Terms and Conditions

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

What this site is and is not

Offshore Casinos is an independent information and comparison resource covering offshore online casinos that accept players from the United States, including operators reviewed with a focus on mobile play. We publish research, rankings and editorial opinion about casinos such as those named on this site — including Raging Bull, Ignition, Uptown Aces, Ducky Luck, Slots and Casino, Free Spins, Captain Jack, Zumba Cards, Casino Extreme and Dream Royale.

We are not a casino, a gambling operator, a bank, a payment processor or a licensed gambling business of any kind. We do not accept bets, hold player funds, process deposits or withdrawals, or control any operator's games, bonuses or payout decisions. Any account you open, deposit you make, or bet you place is a transaction between you and the operator in question, governed entirely by that operator's own terms — not ours.

Offshore status, licensing and the legal grey area

Every casino reviewed or listed on this site is licensed outside the United States — typically in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Anjouan or Costa Rica — and none of them is licensed or regulated by any US state gaming authority. Where we mention a licence, we are reporting what the operator itself discloses; we do not independently verify licensing status, and licensing information can change without notice.

Accepting players from US states with no regulated online casino market places these operators in a legal grey area. State laws vary, and the legality of playing at an offshore site can depend on where you live. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and we strongly recommend you check your own state's current gambling laws before registering with, or depositing at, any offshore casino. If you have questions about how the law applies to you, consult a qualified legal professional.

Because these operators sit outside US regulation, the protections that apply to licensed US gaming — segregated player funds, mandated dispute resolution, state-tested game fairness, guaranteed payout timeframes — do not apply here. An offshore casino may delay, limit or refuse a withdrawal, and we cannot compel any operator to pay out or resolve a dispute in your favor.

Editorial content, ratings and rankings

Ratings, rankings and comparisons published on this site reflect our own editorial assessment of factors such as game selection, bonus terms, banking options, payout speed and general site reliability, based on publicly available information and our own research. They are opinions, not guarantees of performance, payout, or outcome, and they can change as operators update their sites, bonuses or terms.

We do not fabricate reviews, testimonials or statistics, and we do not claim to have deposited, wagered or withdrawn funds at any operator we cover. Where we describe an offer, bonus percentage or promotion, that information is drawn from the operator's own published terms at the time of writing and is subject to change by the operator at any time. Always confirm current bonus terms — including wagering or rollover requirements, minimum deposits, game restrictions and expiry dates — directly with the operator before depositing.

Commercial relationships and affiliate links

Offshore Casinos may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to a listed casino and signs up. This is how the site is funded, and it does not affect how operators are ranked or reviewed. No operator can pay for a better rating, and we do not remove or soften a genuine drawback because a commercial relationship exists. If you would like to know more about how we assess operators, see our guide to the best offshore casinos for mobile play, which sets out the criteria we weigh.

Age and eligibility

This site, and the operators it covers, are intended for adults aged 21 and over (or the minimum legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, if higher). We do not knowingly direct content toward, or collect information from, anyone under that age. If you are under 21, you must not use this site or attempt to register with any casino listed here. Individual operators apply their own age-verification and account-eligibility checks, and it is your responsibility to confirm you meet all requirements — including any restrictions specific to your state — before registering.

Responsible gambling

Gambling carries a real risk of losing money, and offshore casinos carry the added risk that a payout may be delayed, limited or refused, with none of the recourse a US-regulated operator would offer. We do not present gambling as a way to make money, solve financial problems, or generate reliable income, and nothing on this site should be read that way.

If gambling stops being enjoyable, starts to feel compulsive, or is affecting your finances, relationships or wellbeing, please stop and seek support. Call or text the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER, or visit our Responsible Gambling page for tools and further resources. Offshore operators may offer weaker self-exclusion and account-limit tools than regulated US operators, so consider setting your own limits before you play, not after a loss.

No guarantees

Nothing on this site guarantees that you will win, break even, or recover money already lost. Payout speeds, game outcomes, bonus eligibility and account approval are all determined by the individual operator, not by us, and can vary from what is described in our content. We make reasonable efforts to keep information accurate as of the date shown on each page, but we do not warrant that any page is complete, current or error-free, and operator terms can change faster than we can update our content.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Offshore Casinos and its operators, contributors and affiliates are not liable for any loss, damage or dispute arising from your use of this site, your reliance on its content, or your dealings with any casino or payment provider mentioned here. This includes, without limitation, financial losses from gambling, delayed or refused withdrawals, account closures, bonus disputes, or losses related to cryptocurrency price movements between deposit and withdrawal. You use this site, and any linked operator, entirely at your own risk.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our content, our commercial relationships, or applicable law. The "updated" date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
