Three celebrated events on snooker’s global tour, renowned for their elite fields, will welcome Sportsbet.io as their new title partner for the next two years. The Sportsbet.io Players Championship will run from March 17-23, 2025, at Telford International Centre, followed by the Sportsbet.io Tour Championship from March 31 to April 6 at Manchester Central and then the Sportsbet.io Champion of Champions from November 10-16 in Bolton.
All three events will be screened live by ITV and will receive extensive global television and online coverage from a range of international broadcasters.

The Sportsbet.io Players Championship is the second event in the 2025 Players Series. Only the top 16 on this season’s one-year ranking list will earn a place in the field in Telford. Mark Allen won the trophy last season, and as it stands he could be defending the title in a field including the likes of world number one Judd Trump, World Champion Kyren Wilson, Ding Junhui, Mark Selby, Neil Robertson, Shaun Murphy, Mark Williams, John Higgins and many more top stars.
Then for the climax of the series, the Sportsbet.io Tour Championship at a fantastic venue in the heart of Manchester, only the top 12 earn a spot in the draw.
The Sportsbet.io Champion of Champions, ever present on the calendar since 2013, brings together 16 winners of tournaments over the previous 12 months. Mark Williams took the title in 2024, coming through a superb field which included the likes of Judd Trump, Kyren Wilson and Ronnie O’Sullivan.

Blow Up the Reels With Big Wins & Super Bonuses in Stakelogic’s Cherry Bomber
Strap in for explosive wins and unique bonuses in Stakelogic’s colourful and creative new slot, Cherry Bomber
Grab your swim shorts and make sure you’ve applied your sun cream because we’re heading down to a vibrant tropical island for some explosive action in Stakleogic’s latest adventurous slot, Cherry Bomber.
Players are invited to spin the reels on a sunlit beach and are joined by a selection of colourful fruit characters, each of which brings their own little bit of charm to the island. However, mischief is afoot, with slingshots randomly appearing on the beach to cause chaos on the reels and help players land wins of up to 10,000x their stake.
This playful adventure unfolds over a traditional five-reel set-up, with each reel displaying five symbols. There are 20 active paylines on every spin, with wins secured when players land three or more matching symbols across one.
The Slingshot feature, the game’s stand-out mechanic, can trigger on any base game spin. Slingshots have eight levels and will fire Wild Multipliers onto the game grid. The higher the level, the bigger the Multipliers.
It’s not just the Slingshots players should look out for. Landing three or more of the Bonus Symbols will trigger the Free Spins round, with a maximum of 20 spins being rewarded. The game also ups the ante with the Super Free Spins bonus, triggered when you land three Bonus symbols, including a Super Bonus symbol on reel five.
During these spins, Slingshots can fire up to three Wilds at a time, with a maximum of 15 Wilds able to appear on the reels.
As a Stakelogic slot, players can activate the Super Stake feature. This allows them to wager 1.5x their bet for an increased chance of triggering the bonuses. Alternatively, they can buy their way into the Free Spins and Super Free Spins round for 75x and 200x their stake, respectively.
Like all Stakelogic titles, Cherry Bomber offers players a robust math model, having an RTP of 96.01% and being highly volatile.
James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “At Stakelogic, we wanted to make the most explosive start to 2025 possible. Cherry Bomber, with its unique Slingshot feature and charming, colourful theme, has allowed us to do just that. We wanted to set a precedent for the kind of innovative products we want to create in 2025, and Cherry Bomber embodies that vision perfectly. We can’t wait to see how players react.”
