Compared to 2023, the prize fund has been increased by £100,000. The amount for the winner and runner-up has remained the same, so the extra money flows to the players who do not make it to the final.
All 32 participants are guaranteed a starting premium of 7,500 pounds, which is 25 percent more than last year. A win in the first round increases the earnings to 15,000 pounds. A quarterfinal spot earns £25,000.
The semifinalists go home with a minimum of 40,000 pounds. The losing finalist will receive £60,000, while the winner of the European Darts Championship will receive a check for £120,000.
