Free Scratchcards

Free scratchcards are exactly what the term suggests – scratch card games that you can play for free. These scratchcards work in exactly the same way as regular online scratchcards, and in most cases you can play exactly the same games as you can when playing with real money.

There are two main ways to play free scratchcards. The first is by finding a range of scratchcards that are provided for ‘fun play’ purposes. These won’t cost you a penny no matter how long you play for, but the downside is that you won’t be able to win any real money either. In other words, if you hit a jackpot you will be paid with ‘fun money’. You will still get a huge thrill, but unfortunately you won’t be able to spend any of your ‘fun money’ jackpot in the real world.

Free Cash Scratchcards

The second way of playing free scratchcards is by signing up with a site that offers you a modest amount of free cash on joining. Some scratchcard sites offer cash just for signing up. The site Scratch2Cash, for example, will give you $5 or £5 or €5 to try their games for free.

Other sites will match whatever deposit you choose to make of your own. For example, if you deposit £20 at a site you may be awarded £20 free, giving you a total of £40 to play with. Whatever the case, when you play scratchcards using this type of free cash, you get to keep any money that you win – even if it’s a £100,000 jackpot! In our opinion, that makes this way of playing free scratchcards the one to go for if your main reason for playing in the first place is to try and win.

Of course, the ‘fun money’ option also has its uses. First, it allows you to try out as many of the scratch card games on offer without risking a penning of your own money. You can therefore discover which games you like most before deciding to commit any cash. And obviously, if your motivation for playing is purely to have fun then ‘fun money’ games can be every bit as enjoyable as cash games.
