If you've been on the "free crypto" scene for the past few years, you are no doubt familiar with faucet websites. These platforms will reward with small amounts of crypto for doing things like viewing ads, offerwalls, etc. Let me be quite clear: you're not going to make a ton of money off of these sites. They are good, however, if you like exploring and have some time to kill. With that being said, let me tell you about Crypto Junkie which I have just discovered. Upon first glance at their website, you can tell that there is a lot of dark humor at play. Have a look at the splash page:

Upon closer examination, you can tell that the developers make great use of toilet humor. We must be cut from the same cloth because I find it hilarious. So, instead of a simple heads/tails coin flip game to gamble your Junkie Coins (the platform's native token, which exists only on the platform so far as I can tell), it's a game of having toilet paper or shitting your pants. Genius! I don't know, but I find the vibe on Crypto Junkie to be downright entertaining.

The captchas really got to me. These are usually just mindless and annoying, but these developers make it a good laugh:

At any rate, as you may expect and I have mentioned, there are various things you can do to earn Junkie Coins. There is the "manual fix" faucet, which you can claim every 5 minutes -- up to 85 times a day. There are short links and PTC ads to click through, and the offerwall feature unlocks when you hit level 5. Here's what the main dashboard looks like:

You gain experience points, in addition to Junkie Coins, as you ascend the levels. There is also Junkie Mining, Junkie Wheel, Junkie Dice, and Junkie Lottery in addition to the aforementioned Toilet Bet game. So yeah, if you're sick of the same old faucets, give Crypto Junkie a stab. It's still relatively new, and you can check their TrustPilot page for reviews.

I haven't racked up enough to do a payout yet, but it is worth mentioning that you will need a Faucetpay account for certain coins and a Final AutoClaim account for others. There are only three cryptos available for direct wallet withdrawal:

• Dash
• Litecoin
• Ethereum Classic

Here are the current payout offerings:

Finally, Crypto Junkie also has its own NFT Shop which makes for a good laugh. It appears they have sold one so far.

I've got this faucet in my rotation for now. I will continue to mess with it and see if I can't rack up enough Junkie Coins to try and get a payout. It's at least entertaining, and I certainly can appreciate the humor interlaced.
