Latest casino articlesSticky Casino BonusesSaturday March 28th, 2026Actually there are quite many casinos where you can win back bonuses. The main issue here is the degree of your trust to the casino, and how honest is the casino. The bonus with low wager may mean that the games are "charged". I do not hesitate about casinos with Cryptologic or Microgaming software, but casinos with their own software may be not so honest to goodness. Before you play with casino having its own software, you are sure to read through the players' feedback. The best place to do it is to surf the forums, use the search and feel free to ask questions, in most cases it will help you to save time and money. I wish you luck in finding beneficial bonus offers and in winning them back! The so-called "sticky" casino bonuses appeared a few years ago, as a way of fighting with the casino bonus hunters. Well, indeed, why should a hunter need a bonus he cannot withdraw? The point of the bonus is that it always remains on the account, though it is stuck to it. If you deposit $100 and get another $100 as a sticky casino bonus and then you lose $90, you will be able to withdraw only $10, as a hundred is un-withdrawable bonus of the remaining $110. At present, there are hardly any absolutely "sticky" bonuses left; they were quickly replaced with "phantom" casino bonuses. If a sticky bonus remained on the account after the withdrawal of the funds (and you can play with this bonus money and win good money), a "phantom" bonus is written off at the first money withdrawal. Though now all un-withdrawable bonuses are phantom, they are still called sticky casino bonuses for old time's sake. The difference is not so critical in our case, so I shall use the terms "sticky" and "phantom" as synonyms. Why should I write here about sticky casino bonuses if they were invented to fight against casino bonus hunters? Just because you can take advantage of them as well. If you play Blackjack at $3, you are sure to take no advantage of the bonus. You should take risks in order to make the bonus work. Just imagine, if you win there is no use in bonus. If you lose, especially if you lose big, the bonus will help you to "shove off the bottom" and go up. This option does not seem to be ours either, we are not going to lose, quite on the contrary. However sometimes you need to put something at stake or even sacrifice if you want to win something. The optimal strategy of playing the sticky casino bonuses is as follows: you take all your money (deposit plus bonus) and you place them at some event with the odds and payout equal to 1 : 1, for example, odd bet in the Roulette, Baccarat bet, bet on the Casino War, pay go or Blackjack. Look what is happening in the case. (find the basic games strategy on Casino Games Strategies page) Let's assume - you deposit $50 and you got another $50 of a sticky bonus, so you have a hundred. You place it on odds in Roulette, for simplicity sake, let's imagine, that the win probability equals to 50% (not 48%, as in reality, so we do not have to make rounding in the calculations). So, you are going to lose in half the cases and you lose your $50. But you are going to win another half cases and you will have as much as $200 on your account, where $50 refers to your deposit, another $50 is your bonus and $100 is a pure win. The total mathematical expectation of bonus use is: 50%*$100-50%*$50=$25. In our ideal case with this strategy, the sticky bonus is similar to half of the un-sticky bonus! So, you get the bonus, go nap on and if you lose - go to the next casino, if you win - win the bonus back as if it was not a sticky bonus and withdraw the win. I think you understand that you should have a money reserve to ensure efficiency of this scheme, as well as you should know some trustworthy casinos with sticky bonuses for game. Yes, it is a risky strategy and it is not for novices at all, but expert players successfully use sticky casino bonuses in their game. If you are going to try it, look for a casino with the bonuses exceeding 100% and sticky bonuses sometimes reach 300%, in which case you sacrifice less money, but if you win - you get a bigger win. You should also pay attention to the amount of bets required for winning back and restrictions applied to the games, but here the same rules are applied as with the common casino bonuses.
