Why Lightning changes how you play

Most places that take Bitcoin still make you wait for on-chain confirmations and pay a network fee that can be bigger than a small bet. The Lightning Network removes both problems. A deposit lands in seconds, a withdrawal goes out in seconds, and a 100-sat top-up does not get eaten by fees. That is the whole pitch: Bitcoin that moves at the speed of a game.

Lightning Faucet is built around it. Your balance is in satoshis, every bet is in satoshis, and you never convert to dollars along the way.

The games you can play

Every game below runs on the same balance, so you can move between tables without topping up again.

  • Roulette: a single-zero European wheel. Bets start at 1 sat.
  • Dice: pick a target, go over or under, and chase multipliers up to 9,500x on a single roll. Bets start at 5 sats.
  • Blackjack: a six-deck shoe with double and split. Bets start at 10 sats.
  • Baccarat: Punto Banco. Player and Tie bets start at 1 sat, Banker at 20 sats.
  • Slots: three reels, wagers from 1 sat.
  • Poker: multiplayer Texas Hold'em on Lightning, with seats from 100 sats.

Provably fair, and you can check it yourself

You should not have to trust a game just because it says it is fair. Each result here comes from HMAC-SHA256 of a server seed, your client seed and a nonce that goes up with every bet. The hash of the server seed is shown before you play. When you rotate your seed, the old one is revealed, and you can paste it into the provably fair checker to reproduce every bet it covered.

Start with free sats, then deposit when you are ready

You can try the games before you put anything in. The daily scratchcard and the weekly free spin pay sats to your balance, and those sats work at the tables. When you want more action, tap Deposit, pay a Lightning invoice from any Lightning wallet, and you are playing as soon as it confirms. The minimum deposit is 100 sats.

If you also like betting on real events, the same balance works on sports and Bitcoin price markets.

Getting your sats back out

Withdrawals are paid as an LNURL-withdraw QR code that any Lightning wallet can scan, and the minimum withdrawal is 100 sats. Withdrawals unlock after a first deposit of just 100 sats. Need a wallet first? The guide to Lightning wallets for beginners covers the easy options, and how to deposit with Lightning walks through your first top-up.

Play small and keep it fun

Pick stakes you are happy to lose and treat your balance as entertainment money. Our guide to setting limits is worth two minutes before your first session.
