Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions govern your use of rivierasports.com (referred to here as "Offshore Gambling," "we," "our," or "us"). By browsing this site, reading our reviews, or clicking through to any offshore sportsbook we cover, you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

What This Site Is — and What It Is Not

Offshore Gambling is an independent research and comparison publisher. We review, score, and rank offshore sportsbooks that accept US bettors — operators licensed outside the United States, typically in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Panama, or Costa Rica. We are not a sportsbook, we do not accept wagers, and we do not process bets, deposits, or withdrawals on behalf of any user. Any account you open, any deposit you make, and any bet you place happens directly with the operator you choose, under that operator's own terms, not ours.

Nothing on this site should be read as a recommendation that betting is a safe or guaranteed way to make money. Sports betting carries real financial risk, and outcomes are never certain.

Eligibility and Age Requirements

This site, and the offshore sportsbooks it reviews, are intended strictly for adults aged 21 or older, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction if higher. We do not knowingly provide content to, or collect information from, anyone under that age. If you are underage, you must leave this site immediately.

Beyond age, eligibility to bet with any offshore sportsbook depends on your own state and local laws. Offshore sportsbooks are licensed outside the US and are not regulated by any US state gambling authority. Whether using them is permitted where you live is a legal grey area that varies by state and can change. We strongly encourage you to check your own state's current laws and, where appropriate, speak with a qualified legal professional before signing up anywhere. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice.

No US Regulatory Protections

Because the sportsbooks covered on this site are licensed offshore rather than by a US state regulator, the consumer protections that apply to regulated US operators — such as segregated player funds, mandated dispute resolution, or guaranteed payout timelines — do not apply here. If a dispute arises with an offshore sportsbook, you are relying on that operator's own policies and its offshore license, not on any US state agency. We disclose this plainly on every review, and we recommend treating it as a genuine risk factor rather than a formality.

How Our Reviews and Rankings Work

Our editorial content, including the rankings shown on pages such as our offshore sportsbook reviews for US bettors, is based on publicly available information about each operator: licensing details, bonus terms, market coverage, payment options, and reported payout practices. We score sites on factors including odds and pricing, market and sport coverage, bonus terms, banking and payout speed, and overall reliability. Commission arrangements with any operator never influence where that operator ranks — a site pays us nothing to appear higher on a list.

That said, our assessments are based on research and publicly reported information rather than firsthand account testing, and operator terms, bonuses, and licensing can change without notice. We update pages when we become aware of changes, but we cannot guarantee that every detail is current at the moment you read it. Always confirm current terms directly with the operator before signing up or depositing.

Commercial Disclosure

Offshore Gambling may earn a commission when you click through to, and sign up with, an offshore sportsbook featured on this site. This is how the site is funded. It does not cost you anything extra, and it does not change our ratings — operators cannot buy a better position, and we disclose limitations honestly even for top-ranked sites. You are free to visit any operator directly without using our links.

Bonuses, Promotions, and Advertised Offers

Where we display a welcome bonus or promotion — such as a percentage match, free bet, or reload offer — that figure comes directly from the operator and is subject to change at their discretion. Every bonus carries material conditions we try to note where available, including rollover or wagering requirements, minimum odds, game restrictions, and time limits. These conditions are set entirely by the operator, not by Offshore Gambling. You should always read the operator's full bonus terms before opting in, since a headline number without its conditions rarely tells the full story. We do not guarantee that any bonus will be honored exactly as advertised at the time you sign up, and we are not responsible for disputes over bonus eligibility or crediting.

Banking, Payouts, and Financial Risk

Offshore sportsbooks typically offer deposit and withdrawal methods that can include bank cards, bank wire or money transfer, vouchers, and cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or stablecoins like USDT and USDC. Processing times, minimums, maximums, and fees vary by operator and by method, and are set by the sportsbook, not by us. Crypto values can move significantly between the time you deposit and the time you withdraw, and that volatility risk sits entirely with you. We report what operators publish about payout speed and limits, but we cannot verify or guarantee that any specific withdrawal will be processed within a stated window, and an offshore sportsbook may delay, limit, or in rare cases refuse a payout. That possibility is a real risk of using an unregulated operator, and no content on this site should be read as a promise otherwise.

No Guarantee of Winnings

Nothing published on Offshore Gambling — including odds comparisons, bonus breakdowns, or operator rankings — implies or guarantees that you will win money, recover losses, or generate income from betting. Betting outcomes are uncertain by nature. We do not publish "guaranteed" picks, and any commentary on odds or markets is informational, not a prediction of results.

Responsible Gambling

We want this site to be useful without ever encouraging anyone to bet more than they can afford, chase losses, or treat gambling as a way to escape stress or financial pressure. Offshore sportsbooks may offer weaker self-exclusion and responsible gambling tools than regulated US operators, so it's worth reviewing what tools each operator actually provides before you rely on them. Our Responsible Gambling page has more detail on setting limits and recognizing warning signs. If gambling is causing harm, free confidential help is available 24/7 through the National Council on Problem Gambling helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER.

Accuracy, Liability, and Third-Party Sites

We take reasonable care to keep information on this site current, but sportsbook terms, licensing, bonuses, and payment options can change without notice, and errors can occur. We make no warranty, express or implied, about the completeness or accuracy of any content here, and we are not liable for losses arising from your use of this site or from your dealings with any third-party sportsbook. Clicking through to an operator takes you to a separate website with its own terms, privacy policy, and licensing — we have no control over that site's content or practices once you leave ours.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our content, our commercial arrangements, or applicable law. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms. We recommend checking this page periodically if you rely on our content regularly.
