I shall add some information about the faucet itself, up to date as of version 2.1:
_____________ HOW DOES THE FAUCET WORK? _____________On the home page of the website, there is a gift icon that gives you access to the faucet.
You must be logged in to get Silver Tickets from it. Silver Tickets are the currency that you can use around the website to play games for free, and win real Nano bits in turn.
Exceptions to this are:
- Poker, that you can play for free whenever a freeroll tournament is up, without using tickets and for much better prizes,
- Roulette, that for current UI limitations will get you more Sliver Tickets if you win, instead of Nano. This will change in a future release.
_____________ IS THERE ANY WITHDRAWAL MINIMUM AMOUNT? _____________No, you may withdraw your winnings everyday, with no withdrawal minimum amount.
The minimum amount you can be credited on your account by playing a game is 0.000 001 NANO, and this is also the least you can send to your own wallet.
_____________ IS THERE A WITHDRAWAL FEE? _____________No, of course not. The main focus of Nano is to be a currency that can be sent and received instantly, at no inherent cost.
Imposing a fee on players is out of question; that would simply go against our desire to let people experience the satisfaction that is using Nano.
Some services may charge you, but really, you are paying for their operating costs.
To prevent spamming, we went for the solution of letting faucet players withdraw once per day, whatever their balance is.
_____________ IS THERE A FEE OF SOME SORT WHEN PLAYING POKER? _____________Nope, as stated in the OP. You can deposit money, play Cash Games, and withdraw the exact same amount of money that you won.
No rake fee, and still no withdrawal fee.
