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.

Glen Durrant became the first member to be inaugurated twice in the same season after achieving a nine-dart finish at the EDO England Open in 2013 also.[4] Only after Gary Stone achieved a nine-dart finish at the Scottish Masters in 2013 was the event added to the list of qualifying tournaments, with Gary Stone also being inaugurated into the Winmau BDO 9-Dart Club.[4]
