Well.. both yes and no. If you heard about it, there was a new law that states nobody could use the partnership in their marketing, they could just do it. On top of that Watford is still in the name and Everton is not, so there isn't really a clear indication that Stake will use Everton as their main sponsorship on marketing purses.
Last night on Southampton game we saw another hash clash, clearly both teams had sportsbet.io and stake sponsorship which would be both crypto casinos. However we haven't seen a big deal about it at all. BUT, the side that tells that it could be possible is the fact that we had something similar last year, and not this year, so if we go back to last year's method we could maybe have it.
According to this article from
The Guardian, Everton has clearly asked Stake to stop those bonus drops associated with them in August, so I wonder if they are aware of it but it's a little bit surprising to see this new "
Everton Cash Drop" happening last sunday, in October.
Stake.com told not to use Everton branding in $5,000 betting offer
Club’s shirt sponsor criticised for offering $10 free bet to anyone who wagers large amount in a week.
Everton FC has told its sponsor Stake.com to stop using its imagery in an international promotion offering a $10 free bet to anyone who wagers $5,000 in the space of a week.
Football fans and campaign groups had criticised the marketing scheme and questioned Everton’s apparent involvement.
The offer was targeted at an international audience and was visible – but not available – to customers with a UK internet address. It was linked to the team’s results and used club branding.
The Guardian understands that Everton, whose chief executive, Denise Barrett-Baxendale, said in 2020 that “in an ideal world” the club would not have a gambling company sponsoring its shirts, was not aware of the promotion before it was launched.

From the article it seems like Everton wants nothing to do in being tied to their promotions displayed on the site.
So why even agree upon sponsorship in the first place?
Very strange & odd that the fans are not wanting to be part of this either, from how the article portrait them in this content.
Since Watford got relegated, Stake has seem to all but separated themselves in promoting any such bonus drops or events in which they released the monthly when they won.
Somebody even mentioned they stopped promoting the 'If they score you win your bet' guarantee offered on the site since they signed on with the partnership deal.
