The WNBA’s rise in visibility has sparked a strange parallel economy, fans are betting on dildo-throwing incidents with more intensity than the games themselves. And leading that charge is Polymarket, a crypto-based prediction platform that’s turning chaos into cash.
Dildo-related props on Polymarket have consistently drawn more volume than bets on game outcomes, according to activity across recent markets. Users can wager on whether a dildo will be thrown during a specific day’s slate of WNBA games. In some cases, betting volume on these props has topped six figures. It’s a shift that puts shock value above sport.
Polymarket Dildo Props Are Driving Betting Activity
BREAKING: WNBA betting volume on dildos surpasses betting volume for who will win the game.

The site’s “Dildo Thrown?” markets are now among its most active. What started as a novelty has turned into a core offering. Some days even have multiple overlapping markets, one for each game.
Polymarket’s user base, which bets in USDC, is treating the trend like a meme stock. The more absurd the behavior gets, the more liquidity these markets attract. And with wagers settling on verifiable video evidence, it’s created a low-effort, high-reward betting ecosystem for attention-seeking disruption.
Polymarket also contributed to the hysteria by spreading a false rumor about venue bag policy before a Valkyries game, implying it was easier to sneak in objects. That rumor was denied by the team, but the betting volume spiked regardless.

Polymarket isn’t the only book seeing movement. Top offshore sportsbooks like BetOnline are offering their own novelty props, including odds on the color of the next dildo thrown.
According to BetOnline’s Dave Mason, the action has been significant. His X page has become a running homage to the phenomenon, filled with references, memes, and commentary on market movement. He’s said that these props have attracted more betting handle than player performance markets in the same games.
Sportsbooks are capitalizing on a moment that has more to do with disruption and spectacle than fandom or competition.
Dildo-Throwing Incidents Have Now Hit Multiple WNBA Games
Dildo-tossing has actually disrupted multiple WNBA games across the country. Incidents have occurred in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Atlanta, and New York over the past two weeks, with one leading to the arrest of an 18-year-old who struck a child in the crowd.
The trend has evolved from a one-off stunt into a repeated pattern tied directly to social media and now, gambling markets. That combination, online clout and real-money betting, has turned WNBA courts into stages for chaotic side bets. And with sportsbooks posting odds and prediction platforms settling wagers based on video evidence, the incentive to disrupt is growing.
Sophie Cunningham Calls Out Dangerous Fan Behavior
this did NOT age well. https://t.co/K1WGbOWEjJ

Before her Indiana Fever faced the Los Angeles Sparks, Sophie Cunningham posted bluntly on X: “Stop throwing dildos on the court. You’re going to hurt one of us.” After a green dildo landed near her during the game, she followed up with: “That didn’t age well.”
Cunningham’s posts cut through the noise – this is about safety. The WNBA has since reiterated its zero-tolerance policy, stating that any object thrown on the court will result in ejection, a minimum one-year ban, and potential criminal charges.
Betting Markets Are Fueling the WNBA’s Weirdest Subplot
What started as a stunt has turned into a reliable market driver. Between Polymarket’s day-by-day dildo bets and BetOnline’s novelty props, there’s now more infrastructure supporting the chaos than stopping it.
Players are speaking out. The league is reacting. But the books are staying open. As long as there’s video proof and social traction, the betting action is going to keep flowing, no matter how ridiculous the setup sounds on paper.
