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.
June 2017 Update – What You Need to Know
Speeds have either improved or stayed the same at most sportsbooks. Bitcoin continues to be the premier cashier option in offshore online betting markets. There was a slowdown earlier in the month with BTC due to a high number of blockchain transactions, but these have mostly gone back to normal speeds.

- Checks are coming in at about the same speed as last month. They’re taking 1-2 weeks to reach players’ doorsteps, but most are closer to a week.
- Bank wires have taken longer than checks in previous months. We didn’t get much data on this method last month. Many customers are gone with Bitcoin or Litecoin over bank wires due to fees.
- Bitcoin continues to be the best cashier option. They have also added Litecoin to their cashier, which is another crypto-currency. Both are being processed in 48 hours or less and come with no fees.
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 |
June 2017 Update
- Bovada jumps up to an A+ this month due to their excellent payout speeds over the past 30 days.
- Bitcoin withdrawals aren’t always processed the 1-15 minutes now quoted by Bovada, but they’re close. Payouts rarely take more than an hour to process now via BTC.
- Check speeds have improved from last month’s 2-3 weeks to 1-2 weeks this month.
- 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 betting site that 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-$3,000 |
| Bitcoin | 1-2 Days | Free | $50-$25,000 |
| Bank Wire | 3-4 Days | $80, plus banking fees | $1,000-$3,000 |
| Cash Transfer | 1-2 Days | $30-70, depending on amount | $100-$680 |
June 2017 Update
- For the most part, 5Dimes exceeds their quoted time frames or exceeds them. Players have reported checks in just two business days in May. However, they have been issues with fraudulent charges on credit and debit card deposits. We’ve issues a warning on our 5Dimes Review and posted a news warning, as well.
- Checks are being processed at around the same rate last month. They take around one week to process, but players have reported getting their checks in less than three days.
- We highly recommend Bitcoin as the only cashier option worth using at 5Dimes. It’s by far the fastest method, with payouts being processed in less than 24 hours over the last month. The BTC speed improvement is the reason for the slight upgrade in rating since last month’s report.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Cash Transfer | 1-2 Days | $25-50, depending on amount | $100-$300 |

| Debit Card | 1-2 Days | $25 activation fee, $5 per transaction | $100-$2,500 |
June 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. Speeds haven’t changed much from month to month on checks and wires based our limited data.
- Bitcoin speeds continue to be near elite. Payouts are credited quickly, usually less than an hour. It appears that all BTC requests are being completed in 10 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 |

June 2017 Update
- Merge continues to chug along. Still far from a above-average processing speeds, but let’s remember they were taking 3 months to pay players for much of 2016.
- Checks continue to fall in the 2-3-week range based our last report. These used to take months and data is tough to come by on this method. We highly recommend Bitcoin when withdrawing at Sportsbook.ag.
- Bitcoin has stayed about the same over the past month. They’re taking around 3-4 days to process BTC withdrawals. This is much longer than other sites, but still a massive improvement over checks.
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.

June 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.

| Cash Transfer | 1-2 Days | $45 | $100-$300 |
June 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 are more trusted.
- Their rating drops slightly once again this month. Check speeds continue to lag behind other sites. They were taking about 1-2 weeks to reach players last month, but in May it’s been closer to 2-3 weeks.
- 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. Most payouts are processed in 5 hours or less.

- 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. March 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.
