Stake UFC Split Decision Insurance: How the $250 Refund Works

Stake’s UFC Split Decision Insurance can return the qualifying stake when a pre-match Winner selection loses by split decision. The promotion runs through December 31, 2026, with a $5 minimum and a maximum return of $250.

The offer is narrow by design: it applies to a specific result, on a specific market, and includes several eligibility limits. Here is what matters before treating a UFC wager as covered.

Quick answer

A qualifying bet must be a pre-match single on the Winner market. Only the first qualifying bet per customer, per fight is covered. If that selection loses by split decision according to the official UFC result, the promotion can return the original stake up to the $250 cap.

What counts as a split decision?

A split decision means the judges do not all pick the same winner: one judge favors one athlete while the other two favor the opponent. A unanimous decision, majority decision or other loss does not match this promotion’s trigger. For current-event context, the official UFC Fight Night event page lists Rosas Jr. vs Barcelos for September 26, 2026.

Key eligibility rules

The minimum qualifying amount is $5 or the equivalent in another supported currency. The protection is capped at $250 or equivalent. Cashed-out and voided bets are excluded, and Dana White Contender Series fights are not covered.

The promotion also excludes attempts to cover both sides of the same fight. A user who backs both fighters in the same market can be disqualified from the offer.

When is the return credited?

A qualifying return may take up to 48 hours to be processed and credited after the official result.
