Get in Touch With Us
This page is for readers who need to reach the editorial team behind Best Offshore Betting Sites — to flag a factual error, question a bonus term we've published, report a payout problem with an offshore sportsbook, or ask about working with us. Email is the only channel we run, and every message is read by a person.
Email: [email protected]. We aim to reply within two business days. Corrections and payout reports are triaged first.
Before you write: we are an independent comparison publisher, not a sportsbook. We cannot access your betting account, release a withdrawal, reverse a bonus forfeiture, verify your documents, or change anything an operator has decided. Those requests have to go to the operator's own support desk.
Reach the right person faster
Tell us in the first line which of these your message is, and we'll route it without a back-and-forth.
- Corrections and stale data — a welcome offer amount, rollover multiple, minimum odds or time limit that no longer matches what the sportsbook shows. Include the page, the operator and a screenshot or the date you saw it. Bonus terms change without notice, so reader reports are the fastest way we catch drift.
- Payout and account disputes — a delayed or refused withdrawal, a frozen balance, a KYC request you weren't expecting. We can't force an outcome, but we log every report, weigh it in our ratings, and will tell you what escalation routes exist.
- Questions about how a bonus works — rollover math, whether a deposit method qualifies, why a free bet stake isn't returned. We'll answer in general terms and point you to the operator's own terms, which always govern.
- Feedback on coverage — sports, leagues or market types you want compared. NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer, golf, MMA and horse racing all get covered differently across these sites, and reader requests shape what we prioritize.
- Commercial and partnership enquiries — introduce the brand and what you're proposing. Read the next section first.
- Responsible gambling — if you're worried about your own betting or someone else's, say so and we'll respond with support resources rather than product talk.
How we make money, and what that does not buy
We earn commission when a reader signs up with some of the operators listed on this site. That relationship pays for the research; it does not decide the running order, the editorial ratings, or whether a sportsbook gets criticized. Operators can contact us to correct facts about their product. They cannot contact us to move up a list, remove a limitation we've published, or have a payout complaint deleted. If you email us proposing paid placement, we'll say no and the exchange won't affect our coverage either way.
All ratings on this site are editorial judgments made by our team from published terms and reader reports. They are not customer review scores, and they are not the result of us depositing or betting anywhere.
What a useful bonus query looks like
Most reader mail is about sign-up offers, and most of it is answerable in one reply if you include the right details. The headline number is never the whole story — the rollover, the minimum odds and the clock attached to it decide what the offer is actually worth.
| Sportsbook | Advertised welcome offer | Editorial rating |
|---|---|---|
| Lucky Rebel | 125% up to $1,250 + 50 FreeBet | 10.0 |
| Bovada | 50% up to $250 | 9.9 |
| BetOnline | $250 in free bets | 9.8 |
| BetNow | 125% up to $2,500 | 9.7 |
| Everygame | 100% up to $500 | 9.3 |
| BetUS | 100% up to $2,000 sports, 25% casino | 9.2 |
| Sportsbetting | 50% up to $250 in free bets | 9.2 |
| Xbet | 50% up to $200 on credit card deposits | 8.9 |
| MyBookie | 100% up to $1,000, new players | 8.7 |
| ApuestaHoy | 200% welcome offer | 8.6 |
Every one of these carries rollover (wagering) requirements, minimum odds on qualifying bets, an expiry window and eligibility conditions that we don't have space to restate in a table. We publish the specific terms alongside each review, and the operator's own terms page is the final word. If a figure above doesn't match what you're seeing at sign-up, that's exactly the kind of message we want.
Three offers readers ask about most
Lucky Rebel tops our list on the strength of its market depth and the size of its welcome package — 125% up to $1,250 plus a 50 free bet. It sits at the front because it combines a large matched deposit with broad coverage across the US majors and in-play markets, not because of the headline number alone. The limitation is the one that applies to every large percentage bonus: a bigger match means a bigger rollover balance to clear, and the free bet component typically returns winnings only, not the stake. Check the qualifying odds floor before you place the first bet — a bet priced too short usually won't count toward the requirement.
Bovada earns its position on reputation and consistency rather than bonus size. Its 50% up to $250 welcome bonus is modest against the field, which is the trade-off: smaller matched amount, but a correspondingly smaller amount to wager through. Readers ask about it because Bovada has one of the longer track records of paying US players among offshore sportsbooks. The drawback worth knowing is that its reduced-juice pricing isn't as aggressive as some rivals on sides and totals, so line shoppers often keep a second account elsewhere.
BetOnline is here for market coverage and pricing. Its $250 in free bets is structured differently from a percentage match, and free bet mechanics trip readers up more than any other offer type — the stake is normally not returned with winnings, and each free bet usually has its own minimum odds and expiry. BetOnline's breadth across props, futures, same-game parlays and its racebook is a genuine reason to consider it. The limitation: its terms and promotions change more often than most, which is why a fair share of our correction mail concerns this operator.

Money questions we can and can't answer
We can explain how the mechanics generally work at offshore sportsbooks. We can't confirm what will happen in your specific account.
- Deposits — most of these sites accept cryptocurrency, bank cards (approval rates vary by issuer and often fail for US cardholders), bank wire, money transfer services, and player-to-player vouchers. Some bonuses are method-specific: Xbet's 50% up to $200 is tied to credit card deposits, for example, so a crypto deposit wouldn't qualify.
- Withdrawals — crypto payouts are usually the fastest route and often the only one without a fee, while wire and check by courier are slower and typically carry a charge. Minimum and maximum payout limits, plus how many free withdrawals you get per month, are set by each operator.
- Fees and conversion — accounts are generally denominated in USD, but crypto deposits convert at the operator's rate, and the coin's price can move between deposit and withdrawal. That volatility is a real risk, separate from betting risk.
- Verification — KYC at offshore sportsbooks is often lighter at sign-up than at regulated US operators, but it commonly appears at the first large withdrawal. Budget time for it rather than being surprised by it.
- The risk we won't soften — an offshore sportsbook can delay or refuse a payout, and there is no US state regulator to appeal to. Our reader reports feed into our ratings precisely because that track record is the thing you can't read off a bonus banner.
Reporting a problem with a sportsbook
- Contact the operator's support first, in writing, and keep the thread.
- Save screenshots of the bet, the balance, the promotion terms as they appeared, and any support responses.
- Note dates and amounts in USD, and which deposit method you used.
- Send it to us with the operator name in the subject line.
- Expect an honest answer about leverage: we publish patterns, we don't arbitrate. There is no US dispute-resolution body covering these sites, and any complaint process is the offshore licensee's own.
What else these operators run
Almost every sportsbook we cover runs additional product lines under the same account and wallet, and questions about them are welcome too. Typically that means an online casino (slots, table games and live-dealer rooms), a separate racebook for horse racing, and in some cases poker. These carry their own bonuses and their own rollover rules — BetUS, for instance, advertises a 25% casino bonus alongside its 100% up to $2,000 sports offer, and casino wagering requirements are usually calculated differently from sports ones. Mixing a sports bonus with casino play can void it at some operators. If your query is casino-side rather than sports-side, our rundown of casinos outside the GamStop scheme covers that territory separately.
Eligibility, legal standing and age
You must be 21 or older to use this site, or 18 where that is a particular sportsbook's stated minimum. Nothing here is aimed at anyone younger.
The sportsbooks we compare are licensed offshore — commonly in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Panama or Costa Rica — and accept US players. Accepting US customers is not the same as being authorized to serve them. These sites are not licensed or regulated by any US state gaming commission or board, they operate in a legal grey area for US bettors, and none of the protections a state-regulated operator must provide — segregated player funds, state dispute resolution, enforced payout obligations — apply to you here. Rules differ sharply by state: some states run fully regulated online sportsbooks and racebooks under their own gaming commission, others restrict or prohibit online betting entirely. Check your own state's law before you deposit.
Tax treatment of gambling winnings is a real question and a common one in our inbox. We can describe how people generally approach it, but we are not tax advisors and nothing on this site is legal or tax advice — consult a qualified professional about your own situation.
If betting has stopped being fun
Bet only what you can afford to lose. No betting tip, system or line edge makes gambling a source of income, and nothing we publish is a guaranteed pick. Chasing losses is the fastest way to turn a bad night into a serious problem.
Offshore sportsbooks often lack the deposit limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion tools that regulated US operators are required to offer, so the safeguards may simply not be there. If you need help, call 1-800-GAMBLER for free, confidential support, 24 hours a day. If you tell us in an email that you're struggling, we'll reply with resources and nothing else.
Who's on the other end
Editorial contact runs through Naomi Sheffield. Our reviews are built from published operator terms, licensing information where it can be verified, banking documentation and reader reports — we research and verify rather than claiming to have deposited or bet anywhere ourselves. Where something is unresolved or we can't confirm it, we say so on the page instead of filling the gap.
Whichever reason brought you here, one clear email with dates, amounts and a screenshot gets a faster and more useful answer than a general question. Send it over when you're ready.
