People have made all sorts of dubious claims since the site has started operating. Most of these claims have no backing and 99% of the time they were plausibly debunked, like your claims of the lottery being rigged.

The fact is when all these problems started happening, their Ethereum wallet alone contained over $130 million, enough to keep them solvent for a long time. This doesn’t even include their Bitcoin wallets, which were harder to track, but there was enough evidence to suggest they were holding millions of dollars in them as well.

There was more than enough runway to figure out how to make their faucet sustainable if this was really the issue. Instead of figuring things out, they have moved most of their funds to exchanges, manipulated the price of their token, and neglected their domain renewal.

Whatever reason there may be for this strange behavior, it’s easier to believe they are intentionally rugging despite having a successful business, or perhaps they overleveraged themselves while trading and siphoned off casino funds to try and cover their losses. Almost anything is more logical than thinking a faucet, which already had many anti-abuse mitigations, and took an eternity to reach minimum payout, was the cause of these problems.
