October is where the fixture list stops being polite. 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 plan to register with Bet9ja in October, the code you want is YOHAIG.

What the YOHAIG code actually does

There is a promo field on the Bet9ja sign-up form, and plenty of new users leave it blank. Type YOHAIG into that box and the account is flagged for the welcome offer, worth up to ₦100,000 depending on your first deposit. There is no way to apply it later, which is why the field matters at sign-up.

The code itself is free. It applies to new accounts only, and the bonus carries rollover conditions like every welcome offer in the Nigerian market. Read them on the promo page before you fund the account.

Nigeria in Russia to finish the break

The Nations League plays two more rounds from the 1st to the 6th, and the clubs sit out until after that. 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.

The club season returns on 10 October

Club football restarts on Saturday 10 October. The Saturday runs from Arsenal against Leeds United through to Manchester United versus Tottenham Hotspur, then Anfield has Liverpool against Manchester City on Sunday. 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.

Worth noting: Manchester City have reportedly been found guilty on all but one of their 115 charges. What the punishment looks like was still unknown at the time of writing. Should a points deduction follow, the outright markets reprice immediately, so read the news before backing anything long-term.

A timing note worth more than most tips

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 onward, add an hour: a match listed at 15:00 in England starts at 16:00 in Nigeria.

How to approach a month this full

• 
  
• Fill the promo field while registering, since there is no way back to it. YOHAIG only works on the way in.
  
• Decide what the whole month costs you before 10 October. Four straight matchweeks makes it easy to drift.
