BingoCams brings something completely different to the world of bingo online, web cam bingo but even if you prefer not to have all an sundry gawping at you if you are a winner at this site, well that’s your choice, it’s not a must when you register that you have a webcam. The homepage of BingoCams is packed with information, probably a little too busy for my taste, but there is also a welcome video that tells you a little bit about what the site has to offer.
How to register? Well that was interesting! There isn’t the usual big “Play Now” or “Join Now” button but a tiny “create account” link at the top of the page above the login box. The registration process is pretty straightforward and once your account is created you can login and are taken straight to your Personal Page. Here you can complete details about yourself, see you current balance and view any of your Live Win moments.
To enter bingo simply click the link from the left hand menu “Go to Bingo Rooms”. This will open a new screen where you will see all the rooms currently open at Bingo Cams. The lobby shows a realm of information about each room – time until next game, card price, the last full house jackpot, the room jackpot, maximum card purchase allowed, the number of players in the room, how many players have their web cams on, how many of your “buddies” are online and whether a live host is in the room. The latter is depicted by a star. There are also a selection of tabs with the tickets prices as options; 5p rooms, 10p, 25p, 50p, £1 and £2.50. This gives you the option to play in rooms that suit your budget.
Once in a room you will notice that the layout is completely different to that found at many online bingo sites. The bingo cards appear at the top of the screen with the game details to the left of your cards. A chat room list with the players in the room appears to the right of your screen and the chat room, with a small window showing the live chat host, shows at the bottom of the screen. The purchase of bingo tickets is done using the slider to the left of your screen or alternatively you can click the tickets you wish to buy.
If you’re a lover of reality TV then you may well be really impressed with BingoCams – you get to watch the live chat hosts (although sometimes it isnt that impressive) and you can see your fellow roomies when they win or are playing for the Bouncing Bonus. It definitely makes quite interesting viewing and is a break from the norm of just watching your bingo tickets. One thing we would suggest is adjusting your sound options by using the little speaker symbol at the bottom of the screen near your balance. With the music, the bingo caller and the live chat host it can all get a little busy!
BingoCams brings something unique to the world of online bingo and if that’s what you are looking for then it’s well worth a visit.
Pros
