Paddy Power halted bets after a number of customers placed money on dates that had already passed.
They are considering also stopping wagers on the name and gender of the baby, with betters becoming increasingly convinced that it will be a girl named Ivy.
"These people are clearly talking to someone, who is talking to someone else," Lee Price, the company's head of PR, told CNN.
He added that customers have often led the way when it comes to Harry and Meghan's announcements, recalling that bookers had correctly guessed the couple's engagement date before Clarence House announced it.
Royal watchers have been anticipating the announcement of a royal baby for some time, with Meghan due to give birth any day.
But details have been few and far between, with the royal couple previously announcing they would keep arrangements relating to the birth private.
On Friday Prince Harry shortened a forthcoming trip to the Netherlands, prompting further speculation that the birth was imminent.
