October is the month the season stops easing in and starts stacking up. An international window opens the month, and once it clears there are four Premier League matchweeks back to back with no break in them. If you are opening a Bet9ja account this month, the promotion code is YOHAIG.

What you get for entering the code

There is a promo field on the Bet9ja sign-up form, and plenty of new users leave it blank. Enter YOHAIG in that box and your new account qualifies for a welcome bonus of up to ₦100,000, scaled to your opening deposit. It is a one-time box, because the code will not attach to an account that already exists.

The code costs nothing to use. It works on new registrations only, and there are rollover terms attached, as there are on every offer of this kind. Check those terms before your first deposit, not after it clears.

Sign up with the YOHAIG promotion code and claim up to ₦100,000 welcome bonus.

The Super Eagles close the international window

Nations League matchdays three and four fall between 1 and 6 October, which means no club football in the first week. Nigeria travel to the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium to face Russia in a friendly on Tuesday 6 October. No kick-off time was confirmed at the time of writing, so look it up before you build anything.

What the Premier League gives you this month

League football resumes on Saturday 10 October. Arsenal host Leeds United in the lunchtime slot, Manchester United meet Tottenham Hotspur that evening, and Liverpool against Manchester City follows at Anfield on the Sunday afternoon. The 17th and 18th give you Everton against Chelsea, Newcastle United versus Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest against Arsenal.

Matchweek eight starts on Friday 23 October with Ipswich Town versus Nottingham Forest and peaks with Chelsea against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening. October finishes on Saturday 31st, Chelsea versus Manchester United at lunchtime and Aston Villa against Fulham in the evening.

One thing hanging over the month: Manchester City have reportedly been found guilty on almost all of the 115 charges brought against them. The penalty had not been announced when this went up. Should a points deduction follow, the outright markets reprice immediately, so read the news before backing anything long-term.

Why kick-off times move on 25 October

The United Kingdom returns to GMT on Sunday 25 October while Nigerian time stays where it is. Until Saturday the 24th, UK and Nigerian kick-off times read identically. From the 25th you add an hour, so a 15:00 English kick-off is 16:00 Nigerian time.

Practical notes for October

• 
  
• Fill the promo field while registering, since there is no way back to it. It is a one-time field.
  
• Decide what the whole month costs you before 10 October. Four matchweeks with no break is a long stretch to stay disciplined.
