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.

Hi, I have been playing Lucktastic for a 4 months and I only have won $1, and one gift card for dominos, and one day I was scratching the cards and I got 3 v.i.p. I show on top get 3 v.i.p and win the prize that shows. Well, it’s not true, I didn’t get no money. I keep on contacting them, they say, sorry, I didn’t win nothing like wtf it’s say get 3 of the same and you win, so I am like mad cus I really thing this game thing is a joke and I have the proof too, and then again I got the 3 alike and nothing again so am confused cus if it say get 3 alike u win then why didn’t I?

I have been playing for months now and have won, $.50 I have accumulated thousands of tokens. I wonder if it’s worth my time. I don’t in my heart think that anyone is winning any real money. I think they are liars when they post winners.

I played for over a year. I have $1 in my account & I had almost 70,000 points. I redeemed 50,000 of my points for a $15 Panera gift card. They sent it right away to my email, but when I went to Panera to use it that same day it wouldn’t work & if I click where it says check the balance it says $0.
I know the game is real my friend mom won $10,000 as soon as she download it in 15 minutes, but I also think its rigged because I have been playing a yr and a half and every single day I win 25 & 50 tokens. So saying its like state lottery, I can’t go in the store every day and purchase a $5 ticket and win $200.00 everyday….

Like most people who have commented, they let you win a buck or two in the beginning, just to get you to think you can win. Chances are slim that you will ever reach the $10 threshold requirement for cashout. You win tokens on every scratch card, but it takes forever to save up for a gift card (months). If your time is valuable to you, avoid this app.
As for the winners they list, I have no idea if they are legitimate.
