As Primedice3 opening days are coming to a close the faucet is soon going to be decreased a bit. It is currently giving out over 3 BTC a day which is a lot higher than we expected. This is mainly due to abuse.

This is really sad. So sorry you are paying 3 BTC a day out via the faucet. That is clearly unsustainable. It seems you had a similar problem on PD2 and solved it with the whitelist. Maybe something similar would help here?

I also agree with GaleMartins, it is easy to abuse your current arrangement. (I don't abuse it but I can understand the temptation.) You can either have free in game transfers (tips) or faucet. With both PD3 is open to abuse no matter what you set the faucet level at as using the methods GM described you can still abuse it - it just becomes a matter of time.

I strongly agree with the idea that you should set clear expectations for how you'd like to see the faucet used in the FAQ or somewhere. That would make it easy for the community of players to call people out whom they think are abusing the faucet. Is it okay for me to chat and play the faucet? (I hope this is yes.) Is it okay for me to set up a "bank" user account and send my faucet winnings to it for eventual withdrawal? (This seems like a no to me.)

I also think the faucet serves a useful marketing purpose as people play it while they hang out and chat. Since that is what I often do, I wish there was a way to preserve that while still ending the abuse.

Maybe there is a solution in the whole deposit, withdrawal limit, chat activity (coupled with solid moderation), no proxies, and IP limits or something like that. Of course, I guess lowering the faucet is a lot easier....

Thanks for a great gambling site!

I agree a lot with him^

If faucet goes down a lot I probably won't play anymore, 80% of the time I'm there it's because I've built my faucet up enough to have a chance at winning a little bit but...
That's lame that it's been 3 btc/ day on faucet I would expect maybe one btc a day. If you have to change it otherwise you're losing money, then you have to change it that's understandable.

But at the same time...

It's kinda like... there's not really any possible way to abuse faucet. You have it set to one minute /redeem and you built the site and achievements to allow the faucet to go up to 10K, (this was very appealing to me and I've been spending a lot of time and what BTC I have here to try and build it up to that) and you changed the minimum tip to .0005 which is the same as withdrawing. So when people are tipping .0005 to their other accounts (which I have yet to seen a mod or admin state you can not do this) its practically the same as cashing out, except you save yourself the transaction fee (which needs to be paid when transacting no matter what Tongue

).

TL;DR: The way you have it set up and rules, there's no such thing as faucet abuse so it does kinda bother me that you say that people are abusing it, and that's why you're lowering it....
