As a faucet user I wanted to put up a post and hopefully I can get some clarification and some answers from both faucet users/owners and the admin of faucetbox. I am not a faucet owner and am in no way affiliated with any either.
There's a few things I have noticed when using various faucets over the last year or so. I have seen all kind of underhand tactics from faucet owners that I don't believe is good at all.
1) Hiding claim buttons/ having fake claim buttons or disguising them to trick users into clicking on adds.
i see this over and over again. Where is the logic in this? Less people will claim a prize but if it takes a user longer to find a claim button or they are tricked with false claim buttons, I for one will find the correct claim button click on it and not click any adds because of the time that has been wasted finding the claim button. I also will not continue to support the faucet. Its counter productive and sleazy to do this.
2) Using unfavourable time consuming captcha for the user.
As user I find it really frustrating when I have to wait 30 seconds for each faucet to complete captcha. This coupled with the really annoying 'are you human captcha where you have to put the basketball through the hoop or the tools in the toolbox. Its not the process of completing the captcha that is the problem for me, its how long it takes for it to register. I have had countless captcha thrown back at me saying 'incorrect captcha'. The only way to reduce this is to wait 20-30 seconds after I have completed captcha and it still fails 25% of the time here also. Again any faucet which wastes my time like this. I do not click adds. So YOU LOSE.
3) Faucets that do not indicate they are insufficient in funds.
Again very annoying to complete a captcha only to find insufficient funds, where is does not indicate when first visiting the faucet. Really annoying especially when you've had about 3 incorrect captcha's thrown back at you before hand when you have indeed entered it correctly. Obviously faucet owners do this so that they get free clicks and don't have to pay out claims.
When is it going to be understood that the more time you waste of the faucet users the more likely that less adds will be clicked and they probably won't support your faucet anymore in the process. Greed will get you nowhere in the long term, it just gives faucets a bad rep.
When I visit a faucet and everything is simply laid out I will click 3 maybe 4 adds because that faucet owner is honest and they deserve all that support. They will be able to pay higher payments to users and will be the preferred choice for users to visit. Win/win for the user/owner.
My recommendation to faucetbox owner... demonstrate a high standard and don't let any of these 'greedy and scammy faucets' on your payment system in the first place. Faucetbox will then be known for its integrity and users will trust that any faucet you have on your books are legitimate. Faucets that use any kind of misleading and underhand tactics to trick the user should be banned.
This faucet (which is a direct link, not a referral) pays high and makes things quick and easy for the user and in turn they pay well too. A great example to all other faucets out there.

Kind Regards,
Has a faucet owner I agree with you on alot of points but some I dont
1. All faucets should shouw the balance so no one click for nothing
2. getting fake get reward button should be gone
3. making people look for the claim button grr should be banished
I dont agree
1. faucet owners are allowed to use the captcha they want so u dont like it live with it I myself use solve media has they pay us ( but I agree fake wrong captcha wow this is ignorant scammers)
2. Has for captcha taking long time it can be ur net slow or the server is getting alot of traffic and by the way it takes at least a ggood 20 seconds for adsense to get good rpm so u either live witth it we also need the revenue to give some out and not adsense and most ads dont pay instant we have to wait for payments. remember we give u something for free stop complain on that side
2 Pople keep saying make ur faucet this way that way I click so many ads yeah right I had lots complain in support and when I check country no click from there so don't think we are idiots we know where traffic comes from and where we get the clicks analytics gives us all
Remember we give u those free coins u dont like it move on alot do click ads and they know more profit comes into the faucet the more we will give out we dont have to offer this free service but we do
