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 casino.
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.
)
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.
Feel free to reach us on Live Support for more detail on this. We will gladly explain in detail all you wish to know.
Hope to talk to you soon!
Cheers all!
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.
