I think you wrote too many words for most people to read. People have short attention spans.

Your suggestions seem to be:

* give faucet to people only if they deposit

* give faucet to people only on Sunday

I don't think either helps. The faucet's primary purpose seems to be to attract new players and give them a way of testing the site before depositing.

If you require a deposit, or make them wait until Sunday, you probably lose them.

If you don't, then how do you prevent people farming it?

Basically there's no way of telling the difference between 100 curious newbies who might become good customers if you let them have a few free bits and a single botter who is cynically taking your bits with no intention of playing. So you're stuck with either eating the cost, or removing the faucet.

If I missed anything in your post, please point it out.
