SlutRoulette
Overview
SlutRoulette applies the Chatroulette idea to live cams: you are paired at random with a performer and can skip to the next with one click. It has been around since 2010, draws millions of visits a month, and lets you narrow the randomness with around twenty categories. Watching is free at the basic level. The concept is fun, and there is no shortage of performers online. The experience around it is the problem. Recent testing found sign-up redirecting to a sister site, logins and password resets failing, and pop-ups and overlay notifications interrupting the video. Without a working account, chat and cam-to-cam are out of reach, and registering brings a stream of promotional emails with misleading subject lines.
The good
- Simple, addictive random-match format
- Many performers online at any time
- Categories to narrow down what you see
- Free basic viewing
The bad
- Sign-up and login are unreliable
- Intrusive pop-ups and overlays over the video
- Aggressive promotional emails
- Chat features need an account that may not work
Conclusion
SlutRoulette has a good idea at its heart, and it can be entertaining as a quick, free way to browse cams. The technical problems and heavy-handed marketing make it hard to recommend for regular use. Other cam sites offer a smoother ride.
