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

They are what we called the lucky ones, this business will do everything to attract and entice potential players that's why faucets has been introduce, those who wants to try and experience the games are always welcome to use the faucets balance, allowing people to enjoy and being entertain using the small amount to start the game.

Another way for attracting players, faucets helps as well with traffics that bring more interest to those experience gamblers.

Casinos are definitely businesses, but I agree that faucets are still better than none. Not surprising if there are (rare) cases whereby people managed to cashout from going all in with faucets.

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.

Don't think for a second faucets are for charity gigs and let poor people get money or something, if that was the case stake and primedice would have gone bankrupt years ago when they first started. It should be only for testing the games and see if you want to continue or not. Even with that in mind x200 is still quite alright for free money.

When you press "bet" on plinko, the outcome of the game is calculated and you are paid. But the visual payment is delayed to be in sync with the ball falling between the pins.

To understand me, do this: choose automatic bet and change the browser tab, or minimize the browser, and you will see all the ball getting together in the board. Once you resume it, all balls fall at the same time and you are "visually" paid. Now, try again, but instead of resume, just close the tab. When you get back to Stake, your ballance will be updated even if the balls never reached the prizes.

Some time ago, if you placed a bet too fast, you can see yourself playing with negative balance; it was because the delayed interface.

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.

Having a bug that can show an incorrect amount is totally unfair to players and could be considered a scam.

Seeing a different amount in your balance may cause you to make bets of a size that you would not have otherwise wanted to make.

"Probably fair"

sounds  sorta like this whole perfect provably fair system is becoming riddled with bugs?/

So this is my issue with stake which is very unsettling to me and hopefully others will see it the same way. I was playing plinko their and my balance was steadily dropping. Not the issue i have busted many deposits on plinko. My issue is as my balance was dropping it was showing 200k sats which i believed and played accordingly to. as i placed another bet it said insufficient funds. Im looking at my screen and its saying 200k i hit bet again and got the same message. so i refreshed the page and my balance now is 4k sats. A huge difference in what was shown.

I went to support not with the thought of giving me my coin back but of what happened and why. I was met with an answer of you placed the bets and lost your funds betting. And the "The balance update has been reported to our developers and it is only a visual lag, it should be fixed with one of the following updates. "  So thats it. I responded by asking if im supposed to have a calculator and add or subtract wins or losses. And how i rely on stake to accuratly display my balance as betting patterns, amounts and games played are chosen but balance. So then someone else took over and said " I have reviewed your account and afraid that you lost the funds in betting. Please check your bet history https://stake.com/account/statistics/plinko there's a lot of bets with 0.2 multiplier where the funds are deducted."

I never denied placing them nor will I. But again i was met with"From your explanation I can only assume that your balance wasn't fully updated at your front end, but after seeing the lost bets you can clearly see where the funds are gone."  And as to the calculating my own bets and not relying on the balance displayed. "

"Our games are provably fair and you are free to post anything where you like and share your feedback.
Kindly check your bets, you do not have to calculate each bet amount, just see the multiplier of the bet which will give you better result regarding the matter."

I went to a chat where i feel more welcome and made mention of it and within 5 seconds i had two pm's saying same thing happened to them. And they did not do anything about it but say you wagered the coin. Like i said im not worried about the funds i have deposited a lot of coin there and elsewhere. My issue is with your knowledge and admitting to the bug. Yet not making anyone aware or immediately fixing it. You just let is continue.  Does anyone feel i should have verified and subtracted or added each bet to maintain an accurate balance?

Your handling of this raises serious trust and other issues that i feel are showing lack of responsibility to your users by maintaining a fair site. Your games my validate and be provably fair bur is your casino? I would ask that this issue be addressed for i am sure there is other parties similar to mine that felt they were cheated.

It was your favourite website in 2013 when the price of BTC was 200$ only what's the condition of the website now?
Is it still your favourite website?

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.

I don't think the faucet is as bad as you might think.
On ethereum I think it is about x20 of the faucet, you get 100 satoshi (whats the smaller nomination for ethereum ?

I know 100 satoshi is 0.00000100 btc but dunno what they are called on ethereum) and you can withdraw something like 0.0002 which is not that hard, x20 or x200 or something like that and even tough it looks insane to reach that with your money, considering its free money you can bet on x100 or whatever multiple times, not like its going to be a loss for you, you can hit it once a day or once a week and that is still free money.

Not like it worth anything considering even 1 ethereum is about 120 dollars or so which means 0.0002 is like less then 6 cents right now but its still free money and its still withdrawable if you play too much.

There is no way to abuse faucet with multi account due to low reward and some gamblers think that it is possible to gain something with multi accounts but they can spend their time with something more valuable imo. For this purpose there are alternative faucet sites which offer faucet model where there is no captcha and time limit.

The coins from the faucet are yours, there are no "rollover" or "bet x times" tricks. AS mindrust said, it is hard to achieve the minimum to cashout, the faucet is only available to those who have zero balance, it is impossible to accumulate it.

I don't think there are restrictions with withdrawing the faucet money. The faucet gives so little it is almost impossible to make it as big as the minimum withdrawal amount anyway. I agree that the faucet is there so new players can do a test drive before they spend their real money but if you are incredible lucky with your returns by using the faucet you should still be able to withdraw them.

I was a frequent at poloniex until recently, trollbox didn't get any worse with time, it was always horrible to me, it just got even worse compared to how horrible it was which was the end of it, however even 3-4 years ago it was horrible, as soon as cryptsy or whatever that exchange was got "hacked" and closed shop most of the people there came to poloniex and ruined the trollbox at that moment, before that it was alright like you said but that is not a new thing it has been couple years already.

Best chat I have seen during those times was primedice as always because they take care of their chat with moderators (something stake.com is also doing of course) and just-dice at early days because we were small number of people who all knew each other and basically talked about our daily lives, we were that close.
