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

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.

Seems to be just for fun. People aren’t able to redeem tokens. So if you play to have fun not win money or gift cards.

I’ve tried for several months to redeem my tokens too. I have accumulated over 200k tokens but since early last year, I have not been able to redeem it. Always saying it’s out of stock. Even tried to update the app. Nothing works. Went to the App Store today and Lucktastic is no longer available. But is still posting to their Instagram site. Total scam.

I haven’t been able to redeem my tokens because it isn’t giving me the option to click on anymore I have redeemed 2 magazine subscriptions so far but that’s it I really liked this until I can’t redeem my tokens anymore
Jackie
Same for me. I have redeemed my tokens for gift cards in the past, but recently I have been unable to. I sent feedback to Lucktastic days ago and I have not received any response.

Never win gift cards are never in stock. They are the ones making money on you with the ads

I also have been trying to use my tokens to get gift cards and they are always out of stock. Also, they do not answer emails or feedback. They say you will hear back in 24 hours and all you receive is a blank email with NO response! This is a SCAM!!! Do NOT join. The only so called prize I can redeem is subscription to several magazines.
