Bonus TL;DR

  • WWE expanded into gaming by licensing its brand to partners Fanatics and VGW rather than becoming a direct operator.
  • Fanatics launched exclusive WWE-themed casino titles, while VGW secured multi-year rights to create branded online social games.

WWE is expanding into online casino and social gaming through licensing agreements with Fanatics Betting and Gaming and VGW, rather than becoming a gambling operator.

WWE supplies its brand and content while partners handle development, technology, and distribution. The agreements cover WWE-themed casino games through Fanatics and online social games through VGW.

Fanatics Casino’s WWE Games Include WrestleMania: Road to Gold

WWE signed an exclusive, multi-year agreement in July 2025 with Fanatics Betting and Gaming, which is responsible for producing and distributing WWE-themed online casino games in the United States.

The first products included:

  • WWE Blackjack
  • Raw Multiplier Melee
  • SmackDown Big Money Entrance

WrestleMania: Road to Gold launched in March 2026 through Fanatics Casino in partnership with White Hat Studios. The game features 20 WWE Superstars and incorporates SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and Money in the Bank into its mechanics and progression.

The Fanatics partnership also expanded into merchandising, digital content and fan engagement. A joint digital content network included Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE.

VGW Agreement Covers WWE-Branded Social Games

In January 2026, VGW received rights to use the WWE brand across its portfolio of online social games, according to the report.

That agreement includes access to WWE Superstars’ likenesses, WWE digital channels and flagship programming, including SmackDown, WrestleMania and SummerSlam. It covers social gaming, distinct from the online casino products described under the Fanatics agreement.

The report does not specify state-by-state game availability, financial terms for the agreements, or performance figures for the launched titles. It also does not identify a schedule for additional WWE-branded releases.
