THE BIG 180
Paddy Power have put the power in the hands of the most skilled darts players on the planet to help save the lives of men across the UK.
The mischievous Irish bookmaker caused controversy amongst the global darting community when the new World Championship sponsors announced they had meddled with the treasured board.
The firm claimed to have turned the treble 20 bed from its traditional red to green, just a fortnight before the festive sporting occasion, which is watched by a global audience of millions and is due to begin on December 15 at London's Alexandra Palace.
However, Paddy Power, the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) and Prostate Cancer UK released a joint statement, revealing the true intent of The BIG 180 campaign.
The ground-breaking partnership will see Paddy Power donate £1,000 every time a 180 is struck throughout the 16-day tournament – meaning the treble 20 will be staying red, and the leading men's health charity gets the green!
In addition, the bookmaker and the PDC will join forces and use all their channels to challenge 180,000 fans, followers and customers in the UK to use Prostate Cancer UK's online risk checker via prostatecanceruk.org/180-risk
With 901 maximums scored during last year's tournament, it is hoped that record will be smashed at the 2023/24 event, meaning a possible £1 million donation to Prostate Cancer UK – a transformative sum for the charity that will ultimately save lives.
All money raised throughout the Paddy Power World Darts Championship will fund lifesaving research to diagnose men sooner and improve the lives of men affected by the most common cancer in men.
