The History Of Online Scratch Cards

Scratch cards, or scratchies as they are sometimes better known, are a recent invention with the internet only taking off in the 1990’s and online scratch cards only really became available in the late 1990’s; prior to this time, not all that many people actually had access to the internet, with most people having access at work, but fewer people had access at home. Then in the late 1990’s more people started to view the internet as being useful at home, as well as at work.

So scratchies are less than 20 years old and yet in that time we have gone from having very simple scratch cards, with extremely simple graphics, to having the most up to date and intricate scratch cards; they really are amazing. Some of them have got the most amazing sound tracks!

The number of online scratch sites and the fact that so many people now play scratchies, means that they are going to be around for some time; they are expanding all the time and the people who develop them are making them more and more realistic. I wonder if, in a few years time, we will all have 3D scratchies that appeal to different senses; we may even be able to have scented scratch cards or ones that have aromas associated with the game. Given how far scratch cards have come in such a short time, this is not an unrealistic prediction! So look out for the scratch cards that appeal to all the senses! Now wouldn’t that be exciting?
