carlooch 40 #1 Posted December 6, 2017 On 12/6/2017 Primedice has reduced all users faucets to 100 satoshi. It doesn't matter if you are GOLD VIP or any VIP. If you earned a bigger faucet by wagering a lot of BTC on their site, it no longer matters. Supposedly there has been increased faucet abuse. All users have now been punished, because of the actions of a few bad eggs. This is a LAZY fix, that negatively impacts all of primedice users and VIP users. Even non-VIP users who have earned a bigger faucet, you are now back down to 100 satoshi. In my mind there is no incentive to be a VIP user, or try to become a VIP on primedice anymore. 1 1 Jaybuds and xMossx reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katarina 319 #2 Posted December 6, 2017 Hello! As I have explained to you, the faucet is not the only way to get some free money to play with. We offer a whole lot of giveaways and I am positive there is something for everyone. https://forum.primedice.com/forum/giveaways/?id=35 Furthermore, there are daily mods and support rains, various chat games like Hunger Games, Roll Hunt and Bingo. That is not enough? We have the pay-per-post system! Be active on the forum with constructive contributions and you will be paid for it. 2 1 carlooch, UltraChief and Kargai reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UltraChief 1,471 #3 Posted December 6, 2017 I would say that the faucet is a method to try out new strategies and not something to abuse. I guess since VIPs got a bigger faucet they would milk it and try to hit big with it. While I personally dont endorse this idea, I believe if you dont like this new change then you should go to another site and not argue. Probably your protest will go in vain and you wont anything out of it. 1 1 Katarina and carlooch reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome to an online casino in 2017/2018. Price of BTC rise so much that more and more gambling sites just suppress their free faucet or don't pay non depositor anymore. It is what it is, the time where satoshis were free is over. You need to live with it.

Now because of a few rotten users, we all get penalized. Its an unpopular move made by a website who continues to make becoming a VIP user more and more worthless. 1 2 Jaybuds, Raptor and MegaBetzZz reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raptor 9 #6 Posted December 6, 2017 The most upsetting part about this is the deceit that was used. The deceit i speak of - is that for the most of PrimeDice history, your wagered amount had an impact on your faucet amount. The intention of this is to encourage players to wager higher in return for a better faucet. A lot of players did this, apparently in vain with this new ruling. As it stands now, the only perc of being a high wager is a colored VIP txt next to your name. Pretty lame is you ask me, but hey at least its something.... We understand that there are other ways to obtain "freebies" from PD, but many of us in the 1-2K btc wagered group feel disrespected at this abrupt and blanket change. Please think and implement some better bonuses/incentives for being a VIP. 1 1 Jaybuds and carlooch reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take a step back and look at it from a community stand point, not only your personnal situation. PD is a business AND a community at the same time. They cut the faucet of "rich" (who depo) on one hand and they redistribute that to those who help them grow the community via forums (regardless of the money they can bring to the game). On any other situation maybe you'll see that as a positive Robin Hood's thing. Here because you are hurt, you cry about it. If you depo regularly and if you contribute in a positive way (forum, chat, ...), they will know it and you'll probably receive more rains & co than the little guy who don't depo and don't contribute. You already had all the benefit of the VIP for your depots until there. Nobody says it was a lifetime bonus (at least I don't believe). If you go in store and you buy an item at christmas "buy 10 and receive 2 free" ... you'll not receive the "+2 free" every time you'll buy those items in the futur. 1 1 2 Jaybuds, Katarina, carlooch and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dboyeric 249 #13 Posted December 10, 2017 one thing have learnt so is, you will never win a case with PD, every company has there own policy. i just felt faucet shouldn't be the only thing lowered, minimum withdrawal should also be reduced to something meaningful Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bboyNZ 5 #15 Posted December 12, 2017 I understand bitcoin value has increased, and so faucets had to decrease.. I get that... but what I don't understand is why would management degrade the VIP system making it worthless. Afterall, its the VIPs who keep PD going with regular deposits, yet we are shown the same respect as the bottom-feeding 'faucet farmers'. As a player who has wagered almost 1000btc, and has lost 12+btc here, I think I have a right to feel slightly disgruntled by this issue. ..Im going to go cry myself to sleep now..

Well.. all get punished. This is a simple trick.. but I'm not sure if it will have the wished outcome or not. But with a faucet of 100 Satoshi.. is it a hard work to make something out of it. So making it less interesting for everyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainLorca 901 #25 Posted December 16, 2017 Staff.. is there a possibility to integrate a short message when you come online, explaining the reducement? feels like every half hour someone comes in and someone has to explain it over and over again and sometimes justify it.
