‘The Arras’ are now all but wallpapered across the TV networks and arenas are sold-out weeks in advance of a game featuring some of the sport’s biggest names.

Darts and the betting industry

Darts betting bookmakers have by no means missed the boat, however.

Almost every major bookmaking brand has signed themselves up as a sponsor of an event. William Hill took over the World Championships from Ladbrokes in 2015 – and in some instances players also have sponsorship agreements with online betting firms.

With the demographics ticking all the right boxes – the average age and sex of a darts viewers matches the average age and sex of an online sportsbook punter – there is no surprise that darts betting has become a highly competitive business.

PDC Premier League Darts

The event which pulls in the crowds and is restricted to the cream of the crop is the Premier League Darts.

This tournament is staged as a league type format and every week the players perform at a different venue, winning points for the games they win.

This event usually takes place around February – May each year (Covid permitting).

BDO World Championship

The British Darts Organisation (BDO) has it’s own World Championship which usually takes place just after the PDC Worlds in early January.

The BDO was the original darts organisation that produced those enthralling World Finals featuring the likes of Eric Bristow, Jocky Wilson and John Lowe at the Lakeside Country Club.

The PDC was formed in 1992 when the top players broke away from the BDO to form the all-new PDC with the live Sky Sports glitz with Barry Hearn as the PDC chairman.
