Why are Scratch Cards so popular?

Scratch cards are a huge amount of fun because they offer the potential surprise of winning a prize. Until you scratch off the covers and reveal the symbols below, you won't know if you've won or not. Winning feels great but the excitement and anticipation as you begin to scratch off the symbols is just as entertaining. Playing scratch cards really keeps you on your toes, leaving you wondering what you will get when you scratch off the next card.

There are so many different outcomes with scratch cards and you never know which symbols you're going to get. It means that you'll be on the edge of your seat, waiting to find out if you've won the big payout you've been hoping for! With different themes of scratch cards too, with all kinds of official branded titles, you get to try out all kinds of games.

You can also enjoy online scratch cards with friends. Together, you can wait with bated breath to see if you've won a big prize on your card, or if you haven't been so lucky. You can also look for the best online scratch cards together and share reviews and opinions about which online scratch card game themes are the best.

What is the difference between traditional scratch cards and online scratch cards?

Traditional scratch cards have been around for several decades. Online scratch cards are a newer invention and they offer some brilliant innovations that make playing scratch cards a lot more enjoyable.

When you play scratch cards online, your wins are instant. You don't have to take a scratched-off piece of flimsy cardboard back to the shops to redeem it. Your winnings are automatically added to your account and you can make a withdrawal, transferring your winnings to the account or payment service of your choice (withdrawal time restrictions may apply and will differ depending on which one you choose).

Online scratch cards don't come with any mess. You get all of the enjoyment of scratching them off and seeing if you've successfully matched the symbols without having to shake any grey shavings from your clothing!

When playing online, you also have the benefit of being able to play wherever you want. As long as you have an internet connection and a compatible computer or mobile device, a new scratch is just a few clicks away.

Types of Online Scratch Cards

There are all kinds of online scratch cards that you can enjoy. While they all feature the same core strategy - scratching off the cards and matching symbols together - each scratch card may have a theme.

There are new scratch cards like Kong The 8th Wonder of the World scratch card, which is based on the blockbuster movie about the giant primate. It features symbols such as King Kong as well as the characters played by Jack Black and Naomi Watts in the movie.

Another new scratch card games is Rocky Scratch which is based on the blockbuster boxing movie. That slot features symbols such as one of Sylvester Stallone's character and images of his most famous opponents. In this slot, you scratch off the opponents and, if Rocky knocks them out in the video clip, you'll win a prize!

Most new scratch card games offer two options for playing. In the King Kong scratch card, there is a Scratch All button that allows you to scratch off all of the symbols on the card. Or, you can use the Autoplay feature to play multiple cards (up to 99 cards) at a time. The Shuffle feature will shuffle the cards you've purchased. 

Scratch Card Rules

Every scratch card will have its own rules. Each online scratch card game will have a different price per card and you must have enough money in your account to meet the default price for a card. However, you can also purchase multiple games in an online scratch card to improve your chances of getting a payout.

Scratch Cards Odds

Each scratch card game will have its own odds, too. Online scratch casinos use a stat called Return to Player or RTP which describes the percentage of wagered money that will be returned to the player over time.

The Kong scratch card game has an RTP of 95.00% which means that for every £1 you spend on the scratch card, you will get 95p back over time (average). The Rocky scratch card game has an RTP of 94.79%, which means that for every £1 you spend, you will get 94.79p back. 

New scratch cards may have different RTPs. Check before you begin playing.

Scratch Cards Payouts

Scratch cards will also have different payouts. There are smaller payouts of hundreds of pounds, increasing to thousands of pounds, while some scratch cards have maximum payouts of hundreds of thousands of pounds and some, up to £1 million! 

The payout that you get may depend on your bet. Some scratch cards offer flat payouts that don't depend on how much you have wagered. However, others reward you with a hefty payout based on a multiplier and will be multiplied by the amount that you have wagered. Games will display these when you start playing, allowing you to check before you start playing and start purchasing cards.
