Contact Us
You've landed on the page for getting in touch with the editorial team behind Offshore Sportsbooks. Whether you want to flag an error in a review, tell us an offshore sportsbook stalled your Bitcoin withdrawal, or ask how we rank crypto offshore sportsbooks, this is where those messages go. We read everything sent to us through the contact form on seattlehockey.net.
One thing to settle up front: we are a comparison and review publisher, not a sportsbook. We can't open, close, verify or credit an account, we can't release a pending payout, and we can't overturn a graded bet. If your issue is with an operator, you need their support team — though we do want to hear about it, because payout behavior is one of the things that moves our ratings.
Age and eligibility: this site is for adults aged 21 and over (18+ only where a given sportsbook sets that as its minimum and the reader's own jurisdiction allows it). If gambling has stopped being entertainment, call 1-800-GAMBLER, which is free, confidential and available 24/7. Our responsible gambling resources page lists further support.
What to send us, and where it goes
Different messages take different routes internally. Telling us which category you're in gets you a faster, more useful reply.
| Your message | What we can do | What helps us most |
|---|---|---|
| Correction to a review or bonus term | Re-verify against the operator's current terms and update or annotate the page | The page URL, the exact line, and where the correct figure appears |
| Payout delay or refusal at an offshore sportsbook | Log it, look for a pattern across reports, and reflect it in the sportsbook's rating and write-up | Operator name, date requested, method (crypto or fiat), amount range, what support told you |
| Question about crypto deposits, withdrawals or fees | Point you to the relevant guidance and, where we can verify it, answer directly | The coin and network you're using, and the sportsbook involved |
| Suggest a sportsbook we don't cover | Add it to the research queue for licensing, banking and reputation checks | A link to the operator and why you think it's worth covering |
| Commercial or partnership inquiry | Route it to the commercial side, which sits apart from editorial scoring | Company name and the nature of the proposal |
| Press, data or interview request | Respond where we have something verifiable to say | Deadline and publication |
What we can't help with
- Account verification (KYC), document uploads or identity disputes — only the operator handles those
- Releasing a held withdrawal, reversing a deposit, or recovering funds from a sportsbook
- Bet grading, void decisions, line disputes or limit reductions
- Legal advice about whether you may bet from your state, or how to report winnings on your taxes — those are questions for a qualified attorney or tax professional
- Picks, tips or predictions on request. No wager is a "lock," and nobody can promise you a profit
Before you write: the honest context on offshore betting
Most reader emails we get share a root cause, so it's worth stating plainly. The offshore sportsbooks we review are licensed outside the United States — commonly in Curaçao, Panama or Costa Rica — and accept US players from states with no legal, regulated online sportsbook. Accepting American customers is not the same as being authorized to serve them. For US bettors this sits in a legal grey area, and it varies by state.
The practical consequence matters more than the label. There is no US state regulator standing behind these accounts. No State Gaming Commission or Gaming Control Board will mediate your dispute, there is no requirement that player funds be segregated, and no guaranteed payout scheme exists if an operator stops paying. In regulated states — New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania and others with licensed online sportsbooks — you have a complaints route. Offshore, you have the operator's own goodwill and its track record. Some have paid consistently for many years; that is a reputation, not a protection. Check your own state's laws before you deposit, and treat any legal point you read here as general information rather than advice.
Offshore sportsbooks also tend to carry lighter responsible gambling tooling than licensed US operators. Deposit limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion may be limited or absent, and state self-exclusion programs do not reach them. If that's a concern for you, contact us and we'll point you to independent support rather than to a betting site. 1-800-GAMBLER is the national line.
How we fund the site, and why it doesn't decide the order
Offshore Sportsbooks earns commission when a reader signs up through some of the links on this site. That's the standard affiliate model, and you should assume any sportsbook link here may be commercial. Commission does not buy a position in our rankings, does not raise an editorial rating, and does not suppress a negative finding. When an operator we have a commercial relationship with starts drawing payout complaints, the rating comes down — that has to be true or the whole site is worthless.
Editorial ratings on this site are ours. They are not customer-review averages, and they are not a prediction of your experience. More on who we are and how the team works sits on the about the team page, and the terms of use cover the formalities of using seattlehockey.net.
How we assess the sportsbooks you'll ask us about
We research rather than test. We do not claim to have deposited, wagered or withdrawn at these operators. What we do is verify advertised terms against operator documentation, track publicly reported payout behavior over time, and re-check time-sensitive details on a schedule — this page's findings were last reviewed on Sep 24, 2026 by Lindsay McKenna. Where something is unconfirmed, we say so rather than filling the gap.
The criteria that carry the most weight, in order:
- Track record of paying. Longevity and the absence of a pattern of stalled withdrawals matter more than any bonus.
- Payout speed and reliability. Crypto rails usually clear faster than bank wire or check, but advertised windows are advertising, not a tested result.
- Banking breadth. Which cryptocurrencies, which networks, whether bank card deposits actually go through for American customers, and what withdrawal fees and payout limits apply.
- Odds and pricing. Standard juice versus reduced vig, and how lines hold on point spread, moneyline and totals markets.
- Market coverage. NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer, golf, MMA, futures, prop bets, parlays, same-game parlays (SGP) and live in-play betting.
- Bonus terms. Rollover, minimum odds, time limits and eligibility — never the headline number alone.
- Verification, security and support. KYC demands, site security, and whether support answers a real question.
The operators readers ask about most
Three come up constantly in our inbox, usually around crypto payouts and bonus rollover. Brief notes below; the full reviews go deeper.
Lucky Rebel
Our top-rated pick at 10.0, and the one generating the most "how does the bonus actually work" mail. The advertised welcome offer is 125% up to $1,250 plus a 50 FreeBet. Before you claim it, read the operator's own rollover requirement, minimum odds, qualifying period and excluded markets — a percentage match of that size is normally attached to meaningful wagering conditions, and the bonus is only worth what those terms allow you to withdraw. Limitation: it is a newer name relative to the long-established offshore sportsbooks, so its payout history is shorter. A short record isn't a red flag, but it is less evidence than a decade of paying, and we weigh it that way.
Bovada
Rated 9.8, and the name most often mentioned by readers who want a familiar operator rather than the biggest number. Welcome bonus of 50% up to $250, again subject to the operator's stated rollover, eligible-deposit and time conditions — the modest headline usually comes with correspondingly lighter requirements, which suits bettors who dislike being locked into wagering. Limitation: the smallest headline welcome offer among our top picks, and some readers report tighter limits on certain markets than a high-stakes bettor would want.
BetOnline
Rated 9.6, and the one crypto-focused readers raise most for coin support and market depth. The advertised welcome is $250 in free bets; free-bet offers typically carry minimum-odds rules and exclude the stake from any return, so check what converts to withdrawable cash. Limitation: free bets are less flexible than a cash match, and headline crypto payout windows are advertised speeds — actual timing can stretch during verification or heavy weekends.
Where the rest of the list sits
| Sportsbook | Editorial rating | Advertised welcome offer |
|---|---|---|
| BetNow | 9.6 | 125% up to $2,500 |
| Everygame | 9.4 | 100% up to $500 |
| BetUS | 9.3 | 100% up to $2,000 sports, 25% casino |
| Sportsbetting | 9.1 | 50% up to $250 in free bets |
| Xbet | 9.1 | 50% up to $200 on credit card deposits |
| MyBookie | 9.1 | 100% up to $1,000, new players |
| ApuestaHoy | 8.7 | 200% welcome offer |
Every offer above is the operator's advertised figure and carries its own rollover, minimum odds, time limit and eligibility rules. Read them on the operator's site before depositing; we don't set those terms and they change.
Money questions we get asked
Using any of these sportsbooks costs whatever you deposit and stake — nothing here is free, and a bonus you must deposit to unlock isn't free money. Reading Offshore Sportsbooks costs nothing.
On banking, the methods that generally apply to American customers at offshore operators are cryptocurrency (typically Bitcoin and a handful of altcoins, sometimes stablecoins), bank card deposits, bank wire, money transfer services, and player-to-player vouchers or transfers. Availability differs by sportsbook and changes without notice, so verify on the cashier page rather than trusting a list. Points worth checking before your first deposit:
- Crypto: usually the quickest withdrawal route and often the lowest fee, but network fees still apply and coin prices move. A payout denominated in Bitcoin can be worth less by the time it lands. Stablecoins reduce that exposure, not the network risk.
- Bank card: deposits are sometimes declined by US issuers, and cards are rarely usable for withdrawals — expect a different method going out than coming in.
- Bank wire and check: slowest, most likely to carry a fee, and most likely to trigger extra verification.
- Limits and fees: minimum and maximum payouts per transaction, free-withdrawal allowances per month, and currency conversion if your account isn't held in USD.
- KYC: lighter than regulated US sportsbooks in many cases, but documents are commonly requested at first withdrawal. Budget time for it.
Beyond sportsbooks: the other products these operators run
Most of the sites we cover aren't sportsbook-only. The same account usually opens onto an online casino with slots, table games and live-dealer rooms — BetUS, for example, advertises a separate casino element within its welcome offer. Many also run a racebook for horse racing, with its own pricing structure and rebates, and some add poker rooms or esports sections. Those products have separate bonus terms, separate rollover and sometimes separate payout limits from the sportsbook side. If you're contacting us about a casino bonus rather than a betting bonus, say so — the rules are rarely the same. UK readers who reach us by mistake can find our non-GamStop casino coverage instead.
Reporting a problem with an operator
- Exhaust the sportsbook's own support first — live chat, then email, and keep the transcript.
- Note dates, amounts, the payment method and any reference numbers.
- Screenshot the cashier page and the terms you were shown at the time.
- Send us the summary. We can't recover your money, but documented reports shape our ratings and warn the next reader.
What to expect from a reply
We answer messages in the order they arrive and prioritize corrections and payout reports, since both affect what other readers see. We don't publish your name or details, and we won't pass your information to an operator without asking you first. If you're writing while frustrated about a loss, please step away from the betting apps for a bit — and if the urge to chase it is there, 1-800-GAMBLER is a better first call than any sportsbook's live chat. Bet only what you can genuinely afford to lose, and treat every offshore account as money at risk.
