Stake news from the month - September's biggest events
The biggest update at Stake in September was the introduction of Bonus Streaks. Each time you claim your weekly and monthly VIP rewards, you’ll increase your streak. Your current streak is shown on the VIP Club account page. You can keep your streak by claiming the weekly or monthly bonus before the next one drops. Your bonus streak starts at one, with your first weekly bonus claim. Your streak count doesn’t change the value of your bonus. You have a 3-day grace period for weekly bonuses and 7 days for monthly offers. So don’t worry if you can’t claim your Stake bonus straight away. Learn more about these offers in our Stake bonus guide.
One of our most popular Stake Original, Slide, got a refresh last month. The game now features new animations and sounds, making it look better and feel more fun to play. In addition, we added new betting features and a user interface, with faster rounds.

On Sportsbook, players placed almost 70 million bets, with soccer as the most-played sport. One player turned a nine-leg multi into a 2.25 million with selections spanning La Liga, the EFL, baseball, and the NFL!
