Lucktastic Exposed — Can You Make Some Cash with It?
Lucktastic Review
Looking at Lucktastic (assuming the conceptual use of words such as Luck is Fantastic) it all seems fairly simple and straightforward. This is an application for Android and iPhones for playing scratch games online. Even better, it’s free. So what’s the catch?
Where Do I Start at Lucktastic?
Of course, the first thing players have to do is download the App on their phone, set up an account, and then start to play. Ah – the catch! You have to be a US citizen to play. More on why shortly. Let’s go back to the games. Players win tokens that can be used to get more scratches. The token value (i.e. winnings) is between $1 to $100. What a player wins is divided into what can be used to redeem and what can be used to cash in. It appears, that cashing in means trading that part of your wallet for coupons. One article referenced Amazon Gift Cards though it does look like there are other advertisers that provide coupon rewards.

Consecutive day play is encouraged with the US $5,000 a US $10,000 scratch cards. To “unlock” the US $5,000 scratch card, players must play five days consecutively. Ditto for the US $10,000 scratch card but for ten days. Oops, there is also a US $25,000 sweepstakes that have terms and conditions of play.
How to Claim Winnings on Luckstatic
Players can actually cash out their account as long as it is over $10 either by receiving a check (7 – 10 business days) or using a system called Dwolla. To activate this, click on the Four Leaf Clover. It will open a menu of options. If you don’t have a Dwolla Account, it will walk you through the process of opening one. Dwolla is a US platform for money transfers. It looks pretty professional though it does look like you have to be a US citizen to register.
How Does Lucktastic Do It?
Ah, the catch! Firstly, let’s go back to the ole you have to be a US citizen to play. This is because the site is funded by advertising. It doesn’t appear that this translates into receiving spam but instead prior to playing the scratch card, players are offered advertising to view. You do have a choice on whether you have to read before you play and it does appear that whether you do or not, does not affect winning. But, keep in mind – the more tokens you cash to play, the more advertising you are offered.
What Else?
Surfing around and reading some of the comments players have made, it does sound like the App itself might be a little sluggish, and/or your ability to play depends on how new your phone is. As I am not a US citizen, I couldn’t register to play, I did not find this out firsthand.
Lastly at Lucktastic
Given that you are not actually giving these guys any credit card details (it is free) and the game itself is very straightforward, there can’t be that many questions. But if you do, the operator of the site is Jump Ramp Games out of New York with a snail mail and email address, plus a Twitter account. There are no phone numbers. There are no terms and conditions with any information being provided only in their FAQ.

Has an app

Is Luckstatic Legit?
If you’re into playing scratch cards (I admit it, I am) and you are a US Citizen in the US (and I am not), then this could be some good fun and winnings though it’s not going to be that mega jackpot. Then again, it is free. Lucktastic gets 5.5 out of 10.

I’ve been playing for years, would use my tokens to buy my grandson Amazon gift cards. I was playing everyday to get enough tokens so I could be able to help buy Christmas presents for my 11 grandkids. I have to download 26 partner apps to be able to redeem a $50 Walmart gift card!! I would tell people about Lucktastic but I won’t anymore. People asked if it was a scam, now I can honestly say YES!! I’m very disappointed in Lucktastic now!!

Pro-Possible to win a few dollars
Cons-Excessive ads, many long and some broken, zero support, will barely get anything after first few days,
I thought this had potential at first as I won a dollar on the first day and got a large amount of points in the first week. Between that and bonuses for downloading apps(uninstalled after) I was able to get a five dollar Amazon gift card which is why I rated a two besides a one.
Seems like the first few days give you a little more to lure you in. After that, every ticket was under ten points. To make things worse every single ticket has an ad. This would be tolerable if they were a few seconds, but most of the ads are one minute long and require constant attention since you have to click once or twice in the middle of an ad to have it continue.
The breaking point for me was getting a broken ad that froze almost every single time for one week straight. I contacted them three times and never got any type of response or fix to the problem. Between that and seeing other reviews stating that the prizes are often out of stock, I uninstalled the app.
Not a scam since no money is lost, but a waste of time. I would recommend Lucky day and Lucky Winner instead. Both are similar lotto apps, with less ads and more potential for payout.

Total Scam-won’t let you redeem your tokens for gift cards-been trying to redeem them for a couple of months now. All their gift cards keep saying out of stock. Keep away from this scam app!!

I won a Nintendo switch a few months back and didn’t realize it until a few days ago. I was never notified by email or any contact whatsoever. I was told it is to late to claim my prize. Kinda a pain having to check the winners section daily just to make sure I don’t come across another loss.

No redeemable rewards anymore. Always out of stock on everything but magazine subscriptions. Who needs that! Turned into a scam app now-a-days. They will not reply to emails sent either. I am sure they on their last year in running this app. Just bullshit!!!
