Sticky vs Non-Sticky Bonus

Whether bonus funds are ever withdrawable (non-sticky) or only their winnings are (sticky) — and how deposits are staked relative to bonus money.

Non-sticky (parachute) bonuses play the deposit first: win early and withdraw, and the untouched bonus simply cancels. Sticky bonuses commingle funds and never pay out the bonus itself.

Why informed players filter on this

Non-sticky structures dramatically improve player expected value — early wins escape the wagering machine — and savvy audiences (streamer communities, bonus analysts) treat stickiness as a primary brand filter. Operators price that generosity into lower match sizes. Comparison content that classifies bonuses on this axis serves the informed segment most other sites ignore.
