This has led to both PDC and Unicorn who have teamed up on this venture to donate a further 50 boards to pubs meaning over 100 venues will receive a new board.
Big names have also got involved with Stephen Fry nominating The Greyhound is Swaffham. While Dave Clark has nominated The Bay Hotel in Robin Hood's Bay.
Former World Champions, Bob Anderson and John Lowe nominated The Salthouse in Clevedon and The Victoria in Chesterfield.
While many current PDC stars including Gary Anderson and Dimitri van den Bergh have also got involved as the campaign gains momentum.
Matt Porter, PDC Chief Executive, said: "The reaction to the giveaway has been incredible and shows how excited people are for the return of indoor hospitality and pub darts. Due to the success of the campaign, we have doubled our original figure and will now be sending out 100 Unicorn boards to celebrate the safe return to indoor venues."
Edward Lowy, Unicorn Products Ltd Managing Director, said: "It's wonderful to have seen such a great reaction from darts fans across the UK to nominate local pubs, and to be able to double the number of dartboards being given away will enable even more people to enjoy a return to the oche!"
