[Update #28, May 25th, 2016 - MonsterBTC hasn't paid out since they were added to our list, the site is now offline. Removed it from our list. - Bryan]
[Update #27, May 6th, 2016 - Added MonsterBTC, the new highest-paying faucet by a lot. Updated the amounts paid out by FreeBitco.in and FreeDogeco.in, which have decreased because of the rise in Bitcoin. - Bryan]
Bitcoins are all over the headlines, but did you know there are websites that pay out "free" Bitcoins for visiting them or doing tasks? They're called Bitcoin faucets, and they're a great way for you to get into Bitcoins without mining, wiring money to a Bitcoin exchange, or buying through LocalBitcoins.
Before we get to the faucets, Bitcoin is a virtual cryptocurrency—I penned a Bitcoin primer a while back if you're looking for more information. Bitcoin faucets aren't going to make you rich, but these are faucets I can personally attest pay out when and how they say they will.
Most of these faucets work by paying out tiny fractions of a Bitcoin in exchange for loading a page full of ads or for watching videos. I've also listed sites that pay Bitcoins in exchange for doing crowd-sourced tasks.
I've broken the list up into several sections: My Favorite Faucets, The Microwallet Collection, Other Faucets, and Faucets with Caveats and Warnings.

For Dogecoin faucets, download the Dogecoin wallet.
