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 app is nothing but a scam with way too many annoying ads! They boast about “why pay for scratch off tickets when you can play for free”, yeah that’s why, I’ve been playing for over 6 months and only have collected a measly $1.25, oh but they fool you with giving tokens and that how they hold on to you. I’m going to delete this stupid useless scam app and go back to buying scratch off tickets. At least with those I win instantly money even if I come out even. Better waiting over six months for a $ 1.25! Word of advice don’t do it!!

Been playing for months now and have yet to win anything. I play a.m. and p.m. and nothing. I’m trying to hold on bc of all the time spent in the scratch cards. Wow, I hope this is not wasted time.

Ive been playing for two years. Leaves a lot to be desired. Takes entirely to long to load games. Ads are very long. Ive got the same two dollars in the “bank” since i started playing. very cheap on tokens. Tighten up Lucktastics.
Omg, i just looked at the instant prizes. What happened lucktastics?? Youve taken away all the 70,000 token choices for restaurants. Everything is 199,999! My last day playing this. Not worth a hour of my day to play this slow game for crappy rewards. I had to put one star because it wouldn’t let me put a negative 0!!

Crap, crap, crap!!! I have logged in EVERYDAY for over a year and have had the app for going on 4 years, $2 in my account!!! Lol. I have had the Lucky Day app for 2 months and have $8.50!!! I have accumulated over 500,000 lifetime tokens and they sent me a e-mail the other day on how many scratch offs I have scratched, over 4,600!!! I was surprised, it was the first time I have received any communication from Lucktastic. But really, nearly 5,000 scratch offs and 2 freakin dollars!!!! BS, BS!!!!!!! I have literally watched 100s of hours of ADS!!!!! That is so much data in itself, they should at least pay a cell phone bill or 2! Lmao! They also hold big $ contests every couple of months and I have used my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts to post about Lucktastic for more entries into these contests. They make it to where they give you more entries for every post, I have had 7,500 or more entries in every one since 2014-2015. Going back to their first million dollar giveaway! Haven’t heard a word and after hearing the reviews above, now I’m a little skeptical! Lol. Horrible videos too, every supposedly winner I have watched from these fake contests are in horrible video quality! The “winners” of the first million dollar video, all fell at the same time, just like some dominoes! Looked rehearsed for real, should have known then! Stay away, unless you like waiting months to be able to save the tokens for their crappy gift cards!!!!

I just started playing and won 1000.00 on a scratcher ticket..but of course they didn’t credit my account for the money.
Probably just a scam way to get your personal information!
