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.
Why You Should Register with Luckstatic

Has an app

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.

Lucktastic is a scam. About 1 year ago I downloaded both Lucky Day & Luckastic. I have won $60 worth of Starbucks gift cards and $29.75 cash put into my PaPal account from Lucky Day and NOTHING from Lucktastic in the same period of time. Also the Lucky Day app works way better & consumes way less of your time. Lucktastic app is slow and irritating whereas the LD app is much faster and way less time consuming. Lucky Day’s customer service actually responds promptly and they pay out promptly too. Lucktastic has only ever responded to one single email and it took them almost 3 months. forget Lucktastic (i am dropping it!) & go with Lucky Day…

It is an absolute scam. Even after I saved up enough points to get a prize, not cash but one of the items you can buy for points, I was unable to do so. First, it tells you to download other apps, and after you have done that, nothing. It still doesn’t work. You can contact them with a message, but they literally do not respond to those messages. This app is worth less than nothing. All it does is take your time and give you frustration in return.

Deleted the app after several months and only $0.75 won. Too many adds to boot in order to scratch cards, just a pointless app where other apps with a similar purpose are faster and offer so much more, adios Craptastick!

I won one of their daily trivia questions & finally after about three weeks (they said within 8 days) & many emails asking where my check is, which they never replied to, I received a $20.00 check from them. I deposited it in my bank account and then their check BOUNCED! My bank charged me a fee because of this and Lucktastic has never responded to my emails (that’s the only way to contact them) regarding this. My bank also told me that they believe the check is fraudulent. PLEASE DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH Lucktastic. It’s nothing but a Huge scam with ZERO customer service. I have screenshots of everything for proof if you want them…
How do you even know if you’re a winner of the daily trivia? I get a notification, every day, at 6pm, to watch the video and see if I am a winner, but the words flash by so quickly that they’re unreadable. All I’m able to do is bring up the question for the next trivia game.
How much did you pay the bank when you tried to cash in that check?
