Latex?
editWhat other material do the manufacturers use other than latex for the scratch-offs? I never heard anyone with a latex allergy not using instant tickets.Shippo (talk) 13:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
How are Scratchcards made?
editI like that they tell us that the material is latex, but is there other material and how do they get it on there..and how do they print on the place that is covering the hidden content, and is it possible to make your own scratch card at home?
Are there companies that make the stuff that you would use to hide that part of your card that would dry and you can scratch off later (like if you were a teacher and wanted to generate some professional looking scratch cards for the students of your class) without having to know the entire layout up front?
Would it be like a Presto Magix kind of application where you buy sheets of the stuff and scratch it on to the part of your card that you want to hide? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shippo (talk • contribs)

Such cards are vulnerable to attack by devices which allow individuals to see through the concealing substance without physically disturbing it.
editso in the line 'Such cards are vulnerable to attack by devices which allow individuals to see through the concealing substance without physically disturbing it.' : is it saying there are known methods to see through the 'latex' on scratch cards? all or just certain kinds? If so where is the reference for that and what are the supposed methods for seeing through it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.160.131.17 (talk) 08:19, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Scratchcards vs Scratch tickets
editI know that bringing up regional dialect with regard to article nomenclature is a recipe for flamewar, but where the heck do they say "scratchcard"? In Massachusetts, where they're extremely popular, I have only ever heard scratch ticket. 76.19.26.248 (talk) 14:52, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Pretty much the whole of the UK for one thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.140.66 (talk) 16:46, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Yes. "Scratchcard" is prettymuch the sole term for these in the UK - Ive never even heard of "Scratch Ticket" 94.168.179.213 (talk) 16:26, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Magazine scratch cards
editThere does not seem to be any info about the scratch cards that are typically included in magazines, for example, the ones that typically offer holidays, cars, cash prizes, and reek of a scam. Are they illegal is certain areas? (I heard they were illegal in Denmark.) Vuvuzela2010 (talk) 12:51, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
