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.

I have been playing this app for a few years now and I always redeem a $15 Gamestop gift card because I am a big gamer. It does take time but they really do send you the gift card via email. It is legit, I have been doing this monthly, there is now a wait time to get them which is 2-3 days but they do give them to you. There is a wait time because there are so many people also redeeming their tokens and they have to verify and take time to look you up, load the gift card and email it to you.

I love Lucktastic and have never ever had a problem. I redeem gift cards all the time. They come straight to my email and I print and take to the store. It works great fir me.

I played lucktastic for 6 months, average 5 days a week scratching all those cards. I earned $1.25. I realized its a waste of time

Lucktastic is a scam
Anyone saying otherwise works for the company
I have played the scratch cards, downloaded and played several apps.
Had a few conversations with them, NOW THAT i have done everything they said i had to do, still no gift card and now no reply from them.
IT IS A SCAM
They are making money of you and giving nothing back
Do not waste your time

I had received 2 gift cards but now NONE are available! One never wins a cash prize but now the gift cards are just gone!

To everyone reading:
I have won small prizes, and have played for years. I am lazy so have slacked off. Now, second, to all the people claiming to get message by instagram, facebook, e-mail, or other social platforms saying you have to pay 250 to get your 1 million dollar prize. First you can not rate lucktastic because of spam. Even before I got the app, I get all kinds of spam messages claiming I have won it all and all I have to do is send the money to claim my prize. This has been going on for a long long time. It’s the same as someone calling claiming to be the IRS saying you owe and that you have to pay RIGHT then or you are going to jail. You can NOT blame the irs for some ill equipped crimnals attempt to make a dollar. If you win a prize, you are a winner you will not have to pay, unless it is big enough then you will get a tax form to claim on your taxes.

Instead of leaving false reviews about the app, why not send them a facebook message and explain the situation because this app is real and does reward you with real giftcards with the accumulated tokens that you collect from scratch cards. I have been using this app for 3 years now. People that say you do not win real money are liars.
