In short
- FaucetPay is a micro-wallet: sites send small payouts to your FaucetPay account, and you withdraw to your own wallet when the total is worth it.
- It exists because tiny on-chain payments are often uneconomic, or impossible.
- It is custodial, meaning FaucetPay holds the coins until you withdraw. Protect the account and don't keep large balances there.
- To receive from a site you give it your FaucetPay username or email. Never your password.

What is FaucetPay
FaucetPay is a micro-payment wallet used by many faucets, faucet games and task sites. Instead of sending each tiny payout to a blockchain address, a site sends it to your FaucetPay account. Those transfers are recorded inside FaucetPay, so they don't need a network fee each time. When your balance is large enough, you withdraw to a wallet you control and pay one network fee instead of many.
FaucetPay also keeps a directory of sites that pay through it. Treat any directory as a starting point, not an endorsement: being listed doesn't mean a site is good, and you should still read each site's rules yourself.
Why games and faucets pay through a micro-wallet
There are two reasons, and both are about how blockchains handle very small amounts:
- Fees. Every on-chain transaction pays a network fee. On many networks that fee is larger than a typical faucet payout.
- Minimum amounts. Some networks won't relay very small outputs (often called dust), and some, like the XRP Ledger, require a reserve before a new address can hold any XRP at all.
A micro-wallet absorbs both problems. For you, it means you can collect from several sites in one place and decide yourself when it's worth moving the coins out.
Setting up FaucetPay safely
- Sign up on the official site. Type the address yourself or use a bookmark. Lookalike phishing sites are common for popular crypto services, and search ads are a favorite trick.
- Use a unique, strong password, ideally from a password manager.
- Turn on two-factor authentication if it's offered. It is the best single protection for a custodial account.
- Confirm your email and keep access to it: that's how you recover the account.
- Read the current fees and withdrawal minimums on FaucetPay itself. They differ per coin and change over time, so don't rely on figures quoted on third-party blogs.
- Set up a personal wallet for the coins you plan to keep, and withdraw to it regularly.
Receiving payouts from a game
The flow is the same on most sites:
- Create your FaucetPay account first.
- In the game's settings or withdrawal page, enter your FaucetPay username or email.
- Request a withdrawal once your balance passes the site's minimum.
- Check the incoming payment in your FaucetPay transaction history.
If a payout doesn't arrive, check that you entered the right username or email and picked the right coin, then contact the site's support with the time and amount. Legitimate sites keep a record of every payout they send.
How DeepCore pays to FaucetPay
DeepCore pays crypto only through FaucetPay. You set your FaucetPay username or email once in Settings, and the same destination is used for every coin. The rules, straight from the game:
- Coins: Litecoin, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and Tron. Your miners earn in whichever of the 5 crypto pools you join.
- Minimum: 0.00002 of the coin you withdraw.
- New accounts: your account must be at least 3 days old and your email confirmed before the first crypto withdrawal. It's an anti-fraud rule; you can play and earn from day one.
- Changing your destination: if you change your FaucetPay username or email later, withdrawals pause for 48 hours. That protects you if someone ever gets into your session.
- What can't be withdrawn: NUG, the in-game currency. It has no cash value. Only the crypto your miners earn in a pool can be withdrawn.
You don't need FaucetPay to start playing, only to withdraw, so many players set it up during their first 3 days while they forge their first miners. Create a free DeepCore account, or read the payout questions in the FAQ.
Common mistakes to avoid
- A typo in your username or email. Double-check it before you save it anywhere.
- Treating a micro-wallet as savings. It is a convenient middle layer, not a bank. Move what you want to keep to your own wallet.
- Forgetting a memo or destination tag when you withdraw to an exchange (XRP is the classic case). Follow the exchange's deposit instructions exactly.
- Picking the wrong network when an exchange lists several for the same coin.
- Chasing every site in a directory. A few transparent sites you enjoy beat dozens of ad-heavy ones.
