Stickers

Balatro has 11 Stickers that can be applied to Jokers or Decks.

Stickers can be Stake Stickers, indicating previous wins with this Joker/Deck, or they can be one of three in-run stickers that have a direct effect on the Joker during the run.

The player cannot manually apply or remove any Stickers. If a Sticker is applied, it will be shown in the top corner of the card or deck (right if Stake Stickers, left otherwise). A Joker or Deck may only show a single Stake Sticker on it at any time, but can have multiple in-run stickers.

Jokers can have an Edition and one or more Stickers at the same time.

Eternal Sticker[]

Eternal Sticker

Jokers found in the shop or booster packs during Black Stake and higher runs have a 30% chance of getting the Eternal Sticker. These Jokers cannot be sold, nor can they be destroyed by any means, making any Eternal Joker a permanent addition to your build. Eternal Jokers can be found in shops and booster packs with a 30% chance of occurring for each Joker. Some Challenge Decks also make use of Eternal Jokers.

The indestructibility of Eternal Jokers creates some strategies that are exclusive to Black stake and higher. For example, if Madness is present on a build that consists solely of Eternal Jokers, it will gain its x0.5 Mult without being able to destroy any Jokers, turning it into a risk-free scaler. (However, Ceremonial Dagger's Mult is only added once it destroys a Joker, so it cannot be used in the same way.) Eternal Jokers can also remove or mitigate the downside of Spectral Cards that destroy Jokers, namely Hex and Ankh.

A Joker cannot have both the Eternal and Perishable Sticker at the same time. There are 11 Jokers that cannot receive the Eternal Sticker:

Perishable Sticker[]

Perishable Sticker

Jokers found in the shop or booster packs during Orange and Gold Stake runs have a 30% chance of getting Perishable Sticker. These Jokers last for five rounds, and become Debuffed afterward. A Debuffed Joker no longer provides any of its original buff nor edition, but still provides passive effects to other Jokers, such as increasing sell value with Gift Card, providing +3 Mult for Abstract Joker or adding its sell value to Swashbuckler or Temperance.

A Joker cannot have both the Perishable and Eternal Sticker at the same time. There are 18 Jokers that cannot receive the Perishable Sticker:

Rental Sticker[]

Rental Sticker

Jokers found in the shop or booster packs during Gold Stake runs have a 30% chance of getting the Rental Sticker. These Jokers cost $1 to purchase, but deduct $3 at the end of every round. This price is deducted before the round payout, meaning that it can lower your interest. If you have less than $3 when a Rental Joker activates, you will be put into debt.

Because Rental Jokers cost $1 up-front and sell for $1, they are effectively free if sold before the end of your next round, creating some strategies that are exclusive to Gold stake. Rental Jokers that create value in the shop (such as Hallucination), on blind select (such as Cartomancer) or during a blind (such as Mail-In Rebate) can be purchased, then sold before the end of a round for free value. Additionally, the ability to buy and sell a Joker for no effective cost creates free scaling for Campfire.

A Rental Joker can also have an Eternal or Perishable Sticker. All Jokers can receive the Rental Sticker.

Stake Stickers[]

There are eight different Stake Stickers. They are normally not visible on Jokers or Decks during a run, but Joker Stake Stickers can be viewed by enabling the "Display Stake Stickers during Run" option in the game settings. The Stickers can also be found on Jokers and Decks in their respective section of the Collection menu, as well as on decks in the "New Run" menu. Only the highest Sticker (from the most difficult stake) obtained on a Joker/Deck is shown. Getting a certain Sticker will also automatically unlock all the Stickers below it.

A Joker will gain the Sticker corresponding to the Stake of the run, once you beat Ante 8 with this Joker equipped. Jokers that were sold or destroyed before seeing the summary screen or Jokers bought after Ante 8 will not receive a Sticker, but debuffed Jokers do receive Stickers. A Deck similarly will gain the Sticker corresponding to the Stake of the run, once you beat Ante 8 with this Deck.

The game also keeps track of how many Stake Stickers you have earned for Jokers and Decks. This is found in the Profile menu, under Progress. For Jokers there are 1200 (150 Jokers * 8 Stickers) in total, and for Decks there are 120 (15 Decks * 8 Stickers). Some Achievements make use of these Stickers, such as Completionist++, which requires you to earn a Gold Sticker on every Joker.

There are eight Stake Stickers, which are listed here in the same order as their respective Stakes.
