Please some one tell me how can I protect my btc faucet site from bots.. I am loosing my satoshi without traffic.

1)Add more than 1 captcha if 1 is not enough.
2) add anti-bot text where you can show text randomly on webpage before they claim satoshi.
3) text they need to click in particular order.

These might help you against bots.

Search about captcha is what people use to prove it's a person some are better then others.  I would guess your site is not worth a bot as paying to get capatcha solved vs amount paid I see losing money.

What is your current protection?  And are you sure they are not just using something like ad-blockers which could effect your traffic on ads?

Are you sure you live stat tracker is working. I have not idea how to implement anti-bot text but I have seen in many faucet sites.

I am using reCaptcha service. but the problem is still alive. I think the bots cracked recaptcha. and recaptcha is no more protective.
I am apllied for funcaptcha. but My account is still pending..

there are service that solve captcha for you, so this is not a solution

you cna do besides adding captcha making the faucet sending money every 5 min, so they need to spend more on captcha sovler, to have the same amount of satoshi of a faucet that pay you every 1 hour

this mena that it will not worth it for them

I would think it's already not worth it.  Faucet pay's
80 Percent - 200 satoshi  - $0.0008013000
20 percent - 300 satoshi - $0.0012022800

Just a quick google it looks like your losing money.  5k solves for 7 dollars.
80 percent - 3.2052
20 percent - 1.2022

So spend 7 dollalrs and get 4.40 approx seems like crappy deal.   Only way they are making money if if it's automated and does not use human services.  And if that your talking about thousands of views and sends.   Unless someone knows some site that solves 5k for on average less than 4.40 dollars.

Can you give your faucet link so we can check what the problem cause balance decrease? Not detail what type of faucet script did you have

Some people do resell tokens for captcha services for lesser price, and no thats quite an unrealistic calculation you offered. You can get much more captcha solving token for lesser amounts. And some services like 9k.eu offer P2P captcha solving.

I read a lot of complains about recaptcha, you should try using fun captcha as I think it is stronger than Google's captcha.
But I do not think "Anti bot" is a good choice because users hate it and will abandon your faucet

[Shibashi Dogemoto]

Most replies in this topic are correct, but there's a dedicated thread from somebody who is making an open source tool to protect faucets... There was a lot of usefull information, and a big discussion in said thread.
I'm to lazy to use the searchfunction ATM, you can either search for yourself, or i'll edit this post when i'm having more time

you did not know about this captcha solver which is cheaper $2.5 for 5k captcha, so it would be profitable

that's one of the most common problems, web owners trend to use a very high and difficult captcha that, in the end, will scare away users from their site. Is really difficult to find a "perfect" solution, btw can you give us the link to your site? i really want to check it out.

you can find the link in his profile

@OP
I see you are using faucetbox script. Do you have latest version? Can't be your private key compromised?
try FUN captcha, I have heard it's a good bot_stopper.

Another solutions depends on your skills. Can you code? Add some button, another text to copy (check input), choose two of three pictures while one is upside down etc. 

[Cryptock]

I will suggest fun captcha

[onlinedragon]

Add something that can't be filled in by automatic captcha services. Check a extra box before proceed and some faucets got also scammed by imacros scripts.

You would be right then.  I have not used a bot on anything in a long time so kinda out of look on pricing. 

OP what you might do is find a way to make captcha only valid for so many seconds.  So give it 15 seconds to enter the captacha. Chances are it is not going to send to service get solved and anwser be sent back in that amount of time.

Or you need to make it where you only send to address X amount of times per hour.  Your goal is to stop basically slow it down where it's not worth botting since it appears it is profitable.
