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.

I used the app years ago. Took me 8 months to get enough coins for a $50 gift card, and then took another month to get the card back in stock so I could purchase it. That part wasn’t too bad.
Then they upped the price of the gift cards. If it took me 8 months of daily playing for the $50 card, then it would have taken a year or more after that. Forget it.

This app sucks u will never win and if u do it some small 50cent shit and anything below ten dollars can’t be cashed out so it is a waste of one’s time the sacrifice of one’s data to watch stupid videos is enough to at least deserve to win something but time and time again the tickets are dudds. But anyway the app sucks like really sucks!

This is my 3rd giftcard I have earned through points. I haven’t won any money. This 3rd time, I had trouble collecting my giftcard and had to contact customer support, the responses are fast. But when went to use giftcard at zolive Garden, cashier had trouble and it wouldn’t go through. Manager stepped in to make a call. Apparently, Lucktastic sent me a used card that I had used in the past with zero balance. I ended up paying cash out of my pocket for my meal.. I am very upset and won’t be playing again!!

I’ve been playing this game for 2yrs now, & I’ve only gotten $1.25, & tokens, I was up to nearly 50,000 wen the system went down & lost all my tokens! It may be free but you never really win any real money & it take way too long to earn as much tokens just yo get a decent gift card!

I have played every day for 2 months and so far all I have is 5000 tokens. All I have won is the 25 token subway scratch off and the 50 token dogscratch off ):
