October is where the fixture list stops being polite. A short international stretch comes first, then four straight Premier League matchweeks with nothing in between. 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. Type YOHAIG into that box and the account is flagged for the welcome offer, worth up to ₦100,000 depending on your first 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. New customers only, and the bonus comes with wagering conditions, which is standard across Read the current offer market. Check those terms before your first deposit, not after it clears.

Open an account using the code YOHAIG for up to ₦100,000 as a welcome bonus.

Nigeria in Russia to finish the break

The UEFA Nations League runs its third and fourth rounds between the 1st and the 6th of October, so the opening week is international football only. The Super Eagles finish their break against Russia in Nizhny Novgorod on Tuesday 6 October. The kick-off time was still unannounced when this went up, so confirm it before you stake.

The club season returns on 10 October

League football resumes on Saturday 10 October. Arsenal versus Leeds United opens it at lunchtime, Manchester United take on Tottenham Hotspur later that day, and Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield on the Sunday. The 17th and 18th give you Everton against Chelsea, Newcastle United versus Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest against Arsenal.

Friday 23 October opens the next round with Ipswich Town against Nottingham Forest, and Chelsea versus Tottenham Hotspur headlines the Saturday. 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. No sanction had been confirmed when this was written. If anything lands mid-season it moves the title and relegation markets hard, so watch the news before you touch a long-range bet.

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. Through to the 24th the two clocks match exactly. From the 25th onward, add an hour: a match listed at 15:00 in England starts at 16:00 in Nigeria.
