# promo\_stake

**Goal:** Place promo tickets as **`customer_promo`** using **bonus** or **free** (freebet facet) stake types; both are **accepted**.

| Stake   | Java builder                   | Wire `stake[].type` | Routing facet |
| ------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------- | ------------- |
| Bonus   | `Stake.newBonusStakeBuilder()` | `"bonus"`           | `bonus`       |
| Freebet | `Stake.newFreeStakeBuilder()`  | `"free"`            | `freebet`     |

## How to build the request (Java SDK)

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Set the end customer and selection

Use `EndCustomer` **`customer_promo`** and a UF decimal selection on **`sr:match:15050881`**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Use a promo stake

Use `Stake.newBonusStakeBuilder()` **or** `Stake.newFreeStakeBuilder()`—not cash.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Send the ticket

Call `sendTicket`; both stake paths are accepted.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

            .build())
        .build())
    .build();
TicketResponse bonusResp = mbsSdk.getTicketProtocol().sendTicket(bonusReq);
// ACCEPTED

// Freebet: Stake.newFreeStakeBuilder().setAmount(...).setCurrency("EUR").build();
// wire type "free" (routing facet freebet)

{% hint style="info" %}
`endCustomer` / `endCustomer.id` are optional in the Ticket 3.0 schema but **mandatory for this sandbox scenario** (routing). **Ignored by sandbox** means the field is not used for routing and not used when building the reply (schema-only for the WebSocket / Ticket 3.0 envelope).
{% endhint %}

## Expected response

| Java getter    | Expected value              |
| -------------- | --------------------------- |
| `getStatus()`  | `AcceptanceStatus.ACCEPTED` |
| `getCode()`    | `0`                         |
| `getMessage()` | `"accepted"` (sandbox)      |

Bonus reply selection message includes `stake=bonus`; freebet includes `stake=freebet`.

## Common mistakes

| Mistake                                      | Result                                  |
| -------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Cash stake with `customer_promo`             | Does not match promo\_stake routes      |
| Confusing wire `"free"` with facet `freebet` | Facet is `freebet`; wire type is `free` |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sportradar.com/transaction30api/sandbox/user-manual/promo_stake.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
