This page tells you how to reach the editorial team behind Offshore Sportsbooks, what we can realistically help with, and where to go instead when your issue is with a sportsbook account rather than with something we published. We're a comparison and review site at jackg.org — we don't hold funds, we can't see your betting account, and we can't process a withdrawal on your behalf.
If you're 21 or older (18 where a sportsbook sets that minimum and your situation allows it) and you've found something on this site that's wrong, outdated or unclear, we want to hear it. Reader corrections are the fastest way our offshore sportsbook coverage improves.
What to send us — and what we'll do with it
- Corrections and factual disputes. A bonus figure that no longer matches the sportsbook's own terms, a payment method that's been pulled for US customers, a rollover requirement that changed. Include a screenshot or the page you saw it on and the date.
- Payout experiences. Slow withdrawals, KYC requests that stalled, a crypto payout that didn't land. We can't recover your money, but patterns across multiple reader reports do move our ratings.
- Methodology questions. Why one offshore sportsbook outranks another, what we weight, how we treat advertised payout speeds versus verified ones.
- Partnership and media enquiries. Operators and agencies can write in. It's worth saying plainly: buying a placement isn't on the menu.
- Content and accessibility feedback. Broken tables, mobile layout problems, anything that makes the site hard to use on a phone.
We read everything. We don't promise a reply to every message, and we won't respond to requests for picks, parlay advice or "which bet should I take" questions — that isn't what this site does, and nobody can tell you a wager is a lock.
Where to go when the problem is with your sportsbook account
This is the most common reason people write in, so it's worth being direct. If your issue is a pending withdrawal, a locked account, a voided bet or a bonus that didn't credit, Offshore Sportsbooks cannot intervene. There is no US state gaming commission standing behind an offshore sportsbook, no state-run dispute resolution, and no regulator in your state you can escalate to. That's the trade-off readers accept when betting offshore, and it's why we push so hard on track record.
Practical sequence when something goes wrong with an account:
- Open a ticket with the sportsbook's own support — live chat first, email second, and keep the transcript.
- Send whatever KYC documents they ask for. Unverified accounts are the single most common cause of stalled payouts.
- Check the terms you agreed to at signup, especially rollover, maximum payout limits and withdrawal fees.
- If it's still unresolved after a reasonable window, contact the licensing body named in the sportsbook's own footer — typically Curaçao, Panama or Costa Rica. Be realistic: offshore licensing offers far less recourse than a regulated US operator.
- Tell us what happened. It won't fix your case, but it informs how we rate that sportsbook for everyone else.
How we're funded, and why that doesn't change the rankings
Offshore Sportsbooks earns affiliate commission when a reader signs up through some of the links on this site. That's how the research gets paid for. Commission does not buy rank, does not buy a rating and does not stop us publishing a drawback. Every sportsbook on our lists carries at least one, including the one at the top. If you ever think a page reads like an advert rather than a review, say so — that message goes straight to the editorial team.
Questions we get about specific sportsbooks
A few operators generate most of our inbox. Here's the short version of what we tell readers who write in about them, so you know the kind of assessment you'll get back.
Lucky Rebel
Our top-rated offshore sportsbook at an editorial 10.0, mostly on the strength of its welcome package and breadth of markets across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, soccer and MMA. The advertised offer is 125% up to $1,250 plus a 50 FreeBet, and it is not free money: it applies to new accounts only, requires a qualifying deposit of your own funds, and carries rollover, minimum-odds and expiry conditions you need to read on the promotions page before you opt in. Limitation worth knowing: it's a newer name compared to the long-running offshore sportsbooks, so its track record of paying is shorter. Reader payout reports on Lucky Rebel are the ones we most want in the inbox.
Bovada
Rated 9.9, and the name most US bettors recognize. Readers contact us about it more than any other sportsbook, usually about withdrawal timing. Its headline is a 50% welcome bonus up to $250 — deliberately modest next to the 125% offers elsewhere, with rollover attached and a limited claim window. The smaller bonus is arguably an advantage, since lower-rollover offers are easier to clear. Limitation: Bovada does not accept customers from every US state, and some states are blocked outright regardless of how you fund the account. Check eligibility before depositing, not after.
BetOnline
At 9.8, this is the one we hear about from value seekers — reduced juice pricing, deeper prop and futures markets, and higher betting limits than many rivals will take. The welcome offer is $250 in free bets, subject to a qualifying deposit, wagering requirements and minimum-odds rules stated in its terms. Limitation: the interface carries a lot of history and feels dense on mobile compared to newer sites, and card deposits for US customers can be inconsistent depending on your issuing bank.
BetNow
Rated 9.5, with the largest advertised headline on our list at 125% up to $2,500. Bigger percentage, bigger rollover — that's the consistent trade. Treat the maximum as theoretical unless you're depositing at the top end, and read the wagering multiple, eligible market types and time limit before claiming. Limitation: market depth outside the major US leagues is thinner than at BetOnline, and withdrawal options are narrower.
Comparing the offers people ask us about
Advertised terms only. Every figure below is the sportsbook's own headline and every one of them carries rollover, minimum odds and an expiry — verify the current terms on the operator's promotions page before depositing, since offshore offers change without notice.

Banking questions we can and can't answer
We can explain how deposits and payouts generally work at offshore sportsbooks. We can't tell you whether a specific method will clear for your specific bank, because that varies by issuer and changes often.
- Cryptocurrency — the method most offshore sportsbooks push hardest, usually with the fastest payouts and lowest or no withdrawal fees. The catch readers underestimate: crypto prices move. A balance can lose value between deposit and cash-out, independent of how your bets went.
- Bank card deposits — Visa and Mastercard are widely advertised for US customers, but declines are common and depend entirely on your bank. Cards are rarely usable for withdrawals.
- Bank wire — works for larger payouts, typically the slowest route, and often carries a flat fee plus a minimum amount.
- Money transfer and courier check — offered by several sportsbooks, usually with per-transaction fees and monthly frequency caps.
- Player transfer / vouchers — an account-to-account option some sites run. Fast, but it moves funds sideways rather than getting them into your bank.
Everything runs in USD at the sportsbooks on our list, but currency conversion can still apply if you fund through crypto. Expect KYC before your first withdrawal at most sites, even where signup was light. Payout limits per transaction and per week are set by the operator, not by any US authority.
What these sportsbooks cover beyond the main betting menu
Point spreads, moneylines and totals are the base. Beyond that you'll find futures, parlays, same-game parlays, player and game props, and live in-play markets across NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer, golf and MMA. Most of the operators here also run other product lines on the same wallet: online casino sections with slots and table games, live-dealer rooms, racebooks for horse racing, poker rooms at some, and esports. BetUS is explicit about it, splitting its welcome package across sports and casino. Those adjacent products carry their own separate terms — casino wagering rarely counts toward sports rollover, and racebook rebates work differently again. If you're writing to us about a bonus that didn't clear, tell us which product you were playing.
Legal standing, eligibility and age
Be clear-eyed about this before you contact anyone. The sportsbooks reviewed on Offshore Sportsbooks are licensed offshore — commonly in Curaçao, Panama or Costa Rica — and accept US customers. Accepting US customers is not the same as being authorized or licensed to serve you in your state. For US bettors this sits in a legal grey area: there is no US state regulation of these sites, no state gaming commission oversight, no segregated-fund requirement, no guaranteed payout and no state dispute process. Some states legally regulate online sports betting through their own gaming commission or board; others restrict or prohibit it. Laws differ state to state and change. Check your own state's current position, and treat anything here about legality or tax treatment as general information — consult a qualified attorney or tax professional for advice on your situation.
You must be at least 21 to use this site and the sportsbooks it covers, or 18 where that is the operator's stated minimum and it is lawful for you. We do not knowingly correspond with anyone under age.
Betting within your limits
Betting costs money and most bettors lose over time. It is not income, and no tip, system or picks service changes that. Offshore sportsbooks frequently lack the deposit limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion tools that regulated US operators are required to provide, so the guardrails are largely your own. Set a budget you can afford to lose, don't chase losses, and don't bet to cope with stress or money pressure.
If gambling is causing you problems, confidential help is available 24/7 in the US at 1-800-GAMBLER. Our responsible gambling resources page goes into the warning signs and the tools worth using.
Before you write in
Two things make a message far more useful to us: the exact page or sportsbook you're referring to, and a date. Offshore offers, banking options and payout times change month to month, and "the bonus is wrong" without a date is hard to act on.
