Bingocams Review

“Live bingo at its best” is the slogan of Bingocams, a site that was established in 2011. By the looks of it, 2011 was also the last time this site was updated. Put it this way, this certainly isn't the slickest or coolest site on the web you will ever encounter. Nevertheless, there appears to be a lively and active bingo community in place at Bingocams which has a reasonable Facebook following and even maintains a Google Plus page for which it deserves some kind of commendation. The site also has a YouTube channel, even if it hasn't seen any action in a year. If you're super bored, however, you might want to check out the YouTube channel just so you can lol at some of the Bingocams chat hosts.

The design of Bingocams can best be described as ‘busy’ with all kinds of menu options in the left hand sidebar and across the top header. There is a danger of information overload while browsing Bingocams. Still, if you can navigate your way around the site without getting hopelessly lost or distracted you'll find that, like many other UK sites, it offers a range of 90 and 75-ball bingo primarily with a side order of slots and instant win games.

About Bingocams

Despite the fact that its logo features a webcam, a notice to the side of this states that no webcam is required. That's reassuring to know. Regardless, the site appears to be relatively busy with a rolling ticker that displays the number of players online and the number of active webcams. It would appear to be the case that players are encouraged but not required to stream their bingo play live because what could be more exciting than watching other people sit in a darkened room playing bingo?

Bingocams is operated by Dazzletag Entertainment, a company who are based in Malta and were founded in 2010. They are licensed and regulated by the Great Britain Gambling Commission. Bingocams bills itself as the best webcam bingo site, a niche which it is fair to say there isn't a whole lot of competition for. If you require customer support while playing at the site you can speak to them via live chat or by using the contact form that is provided.

Banking at Bingocams

When you're ready to deposit funds into a newly created playing account at Bingocams, you can choose from Visa or MasterCard as credit or debit card. The site also accepts Maestro, Solo, Skrill, Neteller and Paysafecard. The minimum withdrawal amount is £10 and the site states that it will take 3 to 5 working days for funds to be credited to your account although ewallet should be quicker. Payouts apparently take one working day to be processed in most cases. In some instances Bingocams may request proof of address or photo identification before your withdrawal request is processed.

Bingo Bonuses

New players at Bingocams are entitled to a £5 bingo bonus. This is accompanied by a 300% first deposit bonus. There is a 4x wagering requirement before any bingo cash can be withdrawn. The maximum amount that can be dispensed by way of a first deposit bonus is £150. The webcam element of Bingocams comes into play when the site offers 15% extra for players who live stream the winning moment as they scoop the full house prize. This enables the site to use the footage for promotional purposes and enables players to have a laugh at other players’ expense.

To find out more about promotions and offers available at Bingocams you’d be advised to sign up for the site’s newsletter. There are various seasonal and weekly promotions that are worth checking out and there is also some kind of loyalty scheme in place at the site which awards players status points. The more bingo cards you purchase, the more status points you will earn. The scheme seems complex and needlessly convoluted but in summary the more status points you acquire the greater the rewards you will receive.

Bingo Specialists

Bingocams specialises in 90 and 75-ball bingo. That is not surprising, for these are the types of games that you'll find at bingo sites all over the web especially those marketed towards British-based players. Players are encouraged to purchase multiple tickets for games if they would like to maximise their prospects of winning. Due to the nature of the way Bingocams works, whenever you win a prize your profile picture will be displayed to everyone else on the site. Moreover, if you have a webcam that is activated then other players will be able to see you celebrating your win.

If that happens to be you and you're happy for your image and likeness to be used in such a manner, be sure to have a special celebratory dance on standby for when that moment occurs. It should be noted that it is not mandatory for players to have their webcam activated to play at the site. A section labelled Live Win Moments enables players to look back at some of the most memorable moments in the history of Bingocams. In addition to big jackpot games, there are chat games moderated by the Bingocams CMs where players can converse with one another while competing for low value prizes.

Roulette and More

Unusually for a British bingo website, there is a small live casino that enables players to enjoy roulette, baccarat, blackjack, Ra Roulette and Golden Ball Roulette all hosted by real dealers. This is nice to see and is in keeping with the interactive element that is an integral part of Bingocams. There’s also a selection of slots to be played at Bingocams including such titles as Tomb Raider, Rabbit in the Hat, Starburst and Jack and the Beanstalk.

These include various branded slots and it's good to see a number of major developers such as Microgaming and NetEnt represented. In addition to slots there's a selection of table games to play which is heavy on roulette. There’s also room for craps and a selection of other games including multi wheel roulette and various video poker titles such as Deuces Wild and All American Double.

Bingocams Conclusion

Bingocams certainly isn’t the coolest bingo site on the web, that can be said for certain. Despite the dated design of the site however it does have a certain strange appeal, not least due to the prospect of ogling other players’ live win moments. While this may feel strange, if nothing else it makes a change from the usual cookie cutter bingo sites out there, all of which looks near identical. The fact that there are some genuinely good slots and live casino games is also commendable. Despite its unprepossessing exterior, Bingocams proves to be far better than first impressions would suggest.
