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.

Won that first dollar, haven’t seen any more since. Once my tokens reach 25,000, I’m cashing in and uninstalling. Why make the developers craploads of money while they scam people out of their time???

I admit it is kinda fun, scratches the “gambling” itch I get to play scratch tickets without the harm on my wallet. The upside to it, I feel is that even if you don’t win money, you can slowly earn up tokens to buy something nice from the token catalog. Been playing a few months and only have $2 but about 53,000 tokens.

I personally have been playing Lucktastic for several months on my Samsung phone. It isn’t a gimmick, and it is not a fraudulent app to use. Basically you are giving them your time, watching each paid advertiser’s ad, before you scratch a play card. I have won more than once so far. No, I haven’t won a huge jackpot yet. However, I was able to go shopping on Amazon because of Lucktastic…I’m not kidding about this; I have made $401 in winnings/countless tokens to either put towards large drawing jackpots or gift cards or cash, to date for giving a few minutes of my time to watch sponsored ads… Never have I had to pay a thing out of pocket like you would with lottery tickets. It’s something me & my kids do with me & just is a fun quick thing that could give you anywhere from $1.00, up to $10,000 instantly… Maybe more. Why knock it if you don’t give it a chance? I play & I don’t have a problem with it running slow. I seen some people saying it drags and runs slow on their phones, which would likely be due to low memory & not regularly maintaining their cache data. You can’t have too many apps running beyond what your phone can handle. Clear your cache, look at your memory and read your phone’s book, so you better understand what your phone needs to run smoothly. It’s seldom an app that’s the problem… Users that don’t understand how their technology works always discredits the software they install. Lucktastic I recommend to friends for a simple fun thing they can use and win from.

It sucks. You win 1$ the first time you play and that’s it.. I am a real person.. A real player hoping to win.. And they are full of it! Do NOT download or play. I tried even reaching out to them. Do NOT get pulled in. Waste of your time!
I agree with you also after you play a while they tell you your a top player and give you an extra free 50 token scratch card i think its just a gimick to get people to watch there adds, but yes, i won 1$ in October 1st week i played have not won anything since i’m not crying i need to win 10 grand but to win 20$ once and awhile would be nice anyone writing good reviews on here obviously works for lucktastic so they are paid to say they won

Not a waste of time. I just received a $15 gift card to Papa John’s. My son and I had a good time watching movies and eating free pizza.

Yes, I must say I’m at around 39,500 tokens won….never received any for downloading app suggestions. Missed out on a few daily bonuses I should of got. … But finally figure out to play everyday and receiving those bonuses is the way to jack up ur coins. Now I just WAIT FOR SITE TO CRASH AT TIME I WANNA CASH IN. Took me 7-9 months to get them coins. But any who sometimes. I think WAT IF? I did hit a win on a $5000 or 10,000 ticket that would be awesome being low income, there is soooo much I could use that money for. I’m STILL PLAYING.
