Scratch Cards are very simple to play, but it does help to known what you’re looking for when scratching off those numbers, symbols or whatever may be unveiled. In this section, we’re going to teach you how to play online scratch cards, followed by another detailed description of how to win scratch cards.

How To Play Scratch Cards

To play scratch cards at an online scratch site, first log in, then select the Instant Win, or Scratch Card menu. Next, choose a Scratch Card to play. Each scratch card comes with a price tag, so be sure to note the price before purchasing a card.

You should be able to view the rules of the scratch card before purchasing, either displayed directly on the scratch card, or by clicking the ‘More Info’ button. The rules will tell you how to play, and the requirements for winning. You should also be able to see all potential prize amounts, and the probability of winning.

When ready, click “Purchase” to purchase one scratch card. From here, you should be shown a selection of 10 scratch cards. You may choose any one you wish. As soon as you click on a card, it will be displayed to the left, and you will be able to scratch it off. Note that when you are done, purchasing another scratch card of the same type is as simple as clicking on another card from the 1-10 available.

Now, you’re ready to scratch off your card. You could just click the instant scratch button to reveal whether you’ve won or not, but there’s just not as much fun in that. Instead, look for a button labeled “scratch tools”, or something similar. Within this menu is a list of tools you can use to scratch off your card. Objects often include buttons, bottle caps, coins, keys and other inventive, flat-edged items. Click on a scratch tool and click okay.

Your mouse pointer now becomes the scratch tool of your choice. To scratch the card, hover the tool over the scratchable area and hold down the left mouse key. Virtually rub the scratch tool over the card and it will reveal the contents of the card.

How To Win Scratch Cards

As we mentioned above, you can view the rules and winning conditions of each type of scratch card by clicking the ‘More Info’ button. Some scratch cards will display the winning conditions directly on the card.

Typical scratch cards will require the player to match three alike monetary units, such as $10, $10, $10. This would award a $10 prize. Others may want you to match three alike symbols, such as three gold bars, three clovers or three cross-bones. It all depends on the theme of the scratch. On these types of scratch cards, the prize is generally scratched in a separate box.

Then there scratch cards that resemble a game of Tic-Tac-Toe. For these, you are required to line up three alike symbols in a straight line, across, down or diagonally. These scratch cards also reveal the prize in a separate box.

Some scratch cards also come with special bonuses. For example, you may have a scratch card that requires three alike monetary units. If you win, you can scratch the special bonus area to reveal whether your prize is multiplied. The bonus box could reveal 1x, 2x, 10x or any other available multiple.

If you win, your winnings will be instantly deposited into your bankroll. You can continue playing by selecting another scratch card from the 1-10 provided, by refreshing the 1-10 selection of cards, or by choosing a different type of scratch card to play.
