Duelbits has partnered with the World Snooker Tour (WST) to become the title sponsor for three upcoming UK-based events. These events include the World Grand Prix, currently underway until 20 January, the Players Championship taking place from 20-26 February, and the Tour Championship from 27 March to 2 April. The top 16 players from the World Grand Prix will qualify for the Players Championship, while only the top eight players will proceed to the Tour Championship.
Renowned snooker players such as Ronnie O’Sullivan, Judd Trump, Mark Selby, Neil Robertson, Mark Allen, Mark Williams, and Shaun Murphy are set to participate in these exciting tournaments. WST chairman Steve Dawson expressed his enthusiasm for these events, stating that they provide a unique opportunity for players on form to showcase their skills and deliver high-quality snooker to a substantial global audience.
Recognizing the immense reach of the sport, including its extensive viewership on UK’s ITV, Duelbits has seized the chance to expand its brand and align with the worldwide growth of snooker. Ross Haffie, Duelbits’ head of sportsbook, commented on the partnership, emphasizing the series’ rewarding format that promotes the best 32 players over the season, making it an ideal opportunity to reach a broader audience alongside the prestigious snooker brand.
Duelbits’ collaboration with WST follows its previous partnership with English Premier League football club Aston Villa, where Duelbits served as the official European betting partner during the 2022-23 season.
