Terms and Conditions

These terms govern your use of geekfriendly.org ("the site," "we," "us"). By browsing our reviews, rankings, or any other page here, you agree to the terms below. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the site. These terms may be updated from time to time, and the version in effect is the one published at the time you access the site.

What this site is and what it isn't

Offshore Gambling is an independent information and comparison resource covering offshore sportsbooks that accept bets from US-based players. We are not a sportsbook, we do not accept wagers, hold customer funds, or process bets of any kind. We publish research, editorial rankings, and general information about operators licensed outside the United States. Nothing on this site is an invitation to gamble, and nothing here should be read as a recommendation that gambling is a suitable activity for any particular reader.

Every operator discussed on this site — including Lucky Rebel, Bovada, BetOnline, BetNow, Everygame, BetUS, Sportsbetting, Xbet, MyBookie, and ApuestaHoy — is licensed offshore, typically in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Panama, or Costa Rica. None of these operators are licensed or regulated by any US state gaming authority. That means the consumer protections a regulated US sportsbook would provide — segregated player funds, state-backed dispute resolution, mandated payout guarantees — do not apply. Using an offshore sportsbook sits in a legal grey area for US bettors, and laws vary by state. You're responsible for checking your own state's laws before signing up with any operator we mention.

Editorial independence and how we're funded

We may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to an operator and signs up, through affiliate partnerships with some of the sportsbooks listed on this site. This is how the site is funded, and it costs you nothing extra. Commission arrangements never determine our rankings or ratings — an operator paying us does not move it up the list, and an operator not paying us does not get pushed down. Our review methodology is based on factors like odds competitiveness, market coverage, mobile usability, banking options and payout speed, security signals, and customer support quality, weighed the same way across every book we cover.

That said, you should treat our content as one input among several, not a final word. Ratings and rankings reflect our editorial judgment at the time of publication and can change as operators update their offerings, bonus terms, or platforms.

Accuracy of the information we publish

We make a reasonable effort to keep odds descriptions, bonus terms, banking details, and other operator information current, but sportsbooks change their promotions, wagering requirements, minimum deposits, and mobile app features without notice. Figures like bonus percentages and caps — for example, the offers referenced on our rankings page — reflect what an operator advertised as of our last check, not a live feed. Always confirm current terms, including rollover or wagering requirements, minimum odds restrictions, and eligibility rules, directly with the operator before depositing or claiming any promotion. We are not liable for losses arising from outdated or changed offer terms, technical issues on an operator's platform, or an operator's failure to pay out.

Risks you accept by using offshore sportsbooks

This is the core thing these terms want you to understand clearly:

• Offshore sportsbooks are not regulated by any US state. There is no state fund-protection scheme, and no state regulator to escalate a complaint to if a book delays or refuses a payout.
• Betting involves a real risk of losing the money you wager, on every single bet, regardless of odds, research, or "can't-lose" system someone tries to sell you. We never suggest otherwise, and nothing on this site guarantees a win, a profitable outcome, or a reliable income.
• If you deposit or withdraw using cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or stablecoins like USDT/USDC), you're also exposed to crypto price volatility between the time you fund an account and the time you withdraw.
• Offshore books generally use lighter identity verification (KYC) than regulated US operators, which cuts both ways — faster signup, but less oversight if something goes wrong.
• Responsible gambling tools and self-exclusion programs at offshore books are often less developed than at regulated US sportsbooks. If you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, stop and reach out for help — the National Council on Problem Gambling helpline, 1-800-GAMBLER, is free and confidential. Our Responsible Gambling page has more resources and self-check tools.

Age and eligibility

This site, and every operator we cover, is intended strictly for adults aged 21 or older (or the higher age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly provide content to, or collect information from, anyone under that age. If you are under 21, please leave this site now. Eligibility to actually open an account with any offshore sportsbook is set by that operator, not by us, and may depend on your state of residence — some operators restrict certain states outright.

Your responsibilities as a reader

1. Confirm your own state's current stance on offshore and online sports betting before creating an account anywhere.
2. Read an operator's own terms, including bonus rollover requirements and withdrawal policies, before depositing.
3. Never bet more than you can comfortably afford to lose, and never treat betting as a way to recover a prior loss or escape financial pressure.
4. Verify your identity promptly if an operator requests it — our Support & Verification Process page explains what that typically involves.
5. Speak to a qualified tax or legal professional about how gambling winnings or offshore transactions may affect you; nothing here is tax or legal advice.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Offshore Gambling and its operators are not liable for any loss, damage, or claim arising from your use of this site, your reliance on its content, or your dealings with any third-party sportsbook it mentions. This includes, without limitation, losses from wagering, delayed or denied withdrawals by an operator, account restrictions, technical failures, or changes to bonus terms after publication. You use the information on this site, and any offshore sportsbook, entirely at your own risk.

Third-party links and content

Links to sportsbook operators take you to sites we don't control and aren't responsible for. Their own terms of service, privacy policy, and responsible gambling tools apply once you leave our site. We encourage you to read them.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms at any time to reflect changes in our editorial process, the operators we cover, or applicable law. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
