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.

More at Lucktastic
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.
Please note! The Lucktastic scam notifications have nothing to do with the official app!

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
Pros:
It’s free
Has an app
Why You Shouldn’t Register with Luckstatic

You won’t win a mega jackpot
Must be a US citizen
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 have been playing for months. I thought this site was legit BUT just as I got near the amount to cash in it quit adding to my $. UGH….super frustrating!!! Sad to advertise one thing and realistically be quite another!!!!
Lost my way
Forget this application! Please don’t waste your time. I’ve been playing for more than 2 years. In that time I’ve won 50 cents twice. All other times it’s been tokens. I have collected all most enough tokens to collect the $50.00 gift cards. (Two of them ). When I clicked on the redemption page the $50.00 token option was replaced with $100.00 gift card. So like a dumb ass I kept playing. I took a small break from playing, and when I came back all of my tokens were gone!! I sent 4 emails and got no response from them. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game, signed in to my account and still no tokens. I quit and I hope that I can help save you time and frustration and don’t even bother with this scam of a “game”.

I used to love them and still play but am soooooo angry because they are so unprofessional. I suffer with depression and couldn’t play sometimes after playing well over 5 years. They took my points without tell me that I earned like 180,000 tokens in over a year almost 2 years and was saving for amazon $50 giftcard and they don’t care about me. I’m just another number among the 10+ million players. they’ve ignored my messages and emails on facebook and email and they never respond to not one single message. They don’t care about me or any of the other players either. I watch so many ads to scratch one lousy card that give you like 15 tokens and have to watch an ad before and after each card and there are like 30 cards if you add them all up at the end of the day, at nighttime. I am burning angry because they are an app that I’d worshiped and loved and played daily for years only for them to betray me like this. They deserve what they get if they lose so many players because they are money hungry and unprofessional people.

Be forewarned My fellow players,…for those of us that have been playing for years, and watching the tokens for rewards increase dramatically, now, after was watching, THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of commercials and downloading apps along the way, they are “holding”, considered blackmailing” You until You download up to 13 or more APPS, using a ton of data, nothing in agreements state that, nor their own redeeming instructions, but if You download that many, then instantaneously You can redeem, I am taking this to court if they do not correct this….I was an avid user for years until this betrayal

The only reason I am giving Lucktastic a one-star review is because it can help to pass the time if you simply derive pleasure from playing digital scratch off lottery cards as a form of entertainment. Otherwise, I just learned Lucktastic is nothing more than a huge scam if you are in it to actually win real cash and prizes. Plus, their Customer Support is non-existent. I started playing “Lucktastic Match” daily on my iPhone over one month ago, and have accumulated several thousand useless coins I cannot redeem for anything, and I have not won a dime via the bonus scratch off cards you can play in your web browser once you have played all of your daily tickets in the app. Although I followed the step-by-step instructions on how to redeem coins for prizes, no option ever presents itself to do so. To make matters worse, the only method of contacting support is via email, and I have sent three separate emails to Lucktastic’s Support Team over one week ago, and I have yet to receive a single reply (aside from receiving one automated response after submitting my first email), and that message indicated I could expect to receive another email reply within 72 hours, which never came. I sent another email more than 72 hours ago, simply advising The option to redeem coins for prizes does not appear as the instructions state, and requesting assistance with this, as I again stated I am ready to redeem my coins for prizes, however, they have yet to respond or offer assistance. In the event they do make good on their claim and respond to me and let me redeem my coins, then I will post an updated review. Until then, Lucktastic is a scam!
