Sports betting regulators in Colorado, Indiana, and Michigan have spoken out after a recent CNBC article mentioned that those states were in talks with the WWE to legalize betting on high-profile matches. The regulators denied that they were in talks, stating that they had not considered or were not currently considering allowing sports betting wagers on WWE matches. The WWE was reportedly holding exploratory discussions with state regulators about the potential of sports betting.
This news has brought to light the issue of whether or not it is ethical to allow betting on scripted events such as WWE matches. It is yet to be seen whether or not the WWE will be able to make any headway in legalizing betting on their matches, but the recent denial of talks by state regulators has made the situation murky.
