I'm surprised that there are scam faucets when the payout is very small and you will have to work for a long period of time, thank for posting this for newbies I'm not into any faucets anymore, it's newbie stuffs or those who just want to start in cryptocurrency.

I'm surprised that they are this cheap - the time that they took to actually respond to your emails in such depth is probably worth much more than the 40k satoshis that you are requesting here.

I don't think that it's a good idea at all to faucet due to the lack of rewards for your time, but if you do, Google Play is a terrible way to start. The faucet ads on there usually target newbies, and since they hold all of your funds, it is entirely up to them to pay you out and there is no third party to keep them honest.

If you do want to continue to use these faucets, make sure that you are doing so through a legitimate third party micropayment processor. The one that I heard about a while back was faucethub, though I'm not entirely sure whether they are still up and running. By using official faucet lists from these sites you significantly reduce the risk of getting scammed (still not 100% foolproof, though).

IKR, they even have the audacity to respond to the reviews (enjoy your popcorn while reading). I'm actually wondering what's Google doing to handle this since they're still up even after flagging them.

I'm aware that faucets are pretty much a waste of time, but being employed means I'm pretty much restricted to faucets since I'm often using my cellphone and therefore, other options such as bounty and GPT are not viable. In addition, I'm looking forward to joining a signature campaign but slots are very limited and don't favor Members much.

Regarding your statement on the Play faucets, doesn't the same thing apply to web ones too? The owner(s) could still choose to pay or not, and unlike websites, at least the apps could be removed by Google.

Faucethub is still running as I just accessed it recently. No worries though, I rotate between my small list of faucets (FBC, Cointiply, etc...) which have paid me at least once. Not keen on having too many Smiley

I don't remember seeing scam accusation against faucet although I have seen many scam faucets during time I wasted in micro earnings.
You can report them to google and ask them to remove both faucets.

Update:

I noticed ad sense on both faucets. IIRC google banned faucets in late 2016. so this should be good indicator that something is wrong.

I know it's kinda rare but I'm actually surprised that Google did nothing to ban these kind of things. Have done my part in reporting and after posting the review, the developer just responded with the usual "You broke our rules, too bad" template.

AdSense? Good eye  Wink

WARNING: Pardon the image-heaviness. I had to get this message across because there are many still unaware of their modus operandi.

Apologies if I posted in the incorrect section but there's no other appropriate subforum for warning users on some scammy Bitcoin faucet.

So some you might have come across these two Android Bitcoin faucets, The Bitcoin Wheel and Claim Free Bitcoin. Both look pretty neat and the developer (JPLabs/ ClaimBitcoinNetwork) even have a website.


At a glance, the ways to earn Bitcoins are interesting; you get 3 tries to snag up to 100+ Satoshi every 15 minutes. Plus, they recently implemented some Hi-Lo and hourly online faucet.


All seems good until you reach the minimum payout amount; 40K Sats for direct Bitcoin wallets. Payments are so-called processed every Friday and you'll be greeted with a sweet ban upon your first payment. What a way to end the weekdays!


So here's the whole conversation between me and the developer via email moments after the post-work surprise:

Same excuse of using adblocker, when my phone wasn't even rooted to begin with.

I replied that I was willing to send evidences to prove I don't have any installed. Suddenly, they diverted to an alternative resolution.

Unban in exchange of not being able to claim first payment, and another chance to get re-banned? No thank you.


Reviews don't lie, even on NetBusinessRating. The majority are posting similar responses too:


Therefore if you're still using or planning to download these things, flag them on the Play Store or uninstall them immediately! You're being used as a free labor, just like the rest of us. Really a shame such decent faucets are run by some crook.
