They have a few different options available, but I can't picture a scenario in which it would be worth it.
For instance, buying instant hashrate to point toward your pool currently costs 73 sats/th per day, but my home miners are only earning me about 60 sats/th per day. Assuming I would earn about the same amount per TH purchased, I would be losing 13 sats a day on the deal.
Taking a look at the hashrate auctions (bidding on hashrate to be delivered at a later date) it looks like you may be able to score a bit better deal there. A lot of the auctions seem to have been closing at around 50 sats/th per day, which would translate to about 10 sats profit/th per day, assuming you win the auction at or below 50 sats/th.
They also have the "Fixed Return Mining" option, which costs about 47 sats/th per day. However, this option you just keep mining until you receive a set return with an estimated profit of about 67,500 sats... over a period of 95 days... Though it could be a shorter period if you reach the target sooner, or it could be a longer period if you still haven't reached the target in 95 days. That works out to around 1.42 sats/th of profit per day, before taking pool fees into account. And remember, pool fees are calculated on your total revenue, not your profit. So your revenue is estimated to come in at about 2,318,000 sats for the full 95 days, the cost of purchasing the hashrate is about 2,250,500, and a pool fee of even a minimal amount of 1% is 23,180 sats. Meaning you would only actually make about 44,320 of profit, or about 0.93 sats/th per day, or 0.45 sats/th per day if your pool fee is 2% instead. Oh, and there wasn't any available hashrate for this buying option at the time I looked, either.
Sound enticing yet? Not to me.
