Midnite to give away £25k for every 147 maximum at this year’s Snooker World Championship
Snooker fans at this year’s World Championship will get the chance to pocket £25,000 if they witness a 147 maximum break – thanks to bookies Midnite.
Midnite are the official betting and casino partner of this year’s tournament. To celebrate, they are pledging to give away the cash prize to a random member of the Crucible crowd whenever a maximum goes in.
The Midnite Maximum will see a seat number randomly selected at the start of every session and – if a player completes a 147 break – the lucky fan in the audience will collect £25,000.
A 147 maximum is the holy grail of snooker achievements and there have been 14 in crucible history – including two during the tournament in 2023.
Jackson Page made snooker history this week, becoming the first player to complete two maximum breaks in a single pro match on his way to victory over Allan Taylor in the World Championship qualifiers.
Midnite’s sportsbook was launched in 2018 by Nick Wright and Daniel Qu, who previously created daily fantasy sports platform Dribble in partnership with Sky Bet. Midnite added horse racing and casino to the product mix in 2023 and Midnite’s team has grown from 60 to 110 over the past 12 months.
Co-founder Wright said: “At Midnite, we’re passionate about bringing fans closer to the games they love.
“The Crucible theatre is one of the most intimate venues in world sport and it is never more electric than when a player is closing in on a maximum break.
“With Midnite Maximum, our aim is to bring fans even closer to the emotion and tension that the players experience when achieving snooker perfection.”
Earlier this month, Midnite was announced as the official UK betting and casino partner of the 2025 World Snooker Championship.
To take part in the Midnite Maximum giveaway, fans need to be aged 18 and older and opt-in before the start of play at every session at the Crucible.
