Midnite Becomes Official Betting Partner of Snooker's Three Major Tournaments

Betting and casino company Midnite has expanded its partnership with World Snooker Tour. The company will be the official betting and casino partner across all three of snooker's major tournaments in England, the Triple Crown events.

Midnite previously sponsored the World Snooker Championship and the Masters. With this agreement, it has also taken on the UK Championship, bringing all three tournaments under a single partnership. The UK Championship begins on 28 November at York Barbican and runs until 6 December.

The tournament has been hosted since 1977, and this year a total of 32 players will take part, made up of the top 16 players in the world rankings and 16 qualifiers. The prize fund for the event has been raised to 1.5 million pounds this year. Last year the figure was 1.2 million pounds, and the champion will receive 312,500 pounds.

Midnite's growing visibility across the Triple Crown tournaments in England is seen as part of the company's goal of building long-term relationships with major sporting events. Midnite's PR manager, Callum Wilson, said the company was pleased with the partnership, noting that all three tournaments hold great meaning for players and fans.
