Unibet (Kindred Group Plc), an online bookmaker based in Europe, has signed a 3-year deal to become the "title sponsor" of the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) Premier League.

Unibet has become one of the main sponsors on the darts circuit and it makes sense that they should sponsor this huge event. The Premier League is the 3rd largest tournament in darts and deserves a big time sponsor

I do not know how successful this darts has among TV stations. Is not at all interesting and to make sports bets on darts events you have to spend some time to improve yourself in this sport. A very good thing is for those darts professionals players who will earn some extra money. Good Job Unibet.

well unibet is a storng brand in Europe, not sure about the rest of the world or north korea, but to pick such sport like darts and invest lotsa cash into this is doubtful, not a hugely popular sport to be honest, hope they can pull it off.
They should just spend this sponsorship money 2 recode and clean up the mess which is their new betting interface. Slow, resource heavy (despite looking like it was oiginally planned for tablets and mobile devices in mind...) with ugly font rendering. I did not liked the old one either but this is a mess.

It eas nice, that Unibet supported the popular Darts Premier League. There are really a boom on TV with darts Championchips at the moment like poker some years ago. But the only problem was, that we can´t play Dart online

You can play darts online with gta 4 game. It could make this game and poker rooms or casino is easy but who would play that honestly. There are plenty of games that can be played for money but no one moves to do anything about it so they stay on the games they think are good. I would play backgammon for money.

Itoo think that it is not so good idea to make investment in such sport like darts, it is not very popular and so why so much time and money inthis promotion? This prank is like mober say not very funny I think too. Maybe unibet will have success with this promotion but I think no.

It's quite the opposite. Extremely popular - especially in Western Europe. Does not need a lot of resource if you want to try it at home or at a local pub and the pros are full of interesting characters. It's a sport where athleticism does not matter so literaly anybody could compete with anybody regardless of age and gender.

So i can show you I'll send you a link dear mobsters friends. You will remain amazed. it's a pleasure to watch that. Now i show you to convince and say your opinions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO23q4Wu-fY

A bit tied into this. Kindred Group Plc, the parent company, will concentrate on the Unibet brand, and will close down, or transfer to Unibet, its Stan James brand operations, which they had bought earlier.

Darts is quite popular game as stated above. You can say that not many watch it as a sport, but one that many have played. And you can find a board in many establishments like bars etc. I have watched a couple of games on tv. A bit boring i have to say. The remarkable thing also was the players drinking beer while playing. Where else can you see that, in a championship

All these mergers is just making things worse. Rather than compete /w each other on features etc. for new users they just buy out each others userbase. This not about long term growth.

Darts is brilliant TV. It's far better watching on tv where you get close ups of which little segment the dart has landed in on the board as opposed to sitting 50 metres away not having a clue cos you are so blindingly drunk and prattling around with your mates that you can't even see the big screen! Bring it on unibet!

I agree with that. You can also see the points what they are after too etc. Unless there is a huge screen in place when you watch live, its not the same. And it kinda takes a bit out of the "live" too, if you are there and still watching a monitor
