Sticky Bonus

Sticky bonus is a type of casino bonus where the bonus funds cannot be withdrawn — they exist solely to generate real-money winnings and are removed from your balance once wagering requirements are met.

Unlike a cashable (or “non-sticky”) bonus, a sticky bonus never converts into withdrawable cash itself. When you complete the required wagering, only the net winnings above the bonus amount are yours to keep. For example: if you receive a $50 sticky bonus and wager through it to produce a $120 balance, the $50 bonus is stripped away and you withdraw $70. If your balance drops to $30 during play, the full $50 bonus is still deducted at the end — leaving you with nothing to withdraw.

In crash gambling, sticky bonuses are most commonly offered as part of welcome packages or reload promotions. Because crash games are fast-paced and high-variance, a sticky bonus can disappear quickly if you chase high multipliers. The safest approach is to use the bonus on lower-risk, moderate-multiplier targets — this keeps your balance alive long enough to grind through the wagering requirement. That said, low-multiplier play on crash games also means slower progress toward clearing the requirement, so there is an inherent tension in any strategy you choose.

Key points to understand about a sticky bonus before accepting one:

• Contribution rate: Check whether crash games contribute 100% toward the wagering requirement — some casinos restrict this to slots only.
• Maximum bet rule: Most sticky bonus terms cap the bet size per round while the bonus is active. Exceeding it can void your winnings.
• Game restrictions: Some platforms exclude specific crash titles from bonus play entirely.
• Wagering multiplier: A 30x wagering requirement on a $50 sticky bonus means you must wager $1,500 before any withdrawal is processed.

Always read the full terms and conditions before activating a sticky bonus. The structure rewards patience and disciplined bankroll management rather than aggressive, high-multiplier play.
