Wrestling is traditionally associated with tough guys who throw hard punches and have a certain image. Almost no one thinks about the fact that they have a life outside the ring. Many wrestlers tried their hand at online gambling or were involved with casinos in some way, both during their wrestling career and after it.
Some wrestlers consider gambling a hobby, while others think of it as a way to earn money, not only by winning but also as an advertising model.
John Cena, for example, is a well-known poker enthusiast. Sina had enough strength not only to pursue a career as a wrestler and actor but also to be passionate about poker. Sina tried his hand at online casino games, taking on the nickname “John Cena Pro,” under which he participated in various poker tournaments. Cena didn't just play at virtual tables; he also participated in home poker tournaments. Despite his success in the WWE, Sina maintained a humble attitude at the poker tables.

Dana White, the head of the UFC, is a big fan of casinos and gambling. He was a professional wrestler in the past, and in the present, he is known for his passion for gambling. Interestingly, he is banned from the Wynn and Palms casinos. In addition, some casinos politely asked him to refrain from gambling. All because he used to place large bets and yet walk away with impressive winnings.
According to unconfirmed rumors, Dana White was also interested in online betting and preferred games with immense jackpots. There was even information about his large winnings on local forums. According to rumors, the professional wrestler used to play JetX, a gambling game that offered significant potential winnings. The wrestler himself has long denied any ties to gambling.
