The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris will be the first Olympics since legal sports betting expanded in the US, with over 30 states now allowing some form of sports wagering. Sports betting companies like FanDuel and DraftKings expect increased betting on the Olympics during a slow season for US sports gambling in the summer. Basketball, soccer, and tennis events are predicted to see the largest betting volumes, though bettors can only wager on events allowed by their state's regulations.
