Get in Touch With Us

This page is for readers who want to reach the people behind Best Offshore Betting Sites. Most of the mail we get falls into a few buckets: a new offshore sportsbook has appeared and you want to know whether we've looked at it, a bonus term on one of our pages doesn't match what an operator is showing you, or a withdrawal is sitting unpaid and you want to tell us about it. All of those are worth sending.

Write to us at [email protected]. A person reads every message. We aim to reply within two business days, and we'll tell you honestly when something falls outside what we can help with.

Age and risk statement: this site is for adults 21 and over (18+ only where a sportsbook's own minimum is lower and your circumstances allow it). Betting costs money and most bettors lose over time. If gambling is causing you harm, call 1-800-GAMBLER for free, confidential help, 24/7.

What we can help with — and what we can't

We're an independent comparison publisher, not an operator and not a regulator. That boundary decides what a message to us can realistically achieve.

You're writing about	Can we act on it?
A factual error, stale bonus term or broken link on our pages	Yes — this is our core job. Send the page and the detail.
A new offshore sportsbook you think we should research	Yes — we'll add it to the review queue. No promise of coverage or placement.
A delayed or refused payout at a sportsbook	We'll log it and factor it into future research. We cannot recover your funds or force a payment.
Account closure, locked balance, verification disputes	Only the operator can resolve these. We have no account access.
Bonus credited incorrectly or rollover disputes	Operator support first. Tell us too if the published terms were misleading.
Commercial, affiliate or partnership approaches	Yes — introduce yourself and say plainly what you're proposing.
Whether offshore betting is legal where you live	General information only. We are not attorneys — consult a qualified professional.

How we make money, stated plainly

Some links on this site are commercial. If you open an account through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That arrangement does not buy a position in our rankings, and it does not soften a review. Any operator we cover can appear with its drawbacks listed, and several do. If you believe a piece of our copy reads like it was written for an advertiser rather than a bettor, that is exactly the kind of message we want in the inbox.

Reporting a problem with a new offshore sportsbook

Newly launched offshore betting sites are the hardest to assess, because there's no track record of paying to point at. Complaints from readers are one of the few early signals available. To make a report usable, include:

1. The sportsbook name and roughly when you opened the account.
2. Deposit method and withdrawal method — bank card, bank wire, money transfer, voucher or player transfer, or cryptocurrency.
3. The date you requested the withdrawal and the date it did or didn't arrive.
4. Any KYC or verification documents requested, and when.
5. What support told you, in their words, and through which channel.
6. Whether a bonus was attached and what rollover was still outstanding.

Redact your account number, full card details and government ID before sending. We don't need them, and we'd rather not hold them. We treat reader reports as unresolved claims, not proven fact, until we can verify them against operator terms and a pattern of similar accounts.

The sportsbooks readers ask about most

These write-ups exist because they generate the bulk of our contact mail. Ratings below are our editorial scores, not customer-review averages, and all of these sportsbooks are licensed offshore — commonly in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Panama or Costa Rica — and accept US players without holding any US state license. They sit in a legal grey area, carry no US state player protections, and you should check your own state's laws before depositing.

Lucky Rebel — the newest name in the mailbag

Lucky Rebel sits at the top of our list (editorial rating 10.0) and is the operator readers most often write in about, largely because it's recent enough that people want a second opinion before funding an account. Its headline welcome offer is 125% up to $1,250 plus a $50 FreeBet. Before you claim it, get the material conditions in writing from support: the rollover multiple, which bet types and minimum odds count toward it, the time limit, the minimum qualifying deposit and whether crypto and card deposits are treated the same. Bonus figures mean very little until those numbers are attached.

The limitation is the obvious one for any newer sportsbook: a short public record on payouts. Advertised withdrawal speeds are the operator's claim, not a tested result, and there's no long history of large withdrawals to weigh them against. Treat first withdrawals as a test of the operation — request a modest amount early and see what actually happens before scaling up.

Bovada — the long-track-record comparison point

Bovada (9.9) earns its place here for the opposite reason to Lucky Rebel: readers use it as the yardstick they measure new offshore sportsbooks against. Coverage is broad across NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer, golf and MMA, with same-game parlays and live betting that most of our audience is already familiar with. Its welcome bonus is 50% up to $250 — smaller than several rivals — and, as always, only meaningful alongside the rollover, minimum odds and expiry terms published at signup.

Limitations worth knowing: the headline bonus is modest next to the 125% and 200% offers elsewhere on this list, and sharp bettors regularly report limits being tightened on accounts that win consistently. Nothing about an offshore license changes that — an offshore operator can restrict or close an account with far less recourse for you than a state-regulated one.

BetOnline — market depth and pricing questions

BetOnline (9.5) comes up most in mail about odds and pricing rather than bonuses: reduced juice on selected markets, prop bets, futures and higher betting limits than many competitors will take. Its welcome offer is $250 in free bets, which again depends entirely on the qualifying deposit, rollover and minimum-odds conditions stated at the time you claim it.

The trade-off is complexity. Layered promotions, differing terms by payment method and a racebook alongside the sportsbook mean it's easy to forfeit value by depositing the wrong way or betting below the minimum odds. Read the promo page before the deposit page, not after.

BetNow and the larger percentage offers

BetNow (9.3) draws questions because of a 125% welcome bonus up to $2,500, and it's the clearest illustration of why headline size isn't the story. A large percentage on a large maximum usually means a large rollover figure attached to it. Work out the total turnover required before the bonus is withdrawable; for many bettors it won't clear. The same logic applies to ApuestaHoy's 200% welcome offer and to BetUS's 100% up to $2,000 sports bonus with 25% on casino. Other sportsbooks readers contact us about — Everygame (100% up to $500), Sportsbetting (50% up to $250 in free bets), Xbet (50% up to $200 when using a credit card) and MyBookie (100% up to $1,000 for new players) — all carry their own rollover, eligibility and expiry rules, and none of the figures above mean anything without them.

Banking questions we get asked constantly

Money questions dominate our inbox, so here's the shape of what to ask an operator before you deposit — verify each with the sportsbook itself, since availability for US customers changes without notice:

• Cost to take part — minimum deposit, and whether bonus eligibility requires a higher one.
• Deposit methods — bank card acceptance for US cardholders is inconsistent and declines are common; bank wire and money transfer usually work but are slower; voucher and player transfer are widely offered; cryptocurrency is the most reliably accepted route at most offshore betting sites.
• Withdrawal methods and fees — ask which are free, how many free withdrawals per month, and the fee on each additional one.
• Payout limits and timings — per-transaction and weekly caps, plus the pending-review window before processing starts.
• KYC — offshore sportsbooks often run lighter verification at signup, then request full documents at first withdrawal. That's when delays appear.
• Crypto volatility — a balance held in crypto can lose value between deposit and cash-out regardless of how your bets land. That risk is yours.

Currency conversion matters too. Most of these sportsbooks quote USD accounts, but if you fund via crypto you're effectively converting twice, and spreads on both legs are a real cost.

Beyond the sportsbook: the other products these operators run

Nearly every operator on this page runs more than a sportsbook, and questions about those side products land here as well. Typically that means an online casino with slots and table games, live-dealer rooms, a poker room at some sites, a racebook for horse racing, and in several cases esports and virtuals. BetUS, for example, splits its welcome offer between sports and casino. These sections often carry separate bonus terms, separate rollover rates and separate withdrawal handling from the sportsbook — a casino rollover will almost never contribute to a sports bonus and vice versa. If you're comparing gambling sites outside the US market more broadly, our coverage of casinos operating without GamStop in the UK works through similar questions from a different regulatory angle.

Legal standing, eligibility and what we won't tell you

Every sportsbook on this site is licensed outside the United States and holds no license from any US State Gaming Commission or Gaming Control Board. Some states regulate online sports betting and issue licenses to in-state operators; others permit retail betting only; others prohibit online wagering entirely. An offshore sportsbook accepting your deposit is not the same thing as being authorized to serve you where you live. The practical consequences: no segregated-funds requirement you can rely on, no state dispute-resolution body to appeal to, no guaranteed payout, and often fewer responsible gambling and self-exclusion tools than a regulated operator must provide.

You must be 21 or older to use this site. Where a given sportsbook sets 18 as its minimum, its terms still don't override your state's law. On tax treatment of winnings, and on the legality of placing a bet from your specific state, we give general information only — speak to a qualified attorney or tax professional about your own situation. We won't tell you a sportsbook is safe, we won't promise a withdrawal will arrive, and we don't publish picks as locks. Anyone who does is selling you something.

Corrections, and how our research works

Our pages are researched and verified against operator terms, license registers and reader reports — we don't claim to have deposited, wagered or withdrawn anywhere, and we say so rather than dressing research up as testing. Time-sensitive findings carry a date; this page was last fact-checked on Sep 24, 2026 by Mallory Gaines. Bonus terms and banking availability change faster than any comparison site can update, so treat what's published as a starting point and confirm at the operator.

If you find something wrong, send the page, the specific line and what you believe the correct information is. Corrections that hold up get made and dated.

If betting has stopped being fun

Set a deposit limit before you need one, never bet money earmarked for anything else, and don't try to win back a loss with a bigger stake. Offshore sportsbooks may not offer the deposit caps, cooling-off periods or self-exclusion registers that regulated operators are required to run, so those guardrails are largely on you. Free confidential support is available 24/7 on 1-800-GAMBLER. If you'd like us to point you toward resources, say so in your email and we will, without a sales pitch attached.

Before you write

A message with the sportsbook name, the dates, the payment method and a clear description of what went wrong gets a far more useful reply than a general question. If your issue is with a live account, contact the operator's support first and give them a reasonable window — then tell us how it went. That record is what makes our new sportsbook coverage worth reading. Reach us any time at [email protected]; there's no rush at our end and there shouldn't be one at yours.
