(CNBNews)(December 29, 2020)--One of the most frustrating yet common issues that players face when picking a welcome bonus is not being able to differentiate between sticky and non-sticky bonuses. What usually happens is you get your hands on an attractive bonus and want to withdraw the funds without meeting the wagering requirements. And this is where the trouble starts. Sticky vs. Non-Sticky Bonuses Sticky bonuses are the ones that can be wagered but not withdrawn. It’s mentioned in the online casino’s Terms and Conditions as “for wagering only”. A sticky bonus can be worth as much as a traditional bonus and if you’re a veteran gambler with a fixed bankroll, you aren’t as reliant on the bonus as a beginner. Nonetheless, welcome gifts are a...

(CNBNews)(December 29, 2020)--Technically speaking, sporting events hosted at neutral venues should give all participating teams an equal chance of winning. But that’s hardly the case as a court or home-field advantage still exists.

Most neutral-venue games are traditionally held at least two weeks after their previous games. Hence, punters can expect both sides to be a tad rusty at first. There are quite a few factors to consider while picking the odds during neutral-venue games. Let’s explore a few in detail.
