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.

Don’t get the app! New up date is trash! I collected over 67,000 points so I could get a really good gift card and I should have just settled for what was available based on my token amount cause with the new update you can’t get gift cards anymore. You get to spend your tokens on apps you can probably install for free and even not I don’t need that to install a app on my computer. You also can use them to enter contest that you have a slim chance of winning. I knew I probably would never win a contest but at least I new if I played most every day eventually I would get a good gift card. When I read some of the other reviews I came to the conclusion that I Probably wouldn’t have been able to cash in on one anyway.

If anyone contacts you and tells you are a big winner. It is a SCAM! Their names are amber Lynn Smith from Texas a&m university And Archie Turner promo coordinator they have ID. Showing they work for Lucktastic please don’t give them any personal information like I did, yes, I’m stupid to believe in them. Beware they are scam artists!

I really enjoy playing the app, and i have won on the app as well, so i know it is legit, however something big like winning a big amount of cash itself is a tad mis believing, so i am cautious and not believing it taking proper precautions. That sounds a little familiar as i have been in contact with the same female mentioned on your post, however i am also in contact with lucktastic themselves, and as well as proper authorities, i haven’t fallen for it, but i am acting like i have no idea as to what they are up to.

I’ve had no problems with lucktastic. I’ve cashed in $200 worth of Amazon cards, $50 each time. I’ve cashed in on Olive Garden and IHOP gift cards, no problems. I get the card information right away through email and a link on my phone. You just play every day and you will get tokens fast. If ads turn you off, then you don’t have to watch just do something else while you wait. They are legit. Like I’ve said no problems at all.

I got a $50.00 Amazon Gift Card. You have to have $10.00, in order to cash out at Dwolla. Dwolla is a legitimate money exchange site like Moneygram and Western Union. You need patience.

I played and played and finally had enough points for a restaurant.com card to find out I can’t use it anywhere.
Exactly. In fact, every time I go through the painful process of cashing in for one, at the end, all I ever get is an error code! Still can’t redeem my points after 2 months of trying.
