The Winmau BDO 9-Dart Club was an initiative launched and partnered by the British Darts Organisation and long-term sponsor Winmau in January 2013,[1][2] which celebrated the 40th anniversary of the British Darts Organisation,[1][2] with membership restricted to darts players that achieve a nine-dart finish at BDO / WDF major and open events.[1][2]

Players that achieve this feat are presented with a unique set of laser-etched tungsten darts in a laser-etched aluminium presentation case as a permanent keepsake from Winmau.[1][2] There is no specified limit as to how many times a player or team can be inducted if they achieve a nine-dart finish at BDO / WDF major and open events.
