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.

No chance of winning and you’re unable to redeem your tokens. Huge waste of time.

As I was saving up for one of the gift cards, now magically every gift card is out of stock, you know – since they said these are ALL very popular. Really, every gift card is out, including the ones for 88,000 points, this is a joke of an app and a major SCAM, would avoid unless you like throwing you tokens back into some stupid drawing you will never win or you want a magazine subscription, magically those are never out of stock. I won .75 when I first started and nothing of any value since then like everyone else that wins day one, you should just scratch that day and never play again.

I have been playing lucktastic now for about a month everyday playing the scratch cards and watching these videos and I will only gotten $0.50 well today I received a friend request from Katy the lucktastic spokesman she proceeded to tell me that I won $25,000 cash and $1000000 and she needed my full name address and phone number well after I did that she said I had to pick a delivery option which in total was Scott cost money out of pocket that is fully refundable so I was very hesitant and of course I didn’t do it but as I was responding she blocked me and it deleted everything she said in messenger so I’m not sure what to do or what’s going on I contacted lucktastic support and I screenshotted the messages and I’m waiting for a reply!
Yeah she messaged me through instagram and said I have to pay $245 and I won $250,000 but I haven’t paid it because it seems sceptical for me to send them money so they can give me money it seems like a scam because it’s not through the app but a Instagram page

Ok, I was wrong. They finally came through with the card that I wanted after 2 weeks. It took me almost a year to get enough tokens to get it. So I guess that they do pay up.
Donald
I have been playing daily for about a year now and when I tried to cash in my tokens they are out of everything. All I keep getting is a error code 306RB2 and it says out of stock come back tomorrow. After 2 week’s of tomorrow’s they are still out of all their cards. Sorry it’s a scam.
