Tbh I don’t give a rat’s ass if they have been cheating the free rolls because the players also do cheat.

Not all players cheat. Casinos are supposed to be fair.

Really? One can tell you have no idea about gambling.

Nobody in their right mind would gamble at a casino with 5% house edge, when competitors offer a 1% house edge. This is a faucet, and people spent years clicking them.
By using this "random" number, they can easily manipulate it. All they have to do is reset the server seed once in a while. It's quite obvious they did it for the $200-winners, but unclear if they also did it for the $20 winners. Just a few resets every 10,000 rolls would be enough to reduce the total cost of their faucet (which is after all meant to get people hooked to gambling) by up to 90%. They couldn't do that with a fixed faucet amount.

Based on the odds, I would expect one $200 winner for every 2 $20 winners.
I did a (manual) count on pages 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 on Big wins at FreeBitco.in:
I just won $20 at FreeBitco.in! 116 times
I just won $200 at FreeBitco.in! 2 times
I probably miscounted a bit, but let's round it down: winning $200 is 50 times less likely than winning $20, and that makes the difference 25 12.5 times larger than it should be.

You know that such a small sample doesn't prove anything, don't you? Every day I see plays that have a 5% or less chance of happening.

I manually counted 10 pages. If you think my sample size is too small, feel free to count all 152 pages for a much larger sample size.

Math time!
118 rolls (and correcting my mistake from 2018):
1 number pays $200 for every 4 numbers that pay $20 (I'm ignoring all rolls other than the 2 highest winners).
Expected outcome: around 23.6 times $200, and 94.4 times $20.
Reality: 2 times $200, and 116 times $20.
What are the odds of this happening?
My statistical math is rusty so I'm taking shortcuts: let's say it took 59 rolls to hit $200.
Odds of hitting $20 at the first roll: 0.8
Odds of hitting $20 in the first 2 rolls: 0.8²=0.64
....
Odds of hitting $20 in the first 58 rolls: 0.8⁵⁸=0.00000239452. That's 0.000239% chance. Note that I ignored the other half of the counted rolls.
So, and correct me if my math is wrong: this doesn't have a 5% chance of happening, it's 20,000 times less! And this is exactly what I meant when I said the bad signs were there, but were massively ignored. The odds of this happening twice in a row are several orders of magnitude lower. Count the rest of the topic, and you'll see this pattern continues.
