I logged on today and found 50,001 satoshis sitting in my spare account which I never use. No idea where it came from because my stats page shows that I only wagered 2,000 satoshis with 0 wins and 5 losses. Doesn't look like I made any deposits either. I never posted in chat using this account so I doubt it was from someone else. Weird...
Faucet will now be 200 satoshi's unless your wagered is over 1 BTC. If your wagered is over 1 BTC your faucet will remain the same prior to the update and will increment in the same manner.
Couldn't someone just bet 1 BTC at 98% and get the larger faucet with practically zero risk? Or they could bet 0.5 BTC at 98% two times, again with practically zero risk?
I was riding high with PD, up to 0.05 profit, then I crashed down to -0.04 profit and decided that I'd better quit. Haven't played in a while. I think that lifetime profit/loss stat might be too much of a reality check. I know it's kept me from putting in more money once I saw how far behind I was. On the other hand, it's very open and honest of PD to show us this so easily.
Then again, it's possible that some users might look at their lifetime profit/loss and if it's negative then they might gamble even more funds to make up for their losses.
50k satoshi is nice, perhaps someone made a typo when tipping others.
Why would they risk 1BTC for a ~1ksatoshi faucet. There are people losing BTC when betting at 98%. If they are found to be abusing, they would most probably get banned, not so practical way for getting a tiny bit bigger faucet, you would need years to ROI.
If they don't like the stats, just create a new account or ask support to reset it for you. Not such a big deal for having negative profits.
