According to the Observer, gambling sites and casinos are seriously considering dropping the ability to bet on WWE matches. They pretty much are aware who are insiders in the WWE and WWE wrestlers who bet a lot on their own matches.
SummerSlam could be the final straw since the losses were huge for at least one gambling company.

That was a key thing where I mentioned after the show that a lot of the gambling sites were considering dropping WWE because insiders that knew could make a lot of money and that level money was ridiculous. The company that got hammered hasn’t done parlays in a long time, and won’t be doing them again. It was noted that the one guy alone may kill the landscape because companies don’t want to open themselves up for those kind of losses in what is usually considered a minor fun thing of having odds on pro wrestling matches. It also should be noted that there are WWE talents betting heavily which is where some sites recognize and switch the odds when those bets come in
