In 2008 Bunting won the Lytham St Annes Open and was also recalled to the England squad. In July 2008 he reached the quarter-finals of the BDO British Classic where he lost to Scotland's Ross Montgomery live on Setanta.

On 21 May 2009 Bunting finished joint fourth in the Dutch Pentathlon in Oosterhout, Netherlands. The pentathlon had a field of 20 BDO and PDC players and was won by Gary Anderson with Scott Waites 2nd and Gary Robson 3rd. It was played in Oosterhout Holland.
Bunting competed in the Winmau British Classic on 25 July 2009. He played Dave Chisnall in the semi-final and beat him 2–0 in sets. In the final Bunting played Scott Waites, where he came out the eventual winner 2 sets to 1 with a 170 finish in the fifth leg.
Bunting qualified for the 2010 BDO World Championship, beating the debuting Ian White 3–0 in the first round before losing to top seed Tony O'Shea 4–0 in the second round. The following year, Bunting once again qualified and won his first round match 3–0, this time against Brian Woods with the tournament highest average of 94.62. Bunting then defeated Scott Waites in the second round 4–2 averaging 89.79 to reach his first World Championship quarter-final, where he was beaten 5–1 by third seed Dean Winstanley with both players averaging over the 90 mark.
September 2011 saw Bunting reach the quarterfinals of the Winmau World Masters on ESPN. Bunting had been playing all morning to fight through to the live televised stages and in the deciding match Bunting defeated Wayne Warren. Bunting was into the last 32 and played Peter Johns from Wales. Bunting won 3–0 in sets and played Robbie Green in the last 16. Bunting won 3–1 with per dart average of 30.33. In the quarter-finals Bunting lost 3 sets to nil against Ross Montgomery.
On 30 September 2011 Bunting played in the England Classic at Bunn Leisure, in Selsey Sussex. Bunting was the defending champion having won the title in 2010.

World Masters and World Champion
In October 2012, Bunting took his largest career title by winning the Winmau World Masters as the number one seed, defeating Tony O'Shea 7–4 in the final.[3] In December, Bunting won the Zuiderduin Masters, by defeating Alan Norris in the final.[4] Bunting finished 2012 at BDO and WDF World number one.[5]
At the 2013 BDO World Championship, Bunting recorded the highest average of the first round in beating James Wilson 3–2, but in the second round he was unexpectedly defeated by Darryl Fitton 4–2 despite once again recording the highest average of the round. Bunting led 2–1 and had five darts at double top to take a 3–1 lead, but was unable to take the chance and Fitton went on to win six of the next eight legs to clinch victory. At the 2013 Isle of Man tournament final Bunting defeated Darryl Fitton 4–2 to win the title. He then won the Mariflex Open, the Welsh Open and the England Open.
In July, Bunting won the England Masters title at the Pontins Southport beating Paul Jennings in the final 6–5. In the semi-final Bunting defeated Tony O'Shea 5–3.
Bunting successfully retained the World Masters title in 2013, becoming only the fourth man to do so after Eric Bristow, Bob Anderson, and Martin Adams. He also became the first man in history to win the title without dropping a single set. His tournament included a 6-0 semi-final win over world #4 Darryl Fitton, and a 7–0 final win over world #2 James Wilson.[6] At the Zuiderduin Masters, Bunting reached the final for the second straight year but this time was comprehensively beaten by Wilson, 5–1 in sets.[7]
Bunting entered the 2014 BDO World Championship as the number one seed for the second year in a row. He defeated Jim Widmayer 3–1 in the first round, Dave Prins 4–0 in the second round with the tournament's highest three-dart average (100.65), and Rick Hofstra 5–2 in the quarter-finals after Hofstra led 2-0 and had chances to win the fourth and sixth sets. In the semi-final, Bunting beat fourth seed Robbie Green 6–1 to set up a final with Alan Norris, which Bunting won 7-4 after the match had been level at 3-3.[8]
Switch to the PDC
On 22 January 2014, it was announced that Bunting had received and accepted a tour card to join the Professional Darts Corporation.[9] Bunting's first tournaments were the UK Open Qualifiers and he won the second and £10,000 by beating eight players, concluding with a 6–5 victory over Andrew Gilding.[10] The result saw him enter the 2014 UK Open at the third round stage where he made his PDC televised debut against Kevin Dowling. Dowling threw for the match in the penultimate leg and missed match darts before Bunting stepped in to take out a 151 finish and sealed a 9–8 victory in the next leg to set up a meeting with Dean Winstanley.[11] Bunting missed a dart at double 12 to start the match with a nine-dart finish, but went on to lose 9–6.[12] He made his European Tour debut at the 2014 German Darts Masters and won through to the semi-finals where he lost to Phil Taylor 6—3.[13] Bunting's second PDC final came at Players Championship 10, in a run which included a victory over world number one Michael van Gerwen, before being defeated by Terry Jenkins 6–3.[14] He made his debut in the World Matchplay against Peter Wright and he beat the world number five 10–6.[15] In the subsequent round he started badly against Gary Anderson to trail 5–0 and could never recover the deficit as he was defeated 13–8.[16] In August he made his first World Series of Darts appearance as he was given a wildcard pick for the Sydney Darts Masters. Bunting beat John Weber, Wright and James Wade to reach the final where Taylor defeated him 11–3.[17]
In October, Bunting reached the semi-finals of the World Grand Prix by beating Ronnie Baxter, Wright and Richie Burnett.[18] He was defeated 4–0 by Michael van Gerwen, with the Dutchman winning three of the four sets in deciding legs.[19] Bunting produced a superb performance in the second round of the European Championship as he averaged 102.21 in beating Taylor 10–9 having never been behind during the match and missed a double 12 for a nine-dart finish.[20] He was unable to replicate the performance in the quarter-finals against Terry Jenkins as he was eliminated 10–7.[21] Bunting reached the quarter-finals for the third major event in a row by beating Wade 10–8 at the Grand Slam of Darts, but lost 16–9 against Mervyn King.[22] In the Players Championship Finals he was defeated 10–5 by Anderson in the second round.[23]
2015
In his debut at the 2015 PDC World Darts Championship, Bunting saw off Robert Marijanović 3–1 in his first match, before defeating an out of sorts James Wade 4–1.[24] He played fellow St. Helens player Michael Smith in the third round and eliminated him 4–2, after surviving a comeback when Smith rallied from 3–0 down. Both players averaged 102 and hit eight 180s each during a high quality match.[25] In an extremely close quarter-final clash with Raymond van Barneveld there was never more than a set between the players as they both averaged 98.30. Bunting could not win a leg in the deciding set to be defeated 5–4 and end his chances of becoming the first player to hold both versions of the World Championship at the same time.[26] After Van Barneveld stated that his opponent's performance had shown he was a world class player, Bunting was left in tears on stage in the post-match interview.[27]
Following the World Championship final, Bunting was named as a Sky Sports Wildcard to compete in the 2015 Premier League Darts.[28] He drew 6–6 with Wade on the opening night.[29] In the following weeks, Bunting would fall into the relegation zone, losing his next three games before winning his first game against Adrian Lewis 7–3 in the fifth week.[30] He survived relegation by a point, but could only win one of his last seven matches to finish eighth in the league.[31]
Bunting met Raymond van Barneveld at the World Championship for the second successive year, this time in the second round. Once again there was never a set between the players, with Van Barneveld taking the final set by six legs to four.[37] Bunting did not receive a wildcard for a second appearance at the Premier League this year. He reached the fifth round of the UK Open, but was beaten by Joe Cullen 9–7.[38] En route to the final of the second Players Championship event, Bunting overturned a 5–0 deficit against Adrian Lewis to win 6–5. He then earned his second PDC title by overcoming Michael van Gerwen 6–4.[39] Despite averaging 102.48, he was only ahead of Mensur Suljović in the first leg of their opening round World Matchplay match as he lost 10–8.[40] A week later Bunting reached the semi-finals of the European Darts Open and was defeated 6–4 by Peter Wright.[41] He was knocked out in the second round of both the World Grand Prix and European Championship, 3–0 in sets by Kim Huybrechts and 10–4 by Jelle Klaasen respectively.[42]
After three years without a win at the World Championship, he made it to the last 16 at the 2020 edition, beating José Justicia and Jonny Clayton, before being whitewashed 4–0 by world no. 1 Michael van Gerwen.
As a result of his 2019 runs to the quarter-finals in the majors, he was selected for a return to the Premier League, appearing as a 'challenger' for the night in Liverpool.[44]
At the Masters, Bunting reached his first PDC major final. Bunting defeated Ross Smith 6–5 in the first round, reigning world champion Luke Humphries 10–7 in the second round, Peter Wright 10–2 in the quarter final, and Nathan Aspinall 11–1 in the semi-final. He went on to win the final, defeating van Gerwen 11–7, thereby winning his first PDC major title.[50] Bunting won 37 of 55 legs in 15 darts or fewer and never trailed his opponent at any point in his last four matches.[51]
At the 2024 European Darts Open (ET8) Bunting set the fourth highest ever average on the European Tour in his 6–0 victory over Owen Bates. Bunting averaged 117.12 in the match.
Bunting has been noted for his popularity on social media, particularly TikTok,[71][72][73][74] with his supporters famously chanting "Let's go Bunting Mental" during his matches.[72][75]
