Fairplay Exchange — the peer-to-peer cashless betting app — has partnered with one of the most iconic names in snooker by agreeing to sponsor a new challenge series on the Stephen Hendry’s Cue Tips YouTube channel.
Hendry is one of the most decorated snooker players of all time, with the Scotsman’s glittering career returning seven World Championship titles, 18 Triple Crown titles and 36 ranking titles in total, along with a staggering record of 471 weeks as world number one.
In each episode of the new series, Stephen will compete against a fellow player or figure from the worlds of snooker or other sports in a series of challenges to test their all-round skills and technique. The first episode of the new series features three-time world snooker champion Mark Williams; the epic snooker skills battle between the two greats can be seen here.
Since launching in April 2023, Fairplay Exchange has built a young, engaged, sports-focused audience who can set up real-money wagers on anything they want with their friends; the winnings are guaranteed to be paid in full and on time, saving players the trouble of chasing their peers for cash.
Billy Gowing, Fairplay Exchange’s Co-founder and Managing Director, said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to sponsor this exciting new format on the Stephen Hendry’s Cue Tips channel; hosted by one of the most legendary figures in the history of the sport.
“Snooker is one of our most popular sports for players to bet on, so this is a perfect fit for us. The Fairplay Exchange app allows people to bet on casual games of snooker just like the ones you see in Stephen Hendry’s Cue Tips, and we are very excited to make the most of the opportunities this partnership presents.”
Stephen Hendry said: “Up and down the country, players in snooker clubs love to have a friendly wager on games between friends, and Fairplay Exchange gives players a platform to do that without having to chase each other for cash.
“It’s fantastic to have Fairplay Exchange on board as a partner for the new Challenge series format, and we hope the audience love the series as much as we do.”
