- Deal includes branding during The Masters
- Jack Lisowski will help create content as a Brand Ambassador
OlyBet has signed an agreement to become the new European Betting Partner of World Snooker Tour (WST) for the 2024/25 season.
With this agreement, OlyBet will also be the Official Partner of the Masters tournament, which will be hosted in January at London’s Alexandra Palace.
Here, the operator will have table-side branding and a general presence at the venue.
On top of this, professional snooker player Jack Lisowski will become a Brand Ambassador, featuring in projects to create content and be the face of the partnership on OlyBet’s channels.
OlyBet Group Chairman and CEO Corey Plummer said: "Partnering with WST will bring the excitement, history, and personality of world-class snooker closer to OlyBet's communities. OlyBet is known for grand activations, up close access and delivering memorable moments through sports.
“The WST captivates its traditional base and inspires a new generation of fans with the world's best professionals and personalities. This will be an exciting partnership.”

WST CCO Peter Wright added: "It's exciting to team up for the first time with OlyBet, an inventive brand which has some fantastic partnerships in sports including football and golf.
“We look forward to collaborating with the OlyBet team and their new ambassador Jack Lisowski, known for his flamboyant style which will fit perfectly with their content strategy."
This adds another sporting partnership to OlyBet’s portfolio, following the operator last month being announced as the official partner of the golf tournament Open de France.
