Offshore sportsbooks offer a broad mix of major U.S., international, and niche sports markets, often with more props and alternative lines than regulated apps. You’ll typically see everything from NFL and NBA games to global soccer, combat sports, and even esports.

They cover similar core sports as licensed apps like DraftKings and FanDuel but expand into markets that may be restricted or unavailable under state regulations.
