ScratchMania Review 2024
Launched back in 2006, ScratchMania.com is a premier online scratcher website that allows players from all over the world to try their luck on a variety of online games. Hermione Limited operates the site on behalf of Twino Trading—a company registered in Curacao. In this ScratchMania.com review, we will look at what is available on the website and how you can use it to win great cash prizes.
How Does It Work?
To begin playing on ScratchMania, you will need to register a player account. This can quickly be done through the website and will require you to provide your full name, a valid email address, your contact number, and physical address. Once you have registered a player account, you will be free to deposit money into your player account and start playing.
Because the site has more in common with online casinos than online lottery websites, keeping track of your winnings and what you have been playing can all easily be done through your user profile. This profile can be accessed from any game that you are playing using the menu at the bottom of the game window.
Is ScratchMania.com Legit or a Scam?
As we always say, a site that manages to hang around for more than just a few years clearly can’t be that bad—how else would it continue to exist if everybody was talking trash about it online and boycotting it? ScratchMania has been around the block for a while and is still going strong, which speaks volumes about how trustworthy they are.
And, if their longevity does not convince you of their trustworthiness, then the fact that the Curacao Gaming Authority licenses them should. After all, it means that they have a wide variety of strict rules and regulations that they need to abide by in order to keep their site online.
Lotteries Available
The site does not host or support any traditional lotteries. Instead, it features over 150 other games to keep you coming back. These games encompass three different categories:
- Scratchers: These include all your traditional scratch card games as well as a few games that place a unique twist on the conventional scratcher.
- Slots: As you may find on many other online gaming websites, the site also features a selection of digital slot machines that can be played for hours on end.
- Virtual Sports: These games bring sports to your device by digitalising a variety of them for you to enjoy.
User Experience
For want of a better word, the ScratchMania website is cluttered. A lot is happening on the site, and there are rotating banners that keep drawing your eye back to them. This is not necessarily an entirely bad thing but can become distracting quickly. In addition to this, the constant pop-ups asking you to either register or try out some new game do get old very quickly.
However, this is not our main issue with the site. The main problem is that the main site that you actually play on opens in a new window and does not load in the window that you initially visited the site in. It may seem like a small thing, but it does get annoying having to have more than one browser window open—after all, tabs were created for a reason.
Thankfully, it is not all bad. The navigation of the website is handled well by the top menu bar (or bottom menu bar when you are playing a game), and the graphics on the site are eye-catching. The site also claims to be fully mobile-device friendly—which makes up for the lack of any dedicated iOS/Android app.
ScratchMania.com Extras
There is only one major extra available on the website—a VIP club. The VIP club offers players exclusive games and bonuses. For every $10 you spend on the site you will receive one VIP point. Accumulate more points to raise your VIP level. You will need to accumulate 400 VIP points (or spend $4,000) to reach the Bronze level and a vast 50,000 VIP points to attain the highest level—Diamond level.
Payment/Withdrawal Options
There are a decent number of payment portals supported by the website, including:
- Visa/Mastercard
- PaySafe Card
- Cashlib
- EPS
- Neteller
- Diners Club
- Carte Bleue
- Carta Si
- Direct eDebit
- GiroPay
- Mister Cash
- Interac e-Transfer
- Interac Online
There are, however, only two options to withdraw money. This can be done directly to your Visa credit card or by wire transfer.
How to Claim Your Winnings
Because all winnings go to your online player wallet, all your money is safely stored in your account until you choose to remove it. If you want to withdraw, simply click on the ‘Cashout’ button on your profile. You will be able to select your withdrawal method and follow the prompts to get your winnings. It must be said that there is a maximum withdrawal limit of $20,000 per month—but if you’re hitting this limit regularly, then please write to us and share with us your secrets!
Customer Support
There is a somewhat helpful FAQ section available on the site. There is also an online form, an email address (support@scratchmania.com), a contact number (+357 2200 7792) that has no hours of operation listed, and a live chat function that does not seem to work at all.
Welcome Bonuses/Promotions
There is a 100% deposit match bonus available for new players. This is great, but be warned. Hidden in the terms and conditions is the statement that if you choose to accept this bonus, you will not be able to withdraw any winnings until you have spent 30 times your deposit amount by playing on the website.

ScratchMania.com Review Conclusion
ScratchMania gets a large number of things right. The site overall is pretty good and a pretty fun place to play some games. However, there are a few niggles (like the site design and the sneaky bonus conditions) that we feel the developers should fix rather than just leaving them be. That being said, since it’s certainly possible to win cash through the site, it’s worth a shot if the games on it appeal to you.
