The problems date back almost a year. Haven't you seen wetsuit's trust feedback nor the active flag against him?

They date from the end of May, but the problems had been going on for a long time, what happens is that with the previous good reputation they had, you always think that if there is a problem, it will be a temporary thing that they will solve. Since then the site is still working with problems, and as there are many people like you who despite the problems were still using it, whoever is in charge seems to have decided some time ago that it is not worth the effort because they make money anyway.

I understand. I became aware of these issues much later. I wasn’t paying close attention until August 2024, and even then, I only started investigating seriously in October 2024, long after the WOF went down. I’ve seen more erratic problems popping up, but they often seemed resolved within days. At the time, I assumed the team was struggling with the disastrous profit scheme tied to the FUN token. If it wasn't a scam, it was at least an ill-conceived gamble that blew up in their faces.

My stance stayed neutral long enough. Then, less so. With no clear proof of an exit scam, I kept testing whether the site could still function. Even now, if support replies, it would be nice, but also misleading as empty replies won’t save a sinking ship.

And sure, you’d think if they were going down, they’d at least notify the users, right? I mean, even the shadiest exchanges in the past put clearer signs or made half-hearted efforts. So here we are. I’m not trying to slap a scam label or make a panic thread, just to track what’s actually happening and, of course, that would serve as awareness to anyone. If whoever is in charge clearly stopped caring about their reputation or damage control.

Let’s see where this ends.

This post serves as an updated 2025 warning for anyone researching the site FreeBitco.in. We’re unsure whether the platform is planning an exit scam or facing other issues, but this thread is intended for tracking issues until the site either addresses concerns or confirms suspicions.

I’ve had minor issues in the past, like instant withdrawals taking exactly 6 hours (the same as slow withdrawals), and the site went offline for a period not long ago.

Despite these hiccups, FreeBitco.in functioned properly for me until January 20, 2025. In late 2024, I even cashed out over 100K Reward Points (RP) without problems, so things seemed stable. For context: I’m a VIP member with significant FUN tokens locked in, was highly active in prior years, and have let the site rest from time to time in large periods of time.

Frankly, I don't care about the FUN tokens. My concern is the erosion of trust in a faucet that operated ok for so many years until 2024.

Currently, I have two withdrawals stuck in "pending payout" status, with the numbers in blue. I’ll use this thread to share updates on whether these issues resolve or worsen from my perspective.

If you’ve experienced similar problems, post your observations here so we can monitor the situation together.
