Ultimate Guide for MMA Betting

Bookmaker Guide for MMA Betting

Welcome to the ultimate guide for MMA betting.

The following pages contain a list of different sportsbooks available to use for MMA betting depending on what type of bet you want to place, what country you live in and what organisation you want to bet on.

The first section contains the different regions in the world that allow MMA betting and I have listed the sportsbooks recommended to use in that specific region, as the places which you are allowed bet will be entirely dependent on where you live. Remember that these are only suggestions, there will be more bookmakers you can use in your location and you should search for these yourself.

I have also created a section which details the bookmakers you can use for betting on specific organisations, ranging all the way from the UFC to the obscure regionals.

Because gambling laws are forever changing worldwide, this list may not always be up to date. Every week there are new crypto sportsbooks emerging, so just use this list only as a guide.

The best way to find out what sportsbook you can use is to go to the sportsbooks website and seeing if they allow players in your location to use them, or by doing a quick google search.

Use this simply as a starting guide but do your own research on what sportsbooks to sign up with.

*Remember that while you can use this as a guide ultimately there is no consistency with these Bookmakers on when and if they open lines to certain markets. MMA is not a huge market for most of them and it shows, sometimes they open lines early sometimes they do not open lines at all, and it varies from bookmaker to bookmaker. On top of this there are new bookies emerging and disappearing regularly which we cannot track. Just be patient, use this document as a guide but do your own research. There may be some weeks where lines open late or not at all, there is nothing you can do about that except wait. Sometimes messaging your specific bookie and asking them to open lines will hurry them up, but ultimately it is in their control.

BOOKMAKERS TO USE TO BET ON THE

MAJOR ORGS (UFC, PFL AND BELLATOR)

Every single bookmaker in the world that has MMA markets will have UFC lines, in other words you can use any bookie to bet on the UFC.

Most bookmakers will also have PFL and Bellator lines, but not all. For that reason I have listed bookies below which usually hold Bellator and PFL lines.

Bet

Draftkings

BOOKMAKERS THAT HAVE REGIONAL SCENE LINES

Regional scene shows are shows such as CFFC, Cage Warriors, Rizin, One FC, KSW, LFA, Oktagon, Fury FC etc.

The below bookmakers hold lines for some or all of these shows. It is important to note that with the regional scene it is very inconsistent as to when lines are posted and to what bookies they are posted on.

It is also important to note that the below bookies are only suggestions of books that I know hold lines for these shows, There are TONS of more books, the below is simply a guide. Have a look and do some research for yourself.

BetOnline have all lines for every regional scene show, they are the best bookie to have by far, with the other bookmakers it is random as to when they put lines up and can vary from week to week.

Bet365

Usually 365 have lines for Cage Warriors and Rizin, KSW, Oktagon and a BUNCH of other orgs. Pro tip: Make sure you go to more sports > combat sports as well as checking the MMA section when you are looking for regional shows, because sometimes they are hidden, particularly if it is a crossover kickboxing/MMA event like Rizin do from time to time.

This bookmaker often carries lines for multiple regional shows. They are probably one of the worst for limiting in the industry, but can still be used to bet on these shows nevertheless and you can get lucky or nail the set-up to where you are deemed to have a square account so you can place big stakes.
