Michigan Gaming Control Board have commented on WWE legalized betting talks.
As previously reported, WWE are in talks with state regulators in Colorado and Michigan to legalize betting on high profile matches in the company.
The promotion have already registered with the Indiana Gaming Commission, but the Colorado Division of Gaming is not currently considering allowing sports betting wagers on WWE matches.
On Thursday, the Michigan Gaming Control Board made a statement on WWE’s attempt to legalize betting on matches. They wrote the following:
Detroit, March 9, 2023 – The Michigan Gaming Control Board has not held direct communications with officials from World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) about offering legal wagering in Michigan on its events.
“Any request for inclusion in Michigan’s Sports Wagering Catalog must be submitted to the MGCB by a Michigan-licensed operator or platform provider, and the agency has not received a formal request regarding WWE events wagering,” said Henry Williams, MGCB executive director. “The WWE should work with the gaming industry if it wishes to bring a proposal before the MGCB.”
A third-party consultant approached the MGCB more than a year ago about a proposal to add WWE events to Michigan’s wagering catalog, but the agency has received no further information.
The MGCB receives catalog requests only from licensed sportsbook operators. The Sports Wagering Catalog provides guidance and lists leagues, events and wagers allowed in Michigan. When the catalog is updated, it is shared publicly on the MGCB’s website and with sportsbook operators.
“The Michigan Gaming Control Board shall ensure the conduct of fair and honest gaming to protect the interests of the citizens of the State of Michigan.”
A WWE spokesperson declined to comment on this report as of yet.
