WWE is getting into the online casino gaming business with Fanatics

They may have given up on legalizing gambling for pro wrestling, but WWE is still looking to get a piece of the lucrative pie. One way it seems they’ll try to do so it by working with frequent partner Fanatics to bring WWE-themed games to the Fanatics Casino app.

Per a press release issued today (July 15), there will soon be five WWE games in Fanatics Casino. Those will launch at the end of July as part of a “WWE-branded takeover” of the app for SummerSlam. But before you get too excited to play blackjack with a SmackDown set in the background, know that Fanatics Casino is currently only legal in four U.S. states.
