At least three states say they wouldn’t allow gambling on WWE as a matter of policy, even if there are no explicit laws against it.

Kerry Hemphill, Manager of Sports Betting Product at the Oregon Lottery, made it clear that gambling on WWE wouldn’t be allowed as a matter of policy in the Beaver State: “Although there is no law or statute that forbids it, Oregon Lottery sports betting policy is to not accept wagers on scripted events with predicted outcomes.”

Seth Elkin, Assistant Director of Communications for Public Affairs for Maryland Lottery and Gaming, also told us his state had made a determination on the matter. “Maryland’s sports wagering law and regulations prohibit forms of wagering that are contrary to public policy or unfair to bettors,” he said. “We’ve determined that it is unfair to bettors, and therefore not in the public’s interest, to accept wagers on sports entertainment events that have predetermined outcomes, like professional wrestling.”

Meanwhile, a representative from the South Dakota Department of Revenue simply said, “WWE wrestling matches would not be eligible for sports wagering in South Dakota.”
