Where To Bet On The 2016 WWE Royal Rumble

Please Note: This post was first published earlier this year. It has now been been republished for December in time for the 2016 Royal Rumble.

I know we're months away from the 2016 WWE Royal Rumble. However, this has not stopped bookmakers from publishing betting odds for the battle royal.

In this post, I will list the websites in order of when they first opened books for the January match that will determine who will challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 32.

I intend to update this list every time a new sportsbook installs odds for the match. I'll also change the date and time of the post for new visitors to be aware that odds for the match are already out.

The bwin Sportsbook

The bwin Sportsbook was the first betting website to put up a Royal Rumble market. Its odds were up as early as Sunday May 24th.

That's almost eight months ahead of the bout!

It's worth noting that the sportsbook's traders tend to put the markets up and down on a frequent basis. So - and this goes for every bwin market - if you see a price you like, take it immediately. It might not be around for long.

You'll be able to find the bwin Sportsbook's Royal Rumble odds under 'Entertainment' at bwin.com.

Betfair Sportsbook

The Betfair.com traders' published their Royal Rumble markets around about June 18th.

The firm put up a huge market with names that are likely, and less likely, to win the big match in January. You can place bets on people like Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon and Shawn Michaels. You can also take better options like Brock Lesnar or the 2015 winner - Roman Reigns.

Unlike bwin, Betfair's markets will likely remain open all the way through to the night.

The WWE markets can be found under 'USA' in the 'Special Bets' section of Betfair.com

5Dimes Casino & Sportsbook

The sportsbook at 5Dimes.com first put up betting odds for the Royal Rumble not long after Betfair's traders put up theirs.

5Dimes is the best option for visitors living in the USA as the company is the only sportsbook that accepts clients from that part of the world.

This sportsbook has longevity when it comes to WWE betting. It has published WWE betting odds for every pay-per-view for years.

Usually, the WWE odds can be found under 'Other Sports' on the betting board at 5Dimes.com. However, the Royal Rumble lines are found under 'Futures' on the website.

I expect the market to be moved to the 'Other Sports' category in the weeks before the event. So, if you're reading this in December/January, I suggest searching under 'Other Sports' on the 5Dimes website.

Ladbrokes

Ladbrokes - one of the most popular betting brands in the world - put up Royal Rumble 2016 prices in mid July.

The company has been accepting bets on WWE events on a fairly frequent basis for nearly two years now.

Its Royal Rumble odds can be found under 'Wrestling' on the A-Z menu at Ladbrokes.com.

You can also follow this direct link straight to Ladbrokes' WWE Betting Page.

Paddy Power Sportsbook

The traders at PaddyPower.com were also quick to put up Royal Rumble 2016 odds. Their odds went up on the weekend of July 26th - six months before the match.

The Irish bookmaker has been putting up WWE betting markets for every WWE event on the calendar for many years and has even published markets for the NXT special events.

If you'd like to bet on the Royal Rumble, you can find the odds either under 'Other Sports' or 'WWE' on the sportsbook A-Z menu.

Alternatively, you can follow this link to Paddy Power's WWE Betting Page.

Sportsbet Australia

If you're in Australia, you might be interested to know that Paddy Power owns Sportsbet Australia. This is an Aussie sports betting firm that has mirroring odds from its Irish counterpart. As with Paddy Power, the Sportsbet Royal Rumble odds have been available since July 26th.
