Contact Us
If you want to reach the editorial team behind Offshore Betting Sites, email [email protected]. We read everything that arrives and 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 what to include so we can actually be useful — particularly if you're writing about a bonus that didn't credit or a withdrawal that hasn't landed.
One thing to be clear about before anything else: we are a comparison and review publisher, not a sportsbook. We don't hold accounts, take deposits, process payouts, or have the power to release anyone's funds. If your money is stuck at an operator, the sportsbook's own support team is the only party that can move it — though we do want to know about it, because reader reports feed directly into how we rank sites.
How to reach us
- General questions and corrections: email [email protected] with a clear subject line. "Rollover question — BetOnline welcome offer" gets a faster, better answer than "Help".
- Payout or bonus complaints: same address. Include the sportsbook name, the date you deposited or requested a withdrawal, the payment method, and what support has told you so far. Screenshots help. Please redact your account password, full card numbers, and crypto private keys — we never need them and will never ask.
- Factual corrections: if an offer amount, rollover figure, or banking detail on the site is out of date, tell us which page and what changed. Our last full fact-check was Sep 24, 2026, and terms at offshore sportsbooks move without notice, so these emails are genuinely valuable.
- Business and media: partnership, advertising, and licensing enquiries go to the same inbox. Mark the subject line "Commercial" so it gets routed correctly.
Commercial disclosure, stated plainly
Offshore Betting Sites earns commission when a reader signs up through some of the links on this site. That funding model pays for the research. It does not buy a position in our rankings, it does not soften a review, and it does not stop us publishing a drawback. Several sportsbooks we cover pay us nothing. If you ever think a review reads like an advertisement, email us and say so — that's a complaint we take seriously.
Questions we get most, and the short answers
"Can you get my withdrawal released?"
No. We have no account access and no leverage over an operator's payments team. What we can do is log the report, check whether other readers have raised the same issue with the same sportsbook, and adjust our coverage if a pattern emerges. Offshore sportsbooks carry no US state player protections — there is no state gaming commission to escalate to, no segregated-funds requirement, and no guaranteed dispute resolution. That risk is real and we say so on every page.
"Which bonus is actually worth taking?"
We can't pick one for you, but we can explain the math on any offer we list. The headline percentage matters far less than the rollover, the minimum odds, the time limit, and whether the deposit itself is included in the wagering calculation. Ask us about a specific offer and we'll walk through the terms as published by that sportsbook.
"Is offshore betting legal where I live?"
We can't answer that for your state, and nobody writing a website should pretend to. Offshore sportsbooks are licensed outside the US — commonly in Curaçao, Panama, or Costa Rica — and accepting US players is not the same as being authorized to serve them. Federal and state law treat this differently, and several states regulate online sports betting through their own gaming commission or board while others restrict or prohibit it entirely. Check your own state's rules and speak to a qualified attorney. Anything we publish on law or tax is general information, not advice.
Bonus terms we get asked about most
These are the headline welcome offers on the sportsbooks we cover, as advertised by the operators. Every one carries rollover (wagering) requirements, minimum-odds rules, time limits, and eligibility conditions set by the sportsbook — read the full terms on the operator's site before depositing, and email us if a figure below no longer matches what you see.
| Sportsbook | Advertised welcome offer | Our editorial rating |
|---|---|---|
| Lucky Rebel | 125% up to $1,250 + 50 FreeBet | 10.0 |
| Bovada | 50% up to $250 | 9.8 |
| BetOnline | $250 in free bets | 9.7 |
| BetNow | 125% up to $2,500 | 9.5 |
| Everygame | 100% up to $500 | 9.5 |
| BetUS | 100% up to $2,000 sports, 25% casino | 9.2 |
| Sportsbetting | 50% up to $250 in free bets | 9.1 |
| Xbet | 50% up to $200 on credit card deposits | 9.0 |
| MyBookie | 100% up to $1,000, new players | 8.8 |
| ApuestaHoy | 200% welcome offer | 8.5 |
Those ratings are our own editorial scores, not customer-review averages and not a prediction of how any individual account will be handled.
The three sportsbooks readers email about most
Lucky Rebel
Lucky Rebel sits top of our list and generates the most bonus questions, mostly because the offer has two moving parts: a 125% match up to $1,250 plus a 50 FreeBet. Readers frequently assume the free bet credits at signup — check the operator's terms for the qualifying deposit, the rollover attached to the matched funds, the minimum odds that count toward it, and the expiry window, because a two-part offer usually means two separate sets of conditions. The limitation worth stating: Lucky Rebel is a newer name than the long-running offshore brands, so it has a shorter public track record of paying. A high editorial rating reflects what we can verify about its markets, pricing, and banking today, not decades of payout history. Treat your first withdrawal as the real test.
Bovada
Bovada draws contact because it's the brand most American bettors already know, and because its 50% up to $250 welcome bonus is modest next to the headline numbers elsewhere. That's often a fair trade — a smaller match typically comes with lighter rollover, which is why we rank it second despite the smallest sports offer on the list. Verify the rollover multiple, minimum odds, and expiry before you opt in. The drawbacks readers raise: Bovada restricts or limits some accounts, and its banking menu leans heavily toward crypto, with card deposits declining more often than bettors expect. Crypto also carries price volatility between deposit and withdrawal, which is a real cost nobody advertises.
BetOnline
BetOnline gets emails about market depth more than anything else — props, same-game parlays, in-play pricing, and its racebook. The welcome offer is $250 in free bets, and free-bet promotions work differently from deposit matches: stake is usually not returned with winnings, minimum odds apply, and there's a window in which the bet must be placed. Read those terms as published rather than assuming they match a cash bonus. The limitation: BetOnline runs a very large promotional program, and layering offers can create rollover you didn't intend to take on. Some bettors also find that limits tighten once an account shows consistent winners.
Banking questions — what we can and can't confirm
Money questions are the second-biggest category in our inbox. Offshore sportsbooks generally support crypto deposits and withdrawals, bank cards, bank wire, money transfer services, and player-to-player vouchers, but availability changes by operator, by state, and sometimes by week. We verify what an operator publishes rather than assuming a method works for American customers.
- Crypto: usually the fastest route out, often the only method with low or no operator fee, and generally the one with the highest payout limits. The catch is volatility — the dollar value of a payout can move between request and arrival — plus network fees and the fact that a mistyped address is unrecoverable.
- Bank cards: commonly work for deposits, rarely for withdrawals, and US card issuers decline offshore gambling transactions often. Some offers, like Xbet's 50% up to $200, are tied specifically to credit card deposits, so a declined card can mean a missed bonus.
- Bank wire and money transfer: slower, typically carry a fee, and usually have higher minimums. These tend to be the fallback for larger balances.
- Vouchers and player transfers: offered by several offshore operators as a workaround when other rails fail. Timings and limits vary widely.
Every offshore sportsbook runs some form of KYC before a first payout — ID, proof of address, sometimes a payment-method check. Verification is often lighter than at a state-regulated site, but "lighter" isn't "none," and the most common cause of a delayed withdrawal is paperwork that was never submitted. If you email us about a stalled payout, tell us whether KYC is complete; nine times out of ten that's the answer.
Beyond the sportsbook: casino, racebook, and poker
Most operators we cover run more than a sportsbook. The same account typically opens a casino with slots, table games, and live-dealer rooms, a racebook for thoroughbred and harness wagering, and at some sites a poker room. BetUS, for instance, advertises a separate 25% casino portion alongside its 100% up to $2,000 sports bonus — a signal that sports and casino funds are usually tracked under different terms.
This matters for bonuses specifically. Casino rollover is almost always higher than sports rollover, casino play frequently doesn't count toward a sports bonus, and mixing the two while a bonus is active can void it. If you're unsure which product your promo applies to, that's a good question for our inbox — or for the operator's live chat before you wager. We also maintain a separate section on online casinos that operate outside UK self-exclusion schemes for readers whose interest runs that way.
How we assess the sportsbooks we cover
So you know what our answers are based on: we research operator terms, published banking pages, license information, market coverage and pricing on core US sports, and public reputation across NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer, golf, MMA, and horse racing. We have not deposited, wagered, or withdrawn at these sites, and we don't claim tested payout times — advertised speeds are presented as advertised. Reader reports are the closest thing we have to field evidence, which is the main reason this page exists. Commission never determines position, and you can read more about who we are and how we work on our editorial background page.
Who can bet, and where to get help
You must be at least 21 to use this site and to bet at most of the sportsbooks listed, and at least 18 where an operator sets that as its minimum. Offshore sportsbooks are licensed outside the United States and sit in a legal grey area for American bettors: accepting US players is not the same as being regulated to serve them. There are no US state player protections here — no segregated-funds guarantee, no state dispute process, no assurance a payout will be made. Check your own state's laws, and treat any tax or legal point you read online, including ours, as general information to verify with a qualified professional.
Betting is entertainment, not income, and losing is the normal outcome. Never stake money you need, and never bet to recover a loss. Offshore sportsbooks often lack the deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion tools that regulated US operators must provide, so the guardrails are largely yours to set. If gambling is causing problems for you or someone close to you, call 1-800-GAMBLER, available 24/7 and confidential. Our responsible gambling resources list further support, and the site terms set out the basis on which this information is published.
That's everything this page can settle on its own. For anything else — a correction, a complaint, a question about rollover on a specific offer — write to [email protected] and include enough detail that we can check the facts before replying.
