A bonus that is not removed from a player’s account until they fail to meet the requirements to retain it. These funds are intended solely for wagering purposes, allowing you to place bets and potentially generate winnings. However, the bonus amount itself remains non-withdrawable, even if you meet the wagering requirements and accrue winnings.
For example, if you receive a £50 sticky bonus and win £200, your account balance would reflect £250. While the £200 in winnings may be available for withdrawal, the initial £50 bonus cannot be withdrawn. This structure encourages players to continue wagering within the casino platform.
While the actual bonus amount is not withdrawable, any winnings earned from using that bonus can be withdrawn after fulfilling certain wagering requirements. This means players can potentially profit from a sticky bonus, but they must meet specific conditions to access those profits.
Sticky bonuses usually come with wagering requirements that dictate how many times the bonus amount (and sometimes the deposit amount) must be wagered before the player can withdraw any winnings derived from the bonus. These requirements can vary widely between casinos.
There are generally two main types of sticky bonuses: “Expiring Sticky Bonuses” and “Permanent Sticky Bonuses.” Expiring sticky bonuses disappear from a player’s account after a certain period or after the player decides to make a withdrawal. Permanent sticky bonuses remain in the player’s account indefinitely, only counting toward wagering and not being withdrawable.
