A casino bonus that can be withdrawn once the wagering requirements are met. Also known as a “parachute bonus,” it is a type of casino bonus that allows players to separate their deposit funds from the bonus funds.
Your deposit and bonus are kept in separate pools. You play with your deposit first, and only use the bonus if your deposit is exhausted. You can withdraw your winnings from your deposit at any time, even before meeting the bonus wagering requirements. While you must meet wagering requirements to withdraw the bonus itself, these requirements are often more lenient compared to sticky bonuses. Once you meet the wagering requirements, the bonus can be withdrawn as real money.
The main benefits of this type of bonus are that it allows players to enjoy risk-free play with their deposit, as they can withdraw winnings without affecting the bonus. Also, the terms are generally easier to understand, making them more appealing to players.
Suppose you deposit £100 and receive a 100% non-sticky bonus, giving you an additional £100 in bonus funds. You start playing with your £100 deposit. If you win and decide to withdraw before using the bonus funds, you can do so without any wagering requirements. However, if you lose your initial £100, you’ll then start using the £100 bonus, which will have wagering requirements attached before any winnings can be withdrawn.
In contrast, a sticky bonus, also known as a “phantom” or “non-cashable” bonus, is integrated with your deposit but cannot be withdrawn. It serves solely to enhance your wagering capacity. When you request a withdrawal, the sticky bonus amount is deducted from your balance.
