This post is out-of-date; ES-Faucets and ESPTCO recently added paid membership requirement at $2.99 per month; I am no longer recommending until I am sure it is easy to pay for the membership by being active on the website. The following is for historical purposes, and in case it helps anyone who has already paid for the membership.

ES-Faucets, and the linked site ESPTCO, offer a variety of ways to earn cryptocurrencies online. ES-Faucets offers a large number of faucets, for a variety of different cryptocurrencies, in one place, and a variety of ways to earn bonuses on your claims. ESPTCO offers paid-to-click ads, videos, and a variety of offerwalls. Between the large number of faucets in one place and the bonuses, ES-Faucets is among the higher paying faucet websites. The paid-to-click ads, videos, and offerwalls give you even more ways to earn cryptocurrency. The TheoremReach surveys in particular can pay a lot. If you want to see a payment proof, please scroll to near the bottom of this page.

Remember to disable any proxies, VPNs, and adblockers while using the ES-Faucets and ESPTCO. However, malware blockers are probably okay, and you probably do want HTTPS Everywhere for security purposes. For further details on how to configure a browser or browser profile to use with ES-Faucets, ESPTCO, and other faucets and crypto-earning sites, see my guide on the subject.

The Faucets

There are 2 faucets that are available from the start, and 16 more that you can unlock, for a total of 18 faucets. All faucets can be unlocked by level 12 in your ESXP levelling process, which makes it much easier to unlock all the faucets than it used to be. The faucets you start with from the beginning are: ES-Coin and Bitcoin. At ESXP level 1, you get Ethereum, Dash, and Zcash. At ESXP level 2, you get Tether and Litecoin. At ESXP level 5, you get Shiba Inu. At ESXP level 6, you get Stellar and Basic Attention Token. At ESXP level 7, you get Bitcoin Cash and Ox. At ESXP level 8, you get Digibyte and Dogecoin. At ESXP level 9, you get Ethereum Classic. At ESXP level 10, you get Ripple. At ESXP level 11, you get Tron. At ESXP level 12, you get Cardano.

These faucets fill up over time - quickly at first, then more gradually as time goes on. So, if you claim very often, you will earn more in a day, but less per minute of your time spent. If you claim less frequently (but still at least once per day), you will earn less in a day, but more per minute of your time spent. The most often you can claim from a faucet is every 30 minutes. Some people find every 8 hours or so to be a good balance. Note that the following screenshot is outdated.

When claiming from any of these 18 faucets, you must solve a hCaptcha captcha to prove you are not a bot.

Also, on the ESPTCO dashboard page, there is an hourly ESCoin bonus, which functions like an extra faucet. It awards 50 ESCoins every time, rather than filling up over time like the others, and does not benefit from bonuses.

Note that, unlike reCAPTCA, motorcycles do not count as bicycles for hCaptcha.

Although, individually, at the beginning at least, these faucets do not pay as much as some other faucets, there are a couple factors that help counteract this: 1) ES-Faucets has a large number of faucets in one place, and free exchanges so you can consolidate your earnings into your preferred cryptocurrency or currencies, and 2) there are many bonuses you can get which will increase your earnings from the faucets over time. Between the bonuses, and numerous faucets, and the free exchanges, Es-Faucets ends up being one of the higher paying faucet websites. (Please note that the free exchanges are meant for consolidating your earnings to your favorite cryptocurrencies, not for day trading, and they have apparently been banning people they believe are using the exchanges for day trading, so please do not use the exchanges on Es-Faucets to day trade.)

The easiest bonus to build up, assuming you are able to claim at least once per day, is the daily bonus. If you claim at least once a day for 100 days, you can reach the max of 100% daily bonus. Note that you must do this for each individual faucet. A day on ES-Faucets resets at midnight UTC time, so it is possible to go longer than 24 hours without claiming, and still be able to keep/build your daily bonus, for example if you claim right after midnight UTC one day and right before midnight UTC the next. (There are also items in the marketplace, which you can buy using ES-Coins, which allow you to keep your daily bonus after missing or more days, or increment your daily bonus by one, but there are arguably better uses for your ES-Coins.)

Another major bonus is the ES-Coin bonus: you can earn a bonus on your claims just for holding various amounts of ES-Coin in your account. The lower level ES-Coin bonuses are much easier to earn than the higher level ones. For example, a 5% ES-Coin bonus requires only 6000 ESCoins, a 65% ES-Coin bonus requires 900,000 ESCoins, and the maximum ES-Coin bonus, 150%, requires 105,050,000 ESCoins. See the chart below.

There are a variety of ways to increase the amount of ESCoin in your account to earn this bonus, but to list a few for now: the ESCoin faucet, the hourly ESCoin bonus, converting cryptocurrencies from other faucets into ESCoins, and signing up under my referral link. If you do convert cryptocurrencies from other faucets into ESCoins, and later decide you would rather have a cryptocurrency you can withdraw, you can convert ESCoin to your preferred cryptocurrency later. Signing up under my referral link gives both of us 2,500 ESCoins. This will get you almost halfway to the first 5% ESCoin bonus just for using my referral link. If you need to enter my referral code manually for some reason, it is: 04dedca1763d661284d4

Yet another way to increase your faucet earnings is with the ES-XP bonus. Every level of ES-XP bonus gives you an extra 0.25% bonus on your faucet earnings, so level 8 ES-XP, for example, will give you a 2% bonus on your faucet earnings. Every time you level up your ES-XP, you will also get some ESCoins. Each level gives you more ESCoins, but each level also requires more xp points to reach. (For example, to go to level 10 ES-XP from level 9 ES-XP requires 500 xp points.) A major reason to try to get your ES-XP up to at least level 10, even if you aren't otherwise interested in these bonuses, is to unlock most of the faucets and also a weekly bonus. The Dogecoin faucet unlocks at ES-XP level 1. The Basic Attention Token faucet unlocks at ES-XP level 3. There is a weekly bonus that unlocks at ES-XP level 2. The Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum Classic, unlock at level 9, and the Ox and Tron faucets unlock at ES-XP level 10. The Dash faucet doesn't unlock until ES-XP level 62, and the ZCash faucet doesn't unlock until ES-XP level 90 (unless you purchase Onyx membership), so these are much harder to unlock. Note that some of these minimums may increase monthly. However, by the time you do unlock the ZCash faucet (assuming you don't get the Onyx membership), you will have a 22.5% or higher bonus on your claims just from your ES-XP level. Every faucet claim you make will give you one xp - not a whole ES-XP level, just one xp point towards the next level. Same with each PTC ad you click on or video ad you watch (and successfully complete the captcha). Some but not all offers will also award xp points. For some more information about the ES-XP levelling system, please see this blog post.

You can also get a bonus on your faucet earnings from doing offers. According to the FAQ, only higher paying and not lower paying offers should count for this, but in practice, I have notice that special offers count, and Offerwall offers do not count, regardless of whether it is a high paying or low paying offer. In any case, this bonus resets at the beginning of every month. I got a 2% offer bonus in November just from doing 2 special offers, which paid 50 satoshi each, to subscribe to specific Youtube channels, take screenshots, submit the screenshots to EsFaucets, and wait for a person to confirm that I had completed the offers.

There are also claim bonuses for memberships, but considering how many ESCoins the memberships cost, I am not sure whether it is worth it.

Sample faucet claims

To reduce clutter in this review and guide, I have moved the sample faucet claims to another blog post, "Sample claims from Es-Faucets". If you're wondering what ES-Faucet's claim rates are, I hope that blog post gives you at least a general idea.

Weekly bonus

Once you reach ES-XP level 2, there is a weekly bonus you can claim. You can find it under Earn -> Bonuses on the left side menu from the Faucets dashboard. This weekly bonus gives you extra ESCoins, and will increase with the various bonuses you earn. See, for example:

Paid-to-click Advertisements (PTC ads)

If you go to the left-hand menu of your Faucets dashboard, click on "More From Us", and then click on "ESPTCO", you can find the linked site ESPTCO, which is where you can claim your hourly ESCoin bonus, click on PTC ads, watch video ads, and find the various offerwalls. ESPTCO uses the same login as ESFaucets.

The PTC ads are paid it satoshi (tiny fractions of a bitcoin), are very easy, and will likely pay you much more than the bitcoin / satoshi faucet if you are a frequent claimer. (But if you claim like once a day, more or less often depending on your bonuses, one faucet claim might be like one PTC ad view.) Each PTC ad typically pays somewhere between 6 and 15 satoshi, and takes 10-20 seconds to view. However, each PTC ad has a 24 hour cooldown. Sometimes they appear throughout the day. The number of PTC ads available to click on varies from day to day.

After viewing each PTC ad, you have to solve either an hCaptcha or an ReCAPTCHA for credit.

Here is an example of what an hCaptcha looks like.

Here is a sample of some of my earnings from the PTC ads.

Video Ads

Also on ESPTCO are a number of video ads. As of the time I am writing this, there are usually between 5 and 6 video ads available every day, and each has a 24 hour cooldown before you can watch it again. Five of them are cute cat videos. They usually take 60 seconds each to watch, not counting time spend solving the captchas. They typically pay between 448 and 616 ESCoins each, making this a good way to work on leveling up your ES-Coin bonus.

After viewing each video ad, you have to solve either an hCaptcha or an ReCAPTCHA for credit.

Here is a sample of some of my earnings from the videos.

Offer walls and Special offers

ESPTCO offers a variety of offerwalls. Some of these are the same offerwalls you are also likely to see on other cryptocurrency earning websites. The three most popular offerwalls on ESPTCO, as of the time I am writing this, are Bitswall, AsiaMag, and Theorem Reach, in that order. Bitswall is low paying, but very fast and very easy, and effectively functions as a second pay-to-click section. AsiaMag is also fairly fast, easy, and low-paying, though not to the same extreme as Bitswall. (I am not sure whether to classify AsiaMag as safe for work. I have not seen p**n on it yet, but I did see some ads that came close.) Theorem Reach is a much higher paying, survey style offerwall.

Two offerwalls I enjoyed in the past, but do not currently recommend, are Jungle Offers and Offertoro. Lately, I have difficulty getting credit for these offerwalls. Jungle Offers seems particularly sneaky, seeming to give credit, and then issuing a chargeback, sometimes as many as 5 days later. Jungle Offers support was not helpful, and blamed me for the problem without saying what the problem was, but given the offerwall's current low level of popularity, I suspect I am not the only one who has had this issue. I noticed while doing their offer that part of it, the part where you are supposed to click on an article, either at the end of the offer or halfway through, sometimes fails to display the offer you click on. I suspect, but do not know, that even though there is some coding error on their end preventing this feature from working correctly, the fraud-detection system falsely blames the users, issuing large numbers of chargebacks for something that is not the users' faults. Offertoro does seem to offer some sort of dispute resolution feature, but if you want to use it, I suggest you record yourself doing their offers, and upload your recordings to Youtube.

There are also special offers, not part of the usual offerwalls, which give an offer bonus for your faucet claims. I mentioned earlier that I did two in November that just involved subscribing to Youtube channels and offering screenshots as evidence. These paid 50 satoshi each, as shown below.

And here you can see the 2% bonus applied to my faucet earnings after my completion of those offers was verified.

And here are some sample rewards from TheoremReach surveys. TheoremReach surveys often give partial credit even when you are disqualified from the survey. The small rewards are from the surveys I was disqualified from, and the large rewards are from ones I successfully completed.

Here is an example of some earnings from AsiaMag, dated January 1, 2021.

Referrals

If you are good at introducing EsFaucets and ESPTCO to your friends and family, this offers another way to earn. When someone signs up under your referral link, each of you gets 2,500 ESCoin. (They can also enter your referral code.) Additionally, you will earn 20% of their faucet claims. (They still get 100%, so EsFaucets pays 120%.)

My referral link is:

https://es.btcnewz.com/auth/register?ref=04dedca1763d661284d4

and I have included it in my review and guide. Also, my referral code is: 04dedca1763d661284d4

I believe you can still use my referral code if you neglected to use a referral link while signing up. If you do not use a referral link or a referral code, then ESFaucets will place you in a pool of users who are for sale as referrals, if you are deemed active enough to be included in that pool.

Are ESFaucets and ESPTCO safe for work?

In so far as I haven't seen any p**n on ESFaucets or ESPTCO, yes. I have never seen any p*** in the PTC ads or video ads either, although I suppose there is always a risk the site's curators could miss something. However, since I haven't ever seen any not safe for work content in the PTC ads or video ads, I believe the site's curators do a good job keeping them clean. I have not explored all the offerwalls, and I am specifically unsure about Asiamag. Although I haven't seen p*** on Asiamag, I did see some ads that came close there. Using ESFaucets and ESPTCO while at work is probably a bad idea for other reasons - you should probably be focused on your job while at work (then again, maybe you spend a lot of time waiting for customers to walk in) - but there are other reasons someone might ask this, like if they sometimes use the computer while their family is around, or if they have very strong religious, moral, or emotional objections to content that is not generally considered safe for work.

Coinbase/Ethereum payment proof

Note that you do not need a Coinbase account in order to withdraw to Coinbase. You can withdraw direct to a wallet on the blockchain. However, taking ethereum as an example, the minimum withdrawal amount to Coinbase is higher than the minimum withdrawal amount to a wallet on the blockchain, and there is no withdrawal fee for withdrawing to Coinbase (although there may be rounding errors), but there is if you wish to withdraw to a wallet on the blockchain.

Summary

ESFaucets and ESPTCO are great sites for earning cryptocurrency, offering a variety of ways to earn, including many faucets, some PTC ads and video ads, and a variety of offerwalls, as well as a variety of bonuses you can earn over time. However, be sure to keep your account secure, and remember to disable and proxies, VPNs, or adblockers while using ESFaucets and ESPTCO.
