Faucets - An Extra Way to get Free Cryptocurrencies
When Bitcoin started you could get even 5 BTC from faucets, just by clicking a captcha or so. I remember myself getting 1,5 BTC per Gmail address on the very first faucet made by Gavin Andresenn.
Keep in mind those 5 BTC were worth nothing back then, same as currently, some coin may not be worth much or maybe small amount of BTC may not be. You don't know what it can be in future though.
To be clear - i do NOT suggest faucets as a way to make money.
On the other hand it wont hurt you to do 1 click a day on some site (many allow clicks every hour or once 24h) and it may help.
Here are few faucets that i found working without issues.
Free BitcoIN
This is the oldest good paying faucet out there. Every 1 hour you are eligible for freeroll + you can deposit BTC and play them in casino. Faucet has loads of options like betting, buying lotery tickets and many bonuses. I remember i was lucky enough to win around 0.03 BTC once in the free-roll.
REGISTER WITH EMAIL
Bitcoin Cash
This is a new one, no idea how long it will work but for now it does. Every 24h you can get BCC/BCH (however you call it) sent directly to your address.
Cryptopia
This is actually an exchange, a not bad one. But if you deposit some coins, and trade them (can be literally 1 USD worth) then almost every 1 hour they give away on chat coins to "last people who logged in".
So just login, say hi on chat and expect some coins to drop. There is really many giveaways there and you can trade those coins into DOGE/LTC/BTC right away. Nothing big but a fun way to treat users. Its a really friendly place and exchange never had issues (so far). They also have Lotto and other cool options.

Thanks !
Good luck
It's not really a "free" lunch. You get exposed to ads, so the faucet owners profit from it, so it's not like most of these are operated from the goodness of someones heart.
plus whats even more evil :D they used the ip registered on the faucet sites to map the bitcoin adresses . This Ip-geo-mapping was know years (2010 or so) ago but people still use faucets... survises like chainanalyse deliver all those data to the Goverment/IRS...all anonymity is gone
My experience with Bitcoins was I got .3 coin early on, then put it in MT. Gox (I think that's what it was called) for binary trading, but then that company got hacked and I
Ouch, that sucks :(
O no!
Thanks for the info. I never heard of faucets before. 5 BTC was nothing back in the day, how times change.
But now everything is changing with regret
I did some faucets when I first started too! Actually my very first bitcoin came from a faucet
thanks for the suggestion, but faucets are wast of time. much better airdrop of new coins :)
Is ETH going to airdrop when they get through Forking?
don't think so..
Yeah well, it's free, but it's REALLY slow.
I tried when I first got to know cryptos and boy, I lost patience after a month seeing less than $100 earnings per month...
Anyway, great post, and thanks a lot for posting it!
this is my only issue with these as well; you have to have NO LIFE whatsoever to spend enough time, earning enough coin through these faucets; they are .... really 'cheap' on the payouts for our time; almost the only way to really earn is to have a massive amount of referrals who are all referring others; Even then many of them would be discouraged by the small payouts.
Did you really expect more than $100 per month for a single click on a website?
Nope, I was on multiple faucets, about 10 or 15, with multiple times a day clicking, still could never reach that in a month.
Ah, that makes more sense. Faucets are generally not worth time time, but it could be very profitable if the coin gets a 10x or even a 100x value increase.
I had a friend who earned $5000 a year by faucetting. Scored a good $2500 a year or about 1btc at the time.
Thanks for sharing! <3
Wow, not bad at all! How did he possibly manage this?
must have been a long time ago; and they probably had a BUNCH of referrals
I don't have the patience for faucets... but that's cool you used to get 1.5 BTC from the gmail faucet... that faucet alone could have made someone rich!
I can't believe these faucets are still around. Considering the price of btc and the rate of fees,
