BetMGM claims that it is seeing unprecedented interest in women’s basketball, taking as many WNBA bets in 2024 already as in the whole of 2023.
In a blogpost on the company’s website, BetMGM revealed that there have been nearly three times as many bets in the first half of the season, year-on-year, and also that there is more than twice the number of women betting on the WNBA in the first half of the season, year-on-year.
Michael Ranftle, BetMGM senior sports trader, said: “Between more player prop offerings, the ‘Caitlin Clark Effect’ and the incredible rise in popularity of the WNBA, we’re experiencing historic increases in betting on the WNBA.”
