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.
More at Lucktastic
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.
Why You Should Register with Luckstatic

It’s free
Has an app
Why You Shouldn’t Register with Luckstatic
Cons:
You won’t win a mega jackpot
Must be a US citizen
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.

Terrible. I used the app for over 2 years and it used to be pretty good but it has since become a scam. Your tokens will never be able to redeem for anything because they’re always out of stock, downloading partner apps does nothing even though it’s supposed to unlock the redemption items, and support will never reply to you. Stay away. Far, far away.

Scam and don’t waste your time earning coins its because there are no giftcards available to redeem. If you will visit in facebook, people are complaining already its because they cant redeem any giftcards. I sent messages and email as well no reply. We work hard to earn those coins and suddenly we cant redeem. No updates as well from facebook app. So dear players never ever download this app. It used to be a fun app not anymore

Don’t bother…. I’ve been playing for years and all I ever got was $2.50. Which I couldn’t spend if I wanted to… Lucktastic is a total rip off! Skam! I built up enough Tolkien’s to get a $100.00 Amazon card and they say they’re out of stock and they never restock the cards…. Meanwhile, they’ve made a small fortune off me watching those adds… They get paid every time someone watches those adds….. I’m very disappointed ?

Ok, I’ll start by saying that I’ve actually gotten a five dollar egift card sent to my email for Amazon. I gathered tokens, or credits, and cashed them in. It didn’t take long. Not as long as lucky day for sure. Anyways, it took about four days and I received it. I learned that if u want to do the whole download partner app thing like complete in tasks inside other apps, u have to have ur VPN turned off. A VPN routs ur Ip address to a location somewhere other than where u are. Often times u will have a VPN with a security system on ur phone. Use the security systems settings menu to change VPN setting. Most of those tasks u do that require downloading apps will not give the ok for credit if it’s done through VPN network. Also, if u want to make the lagging inside the lucktastic game, or in any other game, to move it’s a*$, go to ur settings on an Android and go down to the last option that is called about phone. Then go down to the build number option. Tap build number option seven times and go back to the settings main menu and u will notice an unlocked option called developer menu. Tap that and scroll down until u see FORCE 4x MSAA. Click this to on and it speeds up gaming a whole lot. The bad thing is that it will drain battery very fast. Might be helpful to have a good cleaner or security on the device along with a battery saver or battery fast charge app on ur device. To be able to do anything on the developer options u must first turn it on at the top of the unlocked developer options menu. Keep in mind I’m not saying that these hints will win u money of any kind. I still haven’t cashed out any real money and it’s been several months since I downloaded lucktastic. Good luck my fellow lucktasticians.
Sincerely. J.L

For almost two years they have been saying the scratch offs that you have played can be turned in for gift cards. They still don’t have prizes. Also for any money winning you have at least $10 to turn in for cash. I won $9.25 over a year ago and never made it to ten. This is a scam. Don’t waste your time! I gave one star because that was the minimum.
