SmartScratch®

Instant-win lottery that sells in any checkout lane.

Reloadable instant games on a smart chip in a standard gift-card form — sold from the gift-card racks already at checkout, played on the player's own phone. All the excitement of a scratch ticket plus mobile play, with zero changes to retailer environments or operations.

The industry norm

Selling instant games at the checkout lane has traditionally meant making room for new equipment in every checkout lane — overhauling POS systems, operations, security, and accounting to handle pre-printed paper tickets.

The Tapcentive difference

We reinvented the ticket itself. The game lives on a smart chip in a standard gift-card form factor, so it sells anywhere gift cards already sell, and players simply tap the card to their phone to start playing — no download required. The lane stays exactly as it is: no clerk training, no POS project, no IT lift, no player registration or deposit.

How it works

Buy → Tap to Play → Redeem

1

Buy the card

Players pick up a reloadable SmartScratch card from the standard gift-card rack or any self-service display at checkout, and hand it to a clerk for purchase like a gift card.

2

Tap to play

A tap of the card to their phone starts mobile play instantly — no registration, no app.

3

Redeem

Winnings are redeemed back at retail — simple, secure, and familiar.

A platform, not a single game

One system. Every price point and play style.

SmartScratch isn't one game — it's a delivery system for a lottery's entire instant-game lineup. Offer multiple price points, themes, and game styles on the same reloadable card and rack, and refresh them whenever you like. Sells right off the standard gift-card J-hook — no new fixtures, secure dispensers, or specialized checkout hardware.

Card designs, prices, prizes, and games shown are illustrative.
