Dooglus, see stunna's respone to my post re where the 4% came from.

I found it:

Claimed. We have an average roll over of about 4x the faucet amount before it is lost. Meaning when we give away money from the faucet the return to house is only 4%.

We like to say what is claimed from the faucet is basically withdrawn, minus 3 - 5% depending on variance.

What he's saying is that on average, faucet money is played through 4 times before it is withdrawn, and so the 1% house edge applies to it 4 times over, and so he gets 4 percent of it back.

What he didn't say is how many times on average player deposits are played through before they are withdrawn. That could be around 4 times as well, meaning that the house gets to keep 4% of the average deposit.

Math with always hold true. Human behavior will not. Hence the differing %'s imo.

There's no way to change the 1% house edge. The house expects to keep 1% of everything this is bet, whether you bet it quickly, slowly, carefully, recklessly, or with your eyes closed and your fingers crossed. If you play through a deposit 4 times then you expect to lose 4% of it. That's the 4% he's talking about.

So I straight up asked stunna for clarification.

Right, and it was a good question. What his answer is saying is that each day the faucet gives out around 3 BTC and of that amount around 96%, or 2.88 BTC is withdrawn. So it really is costing him pretty much 3 BTC per day - not just numbers in a database.
