Sticky, non-sticky, and the two wallets
A sticky bonus keeps the deposit and the bonus in one balance until wagering is finished. When the terms clearly separate cash from bonus, the cash can be withdrawn and the bonus declined.
Sticky glues deposit and bonus until playthrough is done. Non-sticky keeps two wallets. Cash is used first. If you have not touched the bonus, you can usually take the deposit home.

What is the difference between a sticky bonus and a non-sticky bonus?
With a non-sticky bonus, cash and the bonus sit in separate wallets, and real money is used first. Wagering usually runs on the bonus wallet once the cash is gone. If the bonus is untouched, you can usually withdraw the deposit and forfeit the rest. A sticky bonus keeps both together until playthrough ends, so the deposit stays in.
Third type: real money first, winnings above a reference move to the bonus
PASINO's bonus terms (read 9 October 2026) describe a third wallet type. With CHF 500 real money and a CHF 500 bonus, stakes come from the real balance first. A win first refills the real balance up to the original deposit, and the rest is credited to the bonus balance. If a stake mixes both balances, the win is split in the same ratio. Root Score treats this like sticky: wallet 0, no +2.5. PASINO bonus terms
Why is Bull Casino the non-sticky example?
Bull Casino’s welcome is sold as non-sticky: 200% up to €400 plus 200 spins, at 40x. If the 40x looks unsuitable by the second day, the deposit can still leave, provided the bonus is untouched. Confirm that in the live cashier. If the cashier deducts the bonus on the way out, that is a different product.
What is the Simsinos first-deposit offer?
Simsinos is listed first because a 0x match is rare here. The vault card prints the same first deposit as the review: 0x wagering, 100% up to €250, plus 110 spins. There is no max conversion on the match. One withdrawal request while that bonus is active voids it. The score treats the match as wager-free.
When does the option to withdraw the deposit end?
A non-sticky bonus helps only if you actually stop. Touch the bonus wallet and the option to take the deposit and leave is gone. Spins credited to the bonus, a reload in the same wallet, or a quest drop can tie the balances together. If you wanted the deposit back, leave the bonus wallet unopened.
How does Root Score treat a non-sticky bonus?
Non-sticky is a fairness input because the option to stop has a cash value. It does not turn a 40x requirement on bonus plus deposit into a 0x offer. The card still prints whether wagering applies to the bonus or to bonus plus deposit, the clock, and the cap. Commissions do not write the score.
