Experience the Thrill of Participating in The Home of Online Darts
The GDL (Graded Darts League) provides players the opportunity to meet new people and hone their skills while competing against players of similar abilities for prizes, including cash!
Meet new people, battle it out, WIN!
You’ve probably noticed that aimlessly throwing darts at your board at home isn’t the same as competing against someone else. It’s likely you’ve craved the human interaction and competition that typically comes with darts events.
It’s possible you’ve tried online tournaments before and weren’t particularly impressed. Your high hopes of a friendly competition and a fun time came to a screeching halt as you realised the major flaw that most tournaments have, which is inconsistent and unequal matchups.
If you’ve tried other online darts comps, it’s likely you have had two scenarios play out time and time again:
A boring game due to being playing someone way below your level
or
A frustrating game due to playing someone far above your own game.
That’s probably not what you had in mind when you started playing online.
The GDL is different. We provide a supportive and friendly online steel tip dart community that thrives on competition with accurate player allocations.
We use our exclusive proprietary analysis, as well as a variety of historical data, such as games played on scoring sites (like Nakka and Lidarts), to create even matchups.
This means you get all of the enjoyment that comes from battling it out against other players for big prizes… while in the comfort of your own living room.
Tell Me… Does Any Of This Sound Familiar?
- You're fed up of the prices of drinks going up in the pub ALL. THE. TIME?
- You’re new to darts and want to improve your skills in a friendly yet competitive online atmosphere.?
- You’re sick of mindlessly throwing darts alone in your house, but feel like it’s the only affordable option available now.
- You’ve taken part in online dart tournaments in the past but found them to be boring and stressful because they matched you up with players who were way below or way above your skill level.
If you can relate to any of the above, then THIS is for you.
Our Leagues Explained
Imagine this… you’re 5-4 up in the final leg of a best of 10 match. Your opponent is going score for score with you. You’re pushing to get down to a finish before them, but they hit a big score at the perfect time to leave tops. PRESSURE! But you’re on a two darter… pop pop. Game shot and the match!
But then imagine… You get this type of match every single time you play in your division. Your opponents are so tightly matched with you that you need to cope with that pressure every game. It’s been proven time and time again that being exposed to this type of pressure over and over again helps you cope with it and your game improves as a result. Your confidence improves, your enjoyment of the game improves. It really is a win win win all round. If you lose? Don’t worry about it – you’ve met another decent person and can go again next time.
In a nutshell, that’s what our leagues are all about. Each division is tightly matched – there really isn’t much between the ‘best’ and the ‘worst’ players in each division. It’s just a couple of missed doubles here and there.
Each season is 8 weeks and you’ll get a minimum of one game per week. You play on nakka or lidarts at any time that you arrange with your opponent. There are no set times to play. All you need to do is play that one game in that week!
On top of our leagues, you also get access to everything else in the GDL. Which brings us on to the Tour

The GDL Tour Features...
The GDL Online World Tour features FIVE different grades to ensure that you will always be playing against players that you can beat. Equally, they’ll have chances to beat you too!
The grades are named Platinum, Gold, Tungsten, Silver, and Bronze.
These grades provide each player with a reasonable opportunity to win on their day.
Each grade has its own major competitions and each major has its own race to the major qualifiers for a prize pot. Prizes are the same, no matter which grade you’re in.
The Tour events are all straight knockouts. Almost always straight 501 matches, but sometimes we spring a surprise or two!
