Frequently asked questions
Everything about claiming, payouts, privacy and fair use. Nothing hidden.
What exactly is a crypto faucet?
A faucet is a site that gives away tiny amounts of cryptocurrency in exchange for a few seconds of your attention. Ours pays 100–450 satoshis of BTC per claim, straight to your FaucetPay micro-wallet. It is built to help crypto beginners take their first step — the amounts are small by design, but they are real and they are instant.
Do I need to create an account or a password?
No. There is no registration and no password anywhere on this site. You enter the email address attached to your FaucetPay account, complete the steps, and get paid. That is the whole flow.
What is FaucetPay, and do I need it?
FaucetPay is a free micro-wallet made for exactly this kind of small, instant crypto payment. You do need an account there, because that is where your rewards land. Signing up takes about two minutes at faucetpay.io and costs nothing. We verify your email against FaucetPay before you start, so a typo never wastes your time.
How often can I claim?
Every 5 minutes. The limit is checked against both your email and your IP address, so it applies per person rather than per device. A live countdown on the homepage and the success page tells you exactly when you are eligible again.
How much can I earn per claim?
Between 100 and 450 satoshis of BTC, chosen at random each claim. Completing the sponsor step adds a further 25% on top. Amounts move with ad revenue — the more support our sponsors receive, the more we can pay out.
Is my reward really instant?
Yes. The moment you confirm, we call the FaucetPay payment API and you are shown a transaction ID. 100% instant — no waiting period, no withdrawal threshold, and we never hold your crypto.
Why do I have to solve a challenge?
To keep the reward pool going to real people. The challenge rotates between five different types — drag a puzzle tile, click shapes in order, slide a coin into a wallet, remember a set of symbols, or tap matching tiles. It takes a couple of seconds. Without it, automated scripts would drain the pool and honest claimers would get nothing.
Why do you ask me to turn off my ad blocker?
Because advertising is the entire revenue source. We do not charge fees and we do not hold your crypto, so every satoshi we pay comes from ad revenue. We never ban anyone for using an ad blocker — claiming is simply paused until ads can load. Note that the homepage, the FAQ and the leaderboard work normally with an ad blocker on; only the claim flow is affected.
Is there a referral program?
Yes. Share your referral link and earn 10% of your referrals' rewards automatically, every time they claim. There is no cap and no expiry. You will find your link on the success page after each claim.
My claim failed — what happened?
Almost always it is one of three things: the email is not linked to a FaucetPay account (sign up, then try again); our reward pool is being refilled (try again in a few minutes); or the claim window was still cooling down. The error message on screen tells you which. If a failure looks wrong, contact us with your transaction ID or the time it happened and we will check the logs.
Which currencies do you support?
Payouts currently run in BTC. FaucetPay supports several currencies and we add more as demand and ad revenue allow — supporting that is one of the things your ad views directly fund.
Is this available in my country?
Mostly yes. We block a small number of regions and all VPN, proxy and datacenter IP ranges, because those are overwhelmingly used for duplicate claiming. If you are on a normal residential or mobile connection you should have no problem.

What we collect
Deliberately as little as possible:
- Your email address, hashed. We store a one-way SHA-256 hash plus a masked display form such as
ex***@m***.com. The plain address is used only for the instant of the FaucetPay payout call and is never written to our database in readable form. - Your IP address, encrypted. Stored AES-256 encrypted and hashed, used solely for cooldown enforcement, fraud prevention and regional availability.
- Claim history. Amounts, timestamps, the challenge type you solved, and whether you took the sponsor bonus.
- Referral attribution. Only the referral code you arrived with, if any.
What we never do
- We never sell, rent or trade your data.
- We never ask for a password — there is no account system to protect.
- We never take custody of your cryptocurrency.
- We never display your full email address, to you or to anyone else.
Cookies
We use a session cookie to keep your claim flow alive, a CSRF cookie to protect your requests from forgery, and a page-view counter cookie to pace sponsored pop-unders. All are first-party and strictly functional. Advertising partners may set their own cookies inside their ad frames; those are governed by their policies, not ours.
Third parties
FaucetPay receives your email address and IP in order to credit your wallet — that is the service you asked us to pay you through. ip-api.com receives your IP address to determine country and whether the connection is a VPN, proxy or datacenter. Advertising networks configured by the site owner serve the ad slots and are subject to their own privacy policies.
Retention
Expired claim sessions are deleted every 5 minutes by our maintenance job. API call logs are archived after 30 days. Presence pings are dropped after 5 minutes. Claim records are retained for leaderboard and fraud-prevention purposes.
Your rights
Ask us and we will tell you what we hold against your email hash, and we will delete it. Contact details are in the contact section below.
Terms of service
Last updated: 5 September 2026
- Eligibility. You must be old enough to use cryptocurrency services in your jurisdiction and must have a valid FaucetPay account.
- No earnings promise. Rewards are small, variable and funded entirely by advertising. Nothing here is investment advice and no outcome is promised. Reward ranges change with revenue.
- One account per person. Claiming from multiple emails, IPs, devices or through proxies to exceed the cooldown is abuse and results in a ban without payout.
- Ad-funded service. Claiming requires ads to load. We may pause or end the service at any time, including when the reward pool runs low.
- Fair use. Automated access of any kind — bots, scripts, headless browsers, solvers, macros — is prohibited. Detected attempts are logged and blocked.
- Third-party links. Sponsor and advertiser destinations are not under our control and are visited at your own risk.
- Liability. The service is provided as-is. Our total liability is limited to the value of rewards actually credited to you in the preceding 30 days.
- Changes. We may update these terms; continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
Fair use & anti-abuse
Plainly stated, so nobody is surprised:
- One claim per person per 5 minutes, enforced on both email and IP.
- Three failed human-checks in a row triggers a 30-minute cool-off for that IP.
- VPN, proxy, Tor and datacenter IP ranges are blocked.
- Requests from known automation libraries, headless browsers and crawlers are refused.
- Completing the steps implausibly fast flags the claim for manual review.
- Honeypot fields that only a bot would fill result in an immediate block.
None of this affects normal use. It exists so the reward pool reaches real people instead of scripts. If you believe you were blocked in error, contact us and we will review it.
Still stuck?
Send us your masked email (yo***@e***.com format) and the transaction ID or time of the claim, and we will check the logs. We answer everything.
