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.

The odds of you winning any prize at all are 1 in 3.55, so if you happen to have a few coins in your virtual purse or wallet, Piggy Bank just might help you to parlay them into something more substantial. And the good news is that the game is every bit as entertaining as it is potentially profitable, so when you play Piggy Bank you’re sure to have a lot of fun trying your luck…

Fast Hands Player Wins Five Figures

Scratch Kiosk
Scratch Kiosk is a very unusual online scratchcard game at Bet365 Casino, and what makes it so different is the fact that it not only replicates the experience of playing a traditional offline scratchcard, but it also replicates the experience of choosing and buying one! The Scratch Kiosk is stocked with nine different scratchcards, each of which costs a different amount of money and offers prize money that reflects the cost involved. All of the scratchcards play in a similar manner, but being able to enjoy the old-fashioned process of visiting a scratch kiosk, picking a game and playing it on the spot is one that all fans of online scratchcards will enjoy.

Ready Set Go
Ready, Set, Go is a sports-themed online scratchcard with an online slots twist at the Hopa scratchcards site. Whereas most scratchcard games that feature sports tend to focus on a single sport (for example, World Champions or Formula Won), Ready, Set, Go is a game that covers a variety of sports. It will therefore appeal to anyone who takes any kind of interest in sporting events, as well as anyone who likes the idea of winning a top prize of up to £200,000. Because this is a Hopa game, each scratchcard has a 1 in 3 chance of being a winner, and if you want to try the game for free before playing for real you can do so.

£100,000 Rainbow
The £100,000 Rainbow scratchcard game at the National Lottery site is a game which traditionalist players will love. The game offers a top prize of £100,000 and from a practical perspective it plays just like an offline scratchcard did a decade or two ago. Of course, this isn’t an old-fashioned game at all, and so the £100,000 Rainbow is also exquisite to look at, with some superb rainbow-coloured animation effects built into the experience. As a whole package then, £100,000 Rainbow is a game that everyone will enjoy, and with odds of winning any prize at all being 1 in 4.9, winning a personal pot of gold isn’t as unlikely as you might initially imagine!

Love Match
The Love Match online scratchcard game can be played at Jackpot Scratch and is ideally suited to players who have a bit of a romantic streak, though with a top prize of £100,000 even the hard of heart might fancy having a go as well. The game is designed to evoke the same kind of feelings that people associate with the first rush of love (everybody say ahhhh) so expect plenty of pastel colours, romantic harps and more angels than you’ll find in an Oxford Street department store on Christmas Eve. Each Love Match scratchcard costs as little as 50p, though of course if you choose to spend more on a game you can win bigger prizes.

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!
