For additional two-year term
Ladbrokes had extended its support of the World Grand Prix and Players Championship world ranking Snooker events for another two years.
The two tournaments, which form part of the conclusion to the snooker season, are considered a highlight in the sport.
The top prize at the Ladbrokes World Grand Prix will be GBP 100,000 and the Ladbrokes Players Championship GBP 125,000. Both events will be televised by ITV4.
"We're delighted to extend our partnership with World Snooker following hugely successful tournaments this year. We're incredibly passionate about sport at Ladbrokes and it's great to have the World Grand Prix and Players Championship as part of our extensive sponsorship portfolio for another two years," commented Kristof Fahy, chief marketing officer for Ladbrokes.

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.
We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.
His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
