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 2018 Update – What You Need to Know
Speeds continue to be excellent for most sites. Ratings have stayed around the same, but that’s not a bad thing considering how fast things are going for offshore betting sites at the moment. With most major sports finished and the NHL and NBA playoffs whinding down in the next month or so – there is little reason to think they can’t keep up with these speeds.
BetOnline Sportsbook
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. As far as players who want sports betting, poker, and casino options, BetOnline is one of the best “all-in-one” gambling sites online.
Sportsbetting.ag is a skin of BetOnline. They share the same odds, support, and cashier. Read our full review of BetOnline.
| Method | Quoted Time Frame | Fee | Min-Max Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Check | Within 15 Days | $25-50, depending on processing speed | $500-$2,500 |
| Bank Wire | Within 15 Days | $50-$100, plus banking fees | $500-$24,900 |
| Bitcoin | Within 48 Hours | Free | $20-$10,000 |
| Cash Transfer | Within 5 Days | $110 | $50-$400 |
| Litecoin | Within 48 Hours | Free | $20-$10,000 |
| ETH | Within 48 Hours | Free | $20-$10,000 |
| Dash | Within 48 Hours | Free | $20-$10,000 |
| BCH | Within 48 Hours | Free | $20-$10,000 |
June 2018 Update
- BetOnline has added more cryptocurrency cashier options, which include Ethereum and Dash. We don’t have speeds on these yet, but judging by their speeds with Bitcoin – they’re likely going to be quick.
- The speeds for BTC continues to impress. They are getting out to players within a few hours in many cases and no longer than a day. As of last month, they’re faster than just about any other sites and are crushing their 48-hour timeframe. Almost all withdrawals via BTC or other cryptos are being paid the same day, during the week. These are elite speeds and are reflected in our ranking.
- It’s tough to find check speeds at BetOnline, but going back several months, they seem to be processed and on players’ doorsteps in about 5-8 business days.
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 Sportsbook
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 |
| BCH | Within 48 Hours | Free | $20-$10,000 |
- Bitcoin speeds have slowed to around 48 hours. Bovada offers Bitcoin cash, which is an alternative to Bitcoin that is faster at the moment and has lower fees. This would be our top choice as a cashier method at Bovada until further notice. Two days is slower than other betting sites, but Bovada’s reliability still keeps them in the A range.
- 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 Sportsbook
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 |
June 2018 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 from players are sporadic, but one player did report receiving a check in just three business days.
- We highly recommend Bitcoin as the only cashier option worth using at 5Dimes due to their fraud issues with credit cards. Bitcoin speeds have been faster in the New Year, so far. Players have reported being paid in a few hours or the same day. However, many have complained that 5Dimes BTC to USD conversion rates have been off and that they are shorting players when they request payouts.
- 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 Sportsbook
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 |
June 2018 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 we did get a report of a player receiving a check in just 3 days in January.
- Bitcoin speeds have improved drastically over last month. They’re taking a few hours at the most and many customers report payouts in under one hour.
- Bookmaker has also added 50 different crypto-currencies to their cashier in addition to Bitcoin. We don’t have speeds on these yet.
- Bookmaker.eu has jumped into the A category and may get an A+ if these speeds keep up.
Sportsbook.ag Sportsbook
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 |
June 2018 Update
- Merge’s speeds were better than last year, but checks are now back to 3-4 weeks. They are paying players, but slowly.
- Merge’s BTC speeds seem to have improved over the past 30 days, but we are not going to adjust their rating just yet. A player reported being paid in just 2-3 days and one in just three hours. This would be a big upgrade and make them a much more viable option for sports bettors. They have soft odds compared to other sportsbooks and a lot betting markets. If you’re feeling confident they turned it around, go ahead and deposit now.
Intertops Sportsbook
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 |
June 2018 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 a week in most cases.
- Bitcoin is the fastest method available currently and comes with no fees. 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. Intertops speeds have slowed with the recent downturn in BTC transaction processing. We haven’t haven’t gotten enough data to get accurate speeds this month.
Heritage Sports Sportsbook
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 |
June 2018 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 even with the blockchain delays. Some have gotten their coins in 2 hours or less. It’s easily the better option over a check payout. They’re almost always beating their timeframe of 24 hours.
Nitrogen Sportsbook
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 |
June 2018 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.
- Some players have reported payouts not quite being instant and taking a few hours. One player reported up to 6 hours. We don’t see a reason to adjust their rating just yet, as they have a long track record of near-instant withdrawals.
