Drag host Danny Stafford offers 7 reasons to check out Bingocams
Online gaming with a human face, Bingocams is an innovative way to play bingo online. It’s unique selling point is that players can appear via webcam and interact with hosts, who also appear via webcam and offer advice, guidance and chat during play.
The site has a growing following around Europe including plenty of LGBT fans, as testified by host Aaron Watts, who also presides over games as his drag alter ego, Danny Stafford.
Aaron is a trained actor, who began a drag career after a one-year stint in a production of the Rocky Horror Show after studying drama in Manchester. His career as an actor, backing singer and female impersonator has taken him all over the world, including stints in the US and Hollywood.
Here are his reasons why Bingocams is worth a gamble…
1. You can win money; sometimes big money
Bingocams offers a multitude of different gaming rooms, with prizes ranging from less than £5 upwards.
‘We’ve got so many different rooms and events, and you get anything from 10 players in a room to 700-800 for a special events. I do a show as Danny once a week every Friday, so that’s always busy,’ says Aaron.
‘The prizes are different in every room. The last big one I did, someone won £1,000 every month for a year. Last Friday I did a rollover – and that was about £3,500 in that room – it’s all different depending on what rooms you go in. Someone won about £14,000 a month ago, so big money.’
2. You don’t have to deposit money to participate
‘The biggest selling point,’ says Aaron, ‘is that you don’t have to make a deposit when you join up, but you still get all the functions free – such as chatting live to each other through the video links. There are a few rooms that you can enter only if you make a deposit, but I’d say about 80% of the site you don’t have to deposit.’
3. Players can take part via webcam, so you can see other players and they can see you
‘But people can pick and choose whether they want to appear on screen or not. They can have an avatar or a live webcam. And we can also see them when they win. Many people play anonymously, but when they realize how easy it is to play via webcam, they give it a go and play that way.’
4. You can enjoy webcam footage of players winning
Bingocams keeps an archive of webcam footage of people who have won and who are happy to share their online delight with others. Watching others realize that they just won big money can be strangely addictive!
5. Danny Stafford adds some camp humor to the proceedings
Chat hosts provide entertainment, advice and a human face to the site. One of the most popular is Aaron, who hosts as himself four times a week and offers a show as Danny Stafford once a week.
‘It’s 50-50 that they cotton on Danny is actually me,’ says Aaron. ‘The players that have been on a while know it’s me, but the new players think, “I know that voice!” When I’m hosting as myself, they talk about Danny as if it’s another person. Of course, all the other players think that’s funny. It happens every week.’
6. It’s a new way of meeting people
‘People meet up all the time,’ says Aaron. ‘Especially if they live quite near each other. They get together and post photos and videos on our Facebook www.facebook.com/bingocamsUK?fref=ts . We say it’s not a dating site, but people do meet up.’
7. There are regular special promotions and deals, plus the opportunity to earn loyalty points or take part in free games
These include a £5 sign-up bonus, plus a 300% welcome deposit bonus (i.e. deposit £10 and they’ll give you a £30 bonus to play with and familiarize yourself with the site). Anyone who films a ‘live win’ moment and allows Bingocams to use the footage gets an extra 15% on their winnings.
Due to territorial gaming laws, Bingocams is only accessible in certain countries. For advice on responsible gambling, check here.
