Basic Scratch Card: Free digital scratch card giveaway
Basic Scratch Card is a free scratch-to-win card: visitors scratch a silver panel on their phone and instantly see a prize code or a no-win message. You set the prizes, odds and quantities, and the server makes the draw, one play per visitor.

Fair play
One play per visitor per card, drawn on the server when they start scratching, and at most 5 plays an hour from one connection.
Prize reveal
Winners see their code with a copy button. “Can’t scratch? Reveal it instead” helps anyone who can’t scratch.

Frequently asked questions
Is Basic Scratch Card free?
Yes. Basic Scratch Card costs nothing to open, edit and publish.
Do I need a paid plan to use it?
No. You can publish on the free Standard plan, which includes up to 3 hosted pages. On the free plan a code and its page stay live for 14 days after publishing; after that, $5 once keeps one code live for good, or any paid plan (from $12 a month) keeps all your codes live.
Can I change the page after the QR code is printed?
Yes. Edit it in Studio and publish again. The printed code keeps pointing to the same page, so nothing needs reprinting.
Do visitors need an app?
No. The page opens in the phone’s web browser straight from the camera scan.
Can someone play more than once?
Each visitor gets one play per card, recorded on the server, and one connection can play at most 5 times an hour.
Who decides if a card wins?
The server, using the odds and quantities you set. Prize codes aren’t in the page until someone wins one.
