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 rated 5 stars because it is free to play. I’ve only won $1.75, and I’ve been playing since March I think, so about three months. Every card you scratch gets you a bonus whether or not you win, usually tokens. In addition to the small amount of cash, I’ve saved enough tokens for $10 Dunkin Donuts gift card. It may take a long time, but it only takes about ten minutes a day if you’re dedicated. Hey, it’s free money, what’s not to love!

I had this app for 6mos and all I won was a dollar. It’s fixed so that you won’t make money but the advertisers will. I would consider Lucktastick clickbait and a scam.
Amelia Stoll-Gosnell
I’ve earned enough tokens for 1 $25 IHOP gift card, and 2 $15 gift cards. I have also won $3 sitting in a Dwolla account. This is what I’ve received in two years scratching but not consistently every day.

I’ll go 3 stars for now, but will withhold further judgement until I’ve played more. I’ve won 1 buck, and a couple thousand tokens, and since it’s either this or scroll through facebook, I’ll just keep doing this until such point as I see it is fruitless.

I can’t even win free tokens. My friend won 4.00, but no idea how. I’m ready to stop playing.

I enjoyed playing up until it asked me to update the Lucktastic app. I updated the app only to get logged out of it; which I tried logging back in only to be told my password wasn’t correct. After several attempts to login I requested a new password. I followed the instructions & entered their 5 digit code they sent to my email and it gives me a weird message. I sent several emails asking them to resolve the problem & I get a email back saying to clear the cache only to have the same thing happen again. There’s no contact number for me to contact their customer service or anything. I had 100,000+ tokens that I worked hard for that I was going redeem & use for Christmas…guess I can’t now. I would of given this a higher star review, but seeing how Lucktastic hasn’t gotten back with me or offered to resolve this issue. Those playing take caution & make sure to save your information (password, screen shots of tokens, & any messages from Lucktastic).
