Darters already raise more than half a million pounds at World Darts Championship to donate to charity

The cash register is already ringing strong for Prostate Cancer UK during the World Darts Championship. Tournament sponsor Paddy Power has launched a number of initiatives to raise money for the charity.

The goal is to turn over one million pounds during the tournament at Alexandra Palace. For now, they are well on their way, having raised over half that amount before Christmas.

For every 180 score, the betting agency transfers a sum of 1,000 pounds to the charity. The counter currently stands at 462 maximum scores, which means £462,000 has already been raked in for Prostate Cancer UK through this route.
