It has nothing to do with staff lmfao

Or you could increase support staff?

Use the BTC saved from the faucet removal and change it to a rebate on the house edge of bets. That would be pretty awesome. No matter what perk you give to high levels unless it's entirely cosmetic people are going to farm it anyway, so...yeah, lol.

Also, maybe start showing levels next to names in chat? That'd be awesome!

(And give everyone the perk to hide their level (if you do that) and block PMs. That'd be useful too, especially for High Rollers.)

Removing faucets will be a bad idea.

Well if the faucet gets removed i'm guessing the original meaning for levels is lost.

*If PD wants to concentrate on mainly big rollers i'm guessing a progressive house edge could work or at least it would be rather unique. The higher your level the smaller the house edge, like remove a % of the house edge per level ? Something along those lines.

*Maybe it could also be implemented into the support system. So the higher your level the higher the priority on support ticket list (critical ones would still be same for every user). I assume it could be something to consider at least.

Other than that it seems nothing but bragging rights.

I personally feel faucet is one of the biggest success parts for PD. It kept the activity up, lured in players to deposit. The site wouldn't feel quite right without it.
Because lets be honest, there is a reason why many big players started trying other sites. Constant downtime for the longest time, slow betting, broken auto-bet, broken chat. It seemed faucet activity seemed to be helping it all to stick together. Faucet can drain a rather substantial amount i am sure and it seem's to have done its part and in the current market with less competition. But who knows.

In the end its is up to you.

Well as I said:  




Biggest issues in my eyes


1. Receiving tips have no requirements so when HRs are playing they spam them on chat/PMs also people can easily bank .0005 won from faucet over and over until they wanna cash out

2. People leech and grow faucet without ever depositing.

3. Chat spam for faucet levels or "rain"

If you add requirements to receive tips it gets rid of a lot of the horde of beggars that never really chat and just leech faucet. Or simply spam every now and then to raise XP; usually when HRs are on. The tip requirement would also mean no constant .0005 banking of just faucet wins, its outrageous that non depositors get to do that and have won huge amounts like that.

Hell someone said they earn $1.2 an hour with faucet, bit sad but still thats pretty outrageous since they never actually deposit and play anything.

Compare it to a casino (derp) they have members club points where regular players get bonuses for every X amount of money wagered. They also have an initial free $5 or so for new sign ups.

It's basically the faucet, its meant for new users to test the site and have a small chance to win something out of nothing. Then bring in actual players to play regularly whilst getting a little bonus for being a frequent player.

3 birds with one stone. 


Or simply remove tip function, reduce faucet to 250-500 sats fro newbies and 1k faucet for regulars every 10+minutes, osrta reverting back to PD2 style. 

I fully support the demolition of the faucet because it brings down the quality level of the chat. There are plenty of dedicated faucet sites that you can easily find on the Internet. Hint: Google.com.

Well as I said: 

In my honest opinion, the faucet is more of a curse than a blessing. The amount of issues it has caused has been substantial, not just on the support email front but in chat too, and over such insignificant amounts. By adding a faucet it effectively brought in a new demographic of people in - not players - people in, and those are the people who spend 5 hours a day scavenging at faucet sites to bring home 0.0001 BTC each day. Why they do that? No idea, but to most of them PD is just another faucet site.

I'm not saying all faucet users are bad, I do use the faucet for some "yolo" bets (I guess) every once in a while and so do some others, but the problem with bringing in that demographic is that 75% of those people will throw a temper tantrum if they don't get their dust successfully. It is one of the peculiar phenomena created by the Bitcoin community.

With that in mind, here are my personal suggestions:

a) You could just remove faucet. There would probably be a loss in users but the vast majority of those users would just leech the faucet anyway;

b) Keep the faucet as a promotion which is activated and deactivated by admins; (Implement an admin command which flicks a Boolean which allows faucet to be claimed)

c) Make it so you unlock 1 faucet use every x amount wagered.

a) has obvious benefits.

b) will still have the same problems as before but it will be MUCH more manageable.

c) will still have some problems of people complaining but it will be more manageable and faucet farming/abusing will basically be eradicated.

People would still send emails to regular support email even if they would have dedicated email .

But they could just have automated response when faucet is mentioned in email to say like : "Sorry we don't do support on faucet etc..." . Or have somebody to check for that emails mark them as read or reply, so support doesn't have to go through them.

But i think we should give suggestions on removing faucet. Emails are not the only problem with it. There is also a big cost of running it.



Maybe also give higher affiliate commission to higher level players.

How about volunteers for faucet issue related problems and a separate support email for faucet run by those volunteers. similar to mods for the chatroom. I really like the faucet and it gives me that extra motivation to make a deposit.

Yeah you are right, i misunderstood that message. Im sorry, and thanks for correcting me I still stand to my opinion, i would be happy if they can keep the faucet. I wish i could help somehow....

Well tbh removing it all completely would make the site no different from the rest. The level/faucet update was the main attraction for frequent gamblers. I agree it attracted too many free loaders but there could be a system placed to avoid non depositors abusing faucet or accounts that been sold purely for its faucet level.

Few ideas:

1. Make a secondary balance on an account made for faucet plays. Make it only withdraw-able after getting to $x  not x btc that way you dont lose a lot of cash if it is reached with a requirement of 1 BTC gambled to withdraw $x amount of faucet wins. Most would bust with greed if you raise it and add that requirement.

2. Another idea I emailed was adding offers to unlock faucet a few items a day as long as you played $x/Xbtc such day through your own deposit. Making the faucet random as well with chance to get higher amounts based on levels + total wagered, every time they win a high amount x LVLs is lost making so that people will HAVE TO DEPOSIT AND PLAY again to have better chance to obtain higher faucet. Basically like a reset.

3. Or simply make weekly levels that reset on Sunday. That way to obtain faucet whether random amounts or constant as it currently is is only obtainable if you actually deposit and play frequently.


I do admit incorporating such things might be a pain and a bit of cost but I think something like the last two ideas would benefit everyone. Completely removing chat messages for XP should've been done already, as well as creating requirements to receive tips.

Depositing enables the faucet for a certain (scale with level ?) time.
What do you guys think about my idea ?

From my personal understanding on Stunna's post, he did ask for our opinions on removing the faucet system.

I would use lvl 40 to give players VIP tags.
And to give access to vip chatroom.

 Many high rollers don't come to chat coz of instant begging. We don't allow it on chat but they beg them on pm and they don't want to bother sending us ss of that pm.

I'd have never come bet on the site if not for the faucet, and I'm down .125 or something on there, so it's been a good investment on me 

Stunna has asked for ideas for level system, and didn't ask if the faucet should stay or not. I think he knows how many people are using it, so he has an idea how many would vote for keeping it He needs solutions, so support will be better. As is said in my previous post, im willing to help support mails regarding the faucet, unfortunately i have no idea what the level system should be used for...

I agree this.
Faucet must stay.

I agree. I sometimes wager 50+ BTC on a single day and most other days I spend just having fun on faucet and chatting. I think faucet should stay.
