Snooker players like Ronnie O'Sullivan and Mark Selby are the stars of the sport, but refereees play a vital role in ensuring that the game is played fairly and according to regulations. Referees are often put in difficult situations, such as when players become confrontational or when a table invasion by protesters takes place. So, how much do snooker referees get paid? It all depends on the level of competition and their experience. At entry-level, referees can typically expect to be paid between £35 and £70 per match, while professional referees start with a base salary of £20,000 per season. The highest paid referees like Paul Collier, Marcel Eckardt and Olivier Marteel will likely receive a significantly higher base rate. Referees also receive an individual match fee, which can be up to £500. On top of this, World Snooker covers travel, food and accommodation expenses. Some referees choose to work as full-time officials while others have additional professions.
