Sticky online casino bonuses are bonuses that are usually offered when a new player signs up with an online casino. It is a type of welcome, or sign up, bonus, which can be used by the player, but can never be withdrawn by the player. At times, this kind of bonus is also offered for non-welcome bonuses. There are a couple of strategies that are mainly used for sticky online casino bonuses.

Since winning big means that there is more chance of coming out with extra cash when using this kind of online casino bonus, many suggest that players bet either all of their sticky bonus, or at least half of their sticky bonus on one hand of blackjack, or another online casino game that can create large winnings. This way, if a player wins the hand, they will come out with a fairly large amount of money with which to wager, and can then place smaller wagers to increase their bankroll.

There is the flip side, which means that it could all be lost, and essentially, the player is back to where they started. Of course, there are many who would prefer to be more cautious, even if the money is “free” since it is possible to turn it into more money, which means potential winnings. Some say that this method is better mathematically.

Others suggest that betting one fifth, or perhaps a little more, of your total amount of chips per hand is a good way to go. Even though the betting amounts can be quite big, the more cautious player would prefer this method to the one above, where players are taking more of an all or nothing chance.

Players can also choose to simply bet at a constant slightly higher amount than they’re used to, say somewhere between $15 - $40 or even $50 per hand.

It is definitely useful to set an attainable target, and try to reach it. Once you have reached your target, and have also fulfilled the wagering requirements for the bonus, then simply wager as you usually would, for smaller amounts. That way, you have built your bankroll, and will not risk losing it should you have a losing streak, or a losing hand, depending on which method you are following.

Other times, it might simply be better to stop playing when you have reached your target, and cash out the portion of the winnings that are yours. This way, you will have played, had fun, and have been able to take home something from the experience, rather than leaving it in the online casino’s pockets.
