Playthrough, also called a wagering requirement, is the amount of play a player must complete before won Sweeps Coins can be redeemed. At many sweepstakes casinos, SC must be played through at least once, written as 1x.
The requirement prevents instant cash-outs of freshly received SC and ensures coins are actually used in games first. Only SC that has cleared its playthrough counts toward the minimum redemption balance, so tracking progress matters before requesting a payout.
Example usage
- Stake.us applies a 1x playthrough on Stake Cash.
- Bonus SC must clear playthrough before redemption.
