Non-sticky (parachute) bonus
You deposit K 1,000 and get K 1,000 bonus. Your K 1,000 plays first. Win K 2,000 on it and you can cash out and forfeit the bonus. Lose it and the bonus balance becomes active, with wagering.
Sticky bonus
Deposit and bonus form one balance of K 2,000. You must finish the wagering before any withdrawal, and when you withdraw, the K 1,000 bonus is deducted. A balance of K 3,500 pays out K 2,500.
