Recently I noticed that some faucets despite the fact that they have "safety limits" have another method to make it difficult for users.After user try to claim and get "safety limits" message,on second attempt at the right time which is on full or half hour they sent only 1 satoshi to FaucetBox.So in fact the user have only one chance to claim.This is really dirty and dishonest from this faucet owners.These are just some of them, and there are still quite a few who use this method >:(

that is dirty but I think faucet owners do that because they feel that bots are draining the balance too fast and they are not getting good ad revenue.

More people need to show support by clicking an ad with each claim and you will see less of this type of thing in the faucet world.

At the moment all the others have insufficient balances.

thanks for sharing your assessment  mate it is really bad for those faucets owners who's doing this stuff i think cheating with your visitors would not be a good idea you are just pushing them away and in the long run no one will visit you anymore,. ::)

Isn't this one of the many ways of fighting bots and user using proxies?
You are receiving that because you are using VPN, tor, or proxy or your IP or country was prohibited from that faucets.

no because it does that to everyone.

it's not a good way to battle the bots and vpn's.

it's a last resort to stop the balance from draining.

Lol, very dishonest from their side... Better to send those faucets to the shame list, don't use them.

If they are fearing bots and hackers they should set stronger anti-bot links or any other trick to protect better the faucet balance, but this isn't the right way to do it.

I went to three faucets today, on the pages he clearly stated that he has no balances please wait till Monday.

Websites are

Now that is the way to do it.

You claim at the right time 2,47 after full hour and it is normal to get pay at this time.Problem with paying only 1 satoshi is happens when you claim and get "safety limits" message.After that they pay only 1 satoshi.For me there is no problem,I know when to claim to avoid this,but I see lot of my referrals get only 1 satoshi so this is info for all faucet users.



This is have nothing with fighting bots.This happens on this faucets when they reach their safety limits and you claim in that time.I do not use proxy,VPN,tor and I claim normal rewards on this faucets when I use them in right time.You should be careful when accusing people to do things like this.


Bad way to fight bots,but this way they fight legitimate users.First you get safety limits and then if you try again only 1 satoshi.Also from time to time they use hidden adds placed under address box and captcha in combination with AdSense,very smart move...

These faucets are not SCAM,they pay but if you visit them in wrong time and get "safety limits" message it is better to not visit them in next 24 hours because then only pay 1 satoshi.I visit some of them today and I get redirected to other faucets,sometimes they use this method.What is interesting that I see referral payment from the same faucets in that time.So they use different settings for different countries.
