Racing Bonuses Ride into Red Dead Online this Month

Get ready to blast across the finish line in Red Dead Online to make the most of monthly racing bonuses.


Polish your stirrups and tighten your saddles (or whatever it is you can do with horse tack) – this month’s Red Dead Online bonuses have just crossed the finish line and they’re focusing on racing! Beyond extra payouts and special unlocks for races, a number of other activities are also more lucrative for a limited time, joining various additional offers valid through the 1st of July.

Races typically aren’t on the top of outlaws’ lists of preferred activities to spend their time with, as by default the reward is relatively low compared to the effort put in – especially if you aren’t a skilled jockey. This month things are a bit different however, with a massive 4X RP and RDO$ payout boost on all races!

Beyond becoming astronomically more lucrative through the 1st of July, racing also had some added incentives – every week this month, you’ll have the chance to unlock a new item for free by placing within the top 3 of any race. In order, these are the Plaid Cap through the 10th of June, an Offer for 40% off a Stable Slot through the 17th of June, the Red Salter Shoes through the 24th and finally an Offer for 50% off a Vest until July rolls around.

Giddy up!

Not every outlaw is a swift racer, but luckily there are other activities in Red Dead Online getting the bonus treatment this month. A Land of Opportunities, Call to Arms and Featured Series all benefit from doubled rewards, and you can bag a free gift of 50 Split Point Revolver Ammo and 50 Split Point Pistol Ammo if you purchase any weapon modification – many of which are discounted!

Players who simply log into Red Dead Online anytime before the 1st of July will also receive the Oregano Mutton, a Hawkmoth Bola, and 2 Potent Snake Oils for free. Talk about low effort! You can also get a North Clingman Treasure Map by crafting any Trinket, while ranking up 5 times before July 1 will net you a Cardozo Vest.

You can dress up your Red Dead Online character as a shadowy gunslinger for free with this month’s community outfit, designed by user “CallsignUnholyBandit”. Consisting of a Cutter Hat, Leather Duster, Richfield Vest, Everyday Overshirt (Male), Iniesta Shirtwaist (Female), McCrum Pants, Range Gloves and Worn Ropers Boots, this is a perfect way to look menacing on the cheap.

Non-racing activities also get a chance to shine.

This month’s clothing rotation brings back the Manteca Hat, Porter Jacket, Morning Tail Coat, and Morales Vest to stores throughout the frontier through the 1st of July. Discounts on the other hand feature 30% off on all Role outfits, 40% off on American Paint Horses and half priced dentistry, among others.

Check back next month to see what July holds in store for Red Dead Online bonuses!

Ever since the original Red Dead Redemption was released back in 2010 and swiftly completed by Matt he has been eagerly anticipating another return to the Wild West. In Matt's totally non-biased opinion the story told in the sequel, Red Dead Redemption 2, is one of the best ever (at least as far as games go). And while some story DLC would be great, Matt isn't counting on it!
