Stake weekly recap: exotic bets land on Japanese horse racing, Bonus Streaks, and Stake Ranked hits Barcelona
Two fresh upgrades to kick off October! Exotic bet types are now live on Japanese horse racing, and Bonus Streaks have arrived on your weekly and monthly bonuses. On top of that, our own Stake Ranked Episode 4 is underway in Barcelona, UFC crowns a new champion on Saturday, and F1 heads somewhere it hasn't raced in years. Let's get into it at Stake!
The latest upgrades at Stake
Exotic bets are live on Japanese horse racing
Racing fans, this one's for you! You can now place Exactas, Quinellas, and Trifectas across Japanese horse racing on Stake Sportsbook. Back the first two finishers in exact order with an Exacta, take the first two in any order with a Quinella, or go big and call the top three in exact order with a Trifecta. Find the right races for you on our horse racing calendar.
Bonus Streaks come to weekly and monthly bonuses
Claiming your bonuses just got a little more satisfying. Bonus Streaks now track how consistently you claim your eligible weekly and monthly bonuses, shown as a row of numbered checkpoints in the Claim Bonus window that ticks forward every time you claim on time. Weekly and monthly streaks are counted separately, and there's a small grace period built in, so a slightly late claim won't reset you straight away. New to bonuses? Our monthly bonus guide explains how they work.
How last week played out
Russell edges Verstappen in Baku
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix went right down to the wire! George Russell held off a charging Max Verstappen by a fraction of a second after two late Safety Cars wiped out his lead, while Kimi Antonelli fought back from the lower half of the grid to finish fifth and keep a commanding lead in the title race.
HEROIC win Stake Pulse Beat II
Our Stake Pulse circuit delivered another thriller in Stockholm. HEROIC came from a map down to beat 100 Thieves in the Beat II grand final, adding another Stake trophy to the Episode 3 title they won in Barcelona in July. Our Esport partner, Astralis, also put on a strong run, reaching the semi-finals.

The Bahrain Grand Prix, in Malaysia
F1 is heading back to Sepang in Kuala Lumpur! The Bahrain Grand Prix has been relocated to Malaysia this year, bringing F1 back to the circuit for the first time in years.
