I have 120K referrals.
I am one of the most sucessful earners of passive income on freebitcoin, in history.
But the company that I built with this money went bankrupted. I was stolen three times — the people that f***d me got away.
I was relying on freebitcoin to pay my costs and for my family's (children too).
The guy that said people have 1 million dollars on freebitcoin is right. A lot of people was using the website as I BANK. SAVINGS for RETIREMENT. It's like you RETIRENMENT TAKEN, STOLEN from shady guys is UNBELIEVABLE!
A lot of people will think about suicide... maybe some will do it.
As they had more than 1000 BTC since the beginning, it was treated LIKE A BANK. Like a REAL BUSINESS OFFSHORE.
I felt like an associated from the website, not a gambler (never played any game, I just brought thousands of people to the website and earned passive income all those 10 years).
Now I am desperated and negative on the bank account. My life is ruined... freebitcoin is my only hope and I have money there, I earned it and advertised the website for years.
Now they're vanished... I DON'T understand a website that was trustable for YERAS do such thing... uncoprehensible!!!!!!!!

Did they mention why they had to remove the funds?
No, they never mentioned anything. Initially, they used to keep the funds in their cold wallet address on Bitcoin network. They had moved all the funds to Aave Interest Bearing protocol after that ( check here). Then they had moved all the funds to ' crypto exchange Bybit' in July of last year. They had also transferred FUN tokens from their cold wallet address to Binance. Users started to face delays with withdrawals occasionally since then.

i'm sorry things turned out this way for you, but what were you thinking relying on freebitco.in earnings to support yourself and your family? freebitco.in was a faucet and a casino, not a bank or a retirement plan. A lot of people will think about suicide... maybe some will do it.
i hope not. you can always make more money. and as long as you are alive, you have the possibly to get back on your feet no matter what happens. ending your own life over freebitco.in should never be an option. Now I am desperated and negative on the bank account. My life is ruined... freebitcoin is my only hope and I have money there, I earned it and advertised the website for years.
thinking your life is ruined is not gonna help, you should focus on things you can control and work to get back on your feet.

thinking your life is ruined is not gonna help, you should focus on things you can control and work to get back on your feet. Thanks for these words... but it was 10 years of trust. Never thought that these guys would do such thing... They should payout everyone and stay with their real state, lambos and etc... I have to focus and recover. But I made a career upon referrals... I am gonna use another website and recover everything I lost on freebitco. I have motives to be alive. Children to raise. But these guys that lost thousands, millions of dollars... I can't even imagine what will happen when they read this huge thread that is one step way of going viral for some influencer or Youtuber cover the this case. freebitcoin owner, if u're reading this... better you payout everyone before it's too late. Somebody will find you. You left too many digital footprints... can't hide forever. Or ur family... Do the right thing and PAY PEOPLE. Then shut off the lights of freebitcoin once for all. This is not gonna end well 4 u...

NEW FACT TODAY: I was logged out from freebitco.in for some reason. Loged in again and it's working normally to log in.
I wonder if they reset something... maybe the website was not abandoned just yet. There's a human operating the system and if this is an exit scheme, they should be vanished by now.
I wonder what's happening in that freebitcoin's basement somewhere.... What are these guys eating? What is their routine? What are they thinking beeing silent like that?
Bankrupted, arrested, killed or hacked. Just one is true.
All your accusations confirm my guesses. First, freebitco still has a large user base traffic because of the old reputation built over years of running as a free btc faucet, and from the still running refferal program. Second, there should one or two persons only who control the platform so this is why there is a lavk of communication even though withdrawals can be processed in an unditermined time period. I am somehow sure that only one person has access to their hot wallet, so he collect withdrawal requests for let's say two or three weeks or even more, then send the withdrawals in one day.

In general, if I were freebitcoin, I would ban all users who have more than 10 referrals. I'm sick of those who create fake accounts to get rich. And you have to be a complete idiot to say that he had 120,000 referrals, earned money on this for 10 years, and now complain that he was screwed and his life is over.

It's kind of a big hit for some of us. I used FreeBitco.in 100% to fund my faucet website for a few years now due to being lazy... Now I've got to pull something out of my ass too.

Feel like they want to earn more so they put the money on Binance to earn interest or trade to get more money and pay the users but have made a mistake to let themselves fall into financial difficulties

This whining is already boring. Let it go, the train has left. I'm a sucker, you are suckers to a greater extent, forget about it. There are other resources that are similar and have been working for a couple of years. But just don't think about throwing your money there again, it will not lead to anything good.

And you have to be a complete idiot to say that he had 120,000 referrals, earned money on this for 10 years, and now complain that he was screwed and his life is over.  I never created fake accounts, bro, don't even know how it would work.When you have thousands of followers on social media, that's how you get 120K referrals.My video about freebitcoin got 700K views on YouTube, it was the most sucessful video of the planet about freebitcoin in that era. It was banned from YouTube in the pademic. I got 100K referrals from that single video — when YouTube was viral and there was not tiktok bull****. Even freebitcoin treated me like an associated, giving 10 times more more bitcoins in the faucet. But I understand your accusation, but it was a huge sucess in 2014. I got 20 bitcoins at the time. Didn't use any bots to accomplish that. I was never banned from freebitcoin anyway. I was in the leaderboards for years on freebitcoin. You'll not believe but... I almost lost it all in 10 years. 20 bitcoins. Instead of holding, I tried to open and invest in some businesses... and I was robbed. 3 times. Company broke in the pandemic. I should had waited until the 100K dollar value, but who knows? I didn't know if I was gonna be alive in 2025 and Trump would be re-elected. Now I have nothing, my account balance is - negative and the only money I had is in freebitcoin.

Sorry bud, but no sorry because I have no pity for you and for people like you who possibly build and put all your trust and life dependence on an online account on a site you are supposed not to be sure about its tomorrow existance, you confessed that you've been earning from freebitco for over 10 years now without ever playing a single game, what were you then doing with all the money? If you had planned yourself well, within this 10 years, you should by now have multiple streams of incomes where by as one or two closes, you have other sources of income to fall back on, but maybe you spent the whole money living a flamboyant life and possibly spending the money on things you shouldnt be spending on. It is often said that life is in phases and how you manage a phase of life will tell or determine how soft or hard the next phase of your life will be, thanks for sharing this here anyway, it should serve as a lesson for really care about their future and how to plan for it.

I don't know, this question isn't directed at me but let me try saying something before the user whom the question is for comes around to give and answer.. I honestly can not tell and do not believe that there is or are other resources like freebitco out there, a resource that has completely all the features freebitco has with absolutely nothing missing including the bitcoin faucet, the weekly lottery, the lottery ticket and Reward point system, the daily free spins, the bi-annual Lamborghini draws and so on. I have not mentioned or talked about the games listed on site, and also plus other features that I may not remember at the moment. To be best of my knowledge, there is absolutely no other platform out there that have all the listed and known features freebitco has, but if there really is one or more such platforms out there, I myself will also love to know about it/them.

To be best of my knowledge, there is absolutely no other platform out there that have all the listed and known features freebitco has, but if there really is one or more such platforms out there, I myself will also love to know about it/them.
Our 20 faucets, live since 2017 (!!) have some similar features, competition between best earners (weekly and monthly) but we are no where crazy like these idiots, thus we're offering a DAILY roll, not hourly!! We used to make it hourly for years, yes, but the crypto world has changed so much. We called FBC many times to change their business model and also referred 120k users to them but these guys buried their heads in the sand and now they have lost: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5487189.0Our oldest site since 2010 is Get-Paid.com live for over 15 years. We know how to sustain a business, it's definitely not done like what they did. They had only 2 faucets. The first one was shut down in 2018, this one is now a dead business. For those who still believe in getting paid from FBC we covered all this here and on our social media (especially YouTube). First they made withdrawals manually, now they can't handle these anymore. We know how it works as we've done it ourselves. If we have left our faucets with hourly rolls and not daily we would've shut down like these guys. Trust our experience here. We know how it works. Read the forum links. You would see we were always right.

Yeah… this is more of a moral note, so feel free to skip this paragraph. I’m on the side of “everyone is the master of their own life.” We all knew or at the very least should have known the risks of leaving coins on a custodial site. I think some people somewhere around 2013 kept drumming that no private keys here so be careful. At the same time, I'm also on the side of "words do matter". FBC should have kept their promises (well lah-dih-dah - how cutely naive of me! At my next post I’ll probably rant about world peace!), and the same goes for the endless “told you so” sermons. People have every right to say it, but I don’t see the point. Losses like this already push some to the edge; I can imagine suicides happening, and the internet has enough loose cannons who might go hunting the supposed “owners” and end up hurting an innocent person instead. This isn’t a movie where the good guys magically win. Losing money is frustrating and painful, and I don’t want to offer false hope — because frankly, I don’t see much if any. Having hope is just the worst. That said, and I’m sure these aren’t exactly groundbreaking ideas, food for thought: if anyone does want to turn some stones, the Dutch gambling authority (KSA) might be the only angle. They’ve already fined or tried to fine FBC B.V., which looks like a Dutch limited company rather than just a Belizean shell? If that’s the case, it should show up in the Dutch company register? There has also been some dialogue between KSA and FBC(? according to linked 2 daya old article), so there must be some representative in the open? The authority itself is probably bound by GDPR, so a public register may be the only real starting point — and unfortunately, maybe also the end. Any native Dutch residents or speakers here who can confirm what this article says, or explain how these things usually work in the Netherlands? https://www.casinonieuws.nl/online/ksa-verbeurt-dwangsom-van-e-280-000-van-freebitco-in-fbc-bv/

This isn’t a movie where the good guys magically win. Losing money is frustrating and painful, and I don’t want to offer false hope — because frankly, I don’t see much if any. Having hope is just the worst. That said, and I’m sure these aren’t exactly groundbreaking ideas, food for thought: if anyone does want to turn some stones, the Dutch gambling authority (KSA) might be the only angle. They’ve already fined or tried to fine FBC B.V., which looks like a Dutch limited company rather than just a Belizean shell? If that’s the case, it should show up in the Dutch company register? There has also been some dialogue between KSA and FBC(? according to linked 2 daya old article), so there must be some representative in the open? The authority itself is probably bound by GDPR, so a public register may be the only real starting point — and unfortunately, maybe also the end. Any native Dutch residents or speakers here who can confirm what this article says, or explain how these things usually work in the Netherlands? https://www.casinonieuws.nl/online/ksa-verbeurt-dwangsom-van-e-280-000-van-freebitco-in-fbc-bv/Use translation and the title is "The Dutch Gaming Authority demands a €280,000 fine from freebitco.in"

We used to make it hourly for years, yes, but the crypto world has changed so much. We called FBC many times to change their business model and also referred 120k users to them but these guys buried their heads in the sand and now they have lost:
Perhaps it was overconfidence on the part of the Freebitcoin team, as well as a reluctance to change anything or adapt their business model to market realities, since everything had been working fine for them for a long time. But apparently, at some point, something went wrong and everything started to collapse like a house of cards.
