U.S. Offshore Online Sportsbook Payout Report
Our report focuses on offshore payment processing speeds for sportsbooks that mostly cater to American-based customers. This article will be updated once a month, about three weeks into the month with updated processing speeds for each available method.Our data is gathered from a number of sources, including poker and sports betting forums, industry contacts, and from our staff’s personal withdrawal speeds.
Our goal with this report is to give bettors up to date speeds from offshore sports betting sites, which can be tough to come by in today’s climate. This report covers cashier costs and speeds but doesn’t cover other aspects of the sportsbook.
Sportsbook Reports
We offer extensive reviews of each sportsbook on our list, which will we link to below. We recommend reading over those for an in-depth insight into each operator.
September 2017 Update – What You Need to Know
Payout speeds have been better than last month. Most of our top betting sites in the industry are doing a better job than last month, with a few exceptions. Bitcoin is by far the most reliable cashier option and is available at every sportsbook on our list.
BetOnline
SBS Grade:
BetOnline has come along in recent years and is now an elite option for U.S. based online sports bettors. They are one of the most trustworthy sites in the industry and have a large list of cashier options.

| Litecoin | Within 48 Hours | Free | $20-$10,000 |
September 2017 Update
- BetOnline has improved on last month’s speeds. We have jumped them up to a A+ due to an improvement in check speeds and continued quick payouts with other methods, especially Bitcoin.
- After stretching into two weeks last month, checks are being delivered in one week or less.
- Bitcoin and Litecoin continue to be the best cashier option. Almost all payouts are being processed in 24 hours or less. The fastest payout we’ve heard from players took just six hours to process.
BetOnline has a proven track record of reliable payouts. For those that want to place bets and safely withdraw your winnings, sign up and bet at BetOnline.
Bovada
SBS Grade:
Bovada is one of the elite options for bettors based in the United States. Their processing speeds have been among the best for past several years, and they are one of the safest bets in the offshore market. Read our full review of Bovada.
It’s important to note that not all players will have the same methods for withdrawals listed on their account. Check and Bitcoin is available for all players at Bovada, but depending on your account, you may or may not have bank wire, Visa Fast Funds, or MoneyGram.
| Method | Quoted Time Frame | Fee | Min-Max Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Check | 10-15 Days | $50 | $50-$3,000 |
| Bank Wire | 10-15 Days | $50, plus banking fees | $1,500-$9,500 |
| Bitcoin | 1-15 minutes | Free | $50-$9,500 |
September 2017 Update
- Bovada keeps it going with another excellent month. We are not moving our A+ rating for our top-ranked sportsbook.
- Bitcoin withdrawals aren’t always processed the 1-15 minutes now quoted by Bovada, but many of them are. If you’re using Bitcoin, Bovada is getting close to instant-cashout territory.
- Check speeds are still right around 1-2 weeks. These numbers have been consistent for quite some time. BetOnline and Intertops are the only sites that process checks faster than Bovada on our list.
- Bank wires are not available for some users. Speeds on wires are harder to find, but they’re most likely being processed at the same speed as checks or slightly longer. We recommend Bitcoin instead, as it has lower fees and the same maximum payout amount.
Bovada offers you the fastest and most secure deposit and withdrawal options in the market today. Become a member of Bovada to enjoy the fast and reliable payouts. They are a sportsbook that has been around forever but continues to improve and offers some of the best odds you can find online.
5Dimes
SBS Grade:
5Dimes is a pioneer in offshore betting markets. They have been online since the turn of the century, giving them 16 years in the online betting industry. Their processing speeds rarely change much, and they’re among the fastest in today’s market. Read our full review of 5Dimes.
| Method | Quoted Time Frame | Fee | Min-Max Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Check | 7-10 Days | $40-80, depending on amount | $1,000-$7,500 |
| Bitcoin | 1-2 Days | Free | $50-$25,000 |
| Bank Wire | 3-4 Days | $80, plus banking fees | $1,000-$9,500 |
| Cash Transfer | 1-2 Days | $15-35, depending on amount | $100-$450 |
September 2017 Update
- For the most part, 5Dimes exceeds their quoted time frames or exceeds them. Players have reported checks in just two business days this month. However, they have been issues with fraudulent charges on credit and debit card deposits. We’ve issued a warning on our 5Dimes Review and posted a news warning, as well.
- Checks and bank wire speeds are extremely difficult for us to find data on. From the latest data we have, wires and checks are taking 1-2 weeks.
- We highly recommend Bitcoin as the only cashier option worth using at 5Dimes due to their fraud issues
- We’re not happy about the ongoing credit and debit card fraud issues at 5Dimes, but they are still paying players in reasonable, but not elite, timeframes. We highly advise against using a debit or credit card to deposit at 5Dimes, go with Bitcoin instead.
Bookmaker.eu
SBS Grade:
Bookmaker is one of the sharpest sportsbooks on the planet. In some form, Bookmaker has been around since 1985. They take the biggest bets in the offshore world and have never slow-paid a single player since they opened their virtual wagering doors in 2000. Payment processing speeds at Bookmaker.eu are always in the upper tier of rates.
Read our full review of Bookmaker.
BetDSI.eu is a popular skin of Bookmaker.eu. The betting companies share ownership but may have slightly different bonuses offers and odds. They both share the same support staff and payment processors.
| Method | Quoted Time Frame | Fee | Min-Max Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash Transfer | 1-2 Days | $25-50, depending on amount | $100-$300 |
| Check | Up to 7 Days | $50 | $100-$3,000 |
| Bitcoin | Less than 30 Minutes | Free | $100-$25,000 |
| Debit Card | 1-2 Days | $25 activation fee, $5 per transaction | $100-$2,500 |
September 2017 Update
- Bookmaker’s speeds are the toughest on our list to find data on, which is probably partly because they are so sharp that they are rarely beaten for large sums of cash.
- Check and bank wire data has been hard to come, but checks at Bookmaker are being processed in the standard timeframe of about two weeks.
- Bitcoin speeds continue excellent. They’re not quite as fast as other sites, but everything seems to be processed within 24 hours or less.
Sportsbook.ag
SBS Grade:
Jazzette Enterprises has long been a part of the offshore betting markets. Though they’ve had their issues in recent years with withdrawal speeds, their rates have returned to acceptable levels in the first quarter of 2017. Read our full review of Sportsbook.ag.
Sportsbook.ag and other Merge Gaming sites stopped accepting new U.S. players in June 2016. However, they began accepting new accounts from players before the start of the 2016 NFL football season.
PlayersOnly.ag and CarbonSports.ag are both skins of players only. These sites all share the same cashier and are a part of the Merge Gaming Network.
| Method | Quoted Time Frame | Fee | Min-Max Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Check | 6-8 Weeks | 3% of amount | $50-2,500 |
| Bank Wire | 3-5 Weeks | 3% of amount, plus banking fees | $500-$5,000 |
| Bitcoin | 3-7 Days | 5% of amount | $50-$5,000 |
September 2017 Update
- Merge’s speeds were better than last year, but checks are now back to 3-4 weeks. They are paying players, but slowly.
- We have also seen a downgrade in BTC speeds from just a few days to now 4-5 days or longer in some cases. This is unreasonably slow for BTC payouts and they also charge a 5% fee on BTC withdrawals. They do offer reload bonuses on every deposit, but the fees on Bitcoin deposits are absurd considering that almost every other site charges no fees for BTC payouts.
Intertops
SBS Grade:
Intertops, the world’s first online sportsbook, has been one of the most consistent in processing speeds as long as we can remember. There are fewer safer bets in the industry than Intertops. Read our full review of Intertops.
| Method | Quoted Time Frame | Fee | Min-Max Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Check | 5 Days | $50 | $150-$3,000 |
| Bank Wire | 10-15 Days | $50, plus banking fees | $150-$2,500 |
| Bitcoin | 1-2 Days | Free | $100-$2,500 |
September 2017 Update
- Intertops has always been consistent with their cashier speeds. Their rating stays at an A or better unless their speeds truly drop off.
- Intertops’ excellent check and bank wire speeds are excellent. We have less data on wires but checks are being processed in under week in most cases.
- Bitcoin is the fastest method available currently and comes with no fees. These are processed quickly, usually within the same business day, but can take up to 48 hours. BTC speeds have been consistently for months now and there are no fees. The one thing keeping us from giving them an A+ is that their maximum payout per week with Bitcoin is still just $2,500.
Heritage Sports
SBS Grade:
Heritage is another bookmaker that goes back nearly two decades. Quietly, their speeds have remained consistent for years. They recently opened their doors again (the sportsbook was invite-only for some time) to accept new customers. Read our full review of Heritage Sports.
| Method | Quoted Time Frame | Fee | Min-Max Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Check | 10-15 Days | $50 | $500-$3,000 |
| Bank Wire | 3-7 Days | $75, plus banking fees | $10,000-no max |
| Bitcoin | Same Day | Free | $100-$3,000 |
| Cash Transfer | 1-2 Days | $45 | $100-$300 |
September 2017 Update
- Heritage has long been one of the most trusted bookmakers online. Their speeds may not be elite, but they’re always in the upper echelon of sites. Also, there are few sportsbooks that more trustworthy.
- Speeds have stayed the same with checks for the most part. They took about one-week last month and are right about the same timeframe for July.
- Pay2Card and MoneyGram are no longer available as a cashier option.
- Bitcoin continues to be extremely fast at Heritage. It’s easily the better option over a check payout. They’re almost always beating their timeframe of 24 hours. Many payouts are processed in just a few minutes.
Nitrogen
SBS Grade:
Nitrogen Sports has risen to be one of the most popular sportsbooks since they launched in 2012. Unlike most other sportsbooks on this list, Nitrogen accepts wagers and holds balances solely in Bitcoin. They offer no other methods for deposits and withdrawals. There are no fees with Bitcoin at Nitrogen. Read our full review of Nitrogen Sports.
| Method | Quoted Time Frame | Fee | Min-Max Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | Instant | Free | $0-Unlimited |
September 2017 Update
- Nitrogen processes withdrawals faster any other site in the industry. Most withdrawals are automatic. They almost never take more than a few hours to receive. Most receive their Bitcoin payouts in a matter of minutes.
- Their speeds each month rarely change. July was another banner month for them. They offer the fastest payouts by a large margin when it comes to offshore betting markets and there are no fees for deposits or withdrawals.
