Be careful if you find some websites that offer free Bitcoin, including several services that offer cloud mining, because most (though not all) of these services are scams.
Some information you can read to be more aware of potential scams:

Also, read the risks related to faucets, some of the links of which were included by the OP at the start of the thread.
You can still own Bitcoin, among other things, by buying at an exchange or directly through P2P trading. However, be careful and choose an exchange or individual that has a good reputation before you make a transaction.
Some exchanges that you might consider can be seen at:
