Tournaments sponsored by the betting brand will include the four Home Nations Series events, the World Mixed Doubles and four other events.
WST President Steve Dawson said: “BetVictor has been a fantastic and welcome part of the Snooker family for many years and we are thrilled to continue our partnership with them.

“Having 11 players in the running during the final three days of the series last season gave us an exciting conclusion and we look forward to a similar story next time.”

BetVictor has joined us on this journey, taking their brand to hundreds of millions of followers.
