About Us — How We Review Offshore Sportsbooks

Offshore Gambling was built for one reason: US bettors researching offshore sportsbooks have to sift through a lot of noise, recycled marketing copy, and outdated bonus figures to find anything useful. This page explains who we are, how we put our comparisons together, and what we do and don't do.

What hisquad.net Actually Does

We research and compare offshore sportsbooks that accept players from US states without their own regulated online betting market. These are sportsbooks licensed outside the United States — commonly in jurisdictions like Curaçao, Panama, or Costa Rica — that operate independently of any US state regulator. We look at odds and pricing, sport and market coverage, welcome and reload bonuses, banking options including cryptocurrency, payout speed, and general reputation for actually paying customers. We turn that research into rankings and write-ups so readers can compare offshore sportsbooks side by side instead of starting from zero on every operator's own site.

We do not run a sportsbook, and we're not a betting exchange or tipster service. We're an independent comparison resource, and our job stops at giving you the information to make your own decision.

Being Straight About What Offshore Betting Is

This is the part we won't soften: offshore sportsbooks sit in a legal grey area for US bettors. They're licensed in other countries, not by any US state gaming commission, which means the consumer protections that come with regulated US betting — segregated player funds, formal dispute resolution, guaranteed payout enforcement — do not apply. If an offshore sportsbook delays a withdrawal or disputes a bet, there's no US regulator to appeal to. Laws around offshore betting also vary by state and change over time, so we'd encourage anyone reading this to check the current rules where they live before signing up anywhere. We're not in a position to give that a definitive legal answer, and anyone with tax or legal questions about offshore betting should talk to a qualified professional rather than rely on a comparison site.

How We Score and Rank Offshore Sportsbooks

Our rankings come from a consistent set of criteria applied to every operator we cover, not from who pays the most in referral commission. Commission from operators may fund this site, and some links on hisquad.net are commercial, but paying us does not move a sportsbook up the list. Here's what actually factors into a ranking:

Odds and pricing — how competitive the lines are on spreads, moneylines, and totals, including whether reduced-vig options exist
Market coverage — breadth of sports, prop bets, futures, and same-game parlay options, plus live/in-play betting
Bonus terms — not just the headline number, but the rollover requirements, minimum odds, and time limits attached to it
Banking — deposit and withdrawal methods, including crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and stablecoins like USDT and USDC), plus payout speed, limits, and any fees
Verification — what KYC documentation is required and how that affects withdrawal timing
Track record — how long an operator has been taking bets and paying customers without a pattern of unresolved complaints
Support — how accessible customer service is and whether mobile betting is well supported

We reassess these factors periodically because bonus terms, odds formats, and banking options change. This page was last fact-checked on Sep 7, 2026, but individual sportsbook reviews carry their own update dates.

Where Our Rankings Come From, and What We Cover

Our current lineup — including operators like Lucky Rebel, Bovada, BetOnline, BetNow, and the others featured across the site — is assessed against the criteria above using publicly available information: published terms, bonus structures, licensing disclosures, and how each operator presents its markets and banking options. We have not deposited, wagered, or withdrawn funds ourselves, and we don't claim to have done so. Where a detail isn't publicly confirmed — a specific payout time, a fee, a licence number — we say so rather than guess. If you want the full breakdown of what each sportsbook offers, our individual reviews and comparison pages go into detail on odds, bonuses, and banking for each one.

Responsible Gambling Comes Before the Rankings

Betting is entertainment, not a way to make money reliably, and no odds, bonus, or "system" changes that. Every page on this site is built for adults aged 21 and over, and nothing here is intended for anyone under that age. Offshore sportsbooks often have lighter responsible gambling tooling than regulated US operators — fewer self-exclusion options, less consistent deposit-limit enforcement — so it's worth checking what controls an operator actually offers before you rely on them. If gambling stops being fun, or you're chasing losses, betting more than you can afford, or using it to cope with stress, free confidential help is available around the clock through the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER. You can also read more on our Responsible Gambling page.

Questions, Corrections, or Feedback

If you've spotted something out of date on one of our reviews, or you have a question about how we scored a particular offshore sportsbook, we want to hear about it — accuracy matters more to us than any single ranking. You can reach the team through our Contact Us page. For the legal terms governing use of this site, see our Terms and Conditions.

Offshore Gambling exists to make comparing offshore sportsbooks less confusing, not to talk anyone into signing up. Read the terms behind any bonus, check your own state's rules, and only bet what you can afford to lose.
