As a result, there will be Cazoo branding on stage and on players shirts going forward at the trio of events which start in September in the World Cup and start the second half of the PDC season.
This will also see changes with this being the first time in a number of years that a gambling firm has not sponsored these tournaments. The potential effects of a sponsorship ban on gambling previously discussed late last year.
Barry Hearn OBE, President of Matchroom said: "It's fantastic to have a brand like Cazoo involved with us in both snooker and darts and we have thoroughly enjoyed working with Alex and his team, who have proven to be creative and innovative partners.
"We are now partnering with Cazoo on nine of the most prestigious tournaments and eagerly-awaited events on the snooker and darts calendars as well as for FishOMania. We look forward to introducing the Cazoo brand to our loyal fanbase and to a long and productive relationship."
