\Or, BetFury has decreased their faucet budget

That is actually a joke. I doubt that there are many level 1 gamblers who have tried to abuse the system. It is so easy for security to check logs and connect similar IPs with account logins. If on level 2 you get 42 sat hourly or 1k daily, then how much do they get on level 1 ? Much less. It will take a lot of time to claim enough to pay numerous VPN subscriptions. After all, level 1 have FunFury faucet. They can still try luck in Fury Wheel.
You'd be surprised, many try to run automated scripts just for mere fractions of a cent.
