What is a non-sticky bonus?
A non-sticky bonus (also called a detachable or separable bonus) is a casino bonus where your deposited funds and the bonus funds are kept separate. This means you can withdraw your original deposit at any time — but doing so will forfeit the bonus and any winnings from it.
The key advantage
Non-sticky bonuses are more player-friendly than sticky ones. If you’ve been playing with a bonus and you’ve built up some winnings, you can choose to withdraw your original deposit and anything won from it without being locked in by the bonus wagering requirements. The bonus simply disappears when you withdraw.
When non-sticky makes sense
Non-sticky bonuses suit players who value flexibility over maximum bonus extraction. You can claim the bonus for some free play, and if things go well, withdraw your deposit and real winnings without needing to complete a potentially lengthy wagering requirement. If things don’t go well, you’ve only risked your deposit as normal.
