Contact Us

You can reach the editorial team at Top Offshore Betting Sites by email at [email protected]. We read everything that comes in, and we aim to reply to genuine reader questions within a couple of business days. This page explains what we can help with, what we can't, and where to go instead when your issue is with a sportsbook rather than with us.

One thing to be clear about before you write: we are an independent comparison and review site. We are not a sportsbook, we do not hold accounts or funds, and we cannot process a deposit, release a withdrawal, unlock a bonus or close an account for you. If your question is about money sitting with an operator, the operator's own support desk is the first and most important stop.

How our commercial relationships work

Some links on this site are commercial. If you open an account with a sportsbook we list, we may earn a commission. That arrangement does not buy a position in our rankings and it does not soften a review. If you think a page reads like an advert rather than an assessment, tell us — that's exactly the sort of message we want.

Offshore sportsbooks are licensed outside the United States, typically in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Panama or Costa Rica. They accept US players, but they sit in a legal grey area for American bettors and carry no US state regulation and no US player protections. That context matters for contact more than it might on other sites, and we come back to it below.

Questions about specific sportsbooks we cover

Readers write to us most often about the operators at the top of our list. Here's what we can usefully tell you about the three highest-ranked, including where each one has limits — because none of them is without them.

Lucky Rebel (editorial rating 10.0)

Lucky Rebel sits at the top of our rankings on the strength of its pricing and market depth across the US leagues — the point spread, moneyline and totals markets that most readers actually bet, plus futures and same-game parlays. Its advertised welcome offer is 125% up to $1,250 plus a 50 FreeBet. As with any offshore sign-up bonus, treat the headline number as the ceiling, not the expectation: rollover (wagering) requirements, minimum odds on qualifying bets, a time limit on clearing, and exclusions on certain markets and payment methods all apply, and the operator's current terms page is the only authoritative source for those figures. Read them before you deposit.

Limitation: it is a newer name than several of its competitors, so it has a shorter public track record of paying out under stress than the long-established sportsbooks. A high editorial rating is our judgment on odds, coverage and banking — it is not a guarantee of payment, and it is not a customer-review score.

Bovada (editorial rating 9.9)

Bovada earns its place mainly on familiarity and breadth: a long-running presence with US bettors, solid NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB coverage, live in-play betting, prop bets and a racebook alongside the sportsbook. The welcome bonus is advertised at 50% up to $250, again subject to rollover, minimum-odds and expiry conditions that vary by payment method — crypto deposits and card deposits often carry different terms.

Limitation: the headline bonus is modest next to what other sportsbooks on this page advertise, and Bovada has historically not accepted players from every US state. Check availability from your own location before you invest time in signing up.

BetOnline (editorial rating 9.8)

BetOnline is the one readers mention most for higher betting limits and reduced juice on selected markets, which is why value-focused bettors and anyone who has been limited by a regulated US sportsbook tend to end up looking at it. Its advertised welcome offer is $250 in free bets, with the usual conditions: qualifying deposit, wagering requirement, minimum odds and a window in which to use them.

Limitation: the interface carries a lot of legacy clutter compared with newer apps, and free-bet stakes are typically not returned with winnings. Read the promotion terms rather than the banner.

The rest of the list at a glance

• BetNow (9.4) — advertised 125% up to $2,500; a large headline figure that comes with correspondingly heavy rollover.
• Everygame (9.4) — advertised 100% up to $500; long-standing operator, more conservative bonus.
• BetUS (9.3) — advertised 100% up to $2,000 on sports plus 25% on casino; two sets of terms to read, not one.
• Sportsbetting (9.0) — advertised 50% up to $250 in free bets.
• Xbet (9.0) — advertised 50% up to $200 when using a credit card; the payment-method condition is part of the offer.
• MyBookie (8.8) — advertised 100% up to $1,000 for new players.
• ApuestaHoy (8.6) — advertised 200% welcome offer; the highest percentage here, and the one where checking the cap and rollover matters most.

Every one of these figures is operator advertising, accurate to our fact-check date of Sep 25, 2026. Promotions change without notice. We can't confirm a live bonus for you by email — the sportsbook's own terms page can.

Money questions we get asked, and what we can actually say

Costs and cashflow generate more reader mail than anything else. Some general guidance, none of it a substitute for the operator's current banking page:

• Deposits. Offshore sportsbooks commonly accept cryptocurrency, bank cards, bank wire, money transfer and player-to-player voucher transfers. Availability varies by operator and sometimes by state, and card deposits to offshore sites are frequently declined by US issuers. Verify the method works for your account before you plan around it.
• Withdrawals. Crypto payouts are usually the fastest route and often the cheapest; wires and checks are slower and more likely to carry a fee. Minimum and maximum payout limits, and the number of free withdrawals per month, differ by operator.
• Fees and conversion. Accounts are generally denominated in USD, but crypto deposits convert at the operator's rate, and the value of a crypto balance can move against you between deposit and withdrawal. That volatility is a real cost, not a technicality.
• Verification. KYC at offshore sportsbooks is often lighter at sign-up and stricter at first withdrawal. Expect to supply ID and proof of address at the point you try to cash out, and expect that to add days.
• Delays and refusals. The honest answer we give every reader who writes about a stuck payout: an offshore sportsbook can delay or refuse payment, and there is no US regulator to compel it. We will log your report and factor it into our reviews. We cannot recover your funds.
• Tax. Gambling winnings may be reportable in the US. That's general information, not advice — consult a qualified tax professional about your own situation.

What these sportsbooks offer beyond the headline markets

Readers often contact us assuming a sportsbook is sports only. Most operators on our list run several product lines from one wallet:

• Sportsbook. NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer, golf and MMA, across point spread, moneyline, totals, futures, parlays, same-game parlays, prop bets and live in-play markets.
• Racebook. Horse racing wagering, usually priced and settled differently from the sportsbook, with its own rebate structures and its own rules on bonus eligibility.
• Casino. Slots, table games and live-dealer rooms. Casino play very often does not count toward a sports bonus rollover — this is the single most common misunderstanding in our inbox. If you are curious about the casino side generally, our casino coverage explains how those offers differ.
• Poker. Some of these operators run poker rooms alongside the sportsbook, again with separate promotions and terms.

Legal standing, eligibility and age

Offshore sportsbooks are licensed in their home jurisdictions, not by any US state gaming commission or board. Accepting US customers is not the same as being authorized to serve them. Some states run fully regulated online sports betting through their own commissions, with segregated player funds and formal dispute resolution; others restrict or prohibit online betting entirely. None of those state protections extend to an offshore operator. If something goes wrong, there is no state regulator to appeal to.

Check the current law in your own state before you bet, and treat anything you read here — including on legal and tax points — as general information rather than definitive advice. Speak to a qualified professional about your circumstances.

You must be at least 21 to use this site and to bet with the operators we cover, or 18 where an individual sportsbook sets that minimum and the law where you live allows it. We do not knowingly provide information to anyone under those ages.

Betting should stay affordable

Never bet money you can't afford to lose, and don't bet to recover losses or to take your mind off something else. Offshore sportsbooks frequently lack the deposit limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion tools that regulated US operators are required to provide, so the guardrails are largely yours to set. If gambling has stopped feeling like entertainment, call 1-800-GAMBLER — free, confidential and available 24 hours a day — or read our guidance on staying in control.

Writing to us so we can help

1. Email [email protected] with a clear subject line — "correction", "reader report" or "question" is enough.
2. Name the sportsbook and the page on our site, if your message relates to one.
3. Include dates and amounts where they matter to a payout report, but never send passwords, full card numbers or copies of your ID. We don't need them and won't ask.
4. Tell us your state if the question is about availability — it changes the answer more often than anything else.

Reader corrections have changed our rankings before, and they will again. If you've found something on Top Offshore Betting Sites that's out of date, unclear or wrong, that email is the most useful thing you can send us.
