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.

It’s sucksi, haven’t won no dollar, no .25, no nothing, zilch nothing the big goose egg, but seriously, it’s just a waste unless u r willing to rack up ur tokens to cash out for instant rewards.
tara
Its b.s. everyone wins a dollar the first day and then .25 a few days later. No real winners. No real chances. Notice u can’t see anything about the winners anywhere. Over it. Time into your family and things that matter. This app wastes your life.

Same here, won a whopping $1.25 total in months on end, it’s a rip off…lucktastic gets paid a certain amount per view of an ad by the advertisers…so every time an ad is displayed, or video played/viewed, lucktastic gets paid for it, now figure all the loser tickets you have been scratching day in day out..1 sometimes 2 ads per ticket, and very very very few people ever win over $1.25…so they basically make a lot of money off of you until you burn out and stop using the app…they don’t care, your making them rich, and for every person that quits, 5 more are drawn in by the lure of winning some money…it’s a genious scam…if your the scammer, but after scratching a thousand losing tickets on here, one will sooner or later come to the conclusion that you actually win more…and this is even after paying for tickets….by buying real scratchoffs…if your content with slaving and exposing yourself to the same damn ad 500 times a month for 6 months to walk away with some $5 gift card, or enough to buy yourself a hamburger for making lucktastics owners rich, then go for it…but if I’m making some person rich, i want a paycheck….see how the scam works yet? Basically slave labor to make some other turkey rich….
Wow! You really made me even more doubtful than ever.. I had a feeling it was a scam, but your points really make sense. They list lots and lots of winners on the app itself, but they are fake winners. Something just doesn’t feel real about Lucktastic and hopefully more and more people start uninstalling the app so they can’t use us to get rich.

I received a $1.00 one day and $.25 the next as well. I get tokens every day. However, I do not have enough tokens to trade in for a prize. There are other sites that I have received prizes from such as Opinion Square and You Gov. They are legit, but do take a long time to build up points. I have received gift cards and other prizes for answering surveys. Try it instead, especially if you have been duped by lucktastic like me.
