Why these apps for The Open Championship
The Open Championship is golf’s oldest and most widely followed major; bettors need apps that publish deep outrights, each-way terms appropriate for large fields, round-leader and hole/props, plus reliable in-play coverage during links conditions. We selected operators on three practical criteria: confirmed Open Championship market coverage on the operator’s sportsbook, clear regulatory/licensing status for key markets (United Kingdom and major US states), and an established mobile/web app experience tailored to golf majors. Examples of the operator pages used to verify coverage include bet365’s golf hub and The Open pages, Paddy Power’s golf section, Betway’s golf centre and the dedicated DraftKings/FanDuel Open tournament pages.

Regulation, market access and what we checked
Regulatory status and market access determine whether you can actually use a given app. For the English/European audience we verified UK market licensing or trading presence where available (for example bet365 and Paddy Power disclose UK operations and license details on their sites and terms). For US readers we checked state-level availability for US-first books (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM) using operator filings and regulatory disclosures. Always remember: availability changes by jurisdiction and you must be physically located in a licensed state/country to place bets. (help.bet365.com)
