Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about Lightning Faucet: Bitcoin, Lightning, games, withdrawals, and KYC.

What is Lightning Faucet?

Lightning Faucet is a Bitcoin platform on the Lightning Network. It combines a free Bitcoin faucet (weekly sats with no purchase required), provably fair casino games (poker, blackjack, slots, roulette, dice, baccarat), and peer-to-peer prediction markets on BTC price and live sports. Everything runs on Bitcoin Lightning so deposits and withdrawals settle in seconds, not hours. No KYC, no document uploads.

How do I earn satoshis (sats) on Lightning Faucet?

There are three earning paths. (1) The free spin: verify your email and claim a weekly spin worth 5-100 sats, with no deposit and no risk. (2) Earn offers: complete short tasks from partners (surveys, app installs) for sats. (3) Game winnings: play poker, prediction markets, or any of the provably fair casino games. Rewards land in your Lightning Faucet balance first. Free-spin winnings are bonus balance: clear the 5x playthrough at roulette, dice, slots or blackjack, and a first deposit unlocks withdrawing them. Offer earnings become withdrawable once your lifetime offer earnings reach 10,000 sats, or from the start if you have withdrawn before. Withdrawals go to your own Lightning wallet and settle in seconds.

Is Lightning Faucet legit?

Yes. Lightning Faucet has been live and paying out Bitcoin since launch, runs on a self-hosted LND Lightning node, and every casino game uses HMAC-SHA256 provably fair seeds that any player can audit. Server seeds are committed before play and revealed afterwards so outcomes cannot be retroactively changed. Withdrawals are processed automatically over Lightning, typically under a minute.

What are prediction markets on Lightning Faucet?

Prediction markets let you bet sats on real-world outcomes, and there are two pricing models, each labelled on the market. Sports markets (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer) are normally fixed odds: the return quoted when you place the bet is locked in for that bet, whatever happens to the line afterwards. Markets that carry no quoted price, including every Bitcoin price market and any sports market listed without one, are pool based: both sides are funded by participants, the live percentages reflect what other players have staked, and once the outcome resolves the winners split the pool in proportion to their stake. Every market settles automatically from public data sources.

How does rakeback work on Lightning Faucet poker?

A small portion of every poker rake is returned to active players. The amount depends on how much you have wagered over a rolling window. Rakeback credits to your balance as withdrawable sats, not as bonus sats, so you can withdraw them immediately to your Lightning wallet without any wagering requirement.

What is the free spin on Lightning Faucet?

The free spin is a weekly Bitcoin reward. Visit /free-spin/, verify your email, and the spin lands a prize between 5 and 100 sats directly into your account. One spin per email per week. The first spin doubles as a frictionless way to create an account; you can also link a Lightning wallet via LNURL-auth instead of using email.

How do I withdraw from Lightning Faucet?

Click Withdraw in the wallet menu, choose an amount, and Lightning Faucet generates an LNURL-withdraw QR code. Scan it with any LNURL-compatible Lightning wallet (Wallet of Satoshi, Phoenix, Zeus, Breez, Blink, BlueWallet; most modern wallets work). On mobile you can tap the QR to open it directly in your wallet, or use Copy LNURL and paste it into your wallet's scan/paste field. Sats arrive in seconds. The minimum withdrawal is 100 sats. A single small deposit is required once before your first withdrawal as an anti-abuse measure, except for earned income: sats earned through Boltwork judging and bug bounties are withdrawable with no deposit at all, and offerwall earnings join them once your lifetime offer earnings reach 10,000 sats or once you have completed any withdrawal before. A small fee may apply when withdrawing deposited funds that have not been wagered; play through your balance to withdraw fee-free.

Is Lightning Faucet free to play?

The free spin and earn-offers are genuinely free, with no deposit required. Casino games and prediction markets require sats to wager (you can fund your account by claiming free spins, completing offers, or depositing). Account creation is free in all cases and does not require KYC, ID upload, or any personal information beyond an email address (or a Lightning-wallet signature, if you prefer wallet auth).

What Lightning wallets work with Lightning Faucet?

For deposits and withdrawals, any Lightning wallet works: Wallet of Satoshi, Phoenix, Muun, Strike, Zeus, Breez, Blink, BlueWallet, and most others. One-tap QR login (LNURL-auth) is supported by Wallet of Satoshi, Phoenix, Zeus, Breez, BlueWallet, Alby, Blixt, and most other modern Lightning wallets. If your wallet supports LNURL-auth (LUD-04), it works.

Does Lightning Faucet require KYC?

No. Lightning Faucet does not collect government ID, selfies, proof of address, or any personal information beyond an email (for the free spin path) or a Lightning-wallet signature (for the wallet auth path). Account recovery uses a one-time recovery code shown at signup. Write it down, that is your only key.
