Anyone using a bot to claim the hourly free BTC is abusing the site; and that's the reason it's unfair for the rest of the users.
...cut...
Can't agree more to this. Faucets were always free of cost, but not free for nothing (except Freebitcoin which really is free of ads or anything at all haha) but all of the old faucet sites gained revenue from ads. When people cheated with bots, those ads didn't bring in money and sites had to close down.
Basically, revenue must be generated for sites to earn something but the sad thing is farmers don't care. They'll take as much as they can knowing the site will close down if they keep doing so. They have burned earth mentality.
This actually wasn't a big issue in 2016 like I recall, but in 2017 there was just too many people who were abusing the system and they had no choice but to reduce the faucet, then lower it even further and finally just get rid of it all together. Because it was too much of a headache to keep having to freeze withdraws.
This is a big loss for the site especially if the abuser win the jackpot that's why I agree on what counter action they do since it could drive the abuser away since its not profitable for them to do this kind of act. And maybe best for the site to offer a play money for test and get rid the faucet totally so that there will be no more disturbance in their site for in that area.
But I think the new sites didn't have this feature anymore if I'm not mistaken right?
There’s no doubt that some people like to abuse faucets, but what these people don’t understand is Freebitco security measures have improved a lot over the years, and hence their faucet system cannot be easily abused. Furthermore Freebitco earns from mining, house edge, lottery tickets and that’s why they can keep their site free of ads, hence I believe that they have a strong revenue model in place.
Those rare who have a big balance, win, but most of the people often lose, but Freebitco profits are enormous. Therefore, the site has no ads on platform, it's clean and easy to use. But the main profit comes from Multiply BTC game. Free Bitcoin Wallet, Faucet, Lottery and Dice!
