Place a pre-match single, bet builder, or multi cash bet on a player to win before the start of the event, and you could be celebrating early thanks to The Big Fish offer. If your selected player checks out the iconic 170 at any point during the match, we will settle your bet as a winner immediately, regardless of whether that player goes on to win the match. It’s a unique way to enjoy darts betting, adding extra excitement to one of the most dramatic moments in the sport.
This promotion is available across all 18 selected darts competitions televised on Sky Sports and ITV. These include some of the biggest and most prestigious events on the professional calendar, ensuring plenty of opportunities to take advantage of the offer throughout the season. Whether you are backing a proven checkout specialist or simply fancy your chances in a high-profile clash, The Big Fish adds another layer of anticipation to every leg.
The offer applies to the following competitions: the PDC Saudi Arabia Darts Masters, PDC Bahrain Darts Masters, PDC Dutch Darts Masters, PDC World Masters, PDC UK Open, PDC Premier League, PDC World Cup of Darts, PDC US Darts Masters, PDC Poland Darts Masters, PDC World Matchplay, PDC Women’s World Matchplay, PDC Australian Darts, PDC New Zealand Masters, PDC World Series of Darts Finals, PDC World Grand Prix, PDC European Championship, PDC Grand Slam of Darts, PDC Players Championship Finals, and the PDC World Darts Championship. Any qualifying bet placed on these tournaments can benefit from the promotion.
To claim The Big Fish offer, simply place a qualifying bet before the match starts. A qualifying bet is defined as a pre-match cash bet, which can be a single, a bet builder, or a multiple, placed on the Match Winner market in one of the selected competitions. As long as your bet meets these criteria, it will be eligible for the early payout feature associated with a 170 checkout.
Once your qualifying bet is placed, all you need to do is watch the match unfold. If your selected player successfully checks out 170 at any stage of the match, your bet will be paid out in full, in cash, as a winner. This applies even if your player later goes on to lose the match, making it a rare opportunity to secure a payout based on a single, spectacular moment of brilliance.
For those who enjoy bet builders or multiples, the offer still works in your favour. If one of the selections in your bet builder or multi bet records a 170 checkout during their match, that specific selection will be marked as a winner. The remaining selections in your bet will continue to run as normal, giving you the chance to benefit from both early settlement and the overall outcome of your combined bet.
It’s important to note that only pre-match bets qualify for this promotion. In-play bets are excluded, so make sure your selections are placed before the event begins. Additionally, any bets that are cancelled or cashed out will not be eligible for The Big Fish offer, and if your selection is void for any reason, the promotion will not apply to that bet.
If you qualify for the offer and your player hits the magic 170, your winnings will be credited to your account in cash. Payouts are usually processed within 12 hours after the fixture has been settled, although in some cases this may take up to 24 hours. Once credited, both your deposit balance and any winnings are withdrawable at any time, subject to the standard Virgin Bet Terms and Conditions.
The Big Fish promotion runs from 19 November 2025 until further notice. Participation is open only to registered Virgin Bet members who are aged 18 or over and physically located in the United Kingdom at the time of placing the bet. You must also ensure that your account is fully eligible, as members who are subject to responsible gambling controls, account restrictions, or self-exclusion will not be able to take part in the offer.
By opting into this promotion, you agree that your participation is subject to the Offer Rules, the Bonus Rules, and the Virgin Bet Terms and Conditions. In the event of any conflict between these documents, the Virgin Bet Terms and Conditions will take precedence, followed by the Offer Rules and then the Bonus Rules. The Big Fish cannot be used in conjunction with any other Virgin Bet promotion or bonus offer.
Virgin Bet reserves the right to apply account restrictions where necessary, including in cases related to responsible gambling, fraud prevention, money laundering regulations, or legal and regulatory requirements. If a restriction is applied after you have placed a qualifying bet, and this affects your eligibility for the offer, you may contact the Customer Service Team to request details of any bonus or benefit you would otherwise have received, subject to applicable rules and obligations.
Any serious breach of the offer terms or the Virgin Bet Terms and Conditions may result in bets, bonuses, refunds, or related winnings being voided, and could lead to account closure. Any terms not explicitly defined within the Offer Rules will carry the same meaning as set out in the Virgin Bet Terms and Conditions.
The Big Fish is designed to reward one of darts’ most thrilling achievements, giving you a chance to win even when the final result doesn’t go your way. Place your qualifying bet, enjoy the drama, and if your player lands the biggest checkout in the game, you’ll be paid out as a winner—simple as that.
