You need some scripting code + database.
Example:
https://github.com/Greedi/bitcoin-faucet (https://github.com/Greedi/bitcoin-faucet)

it should be pretty easy to program, especially if you do payout manually.  :)

Please don't make another referral "scam" faucet. Nobody wins from them. The site owners get paid a very small amount in ad fees (but rarely enough to be worth the effort of making the site). People looking for free bitcoins get paid an even smaller amount of bitcoin which isn't enough to buy anything with and the people trying to make money through referral links also make tiny amounts of money.

The end result is simply spam sites, spam posts on forums, unhappy people trying to get their hands on bitcoins and lots of people wasting their time for very little reward.

This is 100% correct! Here's a post I once made about faucets and how you can spend your time more productively.
