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 love scratching tickets & I spend lots of money in real life doing it, I’m just glad this app is free and it keeps my faith built up that I’ll win something big for my daughter and I… but either way if I don’t for some reason I always have a gut feeling I’ll get something great when I least expect it!!! Great app… thank you who ever made it.

Okay, so I’ve been reading everyone’s comments and what I have noticed is that people win a dollar like I did on my first day and some of them playing for a year and have won $1, but honestly the pattern I see is that the day you sign up is when you win a cash deal and if you’re going to hit it’s the day you sign up. I think its just luck, when you sign up, you randomly get selected and you could win 10,000 or 500 or what ever or might be so there are real big money winners, but I only think the first day you play is when you’ll ever win anything big or win any money at all this is not a fact, but what I see as a pattern with people comments read them and you will see one person won $15 and someone’s friends mom won 10,000, but it’s was on the first day, so if your lucky then your lucky hints “lucktastic”, but the coin I guess are worth it if you have nothing to do but that’s a lot of videos but if someone wins money more than a dollar after the first day post on here so we know that maybe you can win thanks and good luck.

OK…. It is a free app. Meaning it’s under the occasionally gaming. You think it’s going to pan out millions instantly? Lol nah, you all should know free apps like this seldom pay out. Reason why for the tokens. A lot crying because they don’t win right away or don’t win after a amount of tickets. Wake up, it’s mostly a game! Even if you don’t win the big bucks, you still get tokens for incentives.

Hi, I have been playing for months, but I just got $1.50 so far. I think this is not a very good app. It’s fun to play the scratch cards, but in the end is frustrating because you have to watch so many promotions. Was anyone from the US territories won anything yet? I’m from Puerto Rico, a US citizen and I would like to know…

I’ve played for about 10 days, what I’ve seen is that you’ll win money once or twice in that time period of 50 cents to a dollar. I’ve already racked up 28000 tokens which is enough for a gift a card and it is fun. It might not net you those big cards l, but the thrill of the slight chance is always cool.
