Terms and Conditions

These terms explain how thatsthehookup.com operates, what our content is (and isn't), and what you agree to by using this site. By browsing thatsthehookup.com, you accept the terms below. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the site.

What This Site Is — and Isn't

Best Offshore Sportsbooks is an independent research and comparison resource covering offshore sportsbooks that accept US bettors — books licensed outside the United States, typically in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Panama, or Costa Rica. We publish reviews, rankings, and comparisons based on publicly available information about odds, market coverage, bonuses, banking options, and payout reliability.

We are not a sportsbook, a gambling operator, a licensed gaming business, or a regulator. We do not accept wagers, process deposits, or hold customer funds. We do not offer betting picks as guaranteed outcomes, and nothing on this site should be read as financial or investment advice. Betting involves risk, and you can lose the money you stake.

Offshore Sportsbooks Sit Outside US Regulation

Every operator discussed on this site is licensed in a foreign jurisdiction, not by any US state gaming authority. That distinction matters:

• No US state regulator oversees these books, licenses their operations, or audits their finances.
• Player protections common to regulated US operators — segregated player funds, formal dispute resolution through a state agency, guaranteed payout timelines — do not apply.
• Whether it's lawful for you personally to use an offshore sportsbook depends on your state's laws, which vary and change. We do not provide legal advice, and nothing here should be treated as a legal opinion on your situation. If you're unsure, consult a qualified attorney in your state.
• Tax obligations on any winnings are a separate matter from legality of use. General references to tax on this site are informational only — consult a qualified tax professional for guidance specific to your circumstances.

For a side-by-side look at how individual offshore books compare on licensing, banking, and payout track record, see our offshore sportsbooks compared for US bettors page.

How We Research and Rank Operators

Our editorial team reviews publicly listed odds, promotional terms, banking pages, and available reputation history for each operator we cover. Editorial ratings reflect our own assessment of factors like pricing, market range, bonus terms, and payout practices as we understand them at the time of review. We do not deposit, wager, or withdraw funds with these operators, and we make no claim to have tested payout speed or customer support firsthand.

Some operators listed on thatsthehookup.com have referral or affiliate arrangements with us, meaning we may earn a commission if you sign up through a link on this site. This has no bearing on how operators are ranked or reviewed — commercial relationships do not buy placement, and our ratings are based on the same criteria across every operator covered.

Bonus and Promotional Information

Welcome offers, reload bonuses, and other promotions referenced on this site — including figures like percentage match amounts, free bet credits, and rollover requirements — are drawn from information published by the operators themselves and are subject to change without notice. Rollover requirements, minimum odds conditions, eligible markets, and time limits always apply to these offers. Always confirm the current terms directly with the operator before opting in to any promotion. We are not responsible for promotional terms that change after publication, or for a bonus being unavailable, altered, or withdrawn by the operator.

Accuracy and Content Limitations

We update pages periodically and note the last update date on each page, but odds, bonus terms, licensing details, and payout practices at offshore operators can change quickly and without warning. We make reasonable efforts to keep content current as of the fact-check date noted, but we cannot guarantee that every detail is accurate at the moment you read it. Always verify current terms, licensing status, and banking options directly with the operator before signing up or depositing.

Nothing on this site guarantees you will win, profit, or recover losses. Past results, bonus payouts, or payout speed reported for one bettor do not predict what will happen for another. Betting outcomes are uncertain by nature.

Your Responsibilities as a User

1. You must be at least 21 years old (or the minimum legal betting age in your jurisdiction, if higher) to use information on this site related to sports betting. This site is not directed at anyone under that age.
2. You are responsible for confirming that using an offshore sportsbook is lawful under your own state's laws before signing up anywhere.
3. You are responsible for completing any identity verification (KYC) an operator requires and for reading that operator's own terms, privacy policy, and banking rules before depositing.
4. You should never bet more than you can afford to lose, and you should not use betting to cope with stress, debt, or other personal difficulties.

Responsible Gambling

Gambling should stay entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Offshore sportsbooks may offer fewer built-in responsible gambling tools — such as deposit limits or self-exclusion — than regulated US operators, so it's worth checking what controls, if any, an operator provides before you sign up. If gambling stops feeling fun, or is affecting your finances, relationships, or wellbeing, help is available. Call or text the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER, free and confidential, 24/7. See our responsible gambling page for more support resources and self-check tools.

Limitation of Liability

Best Offshore Sportsbooks and its operators are not liable for any losses, damages, or disputes arising from your use of a third-party sportsbook, including delayed, reduced, or refused withdrawals, account restrictions, or changes to bonus terms. We provide research and comparison content only; the relationship, and any funds involved, exist solely between you and the operator you choose to use.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our content, our review process, or applicable law. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent update. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms.
