What is a sticky bonus? People who have been out of touch with the online casino industry for the last couple of years might see the term “sticky bonus” and be puzzled to understand what it exactly means. Since for a long time there was only one kind of bonus, the sign up bonus, the term “Sticky” requires a bit of explanation.

Although we don’t know that for a fact, a good guess to the origins of the sticky bonus is when online casinos saw that some players where taking advantage of their generous offers, playing a little blackjack and than cashing out the bonus never to return. Naturally, since online casinos wanted to stay in business they decided that blackjack and some other popular games will be virtually locked out and not available for most bonus clearing activities. However those games like blackjack, roulette and craps are the corner stone of almost every casino. These games are usually The reason why a player registers for a casino in the first place. The casino marketing people sat and thought and have decided to create a new kind of casino bonus, the sticky bonus.

We will let others decide if the casino legend described above is true or false, the reality is that we have a new casino bonus to explain. The bonus is called sticky, since once you have cleared the requirements and are ready to make a withdrawal, the bonus itself will stick in the casino while any other cash you have in your account, including any winnings, will be credited back to you (by check, Neteller, bank account, or any other withdrawal method you have chosen). The sticky bonus is exactly that, a bonus that allows you to make large bets with risking less money. Think of it as some sort of boost to your online bankroll.

If you are disappointed by not being able to withdraw the bonus, perhaps you will find solace by the fact that the sticky bonuses tend to be much bigger than their more conservative brother – the sign up bonus. They also usually have much lighter wagering requirements which do not become a burden if you have made a big deposit.

There are typically two types of sticky bonuses: The first kind is the one that disappears once you have made your first withdrawal. You winnings will be returned to you, but the sticky bonus not. The second kind of sticky bonus is a “bonus with an expiration date”. Making a withdrawal will not make the bonus disappear; it will stay in your account ready to be used for further wagering until exhausted. The terms which clarify when the bonus disappears are different for each casino so make sure to read the terms of use of the promotion.
