How this list was built
This guide is an independent comparison focused strictly on sportsbooks and exchanges that demonstrably offer U.S. Open (golf) betting markets and have verifiable operating or market-access arrangements in English-speaking and European contexts, plus major U.S. operators where state regulation permits. For each operator we confirmed three things before inclusion: (1) the operator offers U.S. Open / majors golf markets on its sportsbook or exchange; (2) evidence of regulatory/market status relevant to English or U.S. audiences (UK Gambling Commission or state/regional licensing where applicable); and (3) on-site editorial or rules pages that document golf markets, market types and settlement rules. The individual operator notes below link to the pages used for verification. Where a bookmaker’s availability depends on local law (for example U.S. state-by-state access), that variability is explained clearly rather than asserted away.
Operator-by-operator notes and availability
bet365 — deep outright and in-play golf coverage
bet365 provides dedicated golf pages and guides and routinely lists the four majors — The Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open and The Open — with outrights, group winners, top‑20/top‑40 markets and player props for major weeks. Their golf hub and tournament coverage (including US Open previews and tee‑time guides) show active markets for majors and ancillary golf products. For readers in Great Britain, bet365 operates under a UK‑facing entity referenced in its terms (Hillside (UK Gaming) ENC) and is regulated by the UK Gambling Commission; bettors in other countries should check local availability and any national restrictions that apply.

Paddy Power — majors specials and novelty markets
Paddy Power (part of Flutter) maintains extensive golf content and explicit US Open markets on its golf landing pages. For UK customers, Paddy Power’s legal pages show the PPB group entities that hold UK Gambling Commission licences; the site lists US Open outrights, major specials and in-play offers tailored to big golf weeks. Paddy Power is particularly known for novelty majors markets and “Power Prices” boosts on headline events. Availability is UK/EU focused for the European product; international users should check the operator’s regional terms. (paddypower.com)
Betfair Exchange — exchange liquidity for big golf events
The Betfair Exchange provides back-and-lay golf markets for major championships including the U.S. Open. The exchange is a different product to the fixed-odds sportsbook and is most valuable to users who want to trade positions, lay selections or seek cross‑market value. Betfair’s golf exchange pages show matched volumes and explicit listings for US Open winner markets and related major markets. Exchange users should understand the differences in settlement, commission on matched profits and the speed of market-moving data. (betfair.com)
William Hill — long-standing UK book with major-week coverage
William Hill publishes tournament previews, outright boards and major-week tips including U.S. Open content on its editorial channels. Its publicly available terms and corporate information also document its regulated status for UK customers (WHG entities licensed by the UK Gambling Commission) and alternative licensing arrangements for other regions. William Hill’s mix of retail shop presence and online markets means it frequently offers place terms that are familiar to UK majors bettors; check the operator’s event-specific rules for places/each-way terms when backing outrights.

BetMGM — cross‑market content and regulated-market availability
BetMGM operates a major golf product in regulated markets, with a dedicated golf landing page that lists the US Open alongside other majors and tournament markets. In the UK BetMGM runs a .co.uk site with golf tips and outright markets; in the U.S. BetMGM is a large multi‑state operator that offers golf markets where state law permits. BetMGM’s terms for its UK brand confirm Gambling Commission licensing for UK customers, and separate filings and business documents show the group’s wide regulated footprint in North America. Availability for any individual bettor therefore depends on the country or U.S. state of residence. (betmgm.co.uk)
DraftKings Sportsbook — U.S.-focused majors markets and DFS crossover
DraftKings offers an extensive set of US Open markets, including winner, top-20/top-40, head‑to‑head matchups and player props — and they combine sportsbook markets with daily fantasy (DFS) content where legal. DraftKings’ US pages and US Open landing pages show tournament markets; the product is primarily U.S.-market focused and available only in U.S. states that have licensed online sports betting. DraftKings’ house and sport rules explain how major bets settle and how reduced rounds affect futures for the four majors — an important detail for bettors. If you are outside the U.S., DraftKings availability may be limited or different; always check the site or your local regulator first. (sportsbook.draftkings.com)
FanDuel Sportsbook — major-week editorial and live markets
FanDuel provides US Open previews, betting guides and a full slate of outright and prop markets during major weeks. FanDuel’s editorial team publishes DFS and sportsbook strategy guides tied to the US Open and other majors. Like DraftKings, FanDuel’s sportsbook is governed by state licensing in the U.S.; FanDuel also publishes state house rules that describe golf settlement and dead-heat policies. Availability for non‑U.S. customers varies by region, so confirm legal access in your location. (fanduel.com)
Regulation, market access and what “available” means
“Available” is jurisdiction-specific. In the UK and much of Europe the sportsbooks named above operate under UK Gambling Commission or EU/EEA/other regulator licences (bet365, Paddy Power/Betfair, William Hill and BetMGM UK all maintain UK-facing licences and published terms that reference Gambling Commission oversight). In the U.S., DraftKings, FanDuel and BetMGM provide golf markets only in states that have licensed online sports betting; each operator’s sportsbook will automatically block access outside of licensed states or where local law forbids the product. We verified live U.S. Open market pages or major-week content for every operator listed and also matched that to the operator terms or regulator pages that demonstrate legal operating status in the relevant market. Where local availability cannot be verified for your exact city or state, check the operator’s terms or your local gambling authority before registering. (content001.la.bet365.com)
How we ranked and what to consider when choosing a bookmaker for the U.S. Open
- Golf market depth: number of outrights, places (top‑3/top‑20), group markets and props on offer for the U.S. Open.
- In-play/live markets and speed of price updates — important during
