Darts aces Luke Littler and Rob Cross have admitted they are less than impressed with the prizes on offer in the Premier League.
They were presented with 18-carat golden darts worth £30,000 for achieving nine-darters in the Premier League.
Luke Humphries, as the only other player to land a perfect leg, also earned the golden arrows.
Humphries and Cross hit the mark in Brighton earlier this month.

World champion Littler achieved his nine-darter against Michael van Gerwen in Cardiff's final last week.
Despite the glittering prize, not all players are thrilled with the special mementos.
Cross, who is teetering on the edge of the play-off spots, confesses he's "pig-sick" of collecting special mementos that don't translate to success on the leaderboard.
The world number four isn't content with merely hitting the bullseye for show; he's after tangible league results.
Despite a spectacular 170 finish last week that ousted Gerwyn Price from the mini-tournament in front of a home crowd, Cross fell short in the semi-finals.
He lost 6-2 to Littler, adding to his frustration about performing impressive feats without securing victories.
As he gears up for a rematch with Price at Newcastle, Cross is aiming for more than just the golden darts on offer.
The man known as 'Voltage', a former electrician, remarked: "I've not even seen a picture of the golden darts so I don't know what they look like or how big they are - it will be a surprise for me like everyone else."
"To be honest, I just want to win a (Premier League) night now. I'm doing all the sexy stuff but not staying consistent enough after that."
"To hit a nine and then the big fish 170 and not win on the night is annoying. I'm pig-sick of it to be honest."

GETTY"My form has been brilliant lately but I want something to show for it."
"No one will remember the nine and 170 if I don't make finals night at the O2."
Littler has also expressed dissatisfaction with the £30,000 golden darts prize.
The 18-year-old jokingly declared them "boring" because they were not a "proper set" of darts.
