How attractive is the Slot Academy of BingBong?

Slot Academy has been available at the German online casino BingBong for a few weeks now. At first glance, you might think that this is a conventional casino stream. And indeed: so-called "slot lecturers" present live streams on the subject of gambling. However, these are not the kind of streams that gamblers know from Twitch. We took a closer look at the Slot Academy to find out if this is even legal.

In May 2022, BingBong and JackpotPiraten were the first two online casinos to receive a German licence for online slots. To date, both casinos are among the market leaders in the legal online gaming market in Germany. The so-called "Slot Academy" has recently been advertised on the BingBong homepage. There are already over 15 instructors who talk about tips and tricks for gambling in live streams.

How does the Slot Academy at BingBong work?

BingBong's Slot Academy offers interesting live streams almost every day. In these "real-time training sessions", the "instructors", as they are called by the casino, explain how to gamble responsibly and which tips and tricks can be useful for this. Of course, it is no secret that the streams are also intended to entertain viewers. For this reason, the headlines of the "training courses" are often very luridly worded. Here is a small selection of current training courses from "mentor" Bastian:

• Bergfest Freespins
• Tuesday morning training
• Thursdays free training

All videos allow users to leave comments and get in touch with the instructors. Upcoming sessions can also be added to your personal diary to be reminded. And if you miss a live stream, you can watch it later in the media centre.

The likes and comments show that the Slot Academy streams are already very popular. It is not uncommon for the number of comments to reach three or even four digits. However, in order to use BingBong's Slot Academy, a free registration is required.

What is the difference between Slot Academy and casino streams?

Basically, there are very few similarities between traditional casino streams, such as those found on Kick.com today, and BingBong's Slot Academy. BingBong's Slot Academy is primarily designed to provide users with useful knowledge about gambling.

Unlike the casino streams, there are no gambling adverts in the Slot Academy. However, the 'lecturers' or 'mentors' do give away free spins to viewers from time to time in the streams. A stream usually lasts no longer than two hours in total. It is also noticeable that the livestreams often contain advertising on the subject of responsible gambling. This includes, in particular, a reference to the minimum age of 18 and the possibility of self-exclusion.
