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.

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.

This by far is the worst app I’ve ever used my husband and I have spent hours and hours and hours scratching tickets only to find out it if you don’t install the apps that they requested they won’t pay out their payouts are low and not worth it we had to scratch for literally three months couple hours a day just to get a $10 card which we’re now finding out like I said if you don’t install their quote-unquote partner apps they won’t pay out it’s like having somebody hold a gun to your head this app is horrible I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy

My wife has used lucktastic for years, she gets me a gamestop gift card almost every 2 or 3 months, it is time consuming but the catch is, there is a new requirement that most people don’t understand or even know. You have to go into the app section of where the install apps are and you have to install them and play them for at least around 5-10 minutes per downloaded game, now you don’t have to keep the games, you uninstall after your done, but I can assure you, I literally have saved hundreds of dollars on video games using the gamestop giftcards, I just bought games recently, but this new rule is because it was too easy for everyone to cash in their tokens, so their making sure you are dedicated I guess, the one downside I’ve seen is that they never let you win money to cash out, I’ve never met or heard of anyone actually won money with lucktastic over the 10 dollar cash out option. You have to have the tokens, install apps, then wait the 2-3 days for them to email you the gift card. It is legit with cards but doesn’t seem so with actual money, honestly, they probably pay people to do the ads of people who they say won a contest.

I have played lucktastic for 2 years never won more than 2$ which you can’t cash in it used to be great you could cash in tokens and get your gift card now like everyone else has said all you get is out of stock download more games from sponsors to unlock so I downloaded 3 more games it’s still locked guess I I’ll have to redeem tokens for lesser gift cards it’s sad you make them millions of $$ by watching their ads and they can’t even give you gift card that you worked so long and hard for am deleting app as soon as I cash in my tokens. Lucktastic Is definitely a scam even pch has. Better odds than them I suggest you don’t waste your time downloading your just making them richer while they sit back and laugh at how many foolish people fall for their lies!!!

Like others have stated. I have played for an ENTIRE year in hopes that I can cash in for a nice gift card. WRONG!!! No matter the value or the brand of gift card it ALWAYS says out of stock. I have come back day after day. Still, OUT OF STOCK. Do not waste your time!!!

Took 2 months to win 30000 tokens. Got to it today and it lists a $5 Amazon gift card as a prize, one of the only things I have interest in, and it says they “are out of those”. How can you be “out of” $5 Amazon gift cards, they are digital? Waste of time.
