Scratchcards are now a familiar feature on many different online gaming sites and the success of the format owes much to the popularity of the international game cards that can be purchased in land-based outlets throughout the world. Most online bingo sites now offer scratchcards as side games that can be played between events although the style of these has always been a little cumbersome and simplistic.
Recent years have seen the introduction of several specialised scratchcard sites and Neo Games are unquestionably the best of the bunch. The company has now been offering dedicated scratchcard games for over four years and have enjoyed incredible success with them.
Hopa Scratchcards have been running since 2005 and was launched at around the same time as its sister site, Scratch2Cash. The format of Hopa Scratchcards is almost identical to Scratch2Cash and uses a familiar ‘Rub and Reveal’ style that can be carried out using a mouse or by clicking on an auto-reveal option that uncovers all of the symbols on a scratchcard with a single click.
Online players that have enjoyed free bingo and no deposit bingo bonuses on other sites will be delighted with the free £5 worth of scratchcards that are offered for simply registering to the site. Hopa Scratchcards also offer a 100% matching bonus on all first-time deposits. Although the bonuses aren’t as big as those found on many bingo and casino sites, there’s still a big enough incentive to invest into an account. Hopa Scratchcards proudly claim that 1 card in every 3 is a winner so there are plenty of chances to add to a bankroll before the bonus money is used up.
Game formats are very familiar and most of the scratchcards consist of trying to match up three different symbols to win a designated cash prize. However, there are more than 40 different games to choose from and the style can vary greatly. Some cards play as a fruit machine format while others rely on scoring a higher points total than a virtual competitor.
Hopa Scratchcards also has a healthy ‘Refer a Friend’ feature where players can earn an additional £25 for each new player they recommend that eventually makes a deposit to their accounts. Members can also join Club Pearl where a series of daily promotions and special offers are available.
The site can be played in multiple languages and the online support at the site is as comprehensive as it gets. As well as boasting a fantastic FAQ section, Hopa Scratchcards also have e-mail help, telephone support and live chat operators available. The site will also accept queries by fax.
Although the style at Hopa Scratchcards will seem incredibly familiar, new players will be pleasantly surprised by the smooth, rolling graphical content compared to the weaker efforts on other sites where scratchcards are more of an addition than of a speciality. Hopa Scratchcards sits along the best of its genre and looks set to enjoy considerable success for many years to come.
