Terms and Conditions | Offshore Sportsbooks

These terms govern your use of Offshore Sportsbooks at tdaaccount.org. They explain what this site is, what it is not, how our rankings and commercial relationships work, and what you agree to when you read our comparisons of offshore sportsbooks. By browsing the site you accept the terms set out below. Last reviewed Sep 25, 2026.

Age statement: this site is intended only for adults aged 21 or over. Some offshore sportsbooks set an 18+ minimum, but we do not market to anyone under 21, and you should not use this site or open a betting account if you are below the minimum age that applies to you.

What this site does and does not do

Offshore Sportsbooks is an independent publisher. We research and compare offshore sportsbooks — sportsbooks licensed outside the United States that accept US customers — and publish rankings, reviews and explanatory guides. We are not a sportsbook, we do not accept deposits, we do not hold customer funds, and we cannot place, settle, void or pay out a bet.

That distinction matters when something goes wrong. If a sportsbook delays a withdrawal, closes your account, voids a wager or applies a bonus term you did not expect, your contract is with that operator, not with us. We can describe what we found in our research and we are always interested in reader reports through our contact page, but we have no authority to intervene in a dispute, recover funds or force a payout.

Legal status of offshore sportsbooks, and your responsibility

Nothing on this site should be read as a statement that offshore betting sites are legal, licensed or regulated for you. The operators we cover hold licenses issued outside the United States — jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Panama and Costa Rica are common — and those licenses authorize the operator in the country that issued them. They do not authorize anyone to serve customers in a specific US state, and accepting US players is not the same thing as being approved to do so.

For a US bettor this is a legal grey area. Federal and state law treat online gambling differently, and the picture varies sharply by location:

Regulated states. A growing number of states license online sportsbooks and, in some cases, online casinos and racebooks through a state gaming commission or control board. Those licensed operators are subject to state oversight, dispute processes and player-protection rules.
States with no regulated online market. Many states have not authorized online sports betting at all. Bettors there often turn to offshore sites, but doing so takes place outside any state licensing framework.
States where it is expressly restricted. Some states prohibit online gambling outright, and a few address the act of placing a bet as well as the act of offering one.

You are responsible for knowing and following the law where you live. Where state rules are summarized on this site they are general information, current to our review date and subject to change. Tax treatment of gambling winnings, and the legality of any particular account, are matters for a qualified attorney or tax professional — we do not give legal or tax advice, and nothing here is a substitute for it.

No US player protections

Offshore sportsbooks do not offer the safeguards attached to a state-licensed operator. Assume none of the following apply unless the operator demonstrates otherwise:

Segregated or protected player funds
A state regulator or ombudsman you can escalate a complaint to
Any guarantee that a balance will be paid, or paid on the advertised timeline
Mandatory responsible gambling controls such as enforced deposit limits or a state self-exclusion register

The practical risk is straightforward: an offshore sportsbook can delay payment, restrict or limit an account, change terms, or in the worst case stop paying altogether, and your options for recourse are limited. We factor track record into our reviews, but past payment history is not a promise about the future, and no betting site can be described as completely safe.

Rankings, ratings and commercial relationships

Offshore Sportsbooks earns revenue through affiliate arrangements. When you follow a link to an operator and open an account, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. We state that plainly because it affects how you should read any comparison site, including this one.

Commission does not buy position. Our order is set editorially, using the factors below, and an operator cannot pay to be ranked higher or to have a limitation removed from its write-up. Some sportsbooks we cover have no commercial relationship with us at all.

Ratings shown on this site — for example the 10.0 alongside Lucky Rebel, 9.8 alongside Bovada or 9.7 alongside BetOnline — are our own editorial scores. They are not customer-review averages, not audit results, and not a prediction of your experience. We research and verify published information; we do not claim to have deposited, wagered or withdrawn at any operator.

What our scores are based on

Pricing and odds. Point spread and moneyline pricing, totals, whether reduced juice is offered and on which markets, and how futures are priced.
Market coverage. Depth across NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer, golf and MMA, plus prop bets, parlays, same-game parlays (SGP) and live or in-play betting.
Limits. Whether higher betting limits are available and how quickly accounts get restricted.
Banking. Cryptocurrency betting support, bank card deposits, bank wire, money transfer and voucher or player transfer options, with fees and minimums.
Payout speed and reliability. Advertised withdrawal timelines, payout limits, withdrawal fees and KYC requirements, distinguished from any claim we cannot verify.
Bonuses. Headline figure alongside rollover, minimum odds, time limits and eligibility.
Trust signals. Licensing claims, site security, customer support channels, and length of operating history.

Where a claim is an operator's own advertising rather than something we could confirm, we say so. Time-sensitive findings carry a date. More on our process sits on the about page, and the full comparison lives in our ranked review of offshore sportsbooks accepting US players.

Bonus terms are the operator's, not ours

Every welcome bonus, sign-up bonus and reload bonus described on this site belongs to the sportsbook offering it. We reproduce headline figures as advertised at our review date, and we state the material conditions we could verify. We cannot change, extend or honor an offer, and offers change without notice.

Before you claim anything, read the operator's own bonus rules. The figure is the least important part.

Operator	Advertised welcome offer	Editorial rating
Lucky Rebel	125% up to $1,250 + 50 FreeBet	10.0
Bovada	50% up to $250	9.8
BetOnline	$250 in free bets	9.7
BetNow	125% up to $2,500	9.6
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 with credit card	9.1
MyBookie	100% up to $1,000, new players	8.8
ApuestaHoy	200% welcome offer	8.8

All of these are subject to the operator's rollover or wagering requirement, minimum odds on qualifying bets, a time limit for completing the rollover, deposit method restrictions and new-customer eligibility. We do not publish a bonus figure on a review page without those conditions beside it; if you see a number here without them, treat it as an advertised headline only and check the sportsbook's terms.

How three of the listed operators sit in these terms

Lucky Rebel heads our list on the strength of its headline package — 125% up to $1,250 plus a 50 free bet — which is the largest percentage-plus-free-bet combination among the sportsbooks we track. A matched bonus of that size only pays off if you can clear the rollover within the stated window at the stated minimum odds, and a larger deposit match means a larger turnover obligation. The limitation worth stating plainly: it is a newer name than several sportsbooks below it, so there is less public payment history to research. Weigh that against the offer.

Bovada ranks second with a comparatively modest 50% up to $250 — deliberately so. Its position reflects a long operating history and broad coverage across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and soccer rather than bonus size. The drawback for value seekers is that Bovada is not a reduced-juice sportsbook, and bettors who win consistently report limits being applied. If price is your main criterion, the ranking above it is not a recommendation to stop looking.

BetOnline sits third on $250 in free bets, and is the most relevant of the three for bettors focused on props, live betting and crypto banking. Free bet credits typically exclude the stake from any return and carry their own minimum odds and expiry, which makes the headline worth less than an equivalent cash match. It is also one of the more complex sites for a newcomer, with a wide product spread that can obscure the sportsbook itself.

Each of those write-ups, and those for BetNow, Everygame, BetUS, Sportsbetting, Xbet, MyBookie and ApuestaHoy, is expanded on our main comparison page. Nothing in this section is advice to open an account.

Deposits, withdrawals and currency

Money moves between you and the operator, never through us. Payment availability for American customers changes frequently, so verify current options inside the cashier rather than relying on any published list, including ours.

Cryptocurrency. Usually the fastest route in and out at offshore sportsbooks, often with lighter verification. Crypto prices move, so the dollar value of a balance or a pending withdrawal can fall before it lands. Network fees apply and are separate from operator fees.
Bank card deposits. Widely offered but frequently declined by US issuers. Card deposits rarely support withdrawals.
Bank wire. Higher limits, slower, and typically carries a fee at both ends.
Money transfer and voucher or player transfer. Available at some sites for smaller amounts, with their own caps and charges.

Payout limits, withdrawal fees, free-withdrawal frequency and KYC requirements are set by each sportsbook. Lighter KYC at signup does not mean no KYC — identity documents are commonly requested at the first withdrawal, and that is where delays usually appear. Accounts are generally USD-denominated; where they are not, conversion costs apply.

The wider product range at these operators

Most of the sportsbooks on this site run other product lines alongside betting, and the terms differ between them. Casino sections — slots, table games and live-dealer rooms — usually carry separate bonuses with much higher rollover than sports offers, and sports bonus funds generally cannot be used there. BetUS, for example, advertises its 25% casino component separately from the sports match. Racebooks for horse racing operate on pari-mutuel pricing with their own rebate structures and rules on late scratches. Poker rooms, where offered, run on rake rather than a house margin. Treat each as a distinct account area with distinct conditions.

Accuracy, changes and content use

Information is published in good faith and checked as of the date shown, but odds, bonuses, banking options, limits and licensing details change without notice.
We may amend, remove or re-rank content at any time, and we may update these terms. Continued use of the site means you accept the current version.
Betting tips, previews and analysis on this site are opinion. No pick is a lock, no strategy removes the house edge, and nothing here should be treated as a route to income.
Our written content, rankings and ratings belong to Offshore Sportsbooks. You may quote briefly with attribution and a link; wholesale copying is not permitted. Operator names and logos belong to their owners.
To the extent the law allows, we accept no liability for losses arising from use of this site or from your dealings with any operator listed on it.

Responsible gambling

Betting costs money and most bettors lose over time. Only stake what you can afford to lose, set a limit before you deposit rather than after, and never bet to recover previous losses or to deal with stress or financial pressure. Offshore sportsbooks frequently lack the deposit limits, time-out functions, reality checks and self-exclusion registers that state-licensed operators are required to provide, so the controls have to come from you.

If gambling is causing harm to you or someone close to you, confidential help is available 24/7 in the US on 1-800-GAMBLER. Our responsible gambling resources page lists further support options and practical steps for limiting your play.
