There are some sites where one can get free bitcoins. The catch, if you want to call it that, is
that you might be exposed to advertising. Or it might be incentive to spend more time at their site,
to gamble with or do something else there which will be to their benefit in some way. Or it might be
a way to give newbies a start with getting and using bitcoins, which, it is hoped, will benefit
Bitcoin as a whole. As long as anything like spending more time at their site, or doing something
else, is optional then I will consider the coins given out there as "free." Sites which include pop-ups,
adfly-like redirections, or similarly annoying hoops to jump through, will not be added to the list.
NOTE: All faucets which only use Microwallet to payout have been removed. Microwallet is no
longer paying out. If a faucet below has an option to use Microwallet as a payout method choose
to use the other method it offers if you want to get paid.
Beware of sites/threads which just copy the entries from this official thread and hides the links behind url redirectors, making them
untrustworthy or a spam-filled inconvenience at best. Also beware of faucet rotator-timer things that claim to make it easy for you
to submit your address to each site at the proper times, especially ones you have to download to your own computer. It is hard to
know what is going on behind the curtain. Also even some of the sites listed here will have their own list of free Bitcoin sites but
hide them behind coinurl and/or adfly links, and other dubious and spammy things like that. For your convenience and safety it is best
to just use their faucet, and avoid the other links there, and then come back to use the verified and maintained list of links here. Note: Many of these sites only payout once a day, or even less often, to save on transaction fees,
so don't get too worried if you don't see a payment for several hours. If after more than a week you still
don't get anything, or you have any other problems, post in this thread. Some of the operators of these
various sites follow this thread. Also note the
* beside some entries and what it means as explained under
the list of entries below.
Also, many sites these days will not payout until you have built up a minimum balance,
often over a number of days, so that they won't have to payout small amounts [ "dust" ]. This is good for both
them and you since "dust" transactions are problematic ( you can read more about "dust" and its problems in other
threads on this forum ).
Update: Most of these sites use a payout service, like Microwallet for example, which
aggregates payments and pays out to ones Bitcoin address when the total balance rises above a certain minimum
value. The colored letters after each entry below shows what service, if any, each site uses; check the key at the
bottom of the list.

Also pay attention to the posts here. People, businesses, etc., will often give Bitcoins away as part of promotions, or games and contests,
or just because...
Please post in this thread if you know of any other
free Bitcoin sites or have any other relevant information pertaining to this subject.
Do your best to point out if any conditions or restrictions of any kind exist that may cause some to think it isn't really that free...
e.g. a gambling site that gives out "free" bitcoins but doesn't allow you to withdraw them and requires that you use them to gamble
at their site... or a site that requires you to perform some task, easy or even fun as it may be, before they give you any coin. There is
no doubt a gray area with some sites where not everyone would agree the coin is actually free. Feel free to discuss these situations below.
I will try to update this post with the sites and information that seem to be a good fit. Feel free to give your opinion and make your case
below if you do not agree with anything that I include, or exclude. You also may find some sites listed below, which while they don't exactly
qualify as giving out "free" bitcoins and don't make it into this original post, may still hold some interest for you.
Please let me know if any of these sites go away or stop giving away bitcoins and I will remove them from this list.
For example there was a site called
The bitcoin flower, which would give away a free bitcoin everyday to whoever
was the first to see it in bloom when they loaded the page. It shut down late last year ( 2011 ) with a message
that it was closed for the winter. It didn't bloom again in the spring. Must not have been a perennial.
If you find this list has been helpful to you in getting your first BTC and you appreciate the time put in to verify these
sites, and to compile and maintain this list, please consider a small donation:
