The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) organisation is the leading organiser and promoter of professional wrestling in the world.
It’s become a global phenomenon with events watched by millions. Some of those fans call New York their home, and in this guide, we’ll take a look at some of the best betting sites for the WWE.
We’ll also take a look at how the WWE works and the types of bets you could place on matches or events.
The WWE has been around, in one form or another, since 1953. Since that time it’s grown into a promotion company with a massive turnover of just over $1 billion.
The WWE signs wrestlers to its roster and promotes events and fights, some of which may be for titles or belts.
Throughout the year there are a number of major events, such as:
The Royal Rumble
SummerSlam
WrestleMania
As we’ll see below, it’s when these events roll around that players get the best deals and offers from sportsbooks and betting sites.
You’ll find lots of similar deals offered for MMA events too, such as the UFC. You can check out some of the best MMA sports betting sites in New York here. You can find many sportsbook sites that offer enhanced odds, deals and offers outside of New York too. Using comparison sites can be very useful in your search.
Players have a variety of options when it comes to betting on WWE matches or events. The simplest bet you can make is the straight wager. This simply involves backing the wrestler that you think will win the fight or event.
Bets like this don’t always reward you with the best odds, especially if you pick the bookies’ favourite.
To help boost the odds, you can put together an accumulator bet. This involves picking the winner of a number of fights. The more you choose the better the odds; just bear in mind it’s harder to call right.
A safety net when it comes to accumulator bets is the cash-out option. Some sportsbooks offer this feature, which allows you to cash in your bet early before all results have been decided. You won’t get as much as if you’d have won outright, but it’s designed to balance risk and reward.
Something else to watch out for, which we’ll discuss further below, is special deals and offers made by sportsbooks in the run-up to the key events mentioned above. Let’s take a look at what some of those offers may look like.
Let’s take a look at some of the best sites in New York for WWE bets.
Although at one time a daily fantasy sports provider, FanDuel has risen to become one of the most popular sportsbook sites played by people in the US, New York included.
They regularly run promotions and deals, especially ones that reward loyal players. One of the most popular bets that they offer is a bonus of a $1,000 risk-free bet to those who sign-up for the first time.
They also offer bonuses for referring friends to use the betting site and generally offer special deals and enhanced odds for big WWE events like the SummerSlam.
BetRivers is an online sportsbook and casino that offers generous welcome bonuses to new players.
One of its most popular deals is matching first deposits by 100%. This means that if you deposit $100 into your account when you first sign up, they’ll credit you a further $100—no strings attached. Whatever you win with that bonus credit you get to keep.
This is also a popular type of bonus with many other betting sites and sportsbooks. Sometimes they may offer up to 200% for deposits as high as $2,000
DraftKings is regarded as one of the top sportsbooks in the New York area and this, in part, is down to the generous bonuses and deals they offer.
One bonus they like to run is a matched deposit bonus, just like we described above with BetRivers, but their limit goes up to $1,000. They also offer a free bet when you refer a friend to use the site or app.
It’s worth keeping an eye on a range of sportsbook sites to see which ones are offering the biggest returns on your WWE bets.
