About Us
Offshore Casinos was built for one job: helping US players sort through offshore online casinos and work out which ones actually hold up on a phone or tablet, where most real-money play now happens. We're not a casino, we don't process bets, and we don't pretend these sites are something they're not. This page explains who we are, how we research the operators we list, and what we do and don't take responsibility for.
Why We Focus on Mobile
Most US players researching offshore casinos are doing it from a phone — checking a bonus on a lunch break, spinning a slot on the couch, or trying to withdraw winnings while away from a desktop. That reality shapes everything we cover: how a site's mobile browser handles table games, whether an app (where one exists) is stable, how fast a live-dealer stream loads on mobile data, and whether verification and withdrawals can actually be completed from a handset without friction. A casino with a huge game library that's clumsy or slow on mobile isn't much use to the reader who found this site searching on their phone in the first place.
What We Actually Do
- Research each operator's licensing, ownership and public track record before it's added to any list
- Compare game libraries, providers, bonus terms and banking options as advertised by the operator
- Read wagering requirements, deposit-match caps and time limits in full, not just the headline percentage
- Check what payment methods — including crypto — are listed, and what fees or limits are disclosed
- Note where mobile experience, app availability or live-dealer performance affects the overall picture
We do not deposit, wager or withdraw on behalf of readers, and we make no claim to have tested payout times ourselves. Where we describe processing times, bonus terms or limits, that information reflects what the operator publishes — it can change, and we'd rather say so than imply a guarantee we can't back up.
Where These Casinos Sit Legally
This is the part we won't soften: the operators on Offshore Casinos are licensed outside the United States — typically in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Anjouan or Costa Rica — and none of them are regulated by any US state gambling authority. For a player in a state without legal online casino gaming, that puts offshore casinos in a legal grey area, not a clearly sanctioned one. There's no US regulator standing behind these sites, no state-backed dispute process if a withdrawal is delayed or refused, and no guarantee that game outcomes have been independently tested to the standard a US-licensed site would require. Players should check their own state's laws before signing up, and treat any offshore site — however polished its app or mobile browser — as carrying more risk than a regulated US operator would.
How We Rank the Sites We Cover
Our ratings weigh a consistent set of factors across every operator: breadth and quality of the game library, clarity and fairness of bonus terms, range of deposit and withdrawal methods (including crypto), how the operator's payout speed and limits are described, licensing transparency, and how usable the site is on mobile. Commission from affiliate partnerships never buys a higher position — an operator paying us more does not move up the list, and one we don't earn from can still rank higher on merit. We also can't verify a site's internal payout data or licence status beyond what's publicly disclosed, so ratings reflect research and public information, not first-hand withdrawal testing.
A Snapshot of What's Compared
| Operator | Editorial rating | Headline offer |
|---|---|---|
| Raging Bull | 10.0 | 410% up to $10,000 + 50 Free Spins |
| Ignition | 9.8 | 300% Welcome Bonus up to $3,000 |
| Uptown Aces | 9.6 | 600% For New Players |
Bonus percentages and free-spin counts are the operator's own advertised terms and always come with wagering or rollover requirements, maximum bet limits, and expiry windows — details we set out on each individual review rather than repeating the headline number in isolation.
What We Won't Do
- We won't tell you an offshore casino is "safe" in the way a state-licensed operator is — the consumer protections simply aren't equivalent
- We won't present a bonus figure without also flagging that wagering conditions apply
- We won't suggest that any game or site can produce a reliable return, or that gambling is a way to solve money problems
- We won't write for, or knowingly serve, anyone under 21
Responsible Gambling Comes First
Every page on this site carries the same message: gambling should be entertainment, not a plan. Offshore casinos generally offer fewer built-in responsible-gambling tools and weaker self-exclusion options than regulated US operators, so it's worth setting your own limits before you ever deposit — a budget you can afford to lose, a time limit, and a decision in advance about when to stop. If gambling stops feeling like entertainment, free and 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, which covers self-exclusion tools and where to find support.
Independence and How We're Funded
Offshore Casinos earns revenue through affiliate partnerships — when a reader clicks through to an operator and signs up, we may receive a commission. That relationship never decides where an operator lands in our rankings or how a review is worded. If a site has a genuine limitation — slow withdrawal caps, thin mobile-specific game selection, or unclear licensing detail — we say so, even where we'd earn from a click-through. Our full terms of use are set out on our Terms and Conditions page.
Get in Touch
If something on this site looks out of date, if a bonus term has changed, or if you've spotted an operator issue we should look into, our Contact Us page is the fastest way to reach us. We'd also point UK-based readers researching sites outside the Gamstop scheme to our separate coverage on non-Gamstop casinos, which covers a different market with its own rules.
Everything on Offshore Casinos is intended for adults aged 21 and over in jurisdictions where offshore online gambling is not expressly prohibited. Nothing here is legal or tax advice — laws vary by state and change over time, so consult a qualified professional before relying on anything you read here to make a financial or legal decision.
