Doherty joins Vivatbet Ireland as Brand Ambassador!

Former Irish snooker player, Ken Doherty, known as 'The Darlin' of Dublin', has joined forces with Vivatbet Ireland, becoming the official brand ambassador of the online sportsbook.

Thanks to his achievements and longevity in snooker, Doherty is one of the most respected figures in Irish sport. His work as a snooker pundit and commentator post-retirement has also made him a familiar face (and voice) in the homes of thousands of Irish sports fans.

Upon announcing the Dubliner as the brand's ambassador, Vivatbet commented on Doherty's "experience, consistency and deep understanding of what real fans value" and noted that the "partnership reflects a shared approach to sport."

Doherty, meanwhile, had this to say on the partnership:

Really excited to be working alongside a new and exciting company, Vivatbet Ireland. Its innovation, vibrancy and integrity are the very core elements that convinced me to team up."
