But as I'm here, how does the loyalty bonus work? If I don't connect for one day will it be reset to zero?
That's precisely how it works. Loyalty bonuses are designed to incentivize frequent interaction. That's how all the faucet loyalty bonuses work.
As a faucet user, I packed up all my loyalty bonus faucets on my mobile device and made sure to spin them all every day while on vacation. #faucetlife 😂
