About Us

Offshore Sportsbooks was built for one reason: US bettors searching for offshore sportsbooks deserve a source that explains how these sites actually work, not one that pretends they carry the same protections as a state-regulated book. We compare offshore sportsbooks on odds, market coverage, bonus terms, payout speed, and banking options, and we're upfront about what "offshore" means for anyone betting from the US.

What We Do and Why It's Different from a Regulated US Sportsbook List

Every operator we cover is licensed outside the United States — typically in jurisdictions like Curaçao, Panama, or Costa Rica — and accepts wagers from US players in states without their own licensed, regulated online betting market. That's an important distinction. These sites are not licensed by any US state gaming commission, and they don't operate under the same rules as a regulated sportsbook. There's no state-backed dispute resolution process, no guarantee of segregated player funds, and no regulator you can escalate a complaint to if a payout is delayed or refused. Betting through an offshore sportsbook sits in a legal grey area for US bettors, and readers should check the specific laws in their own state before signing up anywhere. We're not a legal service, and nothing on this site should be read as legal advice — consult a qualified professional if you need clarity on your state's position.

How We Score and Rank the Sites We Cover

Our ratings come from research into publicly available information: published odds and lines, stated bonus terms and rollover requirements, the range of sports and bet types on offer, banking methods including cryptocurrency, and each operator's track record on paying customers. We look at:

• Odds and pricing — how competitive the lines are on point spreads, moneylines, totals, and props, including whether reduced-juice pricing is available
• Market coverage — breadth of sports, live/in-play betting, futures, and same-game parlay options
• Bonus terms — headline offer size alongside rollover/wagering requirements, minimum odds, and expiry windows, since a large bonus figure means little without workable terms
• Banking — deposit and withdrawal methods, including bank cards, wire transfers, vouchers, and crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and stablecoins like USDT and USDC), plus withdrawal fees and processing times
• Reputation — how consistently an operator has paid out over time, and how it handles verification and support

We never test sites by depositing, wagering, or withdrawing funds ourselves — our reviews are based on research and verification of publicly available terms, not hands-on play. Commission from operators does not influence how any site is scored or ranked; where we link to an operator and a reader signs up, we may earn a commission, but that relationship has no bearing on the order sites appear in.

Where Our Current Rankings Stand

Lucky Rebel currently tops our list with a 125% welcome offer up to $1,250 plus a 50 free bet, though as with any offshore bonus, the rollover requirements and eligible markets need checking before claiming it. Bovada, BetOnline, BetNow, Everygame, BetUS, Sportsbetting, Xbet, MyBookie, and ApuestaHoy round out the sites we currently cover, each with its own welcome offer and terms. None of these figures are guarantees of value — a bonus is only useful if the wagering requirements attached to it are realistic for how you bet.

What We Won't Tell You

We won't tell you that betting is a reliable way to make money, and we won't present any tip, pick, or system as a guaranteed winner. Betting carries a real risk of losing the money you stake, and offshore sportsbooks carry the added risk that a payout could be delayed or, in rare cases, refused entirely — there's no US regulator to force the issue if that happens. We also won't imply that offshore sites offer the same consumer protections as a licensed US sportsbook. They don't, and any page on this site that reviews an individual operator says so plainly.

Age, Eligibility, and Responsible Gambling

This site and every sportsbook we cover is intended for adults aged 21 and over (or the minimum legal betting age in your jurisdiction, if higher). Nothing here is written for or directed at anyone under that age. Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to solve financial pressure or escape stress, and it should never involve money you can't afford to lose. Offshore sportsbooks often have lighter know-your-customer checks and fewer built-in responsible gambling tools than regulated US operators, so if you're concerned about your own betting or someone else's, we'd point you to our Responsible Gambling page for tools and support options, and to the National Council on Problem Gambling helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER for confidential help.

Questions, Corrections, and Getting in Touch

If you spot outdated information, a bonus term that's changed, or you simply want to ask a question about how we review a particular site, our Contact Us page has the details for reaching our team. We rely on reader feedback to keep our coverage current, since bonus terms and payout policies at offshore sportsbooks can change without much notice. Our full Terms and Conditions set out how this site operates and the limits of the information we provide.

How to Use This Site

Treat our rankings as a starting point for your own research, not a final answer. Read the bonus terms in full before claiming any offer, check your own state's stance on offshore betting, and confirm an operator's current banking options and withdrawal times directly with the site before committing funds. If a payout policy or verification requirement matters to your decision, it's worth checking directly with the operator, since terms can shift faster than any comparison page can track.
