Your money stays yours

Non-sticky bonus: your deposit stays withdrawable

A non-sticky bonus keeps your money separate from the bonus. You play your own deposit first and can withdraw it at any point, no strings. The bonus only comes into play if you lose your deposit: a second chance, not a chain. 20 of the 27 casinos on the comparator work this way, and almost nobody explains the term in French.

Sticky versus non-sticky, in one sentence

With a sticky bonus, your deposit and the bonus are merged into a single balance: everything is locked until wagering is met, including your own money. With a non-sticky bonus, the two balances stay separate and yours stays free.

Situation	Sticky bonus	Non-sticky bonus
You deposit €100 and win straight away	Balance locked, wagering applies to the whole amount	You withdraw whenever you like, the bonus is simply cancelled
You deposit €100 and lose it all	The bonus was already in the balance, it went with it	The bonus activates: a second round begins
You want to stop midway	Not possible without losing the bonus and often the winnings	Possible at any time on your own balance

Why it is the most flexible format

Non-sticky removes the worst scenario of a standard bonus: winning and not being able to take the money out. While you play your deposit you are an ordinary player, with no bonus-imposed bet cap and no excluded slots. Only if you lose do the bonus rules apply, and by then you have nothing left to protect.

The practical consequence: with a non-sticky bonus, the right strategy on your own deposit is that of a normal player, not a wagering grinder. You pick your slot on its real RTP and volatility, not on its wagering contribution.

What you can play with it, without going wrong

Since your deposit is free, the question is simply which slot is holding up right now. The ranking of 1,705 slots by verified RTP compares stated with observed, and the simulator quantifies what your budget does across 10,000 sessions.

And if the bonus does activate, that is the moment to look at the bonus buy: our readings give the real buy price on 909 slots, which tells you how many attempts the bonus really funds.

Frequently asked questions

What is a non-sticky bonus?

A bonus that stays separate from your deposit. You play your own money first and can withdraw it unconditionally at any time; the bonus only activates if you lose your deposit. A sticky bonus, by contrast, merges both balances and locks everything until wagering is met.

How many casinos offer non-sticky bonuses?

20 of the 27 casinos tracked by the comparator, with amounts ranging from 100% to 400% of your deposit. It is stated in each offer description.

Is non-sticky better than no-wager?

They are two different advantages. No-wager frees the bonus winnings without replaying them. Non-sticky protects your own deposit. If you plan to withdraw quickly after winning with your money, non-sticky suits better; if you are after the bonus winnings themselves, no-wager wins.

What happens to the bonus if I withdraw my deposit?

It is cancelled, which is the point: the bonus was only a safety net in case of loss. You leave with your winnings and no wagering to clear, which is precisely the appeal of the format.

Is there a maximum bet with a non-sticky bonus?

While you are playing your own deposit, usually not: you are an ordinary player. The bet cap applies once the bonus is active. That is one of the least known advantages of the format.
