\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 would rather risk their accounts by running automated scripts just for mere fractions of a cent.
Agreed, when there is free money, even if is a very low amount, you will have a lot of abusers. To be honest, this was a move that was always going to happen sooner or later as it is a good and effective way to limit the abuse. To become vip 2, you need to wager 3000$ which is not so easy to achieve also allthough you will probably still have people that will try to abuse the system.
I am not going to say the name of the place, but I remember one of the earliest casinos of crypto had a free faucet where you would claim 10k satoshis, which wasn't much at the time, considering bitcoin itself was like 100 bucks, and people literally abused it to a million pieces, they had to remove it. That shows that this type of abuse has been going on for 10+ years or so, it is not new and it was expected.
It's good that betfury stayed as long as they did, most places wouldn't even be able to stand this long, I enjoyed it when it lasted, but I think I will be getting it anyway with the rank and all, and the money I make from the staking itself is good enough to gamble without deposit anyway.
