Free Scratchcards UK Online Scratch Cards
A guide to playing free scratch cards with pros and cons and where to safely play free scratchcards online in the UK:
This article will discuss free scratchcards in the UK and the online scratch cards with information about why companies and websites run free scratchcard
promotions and why they are given away so freely in magazines and outlines the advantages and disadvantages of playing free scratchcards. There
are some examples of free scratchcards at our other website
www.borntoloaf.co.uk which has a £50 prize given away each day.
Okay so you have found, been awarded or received a free scratchcard either online or free in a magazine. You have probably just joined the majority of people who could
not resist getting a coin, or in the case of a computer scratchcard using the mouse of the PC, and rubbed off the covering to reveal....Congratulations you have won!!!
Or have you?
Freescratchcards, instant win game, scratch off, free scratchcards, free scratch cards, scratch and win, scratch ticket, scratcher, scratch to match, scratch2cash,
scratch prize tickets, scratch off, scratch game - there are so many names for these
cards. The common theme of scratchards are to have anything from 3, 6 or 9 golden or silver panels in which the scratchcard player takes a coin, or uses their mouse
in the case of a virtual or online scratchcard, and rubs the panel to reveal symbols. Most are colourful and some have themes ranging from pirates, coboys, space, World
Cup, The Olympics, Christmas - anything seasonal or news topical. Winners have to reveal a set amount of matching panels or get a series of matching symbols.
Surprisingly, most of the free scratchcards reveal winning tickets and sometimes have the player shouting Jackpot Joy Bingo Wahay Yahoo Wooooaaa!
But hang on a minute - take some time to think about this. You have been given this card for free. You may not instantly recognise the company or website name.
You have entered for the first time. You have won a big prize?
Where is the catch?
Glad you asked! We at findextrawork have spotted several catches and have described them below. Judge for yourself if playing free scratchcards and UK online scratch
cards is harmless fun, a great chance to win prizes or a bit of a scam. It can certainly lead to you playing more and more games and parting with cash.
Register Winning Scratch Cards to Claim Points or Prizes
Some websites will give you the opportunity to play free online scratch cards which give you instant notification if you are a winner or loser. We have yet to rub off the
panels to find ourselves a loser! So after finishing dancing around the room dreaming of vast money prizes, sports cars or holiday prizes come back down to earth and have
another short think - to claim your prize you need to first reveal your name and e-mail address at the very least. Other scratch cards websites are more intrusive and
ask for your address, telephone number, occupation, marital status, salary range, age, date of birth, number of children - rather a lot of information you are freely
giving away. Just what is the company going to do with it? Did you give a password you use on other sites? Is it the same password you use for your online bank account?
Did you have to give your bank account details to the free scratchcard website? Are they going to spam you with junk e-mails, phone calls, mailings? Will they sell your
details - some rather personal and of interest to a number of third parties?
And what about the prize? Well done your efforts to play and win have given you some winning
jackpot prize
points that can be "spent" on their website. Great news - what do you get to spend your winnings on? Well more free prize competitions along with revealing more about
yourself. During all this you will have had to visit the website of a gaming company and may be tempted to part with some cash to play some bingo, casino, poker,
slot, card or other instant win games.
You may have the chance to win cash prizes and most websites are reputable and do pay out winnings but you may have started a career as an internet gambler and could
loose money you may not be able to afford. Our advice is not to be tempted and get yourself some paying employment using the ideas on the left and right of Find
Extra Work. If you really do want to play games do see it as a bit of fun, not a get rich quick scheme, and set yourself limits to how long you will play and how
much money you will gamble. Set a daily, weekly or monthly limit or budget and stick with it.
Telephone Scratchcard Winnings
Great stuff you have revealed a winning free scratchcard. Now how do you claim any winnings? In the case of an internet scratch card you simply go to their
website and freely give away your details. In the case of free scratchcards given away in magazines you will probably have to dial a telephone number to find out what your
prize is. In many cases you will be about to dial a premium rate number to claim a free scratchcard prize which is kept hidden until the end of the telephone call - if you
ever get there. The phone call will usually be a pre-recorded message congratulating you in a cheery uplifting voice of your good fortune of your winning. You may hear
some statistics about other free scratchcards winners and their prizes. The nice voice may also tell you about the company or how to get more free scratchcards or other
competitions, usually other premium rate phone call competitions.
All the while your telephone bill is being charged by the second or the minute for a premium rate number.
Some so called winners rarely get to the end of the message to find out how to claim their free scratchcards winnings: they get so fed up hearing the blurb of the
advertiser with false promises of being able to get minted or a cashcade of cash that they hang up. Others twig and realise that they may have been conned. The sad
outcome is a huge phone bill to pay off. Put these free scratchcards straight into the bin or shredder - unfortunately you cannot recycle these bits of card or paper
because of the chemicals used on the scratch pads or panels. If you really do like doing scratch cards and like the occasional healthy flutter then buy one from
the National Lottery at your local shop, take it home and enjoy your flutter - you could win a prize and some of your money has gone to a worthwhile cause.
The advice on this free scratchcard review is generic and reflects upon no known website, company or organisation. There are many reputable suppliers of scratchcards
who charge you to play them, users enjoy playing these games and win real prizes. A fine example is the UK National Lottery whose scratchcards are available to those
aged over 18 years and are available to play at most newsagents, shops, garages, supermarkets, etc. Real people win these real prizes and a percentage of the profits go
to worthwhile British charities.
There are some websites that are quite fun and safe to play at and some games start at only a penny. Visit the
Example Scratch Card
page for these sites and an example of a free scratchcard.
