In this discussion lets not forget the difference between a faucet website and gambling faucet, faucet websites purpose is to give people money and meanwhile make money from advertisement, that way they are making 3 satoshi for each 1 satoshi they give you, if you click on news even better. Gambling faucets are different and the purpose is to give you a taste of the game.

However, one thing I noticed on both stake and the partner primedice is that their promotions are usually different from each other, like faucet numbers are different, rewards are different basically they have like totally different marketing from each other.

I understand they are definitely two different websites but I was thinking since they owned by same people the marketing would be same as well but they are definitely not. It is a good thing, stake is literally making a name for itself and getting bigger without getting help from using the name primedice, they could have just said "we are the casino version of primedice so we are good" and get customers but they made stake.com huge all in itself.

Yeah, I'm glad you noticed that. The team has worked hard to keep the experiences and communities separate instead of just cannibalizing the PD audience. Our goal is really just providing two unique experiences and with upcoming updates we hope to make that even more clear.

The idea is still the same if you look at the dollar value. Back in the day I have collected about 6 bitcoins from faucets but that didn't worth anything at all, probably less than 50 cents total

As you say yourself, it is not worth it

Simply because you can just buy this dollar amount of bitcoins and forget about them for a couple of years instead of spending a whole month of your life wasting your time and effort. Other than that, with sites like freebitco.in you can in fact get much more than that up to a point of earning decent income and making living off it, but it still requires a lot of effort (e.g. via recruiting enough referrals). The bottom line is that there's no free lunch if only through luck. But if you want to test your luck, you are in the right thread already and don't need to go elsewhere

It means if you work hard enough on faucet websites (not casinos that give our free gambling money but literally faucet websites like freebitco.in or whatever) you can still get 50 cents in a whole months work. That is not really enough to say it worth anything at all. The only difference between those two is that that 6 bitcoin I collected at the time worth around 20 thousand dollars right now whereas the faucet you can collect right now is still small.

For the website the outcome is the same, they get paid in dollars for ads and they pay out in small dollar value bitcoins, no matter how much bitcoin is. Gambling faucets are different than other faucets, other faucets used to mean you get small amount of bitcoin for clicking things but gambling faucets have always been there so you play in the casino and eventually deposit money in there.

Faucet last few years ago the payout is big because price before is very low but because the value of this coin up of course the number of satoshi is decreasing it's always opposite. Other players will abuse and that is unfair to other player who fair. But for now faucet is not good source of getting bitcoin and ethereum because the payout for me is very low.

don't bother too much with the amount of faucets from gambling sites because it was not design to earn money indeed several years ago people can starting gambling use faucet and if they luck then they can cashout the money but currently with faucet less than 10 satoshi don't expect more about that

It still exists in Stake, it is announced on Twitter from time to time, but obviously the amount of coins is smaller.

it exists but I think the last time I saw it was a year ago
used to be way more often, but Stake and Primedice have many other promotions to take advantage of
I like the Stake's challenges, although do not have patience to complete them as of late

Years back faucets were a good source for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I've been into faucets during the early days of bitcoin, recently when I checked for the same the domain is for sale. Gambling houses provide with faucets, but as mentioned in the above quote the time spend isn't worth it. What we earned through faucets years back is truly a big one considering the present value of bitcoin.

Nowadays it is still still good actually, you can convert it to your own currency and see if past years will have exactly the same amount or not, when bitcoin price is on the lowest which is below $100, I believe they are giving you very huge amount of faucet and even some of them do not ban it but currently when the price is soaring(actually steep). So I can say it just no difference with past years, as long as they abused it, then they will get banned for sure

In value from our fiat yes I agree they just adjusted it to the same value, the intention still the same allow people to use the faucets and try the service and enjoy for a moment, after that time to decide, the problem with some players their intentions is not the same they wanted to use the faucets to earn cash to the point of abusing it in any way that they can.

At early days of primedice you got random name whenever you gambled so I remember people literally refreshing the page trying the faucet on something like x100 or whatever it was, if it didn't win retrying again and again and again until it won.
That was a way of making money daily and considering a bot could do that probably 50+ times in a minute there was a big chance of making a decent amount of money per hour, I remember someone made over 2 bitcoins that way for a whole month or two and then primedice introduced better defense mechanism to prevent those

I remember those days too

Though not in the way you remember them. I recall Stunna announcing something like an increased free bonus here, on the forum, then you waited patiently the moment it started. It lasted only about five minutes or so (if my memory serves me right), but If you were lucky, you could claim it a few times. That is, you first claimed it, then bet with x100 multiplier. If you lost, you could try to claim the bonus again and play with it one more time. It was kinda official and legal back in the day

the bonus in question was called Happy hour

during this period of time, exactly an hour in most cases, you got an increased faucet
sometimes even up to 10.000 or more satoshis and the minimum tip was 50k satoshi
so people were happily claiming faucets and the chat went semi dead for the moment, haha
good times

There is always a control on how to combat abuse, sites now are stronger with their internal control.
Way back, it's very profitable but now it's not anymore and there are also a lot of ways to earn coins online than faucet but it cannot be eliminated
as part of the feature in a gambling site because somehow it also attract gamblers.

Also is historical. I mean primedice even on early days had faucets, it was definitely different at those times, people literally wrote bots that gambled on dice with faucet income and retried whenever the faucet didn't win.

Now, that is not possible but its not because primedice or stake its because people who abused the faucet, they are the cause of faucets being this way.

Only those who have no other better thing to do will do this, claiming faucet then bet x200 to reach 0.0002ETH which is only able to pay the withdrawal fee? Indeed someone may it once if he do it continuously but it wont worth his time as he will earn nothing once he hit x200. Even if someone able to manage to abuse the faucet by claiming all the time then he may not able to withdraw it because usually gambling sites wont allow withdrawal by faucet abusers.

What we earned through faucets years back is truly a big one considering the present value of bitcoin.

Faucets are not a source of income to begin with. If you think "playing with faucet doesn't worth it" you are right. Casinos like stake.com do not give out faucets so you can get free money. They are not a charity, they are a casino. The purpose of faucet is for you to test the games out and see if you like them or not. If you test it with the faucet you suppose to like the game so much and get addicted that you deposit money into it and play for real as well. That is what the faucet is for, nothing else

I can't quite agree with you

Well, actually, I agree with you that faucets are not a source of income, but neither are casinos, let's be honest here. If anything, it is casinos which should be used for fun and entertainment purposes only. With that said, though, I read somewhere around here that early faucets had been paying whole bitcoins in 2010-2011, so it in fact remains to be seen whether they can't be used as a source of income provided you are patient enough to wait a few (dozen) years

Yes one of the very first bitcoin faucets actually gave you an entire BTC. All you had to do was post your BTC address. You wanted another BTC, you just had to wait 24 hours or just power-cycle your ISP router to get a new IP. However it actually wasn't worth the effort because BTC had little value then.

The point of the faucet was to get people introduced to Bitcoin who didn't want to spend their time mining it with their CPUs hoping to hit a block. It wasn't as a source of income, it was to generate interest and hope that the idea caught on, and it did.

This is why casinos still use faucets. Its basically so you can test out the site without having to go thru the hassle of making a deposit, however its not meant to be used as a form of income.

Hey Stunna, or any mods of Stake,

I noticed that on your site homepage, you show blackjack as a 0,5% house edge game. In the rules however, you tell us that the game has a 0,4% house edge. Firstly: this is a discrepancy.
Secondly, I used the (wizzardofodds tool) to calculate that the actual edge is 0,6%. Why do you choose to show wrong information? 0,1% or 0,2% might not seem like much, but compared to the 0,4% you show in the rules, it's a 25 or 50% increase in house edge!

Someone might want to call this misleading. I don't want to go that far, but please show the correct house edges on your site. Thanks!
