Three mid-tier offshore books, three different reasons people look elsewhere, and one of them has a 2024 history worth knowing about before you deposit.
These three sit below the largest offshore operators in size and get grouped together in alternatives lists as though they are interchangeable. They are not, and the useful thing about covering them together is that each illustrates a different problem you should be checking for anywhere.

BetUS: read the deposit rollover
BetUS claims operation since 1994, which would make it among the longest-running books serving US players. Its own materials give conflicting licensing statements, describing both Curaçao and the Netherlands Antilles, the latter being a jurisdiction that ceased to exist in 2010. That is sloppy rather than sinister, and it is the sort of thing worth noticing.
The term that catches people. BetUS publishes a minimum one-times rollover on deposited funds, described in its terms as being there to prevent financial manipulation. That applies with no bonus claimed. Deposit, change your mind, and the withdrawal will not process until you have wagered the deposit once.
There is also a 72-hour hold on payouts following a credit card deposit, which is published and catches people who deposit by card then win quickly.
Bonus arithmetic. The headline welcome offer runs to 125 percent, split between a sports portion at 14x rollover and a casino portion at 30x. Baseball wagers count only half toward the rollover. On offshore terms that is a heavy requirement, and the practical guidance we give everywhere applies: compare the multiplier, not the percentage. We work through the maths in the promo threads guide.
Banking. Crypto deposits from $10 with no operator fee, crypto withdrawals $50 to $5,000 daily and free, non-crypto capped lower at $3,000 daily.
Xbet: check whether it is independent
We compared both operators’ own published banking pages. They match on card deposit ranges, person-to-person limits, a $20 crypto minimum across the same ten coins, and identical wording on payout processing times. Both also run their help centres on the same hosted knowledge base.
That establishes shared platform and operator infrastructure. It is not documented common ownership, because no regulator or court filing we found says so. But if you are considering Xbet as an alternative to MyBookie, or the reverse, you are probably not diversifying.
Beyond that, Xbet publishes remarkably little. Its footer carries no licensing statement, no operating entity and no address. We could not verify a founding year or a US state exclusion list from any primary source.
Tennessee issued a cease and desist and then fined Xbet $50,000 in April 2025 for continuing to operate.
JazzSports: the 2024 ownership change
This is the one we would most want you to know about, and we are going to be careful about how we put it.
What is reported. Industry press reported that an investor group acquired JazzSports’ assets in August 2024, that new management said it had discovered hidden debts and signs of theft by the previous owner, and that it disclaimed liability for older customer balances. Customers, described as mostly non-recreational, reported confiscated accounts and slow payments, with management characterising the closures as completing an account lifecycle.
What we can and cannot stand behind. This comes from trade press and affiliate blogs, with corroborating volume on betting forums. No regulator filing or court document we could find confirms it. We are reporting it as reported rather than as established, and you should weigh it accordingly. What we would say is that an ownership change accompanied by disclaimed customer balances is exactly the risk profile that makes offshore betting different from regulated betting, and it is worth knowing before you fund an account.
Separately, JazzSports publishes essentially nothing verifiable. No licensing statement, no operating entity, no address, no accessible banking terms. Tennessee’s regulator describes it as Costa Rica based and fined it $50,000 in July 2025. A 10 percent horse rebate is widely quoted, and every source we found for that figure was an affiliate page rather than the operator.
The transparency problem across all three
Something worth generalising from this group.
Of the eight major offshore books we checked, only two publish a list of US states they exclude. Most publish country restrictions and say nothing about states, placing the responsibility on the customer. Several publish no operating entity or licensing jurisdiction at all.
That means the confident state-by-state availability tables you find on comparison sites are, in most cases, not sourced from the operator. They are inference or repetition. We are not publishing one for that reason, and the practical advice is to ask support directly before depositing.
It also means the transparency itself is a data point. A book that publishes its withdrawal fees to the dollar, its rollover terms plainly and its state exclusions explicitly is telling you something about how it operates. A book with no entity on the footer is telling you something too.
How to compare an alternative
- Confirm independence. Compare banking pages against the book you are leaving. Matching crypto minimums and identical payout wording mean one operator.
- Find the deposit rollover before you fund. Several major books apply a one-times requirement with no bonus involved, and it is the most common cause of a stuck first withdrawal.
- Check who publishes what. Licensing, operating entity, state exclusions, withdrawal fees. Absence is information.
- Compare withdrawal ceilings and frequency, not just speed. Daily caps and one-per-week limits change the product more than processing time does.
- Compare rollover multipliers. A 14x or 30x requirement is a different offer from a 1x free play regardless of the headline.
- Keep balances low. The real offshore risk is commercial rather than legal, which we cover in is offshore betting safe.

Questions people ask
Are Xbet and MyBookie the same?
Their own published banking pages match on card limits, person-to-person limits, the crypto minimum and coin list, and payout wording, and both run help centres on the same hosted knowledge base. That is shared platform infrastructure. Common ownership is not documented by any regulator or court filing we could find.
Is JazzSports safe to use?
Trade press reported an ownership change in August 2024 after which new management disclaimed liability for older customer balances, with customers reporting confiscated accounts. No regulator or court document confirms this and we report it as reported. JazzSports also publishes no licensing statement or operating entity.
Does BetUS have a rollover on deposits?
Yes. BetUS publishes a minimum one-times rollover on deposited funds, applying with no bonus claimed. There is also a 72-hour hold on payouts following a credit card deposit.
Which US states do these books exclude?
None of the three publishes a US state exclusion list. Of the eight major offshore books we checked, only two do. Any state-by-state table you find elsewhere is unlikely to be sourced from the operator, so check with support before depositing.
