Contact Us
You can reach the Top Offshore Sportsbooks editorial team at [email protected]. We read everything that comes in and aim to reply to genuine reader questions within a couple of business days. This page explains what we can realistically help with, what has to go to the sportsbook itself, and how to send us something useful if you want to report a payout problem or correct one of our reviews.
One thing to be clear about before you write: we are an independent comparison site, not a sportsbook. We cannot open, close, fund, verify or pay out an account. If you already have a dispute with an operator, we can point you at the right channel and we will log your report, but the account relationship is between you and that sportsbook.
How to reach us, and what each route is for
| Reason for contact | Where it goes | What to include |
|---|---|---|
| Correction to a review, odds note, bonus term or payout claim | [email protected] — subject line "Correction" | The page, the sentence you're disputing, and a link or screenshot showing the current terms |
| Reporting a slow, partial or refused withdrawal | [email protected] — subject line "Payout report" | Sportsbook name, request date, method, amount range, what support told you |
| Bonus terms that don't match what we published | [email protected] — subject line "Bonus terms" | Screenshot of the promo page, the rollover figure and any minimum-odds rule shown |
| Press, partnership or advertising | [email protected] — subject line "Commercial" | Company, the brand involved, and what you're proposing |
| Privacy, data or takedown requests | [email protected] — subject line "Privacy" | The specific page or data you're asking about |
| Gambling harm concerns | Call 1-800-GAMBLER, then see our responsible gambling resources | Nothing — speak to someone trained first |
We don't publish a phone number or run live chat. Email gives us a written record, which matters when a reader is reporting a payment problem and we need to follow it over weeks rather than minutes.
Reader reports that actually change our rankings
Payout behavior is the single hardest thing to verify from the outside. Offshore sportsbooks advertise their own processing times, and we report those as advertising, not as tested results — we have not deposited or withdrawn at these sites. Reader reports are the closest thing to real-world evidence we get, which is why we ask for detail.
A report we can use looks like this:
- The sportsbook and the date. Payment behavior changes. A delay in March tells us little about September.
- The method. Bitcoin, another crypto, bank wire, money transfer or a voucher/player transfer — each has its own timeline and fee structure.
- What was requested versus what arrived. Including any withdrawal fee deducted, and whether crypto price movement between request and receipt changed the dollar value.
- Where it stalled. KYC/verification hold, payout limit, pending review, or silence.
- What support said, and how long they took to say it.
When several independent reports line up against one operator, that affects its position and its write-up. A single anonymous complaint doesn't, and we'll say so if you ask. We also won't publish your name, account number or email.
Questions we get most, by sportsbook
Some mail is really a question about a specific operator rather than about us. Here's the short version for the three brands that generate the most of it. These are the sites we rank highest, and each has a real weakness worth knowing about. Where we mention a welcome offer, the figure is the advertised headline — the rollover, minimum odds, time limit and eligibility rules are set by the operator and published on its own promotions page, and you should read them there before depositing. Some of the placements on this site are commercial, and the publisher may earn a commission when a reader signs up. That doesn't buy rank position, and it doesn't stop us publishing a complaint.
Lucky Rebel — the newest name on our list
Lucky Rebel sits top at an editorial 10.0, and most of the mail about it is from readers asking whether a newer offshore sportsbook can be trusted with a bankroll. Fair question. It advertises a 125% welcome offer up to $1,250 plus a 50 FreeBet, and like every offshore sign-up bonus that money is released against a rollover requirement with its own minimum-odds and expiry rules — check the exact figures on the promo page, because bonus terms are revised more often than sites admit. Its scoring reflects odds, market breadth across NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer, golf and MMA, and crypto banking. The limitation: a shorter public track record of paying than the older names below it. Reputation at an offshore sportsbook is built over years of settled withdrawals, and Lucky Rebel hasn't had those years yet. Size your first deposits accordingly.
Bovada — the one readers ask about by name
Bovada draws more reader mail than anything else on the list, usually about withdrawal timing or state access. Rated 9.7, it's known among US bettors for a long operating history, a deep NFL and NBA prop market, and same-game parlays. The advertised welcome bonus is 50% up to $250, which is modest next to the headline percentages elsewhere — the trade-off is a lower rollover ceiling to clear. Confirm the wagering requirement, qualifying deposit method and time limit before you claim. The limitation: Bovada restricts access from several US states, and readers regularly contact us after finding they can't register. It also runs tighter payout limits per request than some rivals, so large balances come out in stages.
BetOnline — market depth and live betting
At 9.6, BetOnline gets contacted about in-play betting and limits more than about bonuses. It's a value-and-features pick: broad market coverage, reduced-juice pricing on selected lines, futures, totals, point spreads and moneylines across the major US leagues plus soccer, MMA and horse racing through its racebook. The advertised welcome bonus is $250 in free bets, again subject to rollover, minimum odds and an expiry window set by the operator. The limitation: the promotional structure is complicated, with different terms per payment method, and readers tell us the rules are easy to misread. Read the specific offer page tied to your deposit method, not the generic one.
The rest of the list
BetNow (9.5, 125% up to $2,500), Everygame (9.2, 100% up to $500), BetUS (8.9, 100% up to $2,000 on sports plus 25% on casino), Sportsbetting (8.8, 50% up to $250 in free bets), Xbet (8.5, 50% up to $200 on credit card deposits), MyBookie (8.4, 100% up to $1,000 for new players) and ApuestaHoy (8.2, 200% welcome offer) all appear in our comparisons. Every one of those figures is a headline maximum attached to rollover and eligibility conditions published by the operator — a larger percentage usually means a heavier wagering requirement, not more free money. If you want us to look harder at any of them, say which and why.
Money questions we can and can't answer
We can explain how offshore banking generally works. We can't see your account, release a pending withdrawal, or tell you what a specific operator will do with your balance.
- Deposits. Crypto is the most widely accepted route at offshore sportsbooks, with bank card deposits, bank wire, money transfer and voucher or player transfer offered inconsistently and sometimes declined by US card issuers. Availability changes without notice — verify on the cashier page before you commit.
- Withdrawals. Crypto payouts are typically the fastest advertised option; wires and money transfers take longer and usually carry a fee. Operators set minimum and maximum payout amounts per request, and advertised timelines are not guarantees.
- Fees and conversion. Accounts are usually denominated in USD, but crypto withdrawals settle in the coin, so the dollar value can move between request and arrival. That's a real risk, not a rounding error.
- Verification. KYC is often lighter offshore than at regulated US sportsbooks, but it isn't absent. Documents are frequently requested at first withdrawal rather than at signup, which is where delays start.
- Tax. Gambling winnings can have US tax consequences. That's general information only — speak to a qualified tax professional about your own situation.
Beyond sportsbooks: what else these operators run
Most of the brands we cover are not sportsbook-only. The same account typically opens onto a casino section with slots and table games, a live-dealer area, poker at some operators, and a racebook for horse racing. BetUS, for example, advertises a separate casino element alongside its sports welcome bonus. These sections usually carry their own bonus terms and their own rollover math, and casino wagering often contributes differently toward a sports bonus — a common source of reader confusion and a common reason people write to us. Our publisher also maintains casino selections, including a separate guide to casinos outside GamStop, which is a UK-facing topic and not a route around any US state rule.
Legal standing, eligibility and what we won't advise on
The sportsbooks listed on Top Offshore Sportsbooks are licensed offshore — jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Panama and 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 sit in a legal grey area for US bettors, and they carry none of the protections a state-regulated operator must provide: no segregated player funds, no state dispute resolution, no guaranteed payout, no state self-exclusion registry. If an offshore sportsbook delays or refuses payment, there is no US regulator to appeal to.
Where sports betting is legally regulated by your state, the licensed operators there are the ones with those protections. Where it isn't, the rules still vary widely and change. Check your own state's law, and treat anything we publish as general information rather than legal advice — for a decision that matters, consult a qualified professional. We will not tell you whether betting from your address is lawful, and we'll say so if you ask.
You must be 21 or older to use this site, or 18 where that is the minimum an operator sets and the law allows. We do not knowingly provide information to anyone below that age.
If gambling has stopped being fun
Please don't email us about this — call 1-800-GAMBLER, free and confidential, 24 hours a day. Offshore sportsbooks often lack the deposit limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion tools that regulated US operators are required to offer, so the safeguards you might expect may simply not be there. Betting loses money more often than it makes it, it is not a source of income, and chasing a losing run is how small problems become large ones. Our responsible gambling page lists further support options.
Corrections, editorial independence and how we work
Our rankings come from research and verification, not from play-testing — we don't claim to have deposited at, bet with or withdrawn from any operator listed here. Ratings are editorial judgments, not customer review scores, and advertised payout speeds are reported as advertising. Commercial relationships exist and can earn the publisher a commission, but they don't determine order.
Findings on this page were last checked on September 27, 2026. Bonus values, banking options and state access change frequently, so if something reads as out of date, tell us — corrections from readers are the fastest way we catch it. You can read more about the people behind the site on our about page, and the rules covering use of this site are set out in our terms and conditions.
