Sticky vs Non-Sticky Bonus

Bonuses & promotionsSticky bonus

Whether a bonus is 'sticky' or 'non-sticky' changes how you can withdraw. This guide explains the difference, with hypothetical examples only.

Key takeaways
  • A sticky bonus is locked to your balance — you cannot withdraw the bonus itself, and usually must meet wagering before withdrawing winnings.
  • A non-sticky bonus keeps your deposit separate from the bonus, so you can withdraw your own funds and winnings on them without touching the bonus.
  • Non-sticky is more player-friendly because you can withdraw your own money any time.

Non-sticky bonus

With a non-sticky (or 'parachute') bonus, your deposit and bonus are kept separate. You can withdraw your own funds and any winnings on them without touching the bonus, which is the most player-friendly setup.

Sticky bonus

A sticky bonus is locked to your balance. You cannot withdraw the bonus itself, and often must meet wagering before withdrawing any winnings.

Example. With a sticky bonus, the bonus amount is deducted when you withdraw — you keep the winnings above it, but not the bonus funds.

Why it matters

Non-sticky bonuses let you withdraw your own money any time, so the risk is lower. Sticky bonuses tie your funds up until conditions are met.
