Is it really profitable to start a faucet?

Is it?

Maybe you should ask this question in the games section or even in the speculation section you will get more replys over there since any gambler and faucet owner will ge over there

If you know what you are doing it might be.
But from all I have seen, there is a very high chance that it will not.
The number of dead faucets is raising every day.
Bots steal your Satoshis, Adsens blocks your account and immediatelly you have lost all your investments.

Maybe a faucet based over an altcoin different than BTC could get popular
if rewards would be high with cool down time not to long.
Alts like ETH or something very new.
I saw that 2of3 BigUp faucets are down. This could be your chance
as that coin actually is doing pretty good. Don't expect huge income, experiment
and hobby that's what it should be. To be honest in BTC faucet world a single
individual with small budget stands little to no chance.
Check the faucetbox, with thousands ugly and boring sites that nobody is visiting. 
If you try your luck remember not to overweight your site and make it mobile friendly.

hint::: faucets are a advertising tool

To increase success chance with your faucet would be good if you create your own design. It's more versatile and you can add more pages, add more ads (biggest profit income), maybe add a mini-game or bonus...

To prevent bots manual payments maybe be usefull, so you can know who is suspect cheating on your faucet.

And of course you must offer decent rewards or nobody will use it.

This is true.

It is somehow profitable, but you have to try to make it popular, as there are also a lot of faucets right there that don't make it to the top. Monetizing is a good way to earn when you're starting with faucets. More advertisements = more money

[NeilLostBitCoin]

More visitors = more profit. So you must work hard Campaigning your faucet.

[a7mos]

Running a faucet is a risky investment because you may not be able to get your ROI because of the low traffic or because of bots. Also I read before that google AdSense are banning faucets so you may lose the main and the most important ads source

[lottoitaliano]

i think can is profitable, if you use a different strategy, not the only bitcoin faucet with faucetbox script, but alternative crypto.
for example, can is a a good idea opena doge faucet already with faucetbox, but with serious rewards, to faucetbox i see only doge faucet with low amount and personally i don't use faucet with low amount or use but i don't click banner

[wakhidNkcom]

sum time profit but most time bot take money and leave you empty all time.
beeter to build good ecommerce business and work hard.

Sure it'll be profitable, if your faucet is unique, high reward, high referral commission and user-friendly layout.

you can also go with some bonuses and a little bit of competition/lotto and a dice where people can bet some of their satoshis and see if they can multiply them.

It can be profitable when you get enough advertizers and enough visitors. It's diffucult in the beginning. Start with deep pockets loaded with bitcoins.

Upgrades are very nice and excitant, but never works on long term because if everybody makes the desired upgrade the site collapses. Only works if the rates are possible considering the ads faucet income. But if it promises big upgrade returns better to don't risk.

Gambling can be a nice feature, but who really wants to earn some satoshi won't bet it to lose everything...
