Get in Touch With Us
This page tells you how to contact the editorial team behind Best offshore Betting Sites, what we can realistically help with, and what falls outside what an independent comparison site can do. We cover mobile offshore sportsbooks — betting apps and mobile browser sites licensed outside the United States that accept US players — and most of the mail we get relates to that: a payout that hasn't landed, a bonus term that reads differently on the operator's page than on ours, or a question about whether a sportsbook works from a particular state.
Age and eligibility: this site is for adults aged 21 and over (18 where an operator sets that minimum and it is lawful for the reader). Gambling carries real risk of financial loss. If it stops being entertainment, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
How to reach the editors
Email is the only channel we operate. Messages sent through the contact form on sahawaii.org reach the same inbox. We aim to reply within two business days; corrections and payout complaints get looked at first because they affect what other readers see.
Three things make a reply faster and more useful:
- Name the sportsbook and the page on our site you're referring to.
- Give dates in US format (MM/DD/YYYY) and dollar amounts where money is involved.
- Say what you want from us — a correction, a pointer to information, or simply to put an experience on record.
Please don't send account numbers, passwords, card details, wallet seed phrases or copies of ID documents. We never need them, and we will delete anything of that kind that arrives.
How we make money, and what that doesn't buy
We may earn a commission when a reader opens an account through a link on this site. That is how the site is funded. Commission does not buy a position in our rankings, does not remove a drawback from a write-up, and does not stop us publishing a complaint about an operator we have a commercial relationship with. If you think a page reads like an advert rather than an assessment, say so — that's a legitimate reason to email us.
What you can write to us about
- Corrections. Bonus percentages, rollover multiples, minimum odds, expiry windows and payout methods change without notice. If ours are stale, tell us and we will check the operator's current terms and update or remove the claim.
- Payout and withdrawal problems. We can't force an offshore sportsbook to pay you. We can log the report, ask the operator for comment, and reflect a pattern in our ratings if one appears across multiple readers.
- Mobile app and site issues. Crashes on a specific iOS or Android version, a mobile browser that won't load live betting, geolocation prompts behaving oddly. Include your device and OS version.
- Questions about state law. We'll point you to your state gaming commission or board rather than tell you what's legal for you personally.
- Responsible gambling. If you want a page's tone changed, a link removed from your view, or help finding support, write and we'll respond privately.
- Partnership and media. Operators, affiliates and journalists should identify the company and the proposal in the first paragraph.
What we can't do for you
Being clear about the limits saves everyone time. Offshore sportsbooks are licensed in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Panama or Costa Rica, not by any US state regulator. That means no US state player protections apply — no segregated-funds rule you can invoke, no state-run dispute resolution, no guaranteed payout. We are a publisher, not a regulator or an ombudsman, and we have no authority over any operator we cover.
We also don't hold accounts on your behalf, can't recover a closed or limited account, can't speed up a withdrawal, and won't give legal or tax advice. Offshore sports betting sits in a legal grey area for US bettors and the rules differ sharply by state — some states license and regulate online sportsbooks and racebooks, others restrict or prohibit online wagering entirely. Treat anything we publish on law or tax as general information and consult a qualified attorney or tax professional about your own position.
Finally: we publish betting tips and analysis, never guaranteed outcomes. Nobody can promise a winning wager, and betting is not a reliable source of income.
Contacting the sportsbooks themselves
For anything account-specific — verification, a missing deposit, a bonus that didn't credit — the operator's own customer support is the first and usually the only effective route. Go through it before writing to us, and keep the ticket numbers. If the operator stops responding, that's the point at which your report becomes useful to other readers.
Below are three sportsbooks readers ask about most often, with the headline offer as advertised and the caveats that matter when you're trying to get hold of someone.
Lucky Rebel — our top-rated mobile offshore sportsbook
Lucky Rebel sits first in our rankings (editorial rating 10.0, our own score, not a customer-review average) largely on the strength of its mobile experience: the sportsbook runs in a phone browser without a native app download, which is how most offshore betting apps work for US players. Its advertised welcome offer is 125% up to $1,250 plus a 50 FreeBet. As with every bonus on this site, treat the headline number as the ceiling, not the expectation: rollover, minimum odds, qualifying markets and an expiry window all apply, and the operator's current terms override anything you read here — read them before you deposit. Limitation: it is the newest name in our top ten, so its track record of paying is shorter than the established operators below. A shorter history means less evidence, and less evidence means more risk on larger balances.
Bovada — long track record, narrower banking
Bovada (9.7) earns its position on longevity and a mobile site that handles point spread, moneyline, totals, futures, parlays and same-game parlays cleanly on a small screen. Advertised welcome bonus: 50% up to $250, subject to rollover, minimum odds and a time limit set out in its terms. Limitation: deposit and withdrawal options are narrower than at some rivals, with crypto the practical route for fast payouts, and Bovada does not accept players from every US state — check availability from your location before you register.
BetOnline — deep markets, slower on documents
BetOnline (9.7) is the one we point value-seekers toward: broad market coverage across NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer, golf and MMA, a racebook alongside the sportsbook, reduced-juice options on selected lines, and higher limits than most regulated US betting sites will offer a winning bettor. Advertised welcome bonus: $250 in free bets, again with rollover, qualifying-odds and expiry conditions in the operator's terms. Limitation: readers report that KYC document checks on a first withdrawal can add days, and fees or minimums vary by payout method — confirm both before you request money out.

Money questions we get asked most
Opening an account costs nothing, but a welcome bonus is never free money: you must deposit and wager your own funds to unlock it, and losing that stake is a real possibility. The methods that generally work for American customers at offshore betting sites are cryptocurrency (typically the fastest payouts and often the lowest fees), bank card deposits (frequently declined by US issuers, and usually deposit-only), bank wire, money transfer services, and player-to-player voucher transfers. Withdrawal timing, minimums, maximums and fees differ by method and by operator — verify them on the cashier page rather than assuming, and remember crypto adds price volatility between the moment you withdraw and the moment you convert to dollars.
If you're writing to us about a payout, tell us the method, the amount, the date requested and what support said. That detail is what lets us follow up.
What else these operators run
Most of the sportsbooks we cover are multi-product sites. Alongside the sportsbook you'll usually find an online casino (slots and table games), live-dealer rooms, a racebook for horse racing with its own separate rules and rebates, poker at some operators, and esports. Bonuses rarely cross over — a sports welcome offer normally can't be cleared on casino play, and casino rollover is calculated differently. If your question is about casino play rather than betting, say so, and note that our guide to non-GamStop casinos covers a related but distinct part of the market.
How we assess the sportsbooks you're writing about
We research operators rather than test them. Our assessments draw on published terms and conditions, licensing information the operator makes public, banking and payout documentation, mobile site behavior across common devices, complaint patterns reported by readers, and how long a sportsbook has been paying. Facts on this page were last checked on Sep 25, 2026 by Eric Chandler. Advertised payout speeds are the operator's claims, not measured results, and we label them that way. Commission plays no part in ranking order.
Before you send
If your message is a correction, include a link or screenshot. If it's a complaint, include dates. If it's about your own gambling, you don't need to include anything — just write. Offshore sportsbooks often lack the deposit limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion tools that regulated US operators must provide, so the practical controls have to come from you: set a budget you can afford to lose, don't chase losses, and don't bet to relieve stress. Confidential help is available 24/7 at 1-800-GAMBLER.
We read everything. Take the time to write it clearly and you'll get a clearer answer back.
