Cheap hotel that for london
Comment from : Chris Haddow

Lots of hangers-on taking a cut 'cuz reasons'
Comment from : Stinger Bee

Nice insights here Matt, but don't sponsors take care of the Hotel costs etc?
Comment from : Diego Swart

Imagine middle or lower-tier players from continental Europe Can't be very profitable for them
Comment from : Trencito

Interesting video but u cannot really count food u have to eat wherever you are😂 Also u probably do not pay 20 tax as u Wil deduct expenses being self employed U guys work hard but earn good money
Comment from : james Olojo

correct me if im wrong but i would have thought the first £12500 is tax free and whatever is earned on top is taxed ? another topic potentially is how being away playing affects family life
Comment from : naveed hussain

I love these types of fun fact video’s
Comment from : darter 216

I'm guessing you don't have a management team to pay? How much do they usually get of the earnings?
Comment from : Mad Viking

Thats without a manager, tour players that have management lose a large of winnings brbrGreat video Matt 👍
Comment from : Robbie Clear

Thank for sharing your information on the earnings, your videos are always interesting
Comment from : Sixty Seconds of Stephens

Appreaciate that info Thanks for taking the time to upload it brCheers and all best with Covid over therebrFrom down Under 👍
Comment from : No One

Great video, but quick question How about tournament entry fees? Is that covered by the PDPA Membership or in any other deduction? And would that cover, let's say, other televised tournaments you qualify for? (Players Championship Finals, Grand Slam, UK Open)
Comment from : Rolando Barredo

that was a bit excessive the covid test bill did you go private lol
Comment from : Forky-Reviews-and-Rants

Crap
Comment from : Robert Holness

Interesting Would be great to see more in a Netflix style behind the scenes doc that follows a player at the top end of the rankings and a player trying to keep their tour card over a year or so See all the costs, life on the road etc
Comment from : Sean Devine

Would it be different for the world Cup teams championship? Whos picking up those tabs when representing the country?]
Comment from : Alex C

You have to pay the DRA £50 a year just so they can potentially fine you for nonsense reasons They really do have a cheek😂
Comment from : Philip Davies

When I used to play on the pdc development tour first time I got in money £50 not only does it take 28 days to come into account they took £150 😂😂 bit of a pisstake imo when it’s advertised prize money but you don’t actually get what they advertise lol think it’s a 2 fee bare in mind where not pdpa members
Comment from : Chris Bradley

Interesting I always assumed the PDC paid the hotel and travel costs for events
Comment from : ukfalc

Do you make money from your shirt sponsors?
Comment from : Matthew Bailey

How much goes to the management of the players?
Comment from : Möchtegern Milliardär

Can players who are out of top 64 or who have had a bad year make a living of this with all hotel costs ?
Comment from : Kevin Dont Kill Kevin Remmerie

This video was recommended by Glen Durrant 😂
Comment from : Kevin Dont Kill Kevin Remmerie

Aren't you classed as self employed, so things like travel, accommodation etc surely you get tax back for such things so that final figure probably evens itself out a bit more?
Comment from : Steven Farmer

When booking hotel’s flights etc do you book them ? Or leave it to a agent,manager etc what do the top seeds do let someone it at any cost ?
Comment from : gary squire

Cracking insight here Matt So crazy to see the intricacies of the actual prize money Top work mate!
Comment from : Billy Newton

Total rip off the £1114 expenses to play Although you can claim that all back against tax as they are expenses Interesting to see what a player actually pays out for events Its something that joe public doesn't really think about and something that could actually stop you from playing were they to be high enough what with home bills to pay 1st
Comment from : RobW

🙈 nice insight just a bit depression when u take the tax out but hey we all pay I'm self employed I feel ur pain
Comment from : Tomas Morrissey

I hope they didnt charge you for your own covid tests That would be quite tight
Comment from : Paul Plumridge

What about managers? Don’t dart players have agents and stuff taking a percentage, or is that just for the top 16ish players
Comment from : Ben H

Well next year 90 will come off due to us having to pay off the furlough scheme So you're gonna get a tenner for losing in round 1 at the worlds
Comment from : Alex Pollington

Jesus The PDPA that’s some take from each player £800?! Damn Good and informative video tho Matt
Comment from : Anthony 8BP Gaming

Thanks Been wondering about this
Comment from : rcplanepirate

What about the relationship with the managers? Should they be paid too?
Comment from : TheFLAG2009

Really think hotel expenses should be taken care of by the PDC In Golf, they mainly get their hotel stays free
Comment from : Nick Wyatt

Hi Matt, you say 20 tax, surely you'd claim your expenses back IE hotels, clothing etc, also I dare say you've got a good accountant 😉
Comment from : John West

Still not bad for a weeks work😉
Comment from : Matt H

Great video mate
Comment from : DHDKJRTB

Nice video, really interesting Thank you :)
Comment from : Jan Erik

Love the channel Would Price have had to pay £100k on tax so also? Kinda shows that darts players don't get as much as some think and that really got win few big ones for the game to be financially secure
Comment from : Adrian Walsh

Can you do the breakdown of costs per tournament vs annual costs? BTW it is crazy that you had to pay for covid tests and not the organizers
Comment from : Sahta99

What grip would you recommend for someone who needs something a little bit more grippy than a classic ring grip, but doenst’ get on withbra twin ring grip
Comment from : Gabe Dangoor

Interesting to learn if the fees and what you don't necessarily hear or learn about 😊👌
Comment from : Travel with Jodie

Lets not forget Matt is a very central UK based player & very close to most venues Most over-seas players will have extra costs Just travelling back & forth from Scotland can be costly, which is why Hendo moved south The real top players will have good sponsors, but the mere mortals will only get a few £100 quid here or there
Comment from : Gus

Yay The intro is back!
Comment from : David McCormick

Great video Just wondering as you were saying darts players are self employed, but obviously affiliated with the PDC Is it like WWE where the pro wrestlers are deemed not to be employees but independent contractors and therefore not fully looked after, (travel cost, health insurance, etc), but unable to work for another promotion Or does the PDC let players such as non card holders play where they like
Comment from : Patrick Gallagher

Very good info
Comment from : David Marchant

One thumbs down I notice, probably Barry Hearn
Comment from : mkdavo

It’s not a cheap sport lol
Comment from : Austy Van Austyman TV

Great video Matt so interesting to see what comes off the prize money I didn't know players had to pay towards the DRA
Comment from : Gavin Burr

Really interesting Thank-you
Comment from : Gary Mayes

Quite frightening how much is taken by these 'organisations'
Comment from : Pandemic Prisoner

An interesting insight of the expenses ect
Comment from : Lucien99

Hey matt, could you make a video on the dress code for players, I know you made a video about shirts, but what are the rules for trousers and shoes? I remember andy fordham getting special permission to wear runners on the oche
Comment from : Tom Buckley

Madness that youve got to pay to be part of the rules authority and absolutely loving the behind the darts series you are doing
Comment from : John Lewis

Jeez the PDPA practically robbing you hahah
Comment from : Jake Sullivan

Im quite new to the channel, so is darts your full time job, or do you have a side job for income
Comment from : Tom CFC

You deserve every penny of it Matt, thanks!
Comment from : Betr8er

Do you get extra money for doing the interviews?
Comment from : Elfee

Good stuff mate, keep up the good work
Comment from : Joep Gubbels

You should do a video with info about how much players earn from sponsors selled darts,jerseys how that works?
Comment from : TANTUMVERDE

So the winner gets around £390,740 left when you take off 2 Levy all other things you said and the 20 Tax
Comment from : Liam JC Jones

Hey matt how many miles or kilometers are you from london
Comment from : Dan Greene

Would u not include any sponsorship money from being in the world championships in that
Comment from : Stuart McMahon

Do you know if the "international qualifiers" receive any sort of travel expenses, such as for the "South-Central America" qualifier or the India qualifier, because I'm sure their travel expenses would be a lot higher than yours?
Comment from : Usireland

So you end up with £10k after tax and expenses from £15k prize money How much do shirt sponsors pay for the tournament?
Comment from : Luke Bignell

Thanks for the insightful info! How quickly does the prize money get payed out?
Comment from : dscoder

Comment from : Quinten Onbekend

Intro back!
Comment from : Quinten Onbekend

There's no monthly payment no matter what your rank is? If your so low in the rankings your barley getting much money but just competing in the players champs only
Comment from : Brandon

Loving the daily videos Matthew! If you get stuck for ideas I'd love to see a video on what might influence where a player decides to stand on the oche (for example Andrew Gilding standing on the left corner and Stephen Bunting on the right corner, despite both being right-handed) and what techniques are best suited for where on the oche you choose to stand
Comment from : Jack L

Busted! I see you conveniently left out the invoice for the mini bar When taken into consideration, you are down to 8k after tax 😉🤣🤣🤣
Comment from : Russ Williams

Good stuff! Never realized there were that many fees and expenses
Comment from : Steve Zeller

Those expenses just strike into the heart Ouch I've been playing darts in super league in Singapore, and I do dream of playing at Ally Pally, but man that is scary
