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

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 just got my $50 Amazon gift card today with playing all the games and downloaded games real fast and uninstalling them I average 3 $50 amazon gift cards a year does help.
So I just got a message from lucktastic on instead and they said I won $278,000 and 2 gift cards. They said someone will be at my house at 1:45. I’ve never won anything in my life before. I guess I’ll find out if this is really real. They said I have to give them $175 to get the money I won. I feel like this is sketchy.
Do NOT reply to them, it’s a scam.

I have been playing on Lucktastic for 2 years. I have 71000 tokens and $1.75. I have been trying to redeem my tokens, but all the $25 gift cards are out and they say check back tomorrow. Days have gone by and they are still not stocked.
I played and played and I got three different messages off of Instagram and got a phone call from a manager and I’m like yeah right there’s no way this can be true it’s a scam but they were like ru gonna be home all day and that I have to pay money to get the ppl back home after they give me my prize I’m like just forget it in deleting this app now it’s a joke don’t waste your time on a game that isn’t true and all it is scams!

Worthless. Been playing every day. Multiple times a day. They give u a “win” at first for a dollar. After that, you can barely win the scratchers for tokens…which take an enormous amount to cash in for 5 dollar gift cards…if they are in stock. They make you watch 30 sec commercials or longer… just to play each worthless scratcher. They make money hand over fist and don’t pay out. And I love the BS banner at the top telling about people winning. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!
