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.
Why You Should Register with Luckstatic

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.

Don’t waste your time. I have been playing for 3 weeks and earned plenty of tokens. I tried to redeem 4 or 5 different items and they are out of stock or you had to install multiple apps on your phone event get inline to wait for when the item comes available.
Absolutely a joke. Deleting app today.

Horrible app I had it for a year and was saving all of my tokens. Then all of a sudden I went to go get my quote instant reward and I discover the option is not there anymore. The contact support on their Facebook page and on their app and the main page is junk. No one even bothered to write back to my emails. Do not download complete waste of time and energy.

I’ve been playing it for only a few weeks. I have $3.50 and just redeemed my cosmopolitan magazine subscription. They never asked for my location but the first time I downloaded the app, I denied it and they haven’t asked again. I did however use a completely different address for my mailing stuff. But so far it’s a fun thing to play when you’re bored or just to pass time. People need to stop getting upset because they don’t win money over a period of time playing. A friend’s mom of mine just won $1000 after 2 years of playing. She didn’t get upset. Why? Because it’s just a free app that allows you the chance of winning. Not guaranteeing anything. So have fun and just enjoy the app.

After updating my app I Noticed the game didn’t work right So I Deleted it. Five minutes later when I tried to re-download the app it said it was no longer available in the United States!! I tried contacting Lucktastic immediately On Facebook, on messenger, through email, Nothing I would get no reply whatsoever. I even egged them on trying then get them to simply respond to me I had over 100,000 tokens saved up I had been saving them all year long that I was losing out on!! Tonight after months and months they finally responded to me saying they looked into my account and those tokens were no longer any good because of inactivity!! Are you freaking kidding me, I told them to look back at the first time I contacted them it would prove that there is a reason there is no activity, I could no longer download their app! Seems awfully funny I would play it every day for a year and then All of a sudden nothing? Sounds Like a pretty good scam to me!! You can trust they haven’t heard the last of me.

It’s not really a scam if they never took your credit card information

I can’t download the app on my iPhone 7plus saying I’m not in the region or something? So I was wondering if they are going to fix this problem!!?!

They do not award any gift cards or return emails. They do not seem trustworthy
