Scratch Cards

Scratch cards are a type of lottery game that has been very popular for many years. Traditional scratch cards were made from cardboard and featured silver coloured panels on the gaming side. Scratching the silver panels revealed symbols printed underneath, and if the player revealed the correct symbols (according to the rules of the scratchcard in question) then they were entitled to win a cash prize.

Although traditional scratch cards are still available from convenience stores, social clubs and other retail outlets, the advent of internet technology has breathed new life into scratchcard games. No longer are you limited to drab and lifeless cardboard games. Instead, you can play online scratchcard games that feature sound, music, animation and a whole lot more interactive fun than ever before.

Namaste

Namaste is a very common greeting in India which means ‘I bow to you’, and it is usually accompanied by the person giving the greeting holding the palms of their hands together. That same gesture is used as the logo in this Namaste online scratchcard game at Scratch2Cash, which also happens to be set in India – right in front of what appears to be the Taj Mahal, to be exact. As you will discover shortly, the Indian theme runs throughout the game, giving you and other fans of online scratchcards the chance to enjoy some evocative sights and sounds as you play for a potential jackpot of £200,000.

The Lost Maya is an brilliant simply yet incredibly atmospheric online scratchcard game which takes place in a Mayan temple. The ancient civilization of Maya left the world with some incredible architecture as well as the famous Mayan calendar system which expires in 2012.

Because online scratch cards are wholly digital products, you don’t need to visit any traditional retailer to start playing. All you have to do is fire up your home computer, connect to the internet and purchase scratch cards online. The cost of online scratchcard games obviously varies, but prices start at much lower levels than you will find offline (some games can be played for free!), so you can easily enjoy a lot more gaming action online without spending a penny more than you would on traditional games.

Although most people tend to play scratch cards just for the fun of it, there are also cash prizes to be won. The size of the top prize on offer in any particular scratchcard game varies, but you can reasonably expect to win anything from a few hundred to a few thousand of your chosen currency if you happen to strike it lucky.

Online scratch cards are offered by a number of different web sites, and many of these will quite happily match any deposit you make with an equal amount of free cash, and this means that you can have twice as much scratchcard fun without increasing your outlay. For example, if you deposit £50 you might get an extra £50 added to your account, giving you £100 to play with. Some sites actually give you a modest amount of cash just for signing up so that you can try the games – and keep any of the cash you win – ‘on the house’!

Of course, not all web sites offering online scratch card games are equally reliable, and that’s why we here at scratchcards.net have a dedicated team of expert reviewers who scour the internet for the very best sites and the very best games. Want to know which scratch card sites offer the best bonuses? Or which scratchcards offer the most entertainment value for your buck? The answers to both of these questions and many more like them can be found right here!

So welcome to scratchcards.net. Bookmark this page then come inside, make yourself at home and prepare to enjoy more scratchcard gaming action than you’ll ever need!
