How Wagering Requirements Work When Playing Prosperity Link With a Bonus

Wagering requirements (also called playthrough) are the main thing standing between a casino welcome bonus and a real cash withdrawal — and they work differently depending on which game you play. The good news for slot fans: slots typically contribute 100% toward clearing a playthrough requirement, making them the most favorable game type for burning through bonus funds.

What Exactly Is a Wagering Requirement?

A wagering requirement is a multiplier applied to your bonus (sometimes your bonus plus deposit) that determines how much you must bet before withdrawing. A 10× requirement on a $10 bonus means $100 in total wagers. A 20× requirement on the same $10 means $200. Miss the deadline and the bonus — along with any winnings tied to it — is forfeited.

Some operators set a 14-day expiry window on bonuses. That's not a lot of time if you're playing a medium-to-high volatility title like Wan Shi Ru Yi, where dry spells between bonus triggers are part of the design. Budget your sessions accordingly.

Do Prosperity Link Spins Count Toward Wagering?

Usually yes — but "usually" is doing real work in that sentence. Slots contribute 100% toward playthrough at most licensed US online casinos, per standard bonus terms. The catch: individual operators publish an eligible-game list, and specific prosperity link slot machine variants may or may not appear on it. Wan Shi Ru Yi and Cai Yun Heng Tong are separate titles — one could be eligible while the other is excluded.

Always pull up the full bonus terms before you spin a single reel with bonus funds active. If a variant is excluded, every bet you place on it contributes $0 toward clearing the requirement.

How to Check Whether Your Bonus Covers Prosperity Link

1. Claim the bonus and navigate to the terms page — not the promotional landing page, the actual terms PDF or accordion.
2. Search for "excluded games" or "eligible games" and look for IGT titles by name.
3. If Prosperity Link isn't listed explicitly, contact support before depositing bonus funds on it.
4. Confirm the expiry date and minimum deposit requirement at the same time.

Which States Can Play Prosperity Link With a Real-Money Bonus?

IGT PlayDigital launched Prosperity Link for online real-money play in July 2024 across Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Jersey, West Virginia, and Connecticut. Those are the only states where licensed operators can legally offer this title. If you're outside those five states, any site offering it for real money is unlicensed — no consumer protections apply and winnings may go unpaid.

A Note on RTP and Bonuses

Prosperity Link's published RTP sits at 95.92%, but that figure includes the progressive jackpot contribution. The base-game RTP without a jackpot hit is described as slightly below average. That matters when you're grinding through a wagering requirement: you're statistically losing a small percentage of each bet, so a high multiplier on a large bonus can erode your bankroll before you clear it. Understand the 95.92% RTP figure and its base-game caveat before sizing your deposit around a bonus offer.
