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:

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.

The game is a scam you win tokens but when you go to cash you can’t they are out of stock for 3 months now but yet they give cards away the daily winners but they won’t honor their tokens. And you can’t redeem your cash either you have to have $10 or more. So they tell you the join the VIP and go to their sister sites and you can use your tokens there redeem them for the card you want. Or you can just go to their sister site you don’t have to join the VIP but their sister sites won’t let you redeem your tickets until you get to such and such a level on their game. And guess what all their cards are out of stock. Lucktastic is one of the biggest scams on the internet as far as games go I would not recommend anybody to play that stupid ass game

Nothing but a scam I have way more than enough tokens to get an Amazon $50 card and I keep getting notified do Play lucktastic you can win gift cards and all kinds of cards but when you go to get a card they’re out of stock on everything except the very first role of the three cards that you don’t really want and it has been that way for 2 months now that I have been trying to cash in my tokens. I wrote them and they told me to go to their sister site and sign up they will honor the card no they won’t same thing there they are out of everything I would not advise anybody to even bother with lucktastic it is nothing but a scam

I’m starting to think that this lucktastic game is a huge scam and it’s “winners” are made up. I was the only bidder on 4 different items in the “Enter Contest” section and almost 24 hours later I still haven’t received any notification that I won my bids. If been playing this damn game for months now winning NOTHING but tokens and never receiving notices or items Of been the ONLY bidder on. Stop wasting your time and join me and others in deleting this crappy app. It’s just like the PCH.com app. It’s all a scam to Easter your time and get your hopes up.
