Freebitco.in has raised their lowest reward with 50%. Good news because they lost market share due to the high BTC price and so the low reward. I think it is a wise decision.

yes, really good idea, because first have a last rate to 400-450 satoshi for hour and i stop to use because more pay at now 800-1000 minimum. 650 for hour is good already because have 2 free lottery ticket

I think coin888 is big competitor of freebitco .

Not necessarily. It's not like you have to choose between one faucet or another. People who are into faucets will likely use both of them.

Not necessarily. It's not like you have to choose between one faucet or another. People who are into faucets will likely use both of them. But these days there is so many faucets to choose from that people will stop using low paying faucets when they think it isn't worth of their time anymore. Lower the payouts go more people will stop using it.

FreeBitco does have one advantage over other faucet and it is a lottery,in addition to being one of the longest-running faucet.People will continue to use it even though the minimum reward, which in this case is always related to price of Bitcoin.Perhaps the smallest reward should be increase in some percentage to be more attractive to users.

The increased rewards are only for 24 hours (actually 48 hours since it took 24 hours to just email the users who had been active in the last 15 days).
Although the minimum reward that we give might be lower than some other faucets, the average amount that we give per roll is much much higher due to the chance of winning the bigger prizes. I don't think users would like it if we increased the lower rewards permanently at the cost of reducing the bigger rewards. As the price of bitcoin has gone up, although the rewards have gone down, page views to the website and the number of free plays have actually increased more than 50%. We now get more than 1.5 million page views and more than 500,000 free plays a day. Although it may not seem like much to users, every 100 satoshi increase in the lowest prize actually costs us 0.5 bitcoin a day which at current prices is about $225, costing $6,750 a month which is not a small amount of money.
Increasing the smallest reward by 50% did not do anything to our traffic (number of free plays actually decreased a bit) which confirms my belief that people use our site not to collect a few hundreds or thousands of satoshi but for the chance to win big. A few thousand satoshi, although better than nothing, does not do much for the user and only makes money for the referrer. However the chance to win big prizes is what brings the users back to our website.
I do not understand the recent fascination with people wanting to collect 800 or 1,000 satoshi every hour by hitting faucets. That was never my intention with freebitco.in. I always made it to be a place where people could have a bit of fun and play for a shot at winning a significant prize. The low rewards are in place simply so that if you do not win a big prize, you at least get something.

Well for the first time ever, people had the chance to win the biggest two prizes in this faucets lottery history. The first prize was = 2.14179221 BTC and the second prize was = 1.07089610 BTC ....which is impressive indeed. So let's hope whoever won those prizes... had a perfect Xmas. ...It is just a pity, we are not seeing daily winners reporting those wins more publicly... it would generate even more views, if it did.

Well, if that's your goal, why not tweaking the payout structure to increase chances of winning anything higher than basic payout? Say, something between 10-20% instead of current 1.14%. Judging on my referred list, it looks like most people would click few times and then let it go. Giving higher chance of winning even just slightly higher amount could give a small psychological boost to the users and could help maintain active users base. Just my suggestion. It's your site and your decision.

I like freebitco because of the faucet. But when it comes to the multipying side, you always take back all your bitcoins. Your betting is not provably fair. I have tried this on various occasions and even today.

Gambling means you loss at the end and always . this is truth not only for this dice game but it's for all gambling games.

It's your site and your decision. Increasing the rewards would not be possible under the current circumstances because as it stands, the ad revenue that we get is not enough to pay the free play rewards which is currently subsidized due to the multiplier. So unless we get much larger multiplier volumes, we cannot pay more that what we currently are. Maybe users would prefer to have a larger shot at winning $20 with no chance of winning $200. It is too much of a risk to adjust the payout tiers directly so I would need to run some tests to get a better idea of what kind of prizes people would prefer to win.
