Terms and Conditions | Offshore Gambling

These terms and conditions govern your use of metalair.org ("the site", "we", "us"). By browsing our reviews, comparisons and rankings of offshore sportsbooks, you agree to the terms set out below. If you don't agree with any part of them, please don't continue to use the site.

What this site does — and what it doesn't do

Offshore Gambling is an independent research and comparison publisher. We review, rate and rank offshore sportsbooks that accept US players — books licensed outside the United States, typically in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Panama or Costa Rica. We are not a sportsbook, a gambling operator, a bank, or a licensed gambling business of any kind. We do not accept wagers, hold customer funds, or process bets. Every operator named on this site — including fast payout offshore sportsbooks we highlight for US players — is a third party, and your relationship with any operator you sign up with is between you and that operator alone.

Offshore betting sits outside US regulation — read this before you click through

This is the single most important thing on this page. The sportsbooks reviewed here, including Lucky Rebel, Bovada, BetOnline, BetNow, Everygame, BetUS, Sportsbetting, Xbet, MyBookie and ApuestaHoy, operate under licences issued outside the United States. None of them are licensed or regulated by any US state gaming authority. That means:

No US state consumer protections apply — there is no state-backed dispute resolution, no segregated player-fund requirement, and no guarantee of payout if an operator delays or refuses one
Legality for the individual bettor varies by state and remains a grey area in much of the country — we do not advise you on whether using an offshore book is lawful where you live
Recourse if something goes wrong is limited largely to the operator's own complaints process and whatever oversight its offshore licensor provides

Before depositing anywhere, check your own state's current gambling laws. If you're uncertain about your legal position, consult a qualified attorney rather than relying on anything published here.

Our ratings and rankings are opinion, not guarantees

The editorial ratings and rankings shown on this site — such as those given to the ten offshore books listed above — reflect our own research into odds quality, market coverage, bonus terms, payout speed, banking options and reputational track record. They are opinions formed at the time of review, not customer-review scores, and not a certification of legality, financial stability, or future performance. Payout speeds, bonus terms and betting limits can change without notice; always confirm current terms directly with the operator before relying on anything stated on this site.

Bonuses carry conditions — verify them before you rely on our summaries

Where we mention a welcome offer, reload bonus or promotion — for example the headline offers shown against each operator in our rankings — these are subject to rollover or wagering requirements, minimum odds, time limits and eligibility rules set by the operator, not by us. We do our best to note material conditions where they're supplied to us, but bonus terms change frequently. Nothing on this site should be read as a promise that a bonus is available, that its value is guaranteed, or that winnings from it are risk-free.

No guarantee of winnings, and no advice to bet beyond your means

Nothing on metalair.org should be read as a promise or implication that betting will produce profit or income. Sports betting carries a real risk of losing money, and offshore betting carries the additional risk that an operator may delay, restrict, or refuse a payout with no US state authority to compel it. We do not present tips, picks or predictions as guaranteed outcomes, and we do not encourage betting more than you can afford to lose or chasing losses to recover them. If gambling stops being enjoyable or starts to feel out of control, visit our Responsible Gambling page or call 1-800-GAMBLER for free, confidential support.

Age and eligibility

This site and the operators it reviews are intended strictly for adults of legal betting age in their jurisdiction — 21 or over in most US states, and never below 18 under any circumstance. By using this site you confirm you meet the legal age requirement where you live and that engaging with offshore betting sites is not prohibited under your local law. We do not knowingly direct content at, or collect information from, anyone under the applicable age minimum.

Affiliate relationships and how we're funded

Offshore Gambling earns commission when readers click through to an operator and sign up. This is disclosed on our comparison pages and is how the site stays free to use. Commission never determines an operator's position or rating — Lucky Rebel's top ranking, for instance, reflects our research, not payment received. You can read more about how we approach reviews on our About Us page.

Accuracy of information and our liability

We take reasonable care to keep operator details, bonus terms and rankings current as of our last review, but offshore sportsbooks change their offers, licensing status and policies without warning, and we cannot guarantee that every figure or term is accurate at the moment you read it. Content on this site is provided for general informational purposes only and is not financial, legal or tax advice — for anything tax-related arising from betting activity, consult a qualified professional. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Offshore Gambling and its operators are not liable for any loss, financial or otherwise, arising from your use of this site or your dealings with any offshore sportsbook mentioned here.

Intellectual property and acceptable use

The text, comparisons, ratings and design of metalair.org belong to Offshore Gambling unless otherwise credited. You may read and share our content for personal, non-commercial use, but you may not copy, republish or scrape substantial parts of the site without our permission. You agree not to use the site for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could damage, disable or impair its operation.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms and conditions from time to time as our content, partnerships or the offshore betting landscape evolve. The version published here at any given time is the one that applies, and the date badge at the top of this page reflects when it was last updated. We recommend checking back periodically if you're a regular reader.
