Hello everyone!
If you're a faucet owner or is thinking to create a profitable faucet, then you are at the right place. If you're just somebody who is somebody, you can continue to read - but the content may be unappealing to you.
As most of you know, I am
jacktheking and the owner of the
free provably fair Bitcoin lottery site,
BitRevenues.com [
Bitcointalk thread] and blab blab blab.
I will just get straight to the point instead of promoting my site ...
I am looking to partner a few popular faucets to giveaway free tickets to participate in my site's lottery game. All you have to do is to add a few lines of code to your faucet and then your faucet users will be able to participate in my lottery game - without your users visiting my site or filling captchas twice.
Why should you partner me? There is absolutely no disadvantages (other than a few more codes and bandwidth). In additional to not having disadvantages, you can actually benefit from it. You will stand 20% chances of getting a free ticket to participate in my lottery game every time your users receive a free ticket via you (much like referral). To add on, (as I already mentioned) your faucet users do not need to visit my site or fill in extra captcha. Since this partnership benefit both you and your users, why won't you partner me?
Oh wait! One disadvantage 9not really), you will of course have to link back to my site to tell your users that they receive a free ticket (only when the user receive ticket. no ticket = no link back - if you prefer not to support me
)
My script is still in beta phrase and it will be great if my partnership is with someone with PHP knowledge. However, every faucets owners is welcome to request a partnership with BitRevenues.

Updated:
FaucetInABox modification that works with my API is ready. .
(API in JSON format only)
Edited:
Technical detailsAPIThe API location is located at
http://freebitcoinlottery.xyz/api/v1/claim.php. The API only accept two parameters and that is
sitekey and
address.
http://freebitcoinlottery.xyz/api/v1/claim.php?sitekey=$sitekey&address=$bitcoinAddress
: Your site key to work with the API. Do not disclose this to other people. Contact me to get one.
address: The Bitcoin address you want it to receive a free ticket.
The API will return "success"
no matter what happen (unless the server is down). The API will also return "ticketnumber" if the Bitcoin address received a ticket.
success: return from
001 to
009.
001 to
008 represent 'fail' - no ticket number received.
009 represent success - ticket number received.
ticketnumber: the ticket number received.
Every API key have a 300 seconds cooldown until another tickets can be received. You can discuss with me if you wish to lower the timer - only for large and popular faucets.
FaucetInABox script example / tutorialStep zero: Log into your FTP.
Step one: Go to "/faucetbox/libs" and create a new file with the name
freebitcoinlottery.php. Open it with a text editor (Notepad).
Step two: Paste the following PHP code inside
freebitcoinlottery.php. Remember to save it.
<?php
$sitekey = "ChangeThisOnly"; // Only change this to your site key. Do not change any other code unless you know what you are doing.
$bitcoinAddress = $to; $lotteryMsg = "";
fopen("freebitcoinlottery.txt", "r");
$lastClaim = file_get_contents("freebitcoinlottery.txt");
if($lastClaim+300 <= time()) {
$response = file_get_contents("http://freebitcoinlottery.xyz/api/v1/claim.php?sitekey=$sitekey&address=$bitcoinAddress");
$response = json_decode($response, true);
if (isset($response["success"]) && $response["success"] == "009") {
$lotteryMsg = "<br>You have also received a free lottery ticket (#".$response["ticketnumber"].") at <a href=\"http://freebitcoinlottery.xyz/\">FreeBitcoinLottery.xyz</a>.";
file_put_contents("freebitcoinlottery.txt", time());
}
else {
// $lotteryMsg = "<br>Error: ". $response["success"]; // Uncomment only if you wish to debug the script.
}
}
?>
Step 3: Go to "/faucetbox/libs" and open up
faucetbox.php with a text editor (Notepad).
Step 4: Find the following code (line 111)

And change it to
'html' => '<div class="alert alert-success">' . htmlspecialchars($amount) . ' satoshi was sent to you <a target="_blank" href="https://faucetbox.com/check/' . rawurlencode($to) . '">on FaucetBOX.com</a>.'.$lotteryMsg.'</div>',
