Terms and Conditions | Site Use Policy

These terms and conditions set out the rules for using webmediabrands.com, an independent information and comparison resource covering offshore sportsbooks that accept US bettors. By browsing this site, reading our reviews, or clicking through to any operator listed here, you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

What this site is and is not

Offshore Betting Sites publishes research, reviews, rankings and comparisons of offshore sportsbooks — betting operators licensed outside the United States that accept players from US states without their own regulated online betting market. We are a media and comparison publisher only. We are not a sportsbook, we do not accept wagers, we do not hold customer funds, and we are not affiliated with any state gaming regulator or any US gambling authority.

Nothing on this site should be read as legal, financial, or tax advice. Where we mention tax treatment of gambling winnings or the legal status of offshore betting in a given state, that information is general in nature. Laws vary by state and change over time, so you should consult a qualified attorney or tax professional about your own circumstances before relying on anything you read here.

Offshore betting sits in a legal grey area

This is the single most important thing to understand before using any information on this site. The sportsbooks we cover — including those featured in our rankings — are licensed by offshore jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Panama, or Costa Rica. None of them are licensed or regulated by any US state gaming commission.

That distinction matters. It means:

No US state consumer protections apply to funds held with these operators — there is no state-mandated segregation of player funds, no state dispute resolution process, and no guarantee of payout.
Whether it is lawful for you personally to bet with an offshore operator depends on the laws of your specific state, which we do not track comprehensively on every page and which can change without notice.
An offshore operator's track record of paying players promptly, however long-standing, is not a legal guarantee that it will continue to do so.

We report on reputation, payout history, and licensing status as part of our research, but that reporting reflects what we have found at the time of review — it is not a warranty of legality, solvency, or future performance. You use any offshore sportsbook entirely at your own risk, and you are responsible for confirming what your own state's law permits before you sign up or deposit anywhere.

How we rank and present offers

Sportsbooks featured on webmediabrands.com, including Lucky Rebel, Bovada, BetOnline, BetNow, Everygame, BetUS, Sportsbetting, Xbet, MyBookie, and ApuestaHoy, are assessed on factors such as odds quality, market coverage, live and in-play betting features, banking options, payout speed, and general reputation. Editorial ratings shown on this site reflect our own research and judgment, not customer reviews or independent audits, and they are not a guarantee of any operator's future conduct.

Welcome bonuses and promotions displayed alongside each operator carry material conditions — rollover or wagering requirements, minimum odds, time limits, and eligibility restrictions — set by the operator, not by us. These terms can change without notice on the operator's own site. Always confirm the current, full terms directly with the sportsbook before you deposit or claim any offer. Nothing described as a "bonus" or "free bet" is free of conditions; you may be required to deposit and wager your own money to qualify.

Commercial relationships and how we're funded

Offshore Betting Sites may earn a commission when readers click through to a featured sportsbook and sign up. This is how we fund our research and keep the site free to use. Commission never determines an operator's ranking or rating on this site — our editorial assessments are made independently of any payment arrangement, and we do not accept payment in exchange for a better score or a guaranteed placement.

No guarantee of outcome

Nothing on this site should be understood as a promise or prediction of winnings. Sports betting carries genuine financial risk, including the risk of losing the full amount wagered. We do not present tips, picks, or odds analysis as guaranteed outcomes, and no content here should be treated as investment or income advice. You should never bet more than you can afford to lose, and you should never use betting to try to recover previous losses.

Age and eligibility

This site, and the sportsbooks it reviews, are intended solely for adults of legal betting age in their jurisdiction — 21 or older in most cases, though the minimum age set by an individual operator may differ. If you are under the applicable legal age, you must not use this site or attempt to register with any operator featured on it. We do not knowingly direct any content toward minors.

Responsible gambling

Betting should stay entertainment, not a source of financial or personal stress. Offshore sportsbooks are not required to offer the same responsible-gambling tools or self-exclusion programs that regulated US operators provide, so it's worth checking what controls — deposit limits, cool-off periods, self-exclusion — an operator actually offers before you rely on them. If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, or wellbeing, free confidential help is available around the clock through the National Council on Problem Gambling at 1-800-GAMBLER. Our Responsible Gambling page has further guidance and support resources.

Content accuracy and site changes

We research operator terms, bonus offers, and features carefully, including for pages such as our comparison of offshore sportsbooks for live betting, but operator sites change frequently and we cannot guarantee that every detail on our pages is current at the moment you read it. Always verify bonus terms, market coverage, and payout methods directly with the operator before acting on anything published here. We may update, correct, or remove any page on this site at any time without prior notice, and we may revise these terms and conditions periodically — continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Limitation of liability

Offshore Betting Sites provides information "as is," without warranty of any kind. We are not responsible for losses, disputes, delayed or refused withdrawals, account restrictions, or any other issue arising from your dealings with a third-party sportsbook, whether or not it is featured on this site. Any agreement you enter into with a sportsbook is between you and that operator alone.
