SmartScratch

Easy to Purchase, Play, Redeem, and Reload.

Players purchase SmartScratch cards from any authorized retailer. The purchase includes a bundle of plays based on the purchase price and the underlying game. Then, with just the tap of the card to their phone, players are drawn into the exciting world of mobile gaming via their mobile browser where they choose from multiple game reveal experiences and instantly discover what they have won.

Players collect cash for winnings by returning to a retailer and presenting their card or they can use their phone to exchange their winnings for more plays. When they are out of plays and out of winnings, players can return to any retailer to purchase more plays on their card.

The SmartScratch Platform: Powerful. Flexible. Customizable.

Using a simple web interface, operators or gaming vendors create and monitor SmartScratch programs which define game math, pricing, purchase rules, outcome pool, game experiences, and cards.

Technology That Protects Your Players and Revenue.

SmartScratch has been designed from the ground-up using bank-grade technology and security that powers global banking and payment systems worldwide. Unlike paper game tickets that need to be carefully protected in secure dispensers, SmartScratch cards hold no value until they are purchased. This means the cards can be offered on self-service displays for easy purchase and retailers don't need to worry about the theft of unsold cards.

This level of security also gives players confidence in the game because their wins are secured by the card. And with their own phone they can confirm the authenticity of their card. The card security also means operators don't have to spend precious resources monitoring vendors and distributors for untrusted insiders who attempt to steal high prize tickets or introduce counterfeit tickets as a means to steal from players and operators.

Seamlessly Integrate With Existing Terminals.

Gaming operators have a lot invested in terminals and infrastructure that enable them to sell and redeem game tickets of all types. SmartScratch has been designed to fit right in, with SmartScratch cards activated for sale and redeemed for cash through those same terminals thanks to simple integration with the SmartScratch platform.

Integration with existing terminals and infrastructure means no changes to the processes and accounting practices already in-place by an operator for tracking sales, redemptions, and paying commissions.

Expand Sales In-Lane to Any Cash Register.

SmartScratch cards are manufactured to comply with the standards of the plastic gift card industry so that SmartScratch cards can be distributed and sold anywhere that a plastic gift card is sold. This means that an operator can offer SmartScratch for sale through retailers who sell gift cards but do not have a dedicated gaming terminal.

For retailers, the process of selling SmartScratch is identical to selling a gift card. Players bring the card to the point-of-sale and pay for the desired play amount. The retailer activates the card using the same process that all other gift cards are activated. The simplicity of this solution is due to SmartScratch integration with existing gift card network operators. This opens the way to a significant expansion of sales with SmartScratch sold at every cash register and all at no capital cost to the operator.

Big Market with Limited Infrastructure? No Problem.

If you are a gaming operator, mobile network operator, or vendor in a regulated gaming market and want to offer SmartScratch but you have limited or no dedicated infrastructure or terminals, SmartScratch is designed for you too. The SmartScratch platform includes the ability to transform any mobile phone into a secure terminal for sales and redemptions by simply downloading an app.

With our app-based solution, SmartScratch can be securely deployed across agent networks of sellers to reach the most remote corners of a market and to do so with an economic and security model that works for everyone far better than paper games ever can.
