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 think the winners are the owners of the app that change their user name once they recive their checks or in this case lotto scratch tickets from the apps that need advertisement’s and they of course give money back to the apps that use there program to keep them from leaving thier services so they can have a steady check while we get gift card which take forever playing there commercials over and over and over do you know how hard it is to get a gift card((

This site is nothing but garbage! Anytime I email them, all I ever get is the same three automated responses. I’m thinking this whole site is just a waste of time! Not even worth the one star rating I’m giving!

Not a bad game. Been playing for about 2 weeks now and have 12,000 coins built up. Nice little time killer. Nothing says the money is a guarantee. At least with these you waste a little time and not money. I think it’s a good app and hey, if ya win, that’s even better, but until then shoot just save for gift cards.

I personally love it, haven’t won any money yet. However, my best friend won $100 on the first day of downloading the app so it definitely is about luck. As far as the winnings he did indeed receive a check in the mail and it didn’t take long at all. I have no idea why anyone else has had a problem with it. The app is in a sense free, but it’s because of the ads which is minor considering the prizes are real. People always complain about things unnecessarily. If they didn’t have ads they would have to charge us directly for the app which would be another complaint. I say enjoy it or just delete it and go on with life, it’s not the worst app you’ve ever seen. Everything can’t be ad free people, they have expenses to be able to run the app for you!

I have about 5 thousand coins and only 1 dollar, but the game is fun and I hope I can win more money.
