Yeah, it is insane to think that they have added betting on top of everything else. I mean we are talking about a place that was basically filled with faucet first, there was ads everywhere and they charged a lot because it was one of the most visited crypto places in the world (not it is even one of the most visited all websites and not just crypto) and right now it is getting really really awesome, we are talking about a place that was already awesome in the first year and right now there is even 10x better version here with all the additions. Kudos to wetsuit man, he is definitely awesome for building something like this.
I haven't really seen any addition to here that wasn't liked by the people, whatever you guys did was well received and gets so much attention.
I actually never remember any ads on this site, so I guess that must have been before 2016 or 2017 (can't remember when I opened my account on FBC). But even the faucet only days before I deposited I really don't even remember captcha except on occassion.
So for me, except for Golden Tickets, and daily wagers and the sports/events betting, the site actually hasn't changed much at all (and that's a good thing!).
Freebitco was one of the most famous website in bitcoin's history back in 2016. It was so famous that articles written via banks were suggesting freebitco as a one major way to earn bitcoin. Btw yeah, there was some ads on website but it wasn't much, everything was pretty normal, I would even say that they didn't have much ads and also want to mention that along with adsense (if I remember correctly), you could buy ads on their website via bitcoins and it was cheap.
Freebitco did the right things in last 1-2 years, they understood that faucet business was dying but at the same time they wanted to stay alive and even more on market. They changed their visions, integrated very beneficial things for themselves, had good amount of money and in order to collect more, offered people profit on investments.
Soon we will see sports betting on freebitco, blog and even more
