Casino Webcam Review

Updated March 19 2008

Just when you thought Casinos couldn't get any more realistic, Casino Webcam arrived on the casino scene and presented players with a very unique, novel and cool new place to play. That was nearly two years ago and Casino Webcam has proved that it is here to stay.

So what's the attraction you may ask? Casino Webcam offers you something that no other casino does: the opportunity to play live games over the internet while watching everything that's going on right on your screen via a webcam. Yep, that means real dealers and real games right in the comfort of your home. The casino uses real time streaming to bring you the action where you can hear the dealers, dice and reactions. You can also chat with the dealers while you are playing which makes it all the more realistic and entertaining!

Welcome Bonus and Promotional Offerings

You would think that being so unique, Casino Webcam would not need to offer promotions and bonuses, but they do! As a new player at Casino Webcam you will be offered a 100% match bonus on your first deposit up to $150. It doesn't stop here either, they also offer a 50% bonus on your second deposit up to $150...not bad to get started, but please note that terms and conditions do apply and the wagering requirements of 35 times the bonus and deposit amount is a little steep, so you might not want to accept everything that comes your way!

In addition to the welcome bonus, Casino Webcam also offers a VIP Bonus which you will be eligible for when you become a VIP member. In essence, this is a high roller bonus where if you deposit $500-$1000 in one week you will receive 30% more.

There is also an all day, every day Neteller bonus where you get a 15% NETeller Deposit Bonus up to $1000 per month on all Neteller deposits as well as $15 Wednesdays where you receive an additional $15 when you play. Of course, terms and conditions do apply for all promotions.

Download and Registration

Casino Webcam is a browser based Internet casino which means that it runs in your browser and you have to visit the website to log in and out of the casino. Nevertheless, you still have to download a small casino software package from the casino site to be able to make the casino work properly but this doesn't take long at all and is easy to do.

Banking

Casino Webcam only accepts US Dollar transactions and does so via Credit Card, Firepay, Neteller, 900pay, Check, Bank Draft, and Wire Transfer. The minimum deposit is $20.

The only downside of this operation is that there is a $5000 a month withdrawal limit, which doesn't help if you hit it big. These limits can however be waived if you are a loyal customer, or as the casino terms it "if they are comfortable with the customer".

I deposited $100 via Neteller, which was credited to my account straight away and then it was off to play some games...

Games Offering

Casino Webcam, for obvious reasons has a limited number of games on offer, 4 to be exact, including sic bo, baccarat, blackjack, and roulette...sorry slots fans, it's just not possible to offer live dealers on slots!

I started off at the blackjack table where the minimum bet was $5 and soon found out that they do make provisions for high rollers with a maximum betting limit of $1000 per hand. It's really great to be able to see, hear and interact with someone while playing and the atmosphere was awesome! I really had a lot of fun doing this and time seemed to pass so quickly, but I realised that I had played for a solid two hours (I had a lot of good hands) when the dealer was replaced by a new dealer, and when it comes to this, just like at brick and mortar casinos, I've learnt to move on and so it was off to the roulette table.

I found that the table was a European style, single roulette wheel, so even if you lose here, it's not as bad as if you've been playing at a table with an American Roulette wheel. Again, the betting ranges are quite impressive and range from $5 and up to $200 on some tables and others from $50 up to $1000. The thing that makes this the most fun is that it is possible to see the wheel being spun live by the beautiful (yes guys, the dealers really are beautiful) and friendly croupier. You can also chat with the croupier and other players while playing which really adds to the entertainment. I actually ended up winning $500 on the roulette table and decided to try Baccarat but being very new to the game and not knowing all of the ins and outs, I ended up losing over $300. That put me off playing Sic Bo as I've never played that either, so I went back to the blackjack tables but found the $5 table to be full so had to play higher limit hands which was fun but really tore through the money fast!

Fairness

Something that you don't have to worry about at Casino Webcam is fairness and random number generators, because just like brick and mortar casinos, you can see what's happening at all times. And if that's not enough, the following also applies:

Card Games: Every new deck of cards is checked to ensure that there are four suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades), and that each suit has 13 cards (ace through king). Decks are removed from service and burned periodically as directed by the Pitbosses.

Non-Card Games: All of gaming equipment at Casino Webcam has been procured from world famous manufacturers such as John Huxley & Sons, and is regularly tested to ensure random outcomes.

Customer Support

Customer support at Casino Webcam is available via e-mail and e-mails are typically answered within 24 hours or less.

The Verdict

This casino is definitely a place to try out, even if it's purely for the experience. I really had a great deal of fun here and will definitely be visiting here every now and again to spend some time chatting to the dealers and enjoying the atmosphere of the casino...perhaps I'll see you there!
