A non-sticky bonus, also known as a lifeline bonus is a deposit-based bonus, however the deposit balance is not restricted or tied to any wagering requirement. This means you have the opportunity to withdraw your winnings and your remaining deposit, if you manage to hit a win whilst playing using your deposit balance. Should you decide to withdraw, your bonus balance is forfeited. If you decide to continue playing, once the bonus balance kicks in it becomes restricted until either you lose or complete the wagering requirements. View example

Risk free spins, also known as WinSpins, a term coined by Enlabs casino brands, are simply risk free bets for a specific amount. A player needs to place a real money bet of let’s say €0.20 on a certain slot and they will instantly receive a refund of €0.20 which is immediately added to their balance on top of any wins (if any). These spins have no wagering requirements.

Sometimes online casinos run special promotions to promote specific games and entice players to play these games by offering them cash back on their losses or on their bets.

A wagering requirement is a condition usually set on casino deposit bonuses, free money and free spins whereby:

• For free spins > a player is required to wager their free spins winnings a certain number of times before they can withdraw the funds.
• For a sticky deposit bonus > a player is required to wager their deposit and/or bonus a certain number of times before they can withdraw the funds.
• For a non-sticky deposit bonus > the wagering only applies once the deposit balance of a player is depleted and they continue to play using bonus funds. In this case a player is required to wager their bonus a certain number of times before they can withdraw the funds.

When an online casino stakes the initial bankroll for its new customers to try out its casino in the form of a bonus, free money or free spins, it does so at an expense. In order to alleviate the expense, it necessitates the participants who take up the offer, to re-invest this back into the business by rolling over any free spin winnings or a bonus balance a certain number of times.

Yes, there is a possibility of converting a bonus but the chances are pretty low due to the wagering requirements, and maximum bet limits imposed. Many terms also limit a players game selection by blocking off slots which they categorise as high risk. This makes it harder to convert a bonus, however if a player is smart and lucky enough to hit a good win from the start there is a possibility to convert the bonus.

Most terms you come across will have between 20 to 30x wagering required, however what you need to check is whether the wagering requirement is on the bonus, or both the deposit plus bonus amount. Preferably with a wagering requirement of 30x you want to look for a bonus which is based only on the bonus balance and not both. Check out our non-sticky bonus guide.

The jackpot usually triggers randomly, quite often lavishing winners with life-changing sums of cash. Jackpots on progressive casino games have been known to reach over $15,000,000.
