Get in Touch With Us

This is the place to reach the editorial team behind Best Offshore Betting Sites. Write to us at [email protected] and a person on the team will read it. We cover corrections, payout complaints you want on our radar, questions about how we rank live betting sportsbooks, and commercial enquiries — and we are equally clear below about the things we cannot do, chief among them resolving a dispute between you and an offshore sportsbook.

Age and risk statement: the sportsbooks we cover are for adults 21 and over, or 18+ where an individual operator sets that as its minimum. Betting loses money more often than it makes it, and no page on this site is advice to wager. If gambling has stopped being entertainment, call 1-800-GAMBLER, free and confidential, 24 hours a day.

How to reach us and what to include

Email is the only channel we run. We do not operate a phone line, a live chat window or a support desk, because we are a publisher and not an operator. Sending detail up front is what gets you a useful reply rather than a request for more information:

• The sportsbook name — the exact brand, since several offshore operators share ownership groups and similar names.
• The page you were reading — a URL, so we can check the precise sentence rather than guess.
• Dates — when a bonus term changed, when a withdrawal was requested, when in-play markets froze.
• Your state — availability, payment options and the legal picture vary enormously across the US.
• Evidence where you have it — screenshots of terms pages, cashier screens or ticket confirmations.

Never send us account passwords, full card numbers, seed phrases, wallet private keys or copies of ID documents. We have no need for any of it, and no legitimate publisher or operator will ask you for a private key.

Response windows are targets, not promises. Holidays and heavy sports calendars stretch them.

What we cannot do for you

This matters more on an offshore betting site than almost anywhere else, so we will be blunt about the limits.

• We cannot release your funds. We hold no accounts, no balances and no influence over any operator's cashier.
• We cannot overturn a voided bet or a closed account. Only the sportsbook can, through its own internal process.
• We cannot escalate to a US regulator on your behalf. Offshore sportsbooks are licensed outside the United States and no state gaming commission or gaming control board oversees them for you. There is no US ombudsman to appeal to, and no segregated-funds rule protecting your balance.
• We cannot give legal or tax advice. Gambling winnings are generally reportable to the IRS and state rules differ; talk to a qualified tax professional or attorney about your own position.
• We cannot tell you a wager will win. No tip, model or live-betting angle is a lock, and anyone presenting one as such is selling you something.

Why disputes with offshore sportsbooks land differently

Most sportsbooks featured on this site hold licenses issued in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Panama or Costa Rica. Those licenses are real, but they are not US authorizations. Accepting American customers is not the same thing as being licensed to serve a particular state. For a bettor, the practical consequences are these: your recourse in a dispute is the operator's own complaints process, the terms you agreed to at signup govern almost everything, and the risk that a payout is delayed or refused sits with you.

Where sports betting is licensed by your own state gaming commission, a regulated operator answers to that body, and complaint routes, self-exclusion registers and funds-protection rules apply. Offshore sites often carry lighter responsible gambling tooling — limited deposit caps, weaker self-exclusion, no cross-operator exclusion list. Offshore betting in the US sits in a legal grey area that varies state to state; check your own state's law before you deposit, and treat any claim that it is plainly legal with suspicion.

Reports from readers are still worth sending. A pattern of payout complaints against one brand is exactly the kind of evidence that moves a ranking, and we record what we receive even though we cannot litigate it for you.

How our commercial relationships work

Best Offshore Betting Sites earns commission when a reader opens an account through some of the links on this site. That funds the research. It does not buy a position in a ranking, a rating, or a favorable line in a review — and if you believe a review reads as though it did, that is a fair thing to email us about. Negative findings stay published on brands we have a commercial relationship with.

We have no testing lab and we do not claim one. Our assessments come from researching published terms, license registers, operator help pages, odds screens and reader correspondence, verified as of 2026 and dated where the detail is time-sensitive. Ratings on this site are editorial scores from our own criteria, not aggregated customer reviews. Advertised payout speeds are what operators advertise, not timings we have clocked ourselves.

Criteria behind the scores

1. In-play pricing and how much the live margin widens against the pre-game number.
2. Depth of live markets — point spread, moneyline, totals, props, same-game parlays and futures still available after kickoff.
3. Sport coverage across NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer, golf, MMA and horse racing through an attached racebook.
4. Bet acceptance speed and how often live tickets are held or rejected, plus stated betting limits.
5. Banking: crypto, bank card deposits, bank wire, money transfer and player-to-player voucher transfers, with fees, limits and KYC demands.
6. Payout record and reputation over time, weighted by reader reports.
7. Support quality and mobile experience, whether through an app or a mobile browser.

Questions readers ask about the sportsbooks we rank

A fair share of our inbox is people asking why a particular operator sits where it does on our live betting lists. Short answers on the three highest-ranked, with the limitation attached to each, since every one of them has one.

Lucky Rebel — rated 10.0

It tops our live betting lists because of how much stays open in-play across the major US leagues and soccer, and because crypto handling is central rather than bolted on. The advertised welcome offer is 125% up to $1,250 plus a 50 FreeBet; like every offshore sign-up bonus it carries rollover requirements, minimum odds, a time limit and eligibility rules, and those terms are published by the operator and change without notice — read them on the cashier page before depositing, not after. Limitation: it is a newer name with a shorter public track record of paying than the long-established sportsbooks below it, and track record is the single hardest thing for a bettor to replace.

Bovada — rated 9.7

Long-running, widely used by American bettors, and the live interface is one of the more forgiving on a phone browser. Its same-game parlay and prop coverage on NFL and NBA is the reason most readers name it. Advertised welcome bonus is 50% up to $250, with rollover, qualifying-odds and expiry conditions set by the operator. Limitation: in-play pricing is not the sharpest on this list, limits can be modest for bigger stakes players, and the sportsbook is unavailable in some states.

BetOnline — rated 9.7

It earns its place on reduced juice on core markets and on breadth — a deep racebook alongside the sportsbook, plus MMA and golf coverage that runs beyond the headline events. Advertised welcome offer is $250 in free bets, subject to rollover, minimum odds and expiry terms published by the operator. Limitation: the live betting interface is busier and less intuitive than Bovada's, and card deposits can decline unpredictably, which pushes many bettors toward crypto.

The rest of our ranked list — BetNow, Everygame, BetUS, Sportsbetting, Xbet, MyBookie and ApuestaHoy — appears with full offer terms on the review pages. Bonus figures on this site are always shown with their conditions; if you ever find one without, tell us and we will fix it.

Money questions we get asked before signup

Participation costs whatever you deposit, and nothing more in account fees at most offshore operators — but the routes in and out differ sharply:

• Crypto — usually the fastest withdrawals and the lowest fees, often with lighter verification. The catch is price volatility: the dollar value of a balance can fall between deposit and cashout, and a network fee applies regardless.
• Bank cards — convenient for deposits, frequently declined by US issuers, and rarely usable for withdrawals.
• Bank wire — higher limits, slower, and typically the most expensive option in fixed fees.
• Money transfer and voucher or player transfer — offered by several operators as a workaround, with their own caps and charges.

Withdrawal limits, minimum cashout amounts, one-free-withdrawal-per-month rules and KYC checks on larger sums are set per operator and change. Verify current terms on the cashier page rather than trusting any comparison, including ours.

Beyond the sportsbook

Nearly every operator we list runs more than one product behind the same login — an online casino with slots and live-dealer tables, a poker room in some cases, and a racebook for horse racing with its own rebate structure. Bonuses are usually segregated by product, and casino rollover is typically far steeper than sports rollover. Readers interested in comparable non-US-facing operators elsewhere can look at our coverage of casinos outside the UK's self-exclusion scheme, though that market and its rules are entirely separate from US offshore betting.

If the message is about gambling harm

Say so in the subject line and we will reply quickly with support resources rather than a standard answer. In the United States, the National Problem Gambling Helpline is 1-800-GAMBLER — free, confidential and available around the clock, with text and chat options. Offshore operators frequently lack the deposit limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion registers that state-licensed sportsbooks are required to provide, so the tools you might expect are often not there. If betting has become a way to recover losses or escape stress, stop and reach out before your next deposit.

Before you hit send

A correction with a source attached gets fixed faster than one without. A payout report with dates and amounts is worth more to future readers than a general complaint. And if your question is really about whether a particular sportsbook will pay you, the honest answer we would give by email is the same one we give here: no offshore operator is completely safe, no payout is guaranteed, and nothing on this site changes that. Write to [email protected] whenever you are ready — there is no queue to jump.
