Free Crypto Site Asks for a Deposit to Withdraw
This page focuses on a free-crypto-site withdrawal trap. The user already sees a balance or reward and is being asked to deposit before withdrawal.
Most faucet rewards are tiny. FaucetPay can help you collect small payouts from supported faucets, PTC sites and reward platforms in one microwallet before withdrawing later.
Set up FaucetPay to collect small rewards →Withdrawal trap
A free reward should not require the user to send money first just to unlock a withdrawal.
Common wording
Sites may describe the deposit as verification, tax, activation, gas or account unlocking.
What to do
Do not pay. Save screenshots and leave the site if the reward depends on a deposit.
Different from offerwall unlocks
An offerwall can use its own task system, but a crypto deposit demand is still a serious warning sign.
Be careful with websites that promise unrealistic rewards, ask for deposits before withdrawal, or require suspicious wallet connections. Small reward sites should never need your seed phrase.
