Answer: It depends on your jurisdiction. Offshore sportsbooks operate outside US state regulation, and whether you may use them varies by state and country — it’s your responsibility to check your local laws. In the US, Bet105 also offers a social sportsbook model available in 48 states. This is informational, not legal advice.

Key takeaways

• Offshore means not regulated by any US state.
• Legality varies by your location — check local law.
• In the US, Bet105’s social sportsbook model is available in 48 states.

Why this matters

The “is it legal” question is really “is it legal where I am” — the answer differs by jurisdiction.

The Bet105 difference

People often conflate “unregulated” with “illegal.” Operating outside state regulation is not the same as being prohibited for the user, but you should always verify your own local laws.
