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

It’s free
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.

Don’t listen to anyone saying “it’s good because I won $1.25 and 1,000+ tokens” because you’re still getting scammed.
I, like many people, have also won this magical $1.25. But that’s what they do. You get awarded about a dollar for the very first scratch off you do, but don’t ever expect to win any more money. I’ve been playing for a while and have got nothing to show for it except that measly dollar and change. I don’t even get my promised tokens from downloading and playing apps. I mean c’mon, the app makers can basically control the tickets they put out and not put any wins in them that are worth that. Sure the ticket will say you’ll win 1,000 dollars, but really you’ll only get like 10 tokens. And then in tickets you do win on, the prizes are tokens and not real money. Basically, spare yourself the trouble and don’t download this.

ZERO STARS 🙂
If you’re a “Lucktastic” (There has never been anything “lucky” out of this title, because that so called luck is all controlled by the creators) player and have been playing for a while, like myself, you would have an understanding of how long it really takes to build up tokes. Since the beginning of my playing with it, I have built up to almost 150,000 tokens. The only money I have ever won from it is a dollar. For over a year, a dollar is all you will win that you can’t claim, until you have won over seven dollars. Based on what I have told you and based on my experiences with it…Is it a waste of time? You decide. Is it worth it? You decide. Will you end up promoting the “Lucktastic” Jokers by playing their game? You decide.

My husband won TWICE according to the actual scratch offs. Both times, he never received his prize money, which would’ve been $4,000 total! The first time it happened, he didn’t think to take a screenshot of his winning scratch off, but he did the second time. Lucktastic claims that they reviewed the picture and because the barcode stated it wasn’t a winning ticket, then he didn’t win. Regardless of the fact that the ACTUAL SCRATCH OFF showed he won! It’s all a scam to get you to play and watch ads so THEY can earn millions while never paying you a dime!

Yeah, and the people who do win work for lucktastic also family and friends, then they go on the review part of the site and say how great they are and how much money they won.

The app sucks I have been playing for a month and all I’ve won is 1 dollar DO NOT DOWNLOAD trust me it’s just a waste of time!

Joke. All posts above are accurate so no need to recount. Time is money and the time it takes to earn anything on this app is not worth it at all. For those that believe, notice cash winners are repeated. Then think about this they claim win – are they real. Finally, I have business knowledge of advertising (their money generated to pay out). Its a no brainer to say with their overhead, there is no way they can afford to consistently pay out $ as they advertise. Pure bullshit and won’t be around to see 2018.
