What this list is

Tier-3 and Offshore Bookmakers is a curated subset of bookmakers that meet one specific criterion: active tier 3 licence only, no tier 1 or tier 2 licence. Top 30 bookmakers whose strongest active licence is Tier 3 (Curacao, Costa Rica, Anjouan, or Comoros) and who hold no Tier 1 or Tier 2 licence, ranked by how many active Tier 3 licences they hold, then by Trust Score. Of the 1,806 bookmakers Atlas tracks, 8 qualify; the remaining 1,798 did not pass the criterion or scored below the cutoff.

"Best of" pages on the rest of the web are mostly affiliate-paid placements. This one is not. Every entry below is ranked by its independent Atlas Trust Score, with the criterion, the rejected count, and the trade-offs shown in the open.

How we ranked for “active tier 3 licence only, no tier 1 or tier 2 licence”

Each entry passes the criterion above and then ranks first by how many qualifying licences it holds within the tier, with Atlas Trust Score (0 to 100) as the tie-break. The Trust Score combines six independent components: licensing strength, corporate transparency, security posture, public reputation, threat intelligence, and operational evidence.

  • How we picked

    Each of the 8 entries holds an active offshore or Tier-3 licence (Curacao, Anjouan, Comoros, or similar) with no mid-tier or strict-tier licence confirmed active. Brands rank by Atlas Trust Score.

  • What we excluded

    1,798 bookmakers did not qualify for this list. Brands with a mid-tier or strict-tier licence appear on those respective lists. Brands with no confirmed licence at all do not appear in this list.

  • What this list does not tell you

    Offshore licences carry limited consumer recourse if a dispute arises. A high Atlas Trust Score here reflects structural indicators like domain age and corporate transparency, not formal player-protection guarantees. Proceed with caution.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a Tier 3 licence?

Tier 3 regulators have lower licensing barriers and a limited consumer-protection track record. SharkBetting includes Curacao, Curacao Antillephone, Costa Rica, Anjouan, and Comoros in Tier 3. Player recourse for disputes is often weaker than under Tier 1 or Tier 2 oversight.

Should I avoid Tier 3 brands entirely?

Not necessarily. Tier 3 brands can be appropriate where they accept jurisdictions blocked by Tier 1 regulators, offer crypto rails, or service niche markets. Trust Score still rewards them for clean threat-intel, transparent corporate ownership, and strong public reputation. Read the red-flag overrides before depositing.

Why do Costa Rica brands sometimes show no licence?

Costa Rica issues data-processing permits rather than gambling licences in the European sense. We treat Costa Rica as Tier 3 when corporate filings reference a Costa Rica entity, but many self-declared Costa Rica brands hold no traceable licence at all. Those land in the unclassified bucket, not on this list.
