This question will resolve based on UTC (GMT+0), and the date of exact time, that either an email (from noreply@stake) or a Telegram post from the official channel regarding the availability and release of the so-named ('October Monthly Bonus') bonus is sent or posted.

As I use the Telegram post time to the second for my chart, that is the first source of truth, however if they occur over a day change (11:59 and 12:01, for example), the Telegram post will take priority, whichever it is. The UNIX timestamp from exporting Telegram channels will be used primarily.

I will not post a telegram link here since that's weird, but I am using the official one, not any unofficial/scam ones that copy it and end up being later.

I continue to specify that this is when the .com site gets its bonus. I won't be making a market for the US site. Often, the US monthly bonus comes out a day before the main site. However, this is not always the case.

If there is no bonus specifically called a monthly bonus by end of day on October 31st 2025, when the clock rolls over UTC, this question will resolve as the final option, 'Never/The October Monthly will not release in October'.

If in a public release Stake specifically mentions it will not happen, it will resolve also resolve to the last option, 'Never/The October Monthly will not release in October'.

Some dates are grouped if I judge them to be low probability, mostly before/after the core week.

For October, it's pretty clean.

If it's announced it is cancelled, the market will remain open until the posted end time of end of day October 31st; in case they walk back their decision, and it still releases in October.

This does not resolve if it is a post-monthly or pre-monthly bonus, or some other bonus not related to the eponymous and so-desired Monthly Bonus.

I will mostly not participate in the market because I'm really busy these days.

MiaCat has predicted the 13th.

Here's a whole list of the dates of these bonuses, based on the Telegram announcement posts for Stake's main site, along with some random stats.

A heat map of the most common day of the month the drops were, overlapping the October 2025 calendar month.

This creates a nice probability distribution centered around the 13th of each month.
