Profitable yes. Worth it, no. Unless you can figure out a way to run bots to do all the work for you, its best to stay out of them .
Running them however might be worth it, if you can get a lot of traffic

It's not that hard to get traffic to be honest. In my experience, the more stable you are and the higher reward (obviously) equals more traffic.
On the first day of my faucets launch for example, we ended getting 50k visits. and the next for days totaled up to 500k+ ( 130k / day )

no they are not profitable

if they are not profitable then why they still operate, and why people still open them and even offer faucet creation as a service Huh

peoples are doing 100+ faucets per day...which means a lot of hard work...and peoples who opens faucets are generally getting the ad revienews

Yes using a faucet rotator, you can use 100 faucets per day and get 0.002 - 0.003 per day with hard work

OP is talking about running a faucet. Not about claiming faucets. But really do you think you could earn that much?

He is right there are about 30 faucets that i know of that pay min 500 satoshis per hour, using only those every hour you would get 15k satoshis, and as the other guy said people use even 100 so you could be getting 40-50k each hour if you went through all the faucets, doing it for 3-4 hours a day could earn you 0.002 wich is still not an incredible amount but it is something

Again, Astargath if you ever need help, I can help set up and teach you how to run it. For free of course. I used to offer this service but it was crazy popular and I couldn't focus on other things so I stopped it.
I might reopen it and say like 2 faucets / week or something.

Do you have anything to back that up? My faucet was profitable. And if the op wants I can walk him through setting his faucet up. ( If he wants )

Well that would be really helpful if you could help me with the payment system and such

A lot of people uses faucets to get bitcoins to gamble with them, you dont need a lot to gamble, 10.000 satoshis even is enough, other people probably use them to invest them somewhere else, in a month you can get 0.05 btc easily if you spend time on faucets each day

And how much time would that be ? Can easily take upto hours to make that amount

to make 0.05btc? hell no...its really hard getting money off faucet
10k sathoshi you can earn in about 10 - 15 mins depends how fast you click on faucets
but 0.05 is too much,you need lots of referrals and couple of other stuff!

I just feel faucets are waste of time, for people to get some btc to try out.
I really don't see why would people spend too much of their time on them.

If you spend as equal time posting for Bit-X you will 1.3 / month

Wow really? Dont they have like a post limit or something?

THere is a lof of differece between the faucets.
It's a little bit looking for those who give a bit more than most of them.
For a few sat. BTC i don't use them every hour.
But it's great when you see from time to time a small amount entering you wallet.
It depends on how much time you want to spend to got to the faucets, solve the captcha...
From time to time i like it.

Thats a good point. Most faucets pay from 100sat to 1.000 per hour. What if i make the faucet pay every 24 hours but a bigger amount like 5.000 satoshis maybe 10.000?

Well, my faucet paid 19200 satoshi / 24 hours. And that faucet did really well.

But your faucet didnt pay every 24 hours did it?

I think it was every 15 minutes. Not 24 hours.

If its every 15 minutes it didnt pay 19k per 24 hours since no one used it every 15 minutes for 24 hours, most likely it paid like 3-4k in a day
