Stake weekly recap: McGregor vs Holloway is confirmed, French Open kicks off, and Stake Ranked EP2 hits the LAN finals
Breaking news this week at Stake! Conor McGregor's return has been confirmed and the rematch with our very own Stake fighter - Max Holloway, is set as the headliner of UFC 329. We are also days out from the Stake Ranked EP2 LAN Finals - our second in-house CS2 tournament as well as the start of this year’s French Open at Roland Garros. Plenty of new things at Stake Casino and Stake Sportsbook to dig into too, starting with a fresh look at a new IRL ad for our flagship Plinko game.
The latest from Stake this week
McGregor vs Holloway rematch is officially booked
The fight you have been waiting for is finally back on. The McGregor vs Holloway rematch is confirmed as the main event of UFC 329, bringing one of the most anticipated stories in UFC history full circle more than a decade after their first meeting. UFC 329 markets are open now on Stake Sportsbook - early money is already moving on Holloway, but expect the line to swing several times before fight night. Read our UFC picks blog for our latest take.
Plinko gets its first IRL ad
Our flagship Stake Original Plinko casino game has just been featured in its first IRL ad campaign - a slick, real-world take on the simple bounce-and-drop mechanics that have made the game one of the most-played titles in the Stake Originals lineup. Watch the new spot here, then load Plinko up and try a few drops yourself.
Claim your monthly bonus in crypto and get an extra bonus
A big boost for crypto players this month: when you claim your Stake monthly bonus - including pre-monthly and post-monthly bonuses - in crypto rather than local currency, you will receive an extra bonus on top of your regular bonus amount! Stack it across the three claim windows and the top-ups add up fast. If you have not used the Stake Vault to manage crypto balances yet, this is a good week to set one up.
Where to put your sports bets this week
Three Grand-Slam-tier events are landing this week. The French Open opens, the F1 calendar reaches Montreal, and the second edition of our own CS2 tournament hits its finals. All current sportsbook offers are live on the Stake promotions page but these are the ones we are circling.
French Open: Roland Garros kicks off
The second tennis Grand Slam of the year opens this weekend at Roland Garros. Final Set Tiebreak Refund is active on both the men's main draw and the women's main draw - get your stake back if your match goes to a final-set tiebreak. With a 21-day fortnight ahead and brutal best-of-five formats on the men's side, this is the promotion you want in your back pocket. Read up on our French Open predictions before locking in your bets.
Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal
Formula 1 lands at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve from 22-24 May for the first Canadian Grand Prix to ever run as a Sprint weekend. Outright winner, podium finish, and constructor markets are all open on the Canadian GP betting page, with the full F1 ladder analysed in our F1 picks blog.
Stake Ranked EP2 LAN Finals
Our second in-house CS2 tournament reaches its LAN finals on 25 May. After the closed qualifiers earlier this month, the two surviving teams now meet on-stage with the six VRS-invited teams for a share of the prize pool and the EP2 title. Be sure to read our Stake Ranked predictions blog for our team-by-team breakdown.
UFC Fight Night cards across the rest of the month
Our UFC split decision insurance is active across every UFC card this month - refunding your stake on any winner-market bet that loses by split decision. Find the latest matchups on our UFC betting hub.
NBA conference finals
The Eastern and Western conference finals are about to tip off. Our NBA half-time payout covers you on every game: bet the Winner market, and if your team leads by 12+ at the half but loses, the bet still pays. Track the bracket on the NBA betting page.
NHL conference finals
The Stanley Cup playoffs are in their conference finals stage! Our NHL 2+ lead payout treats you as a winner when your team is up by two or more goals at the end of the second period but ends up losing. Open our NHL betting hub for fixture markets to get going today.

Premier Indian Cricket Series
India's biggest T20 competition is closing out the league phase before the playoffs begin. Our First Ball Payout pays out as a winner if your team hits a six off the first ball and still loses, and the Super Over Payout has you covered if your team loses in a Super Over. Look through our Indian cricket fixtures to lock in your bet.
Pakistan Super League
Pakistan's top T20 competition has both the same insurance lines: a first ball payout and a Super Over payout, each on pre-match singles in the Winner (incl. Super Over) market. Bet on the PSL schedule and enjoy our cricket promos today.

Our 9th inning refund is your insurance against a late MLB collapse - if your Winner (incl. extra innings) selection leads going into the ninth but loses, you get up to $100 back. MLB betting markets are open daily across the week.
