Sticky vs. Non-Sticky: Understanding the Bonus Dynamics

When you're looking at casino bonuses, understanding the difference between sticky and non-sticky offers can significantly impact your gaming experience and potential withdrawals. At Rakoo Casino, we offer various bonus types, and knowing how each works helps you make informed decisions about which promotions to claim.

Non-sticky bonuses (sometimes called parachute or forfeitable bonuses) keep your deposit and bonus funds separate. This separation gives you more flexibility and generally better value. With these bonuses, you play with your deposit first, and if you win, you can withdraw those winnings without meeting wagering requirements—simply by forfeiting the bonus amount.

Sticky bonuses, on the other hand, combine your deposit with the bonus funds. While they might appear more generous at first glance, you'll need to complete the wagering requirements on the entire amount before making any withdrawals.

How Non-Sticky Bonuses Work at Rakoo

Our Welcome Bonus of 100% up to €/$6000 + 100 Free Spins operates as a non-sticky bonus. This means when you make your first deposit of at least €/$20, you'll receive matching bonus funds up to €/$6000, but these funds remain separate from your deposit.

Here's why this benefits you:

If you win while playing with your deposit money, you can withdraw those winnings immediately
You only need to meet the 40x wagering requirement if you dip into the bonus funds
You maintain control over when to activate the bonus portion

For example, if you deposit €/$100 and receive €/$100 in bonus funds, you'll play with your €/$100 first. If you hit a nice win and want to cash out, you can do so by forfeiting the €/$100 bonus.

Sticky Bonus Features at Rakoo

Some of our promotional offers, particularly certain free spins packages, function as sticky bonuses. With our Monday Free Spins promotion, players can use bonus codes RKFS20, RKFS50, or RKFS100 to claim up to 100 free spins.

When using sticky bonuses:

Winnings from these spins typically merge with the bonus amount
You'll need to meet wagering requirements before withdrawal
The maximum bet is capped at €/$6.5 when playing with bonus funds

Our Tuesday Cashback Bonus of 15% operates with a minimal 1x wagering requirement, making it one of our most player-friendly offers. VIP members can enjoy even higher cashback percentages up to 20%.

Which Games Work Best With Different Bonus Types?

Game selection matters when using bonus funds. With non-sticky bonuses at Rakoo Casino, you might consider playing higher volatility games like Empty the Bank Slots from Pragmatic Play. Since you're playing with your deposit first, higher-risk games with bigger potential payouts could let you score a withdrawal-ready win before touching bonus funds.

For sticky bonuses with wagering requirements, lower volatility games like Lucky Mai Tai Slots might be more strategic. These games typically offer more frequent, smaller wins that help you work through wagering requirements with less risk of depleting your balance.

Nature-themed games like Money Moose Slots with its 30 paylines and multiple bonus features offer a balanced volatility that works well with either bonus type.

Maximizing Your Bonus Strategy

To get the most value from Rakoo Casino bonuses, consider these approaches:

For non-sticky welcome bonuses, start with higher-stakes games to try for early wins you can withdraw
If you move to bonus funds, switch to lower-stake games to extend your playing time
With sticky bonuses, focus on meeting wagering requirements through steady, consistent play
Always check the specific terms for each promotion, as requirements may vary
Take advantage of our Friday Reload Bonus (50% up to €/$6000) to replenish your funds for weekend play

Our VIP program offers additional benefits across six levels, including increased withdrawal limits and personalized bonuses tailored to your playing style.

Payment Methods and Bonus Compatibility

Your choice of payment method can affect bonus eligibility. Rakoo Casino supports numerous options including traditional methods like Bank Transfer and cards, e-wallets such as Skrill and Neteller, and cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin.

Cryptocurrency deposits offer additional advantages for bonus hunters:

Faster processing times for both deposits and withdrawals
Enhanced privacy and security
