What are the rules for playing scratch cards

Scratch cards are very popular games that can be found both online and at real, land-based venues. These games are usually presented in a grid format with a colorful picture over the top. Your job is to remove that covering layer to reveal the symbols that are found underneath. Similar to playing online slots, these scratch card games simply require you to match up symbols if you want to get a win. Often these scratch cards work in the same way as classic three reel slots did – you only need to match up three of the same symbol in order to score a win. The various different symbols will normally list their respective value, so as you reveal them you will know exactly how much you are going to win without the need for a paytable. Scratch cards are available in a wide range of themes and can have a variety of different top prizes. Cost per card varies accordingly. So it pays to shop around until you find a game that suits your budget and winning desires. Or simply pick one that you like the look of!

Instant win games such as scratch cards sometimes have an expiration date. This is particularly true of those games that are found at land-based venues. In the case of these scratch cards, you need to check whether there is a time frame in which you need to collect any winnings that you may have scored. Usually there is a six month limit, and if you miss it you won’t be able to claim your winnings. In the case of jackpot games, sometimes that jackpot may have already been won, so it’s important you check out those details too. However, a lot of this is unnecessary when playing a scratch card online. As we do with jackpot slots, our jackpot scratch cards are always available. We also don’t have a time limit on when you have to claim your reward. This is due to the simple fact that any winnings are added to your account automatically, and instantly! This makes playing online a whole lot easier than trying to play a scratch card at a shop. Why not check out the scratch cards at Betiton now.

Scratch card games are hugely popular for a number of reasons. The first of these is that they are simple to play. As a luck-based game there is no need to implement any strategies. It is simply a matter of scratching off the symbols and seeing if you’ve won. In line with this, the fact that these are instant win games is also a bonus for many people. As soon as you get the matching symbols, the money will pop into your account ready for you to use again online. Scratch cards are also usually very budget-friendly casino games. There are a wide range of different value scratch card options for players. These can range from just a few cents per card up to $10 per card. With the difference in price, there is also a difference in the potential wins, with the more expensive cards usually having the bigger wins on offer. You can also usually buy scratch cards in bulk, which results in a discounted price per card making it even better for budget players to join in and play.

Similar to all other games like blackjack or lottery options, scratch cards do have a set of rules. These tend to be a little stricter when it comes to the real, physical versions of scratch cards. When you buy a real card in a shop, you need to be careful that it has not already been tampered with and that parts of the top layer have not already been scratched off. This is because on these types of cards there are usually rules as to how many symbols or areas can be removed. Scratching off too much can result in the card becoming void. Online scratch cards tend not to suffer from this and, usually, players will scratch off and reveal every single symbol to find out if they have won. However, each card will have a variation on these rules so it is well worth checking how the card should be played before starting and being disappointed. Generally too, scratch cards can be played by younger players, in most countries the age limit on these scratch card games is 16.

How to win at scratch card games

As these are games of luck, there’s no real strategy or way of beating the card to win. Similar to roulette, it’s more about managing your bankroll. Being able to continue playing for an extended period of time is what will help you to get a win. With scratch cards, the first thing you should do is look at the odds of that card paying out. The different games are likely to have different odds, so those with good odds of regular payouts are the ones you should be choosing. All of the scratch cards online will display this information. As we’ve touched on, scratch cards are also available for bulk buys. This means that you can purchase a large number of scratch cards at a discounted rate, which will save you money in the long run. Have a look for the bargain options when picking a scratch card. We also recommend that players in CA don’t just go for the biggest jackpot, often the cheaper cards offering smaller prizes will pay out more regularly, even if it is a lesser amount. At the end of the day, a win is a win!

How to choose your scratch cards

If your chosen game offers a jackpot play, do check that it hasn’t already been won. At Betiton, we have a wide range of scratch cards available. For an enjoyable bit of fun, choose one with a theme and prizes that you like and that suits your budget.
