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.

Has an app
Why You Shouldn’t 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.

The bottom line here is watching numerous upon numerous upon numerous, get the point already? Of commercials and they pay garbage. Oh they claim winners. I don’t buy it. For one their is no toll free number to call and inquire. I noticed quite a bit that you watch the commercial but the game card doesn’t come up and then says error. So u watched another commercial it appears promising is why I give it one rating which is actually too good of a number. Sad but true. Three different times I uninstalled and reinstalled and received the most $1.75. never bothered cashing any of it in. Truly a waste of time. Instead of it being called Lucktastic it should be named wasteofmytimetastic.

Downloaded…played for months…won $1.25…over 40,000 tokens…went to cash them out for my first gift card and had SO many issues that I had to reset my account and lost everything. No gift card, no more tokens or measly $11.25. Uninstalled the app…a disappointing waste of time and energy.

Reading through these comments and I thought I’d make one of my own. This app will pay you, if you can somehow make enough tokens before they expire. Other than that. Your not getting anything. Except the 1.25 everyone, including me seems to get when they started playing, only to be redeemed at some sketchy dwolla site. I’m just gonna get the 25$ restaurants gift card then uninstall. It takes up over a g of space on my phone so not worth the space or the time.

Have been playing for 2 weeks have won a $1.75, and over 10,000 tokens. You can cash out with Dwolla which is just like PayPal, but there are some fees to cash out on. They just added more gift cards as prizes. So it’s iffy.

I hit the 5,000 three times….never got anything. Not even the app shows I won anything. Load of bullshit!
Just because you played the $5,000 scratch off doesn’t mean you won. There is no way you won the $5,000 3 times. The chances of that are astronomical.
