One person wrote: “It’s the worlds semi finals night totally unacceptable.”
Another commented: “To not even tweet until the walk ons or later is a complete joke.”
A third said: “30 minutes into the broadcast they notice it. Bull***t… just embarrassing.”
Amid the issues with the website, the PDC’s official X account urged fans to tune in via an app.
A short statement read: “If you are having trouble watching on PDCTV currently – please tune in via the PDC app.”
In a separate statement, a spokesperson wrote: “We are working on a solution for the website imminently, but streaming is still available via the PDC app.”
Van Gerwen took a 2-0 lead in the match before Dobey got a set back.
However, the Dutchman quickly extended his advantage and went on to win 6-1.
