They had a min tip back in 2015. I can't remember what it was but it was something like 50000 Sats or so.
However you could make a brand new account, no deposits, get a 1000 sat faucet and once you hit 50000 sat you could tip another alt user account.
Whenever someone tips someone it appears in the public chat.
Usually we would see something like
Joe1 tipped Joe 50000 Sats
Joe2 tipped Joe 50000 Sats
Joe3 tipped Joe 50000 Sats
Basically that is clearly someone account farming and faucet abusing. There were even mods in the channel that show that and they didn't care. I even asked why it's allows and was given an answer along the lines of "It's against the terms but at the moment we don't enforce it".
Now a lot has changed provably because the abuse multiplies exponentially and PD had no choice.
How can you say farming is faucet abusing? Surely it was timewasting but I didn't find anything in their TOS or FAQ that saying " Using faucet and withdrawing from it is against our rules " They even promoted "The more you wager the higher your faucet gets and you are able to withdraw your faucet winnings. "
However if someone Tip from Account1--->
Account2 50k at the time
Account2 had 1k sat. And then sending back that 51k Back to
Account1 then it could be considered abusing.
But banning someone for a lot of Faucet claims is not a kind move and surely is against the promises made to those members who wager 100+ BTC.
The reason why people tipped themselves was because it would be extremely difficult and time consuming to go from a faucet balance to the min withdraw balance.
Hence people just made a few different accounts, each one so they have enough time to go past the Captcha faucet time limit and would tip the minimum amount of like 50K until that account reached the min withdraw.
How are these people exactly contributing to the growth of the site? They aren't. Just waste of resources.
The reason why they rewarded heavy gamblers with a larger faucet was as a gift to get you to gamble more. Hence why the accounts with 100+ BTC roll overs had the most largest faucets.
