Faucets I agree, open to abusers, but it is tried and tested to get new users as well. It doesn't have to be much at all, and can be limited, like the way BitDice and others do. Give enough fun for users, but restrict ability of people to abuse it. why not?
I do not say that I do not want to get those but what is really important is the first impression which attract players to come to your site and play. The house edge and speed is the second matter, after you have enough players you will be soon increasing your speed or may be even lowered the house edge of course
Btw what do you mean about the restriction? I think most of site have their own rules about the faucet abuser
What I meant about restriction is, like you said actually. Most sites have their own rules about faucet abuse and this is good. Faucet's are to let people test out the site and have fun, maybe while waiting for deposits to confirm or whatever. But have rules to restrict the ability of faucet abuse.
This is why I said faucet is good. But you were saying faucet is bad because of abuse. But if you have rules, you restrict abuse. So why not have faucets?
Let say this way, firat you have faucet and you have rules here. But when you are not letting players withdraw on their winning with faucet your site will be called a scam site. The second condition, most of the site never told you that you are abusing the faucet but when its time ti withdraw, they will say that you are abusing it and confisticate your withdrawing. I would say better is not having any faucet then
