BetVictor Joins Forces with WST
BetVictor and WST (World Snooker Tour) announced the renewal of a long-term partnership, with BetVictor named title sponsor of eight tournaments during the 2023/24 season.
The BetVictor sponsored tournaments will include the four BetVictor Home Nations Series events and the BetVictor European Series, as well as the BetVictor Championship League which is promoted by Matchroom Multi Sport.
All money earned by every player in the eight counting events will be tallied on the BetVictor Series Rankings. The money list leader after the eighth and final event in Wales in February will earn the £150,000 bonus.
Snooker has a global audience of 500 million fans and every BetVictor-sponsored event will be broadcast live by a wide range of broadcasters across the globe, including Eurosport and discovery+ who are host broadcasters for the BetVictor Home Nations Series and BetVictor European Series.
WST Chairman Steve Dawson said: “We have worked with BetVictor for many years and they have been an outstanding partner for our sport, so we are thrilled to continue working with them on a wide range of tournaments during the 2023/24 season.
“Snooker has an extraordinary global reach through our vast broadcast and digital audience, extending to every corner of the planet. BetVictor have joined us on that journey, providing them with huge exposure for their brand worldwide.
“For the fans, media and players, the BetVictor Series bonus race adds an extra element of excitement, running across the eight events. Last season, we went to the last tournament in Wales with no fewer than 11 players in with a chance of winning the £150,000, and the race went down to the final night when an emotional Robert Milkins had the best moment of his career. It could not have been more dramatic!
“The 2023/24 season will be fascinating on the table and we are joining forces with BetVictor to enjoy every match.”
Sam Boswell, Head of Sponsorship for BetVictor, said: “We are delighted to continue our long-standing sponsorship of Snooker with eight BetVictor titled tournaments and of course the BetVictor £150,000 bonus race, which has been incredibly popular with players since its creation in 2020. We are looking forward to some great drama on the table over the next 12 months.”

Fireplace Raises $1.5M to Build Institutional Trading Infrastructure for Prediction Markets
Fireplace, a professional trading terminal for prediction markets, announced a $1.5 million pre-seed round to bring institutional trading infrastructure to one of the fastest growing asset classes in history. The round was led by Frachtis, with participation from White Star Capital and several other notable VCs and Angel Investors, including Syndicate rounds on Legion and Echo.
Fireplace offers what prediction markets always lacked: a unified terminal that aggregates markets, liquidity, and execution across prediction market venues. Fireplace delivers real-time data, institution-grade execution, advanced charting, wallet, whale, and insider tracking, and discovery. Wallet technology and automations are powered by in-house Enclave Money infrastructure.
As prediction markets fragment across platforms and chains, Fireplace is being built to support cross-venue aggregation with smart-order-routing. Rather than forcing traders to manually compare prices and liquidity across venues, Fireplace will intelligently route orders when the same market exists in multiple places.
“Prediction markets are one of the most powerful financial primitives, but the user experience hasn’t caught up. Trading feels slow and information-poor, Fireplace fixes that by giving traders the fastest, most intelligent terminal,” said Sumer Malhotra, Co-Founder and CEO of Fireplace.
Prediction markets have exploded over the past year, becoming a core venue for macro-events, sports, crypto events, and elections. Despite this growth, tooling remains fragmented, slow, and information-poor.
Akshay Rajagopal, Co-Founder and CTO, added: “Prediction markets needed their own Bloomberg Terminal. Fireplace brings real-time infrastructure and execution that simply didn’t exist before.”
Fireplace sits above existing prediction markets, aggregating markets, traders, and liquidity into a single interface.
“Fireplace is building the professional interface that markets like Polymarket have been missing – the data, speed, and tooling that serious traders expect. This will unlock a new category for prediction markets, allowing pro-traders and institutions to participate in a new asset class,” said Xavier Meegan, CIO of Frachtis.
