So I recently received an email from freebitco.in faucet that are now offering an annual investment for their user.
It promises a 4.08% of annual interest with a minimum of 30k satoshi to be able to participate.

What do you guys think about this?

This is the actual email from them:

Dear FreeBitco.in user,

We are excited to announce a launch of a new feature - a bitcoin savings account!

You can now earn 4.08% annual interest (paid and compounded daily) on any balance that you hold in your FreeBitco.in account, without doing anything!

All you need to do is mantain a balance of at least 30,000 satoshi (0.0003 BTC) in your FreeBitco.in account and we shall pay you compounded interest on your full balance everyday. There is no lock-in period to earn interest (you start earning interest right from the first day!) and your balance can be withdrawn any time you wish. Treat your FreeBitco.in account like an instant-access savings account to hold your excess bitcoins and earn passive interest on your account balance everyday.

It's very hard to think that a faucet site will surely retain its fame for the long time and 1 year i quitely to far to be happen and surely we cannot assure that we can get some profits if dividends happen. And if they are giving only 4% per annum roi per year to us i also think its truly better or shall i call best if we invest on banks while they are giving 8% per 2 years payout with plus additional income from dividends, Just inquire to BDO i believe theirs a bank near you to clarify that.

it's paying daily and it's compounding. your math does not really apply here. you're earning much more than linear 4% per year

No, you are not. You are earning exactly what it says - 4.08% annual.

You can use this calculator https://dicesites.com/tools if you don't believe me. It is pretty much accurate - just put 1BTC base bet, balance 1000, multiply on loss 1.000109589, bet payout 1 and just look at bet amount.
It will show your earnings.
