World Snooker Tour Announces Betvictor Title Sponsor Renewal
World Snooker Tour (WST) has announced the renewal of a long-term partnership with BetVictor.
The UK betting brand has been named the title sponsor of eight snooker tournaments during the 2023/24 season.
The leading money winner across the BetVictor Series will once again pot a £150,000 bonus as part of the deal.
The BetVictor sponsored tournaments will include the four BetVictor Home Nations Series events and the BetVictor European Series, as well as the BetVictor Championship League, which is promoted by Matchroom Multi Sport.
All money earned by every player in the eight counting events will be tallied on the BetVictor Series Rankings.
Steve Dawson, Chairman of the World Snooker Tour, said, “We have worked with BetVictor for many years and they have been an outstanding partner for our sport, so we are thrilled to continue working with them on a wide range of tournaments during the 2023/24 season.
“Snooker has an extraordinary global reach through our vast broadcast and digital audience, extending to every corner of the planet. BetVictor have joined us on that journey, providing them with huge exposure for their brand worldwide.
“For the fans, media and players, the BetVictor Series bonus race adds an extra element of excitement, running across the eight events. Last season, we went to the last tournament in Wales with no fewer than 11 players in with a chance of winning the £150,000, and the race went down to the final night when an emotional Robert Milkins had the best moment of his career. It could not have been more dramatic!
“The 2023/24 season will be fascinating on the table and we are joining forces with BetVictor to enjoy every match.”
Sam Boswell, Head of Sponsorship for BetVictor, added, “We are delighted to continue our long-standing sponsorship of Snooker with eight BetVictor titled tournaments and of course the BetVictor £150,000 bonus race, which has been incredibly popular with players since its creation in 2020. We are looking forward to some great drama on the table over the next 12 months.”
