Freebitco has turned a lot of faucet users into gambler by displaying the "Multiply your bitcoins" pop-up message after each faucet roll. There were a lot of popular Bitcoin faucets in the past which was running the site by displaying Ads. Freebitco was doing the same thing, but they had discontinued the Ads by improving the betting section on the site. Freebitco was very much popular for faucet in the past, now it is more popular as a gambling site than faucet site.
That change was really important. With the time they have taken best course of action and it is evident from their success really. If they would have been faucet only, then their revenue would have collapsed a lot and then it could have stopped working by this time. I think adding more features to the site, slowly and steadily made it more visible. They adjusted their environment perfectly with the users need and that is why they are success today.
In fact we should be excited about any new releases that they might have and support the entire freebitco ecosystem. Just love they way they are working and upgrading.
