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
Pros:
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.

OK look. Not everyone is going to win the money in the scratch offs or the sweepstakes and that’s fine. You do, however, win real money with the tokens that you collect because I’ve redeemed my tokens for gift cards and I have actually gotten them in my email. You need to make sure you check your spam folder and when you signed up through lucktastic that you confirmed your email address in the settings. Do not accept friend requests from people on facebook claiming to work for lucktastic because they will not message you from individual facebook pages; they have their own official facebook page.

I reached 30,000 tokens and submitted for a $5.00 Burger King gift card. It took my points but never received the email regarding how to redeem for a voucher.
Jose L Vazquez
Not true because I have 175 thousand points and have redeemed my points twice for $25 gift certificated for Olive Garden And Chillies and didn’t have any problems
Linda Durham
I have over 187,102 have been saving for game stop cards only get error code, lucktastic says rules have changed to be fair to everyone, must download apps and suggested being vip, now only can get mags or burger king, how is that change fair to everyone that plays everyday. If they can’t let you redeem your pts then I’m not wasting my time, bottom line all about them making money.

So disappointed. I’m trying to redeem a 25 dollar Walmart giftcard. But the app says error code 305msm. I don’t even know what that means.

Countless hours (over a year everyday) taken to accumulate 130000 tokens to redeem a $50.00 amazon gift card which has been out of stock for eternity. The only available gift cards left to redeem are for useless magazine subscriptions. In the year wasted, I also accumulated a whopping $1.75 which I can’t redeem because I haven’t hit their $10.00 redeem limit. No response from customer service when emailed about the cards being reloaded except for an automated response encouraging you to play more games and visit more links. When other players constantly ask about the rewards being reloaded in the lucktastic facebook live, those questions are constantly being ignored. If someone starts a class action lawsuit, I would love to be involved! Don’t waste your time like so many others have.
