Saw this come up in another thread and wanted to add my take. The honest answer is when it comes to Jackpotjoy and Barber Shop Uncut.
Sticky bonuses where you cannot withdraw the bonus amount itself are generally worse than cash bonuses even with a lower headline figure.
RTP is the return to player percentage over millions of spins. In any individual session it means almost nothing.
EV check on Jackpotjoy welcome bonus: With 30x wagering on a £100 bonus, you need to stake £3000. At a 4% house edge that costs £20 to complete. Expected value: £20. Negative EV — treat as entertainment cost, not profit opportunity.
Key stats: Jackpotjoy — founded 2002, 600 games, withdrawals typically within 3 hours. Barber Shop Uncut — Thunderkick, 97% RTP, medium variance.
If a casino is asking for documents before you can withdraw that is standard KYC not a scam. Upload them early to avoid delays.
