By extending their alliance, BetVictor and WST have renewed their working relationship. As a result, BetVictor will serve as the title sponsor of eight prestigious snooker events in the 2023–2024 season. This noteworthy news includes sponsorship of Matchroom Multi Sport’s coveted BetVictor Home Nations Series, BetVictor European Series, and BetVictor Championship League.
The money won by each participant in these eight counting events will be determined by the BetVictor Series Rankings. A significant £150,000 bonus will be awarded to the player who finishes first on the money list at the conclusion of the final tournament in Wales in February, adding to the competitiveness and building excitement for both players and spectators.
Snooker has a 500 million strong fan following worldwide, capturing the attention of viewers everywhere. Numerous broadcasters throughout the world, including Eurosport and discovery+, who are the host broadcasters for the BetVictor Home Nations Series and BetVictor European Series, will broadcast each of the BetVictor-sponsored tournaments live.
WST Chairman Steve Dawson expressed his happiness about the ongoing collaboration and emphasized BetVictor’s sustained dedication to the sport. He stated, “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.”
He further added, “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, highlighted the excitement for the BetVictor Series by expressing happiness at maintaining their long-standing relationship with snooker. Boswell said, “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.”
Fans and players alike are anticipating the fierce rivalry, the extensive worldwide coverage, and the thrilling race for the coveted BetVictor Series Rankings and £150,000 prize as the stage is set for the 2023–24 snooker season. The sport will continue to develop and be exciting as it draws in viewers from all around the world thanks to BetVictor’s ongoing sponsorship.
