for instance, advertises separate sports and casino percentages — and casino play frequently contributes at a different rate, or not at all, toward sports bonus rollover. If you're writing to ask why a bonus didn't clear, that's the first thing to check. For casino-specific coverage, our reviews of casinos outside the UK self-exclusion scheme sit separately from our sportsbook work.
Eligibility, legal standing and the age rule
You must be 21 or older to use this site and the sportsbooks listed on it, unless a specific operator sets its minimum at 18 — in which case that minimum applies. We don't publish content aimed at anyone younger.
The sportsbooks we review are licensed offshore, not by any US state gaming commission or board. Accepting US customers is not the same as being authorized to serve them. Online sports betting in the US is regulated state by state: some states run fully licensed online markets with state-supervised operators, complaint channels and player-protection rules; others allow retail betting only; others prohibit online betting entirely. Offshore sportsbooks operate outside all of that framework, which is why we describe their position for US bettors as a legal grey area rather than legal. Check your own state's current law before you deposit, and treat anything we publish on legal or tax questions as general information — consult a qualified attorney or tax professional for your situation.
Practically, no US state protections apply to an offshore account. Funds are not required to be segregated, there is no state-run dispute resolution, and no authority guarantees a payout. Losing money is the normal outcome of betting, and offshore there is the additional risk that a withdrawal is delayed, reduced or refused.
If gambling has stopped being fun
Contact us about a review by all means, but if what's really going on is that betting has gotten out of hand, call 1-800-GAMBLER. It's free, confidential and available 24/7. Offshore sportsbooks often lack the deposit limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion tools that regulated US operators are required to provide, so don't assume the controls you'd expect are there. Never bet money you can't afford to lose, never bet to recover losses, and never treat betting as income. Our responsible gambling resources cover the practical tools and support options in more detail.
How we handle what you send
- Your message is read by an editor, not routed to an operator.
- Corrections and payout reports are checked against the operator's published terms and against other reports we've received.
- Where something is confirmed, the page is updated and the fact-check date moves.
- Where a claim can't be verified, we say it's unresolved rather than publishing it as fact.
- We don't share your personal details with the sportsbooks you write to us about.
More on who we are and how we work is on our about page, and the rules covering use of this site are in the terms and conditions. If you're unsure whether your question is one for us or for the sportsbook's own support desk, send it anyway — we'd rather point you in the right direction than leave you guessing.
