The August subscription has started. The requirement for this Subscription Bonus is still the same as before, needing a bet on the Premier League outright market. The problem is the bet cannot be cashed out to stay eligible, so the $5 stays locked until the Premier League Winner 2026/27 market is settled, around next May. So even though the bonus requirement finishes quickly, the money itself if it wins only becomes available almost a year later.
Since this subscription bonus runs monthly, it might be better if the requirement changed to a regular market bet happening within that same month, instead of an outright market that only ends months later.
Thanks for repeating what 2 or 3 people already wrote.
Since the PL will start on the 21st the sub bonus might have been sent by then already (likely some days later though). People can easily sub now, wait for the bonus and then cash out their bet if they don't want to wait a whole 8 months for the season to end. Pretty stupid approach stake took there.
Those markets for the EPL outright winner of the 2026/2027 season are boosted.
So by the time they give out the subscription bonus it will be too late to cashout at those same odds. So those who want to take that approach will probably lose half the amount.
I would imagine that they have already foreseen players cashing out their bets placed. So they probably have a contingency plan put in place or even some sort of way to rakeback the bonus amount from those accounts.
I remember last month there were bonus codes that were leaked and those who claimed them couldn't withdraw those amounts so they do have the means of locking funds.
