I think the faucets will pretty soon be a thing of the past. Basically the faucet was invented to try out Bitcoin without having to go thru the hassle of buying it or mining it. And the purpose of the faucet with a gambling site was to try out the site or the type of game before actually going thru the hassle of doing a deposit. Because if someone didn't like dice, or the speed of the site, or the features of the site it would be annoying having to make a deposit, pay a miner fee, and then the site would have to pay another fee for the withdraw. Hence why the faucet was invented.

However as 2017 rolled around, there was massive amounts of abuse with the faucets. Basically I think it was like 0.1% or so that abused it but they took 99% of all the faucet payouts and the site had no other choice but to disable it. Because those faucet abusers almost never made a deposit and contributed nothing to the gambling website.

Hence why you will see more and more sites use tokens or some type of demo play to test out the site. Since it was becoming very troublesome and took too much man hours to sort thru all those withdraw requests which were purely out of faucet earnings.

It is easy to counter faucet abusers.

Put a 5 min cooldown and reduce the amount to 1 satoshi. If this is not going to suffice, just cancel any withdrawal requests if the player didn't deposit any coins from his own pocket. (this is a bit extreme but its a valid option)

The faucet ,as you said, is there for you to try the casino, nothing else.


If i recall correctly both Primedice and Stake won't allow faucet farmers withdrawing without making a first deposit into their account for safety reasons and abuse prevention as stated.

I just do not know if that is still a thing currently.

I agree, many people prefer the faucet. Yes, there might be other taking advantage of the service at the moment but this can easily be regulated. Plus, if the casino owners want people to get to trust them then isn't it only fair that the casino owners trust their potential customers by providing the faucet? Its a 2 way relationsiph and I think it is important to maintain it too.

After what rates and chat stop, play not perhaps .


it happens randomly to me as well , guess it the update thing that gone wrong
or maybe it is Firefox related , since I'm using firefox and it behaves erratically when I play dice
my chat would freeze after some period of time, randomly and I get network errors
ah and when I leave it to its own devices the stake's page  manages to hog 5-8 gigabytes of RAM somehow
hope it is going to get fixed soon since I do not fancy changing my browser ,besides, Chrome users report it as well

I have seen this come up before but after doing what the owner said to do from the last major update it had not returned.
I posted on how to resolve the issues with you particular browser. If it does not help then it is some another lying issue.

Tried to play Mines on the site from mobile version and the game is not getting displayed properly. Any ideas to fix this issue?
https://i.imgur.com/BNrlXFo_d.jpg
Other games are working fine and is getting displayed properly.
Never faced similar issue before while playing on the mobile version but sometime the graphic of the game is gone when my internet connection is bad. So lets say I play a game, it was fine at the start but the image/graphic of the game is gone (turn to blank like what is shown on your screenshot. Afaik it is due to unstable internet connection, what I ussually do to fix it is by reloading the page.
Doesn't seems like the case since other games are loading properly with the same internet connection and this visual error still persists in mines no matter how many times I open and fix my cache.

Will try using a different browser. Hopes that changing browser might work.
During the last site wide update of the site Thursday I think it was done most people had issues with the site doing consecutive bets using the autobet option And some error on the screen being displayed.
Eddie the site owner on stake said to fix the problem do a hard refresh on the browser you are using.
Most of the issues still happened using the chrome browser.
He suggested using this method to do a hard refresh. https://www.getfilecloud.com/blog/2015/03/tech-tip-how-to-do-hard-refresh-in-browsers/#.XRcprZNKhTY)
I did the F12 then the left click on the refresh circled arrow on the top left of the task bar on my chrome browser to bring up the available option.
just open the Chrome Dev Tools by pressing F12. Once the chrome dev tools are open, just right click on the refresh button and a menu will drop down. This menu gives you the option of doing a hard refresh, or even clearing the cache and do a hard refresh automatically.
Everything starting working normally again after that.

Calm down guys, you do not have to go into this philosophical discussion about what faucets bring to the table and how important they are etc etc. I am sure it is just a glitch and they are working on it and soon they will fix it. If they came out and said that they are no longer giving away faucets than I would have understand but symphonized even said maybe its a temporary thing and asked you to send a ticket.

I checked myself and I got ethereum faucet so it doesn't seem to be working the same for everyone but I couldn't get bitcoin neither so I assume some of it is more global. Lets wait and give them some time to breath and work on it and I am sure they will be capable of fixing it very soon. Who knows maybe we came in just as their faucet hot wallet got emptied and they will just refill and finish the job.

The faucet can be disabled for any reason (maintenance etc) but the there should be announcement of it on stake.com to avoid unnecessary rumours.
If they plan to shut the faucet there is nothing wrong as it was created initially for awareness and to test and the platform, they are giving away coins for active users and to participate in their activities and it is the best promotion if you are visiting the site to gamble and since they are established they do not need collectors who are active in the site to collect the free coins  Tongue. I might be wrong as i have not participated in any freebies but spent some time in stake when i was active in their campaign and since i usually do not post much for the minimum withdraw amount i usually spent time with some of the games and it was fun.

I think I've missed something, but since when faucets are disable? I've just got "The faucet has been disabled" messege.


Hey there. Actually, you can still claim faucet, but only in Doge coin. I cannot state for sure, but I guess the faucet feature will be completely disabled in the future.

Also, if you have some questions or doubts, you may always contact us on the Support chat or email. We'll be happy to help and explain everything. Smiley Take care!

Hey there. Just checked - fauced worked with doge. Gave me 0.00000500 doge Smiley

Strange that it only works with doge.

I could not test the faucet with doge because i have balance in doge and faucet only works if you have zero balance. However to check, i did try bitcoin faucet and it says that the faucet is disabled. The faucet can be disabled for any reason (maintenance etc) but the there should be announcement of it on stake.com to avoid unnecessary rumours.

Disabling the faucet completely is not a good move at all since many newbie gamblers will probably check out alternative sites which offer faucets. I thought this was some temporary problem, but looks like I was wrong.

Stake seems do be doing really well currently and I don't see why you guys felt the need to disable the faucet permanently. Bad move. I do hope that you guys reconsider this since this can affect the site in a negative way.

I get your point, but there is something you should understand: we are not a "faucet site", but an online casinoSmiley

Faucet is mainly there for testing purposes and to have some amount to play with between the deposits. Of course, it is not necessary to deposit at all if you don't want to, you can play only from funds you got from tips, rains, etc. as well and be able to withdraw them once you meet certain minimum amount for a cashout. (If you are interested on the specifics on this, check the withdrawal page or contact us on Live Support. Smiley )

Now, about the promotions and giveaways, you could check this page to get a grasp of what are some of the things that we offer on the site: https://stake.com/player-benefits. Besides that, there are many more giveaways such as the forum ones, Telegram, discord, Twitter, Facebook, races, rains, and so on and so forth. We try to have some daily chat games such as trivia/roll hunts, so come and join us. Smiley Feel free to reach us on Live Support for more detail on this. Smiley We will gladly explain in detail all you wish to know.

Hope to talk to you soon! Smiley Cheers all!

Very risky abd very low chabce of winninv but he still lucky because they won more bitcoins. But If they lose I don't imagine what I feel I lost more bitcoins.  But sometimes taking high risk is getting a high and good result just like the gambling.  I don't bet 2 bitcoin in one play only I think it's enough for me to play $10 each play but does not amount of bitcoin.
There are many whales who play in primedice and stake who wage with huge amount of coins and it is like that since its inception and so is the reason they are successful as they are able to attract whales and the freebies they give out to the rest of the users who rarely wage huge amounts is simply because they wanted to maintain the traffic and they are doing a good job to attract huge rollers, so don't be surprised if you see some users rolling hundreds of coins .

I just tried the faucet, after reading your message, and i can confirm that it's not working now... same message: "The faucet has been disabled".

I'm not sure if this is a temporary stop, or if stake's team decided to permanently disable it.

Hum it can be temporarily, have you contacted Support about it?


💰 This is a HUGE win and it definitely took courage to put 2 Bitcoin down on a 4.56x multiplier!
Retweet this post and tell us what you'd do if you won this bet.
Best comment wins $10 in a crypto of your choice!
The winner will be sent a DM so no need to post Stake names!

I cant fully agree if disabling faucet can affect the site negatively. The faucet amount is just so small amount while users can earn much more through the rainbot, challenge, forum rewards, and many other promotions. Real gamblers wont really care about faucet in general imho so I think it is OK to remove the faucet.
Maybe they're spending so much on faucets that it's reducing their profits and those amounts could be spent on something better (ads contests,etc) . I also think it's reasonable for them to remove the faucet because the main reason for it is to play without a deposit and we can still do it since they don't have a minimum amount in all of their games. With that said, their faucet becomes a bonus and unncessary.

Those are not the reasons, the reasons are simple so people that want's to try out the site and those who want a quick free balance for their bets can try out our Forum instead and grab some satoshis from Pay per Post.
Then you will be able to transfer your forum balance to the Casino and do all the bets you want.

Faucet was also disabled due to the new update so they are most likely preparing something.
Only the devs know at the moment Wink
