Done! I've built a scratch card with a gold metallic overlay that responds to mouse and touch. Scratching reveals a "20% OFF" coupon with a unique code, and confetti bursts across the screen once the card is fully revealed.

What Is a Scratch Card Widget?

A scratch card widget brings the thrill of a physical scratch-off ticket to your website. A colored or textured overlay covers hidden content — a coupon code, prize announcement, or promotional image. Visitors drag their finger or mouse across the overlay to gradually erase it and reveal what is underneath. Marketers use scratch cards for flash sales, seasonal promotions, loyalty rewards, and product launches because the mechanic taps into natural curiosity and the psychology of hidden rewards. The reveal moment generates genuine excitement that static discount banners simply cannot produce, leading to measurably higher click-through rates and conversion on the prizes you offer.

Why Add a Scratch Card to Your Website?

Turn passive visitors into engaged participants with hidden rewards

Create Irresistible Curiosity

A hidden prize behind a scratchable surface is almost impossible to ignore. Visitors instinctively want to reveal what is underneath, giving you guaranteed engagement that no banner ad can match.

Gate Prizes Behind Actions

Require visitors to enter their email, share on social media, or complete a purchase before they can scratch. You collect valuable leads or drive conversions while visitors enjoy the thrill of the reveal.

Works Beautifully on Every Device

The scratch interaction is powered by touch and mouse events, delivering a satisfying reveal experience on desktop, tablet, and phone. The card scales responsively and looks sharp on any screen size.

Everything You Need in a Scratch Card

Powerful reveal mechanics wrapped in an AI-powered, no-code builder

Customizable Overlay Designs

Choose from solid colors, metallic textures, gradient fills, or upload your own image as the scratchable layer. Tell the AI the look you want — "gold sparkle", "silver foil", "holiday themed" — and it creates the perfect overlay that matches your brand and campaign.

Auto-Reveal Threshold

Set a percentage threshold so the card fully reveals once enough has been scratched. When visitors scratch away 50% or 60% of the overlay, the rest fades out automatically to show the full prize. This ensures everyone sees the complete reward without needing to scratch every pixel.

Rich Reveal Content

The hidden layer can contain anything — large text, coupon codes visitors can copy, promotional images, animated confetti, or custom HTML. Describe what you want the reveal moment to look like and the AI assembles it. The content stays completely hidden until the visitor scratches.

Scratch Card Use Cases

See how businesses use scratch-to-reveal widgets to boost engagement

Flash Sales & Promotions

Hide exclusive discount codes behind a scratch overlay. Visitors who actively uncover a coupon are significantly more likely to redeem it than those who passively see a banner.

Product Launches

Build anticipation by letting visitors scratch to reveal a new product image, feature list, or launch date. The hidden reveal creates buzz that a simple announcement page cannot match.

Loyalty & Rewards Programs

Give returning customers a daily scratch card with points, free items, or tier upgrades. The lottery-style experience keeps customers coming back to check what they might win today.

Education & Training

Hide answers, hints, or bonus content behind scratch layers in quizzes and study materials. Learners actively engage with the content instead of passively reading answers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about scratch card widgets

What is a scratch card widget?

A scratch card widget is an interactive element that displays a hidden message, prize, or image beneath a scratchable overlay. Visitors drag their finger or mouse across the surface to gradually reveal the content underneath — just like a physical scratch-off lottery ticket. It adds a gamified layer to promotions, giveaways, and reveals on your website.

How does the scratch effect work technically?

The scratch effect uses an HTML canvas element layered over the prize content. As the visitor drags across the canvas, pixels in the overlay are erased using compositing operations, progressively revealing the content beneath. The effect is hardware-accelerated and runs at 60fps on modern browsers.

Can I customize what is revealed underneath?

Absolutely. The revealed content can be a coupon code, promotional message, image, video, or any HTML content. Just tell the AI what you want visitors to see when they scratch, and it sets up the hidden layer for you.

Can I set a scratch threshold before revealing fully?

Yes. You can define a percentage threshold — for example, once 60% of the overlay is scratched away, the remaining overlay fades out to fully reveal the prize. This prevents visitors from having to meticulously scratch every corner.

Will a scratch card widget slow down my website?

No. MightyWidgets loads asynchronously so it never blocks your page from rendering. The widget code is lightweight and served from a global CDN. Your page loads first, then the scratch card appears — visitors never experience a delay.

How do I add a scratch card to my website?

Sign up for a free MightyWidgets account and describe the scratch card you want in plain English — your prize content, overlay design, and reveal behavior. The AI builds it for you. Ask for adjustments until it looks perfect, then publish. You'll get a single line of embed code to paste into any page on your site.

Does the scratch card work on mobile devices?

Yes. The scratch card is fully responsive and touch-optimized. Visitors can scratch with their finger on phones and tablets just as naturally as they would with a mouse on desktop. The card automatically scales to fit any screen size.

Is MightyWidgets free to use?
