Webcam darts explained

What is webcam darts?

What is webcam darts?

Webcam darts is competitive online darts played with mandatory live video. Both players aim their webcam at their dartboard at home, connect through a platform like Moneydarts, and play standard X01 darts while watching each other throw in real time. It is the closest thing to playing at a pub — from anywhere in the world.

How does competitive webcam darts work?

Each player sets up a webcam aimed at their dartboard. You find an opponent in the lobby or tournament, the video call starts automatically, and you play X01 (501, 301) darts while both players see each other on screen. After each turn you enter your visit score. The live scoreboard updates for both players in real time.

How do I enter my score?

After each turn (3 darts), you enter your total visit score (0-180). Quick-tap buttons are available for common scores. The scoreboard updates live for both players.

Can I play against a specific friend?

Yes. Create a private match and invite your friend by username. They receive a notification and can accept or decline. You can also share a direct match link.

What happens if I disconnect during a match?

A reconnect grace period of 60 seconds is available. If you reconnect in time, the match continues. If not, the match may be forfeited or cancelled depending on the state.

Tournaments

Organized competition

How do tournaments work?

Tournaments use a bracket system. Register for a tournament, wait for it to fill or reach the start time, then play your matches in order. Winners advance through the bracket until a champion is crowned.

Can I create my own tournament?

Yes. Any verified player can create a tournament. Choose the number of players (4-64), entry fee, start mode (when full or at a scheduled time), and minimum players required.

What happens to the entry fees?

Entry fees are held in your account balance during the tournament. The winner receives the full prize pool minus the rake percentage. If the tournament is cancelled, all fees are refunded.

Can I leave a tournament after registering?

Yes, you can unregister before the tournament starts. Your entry fee is refunded immediately.

Fair play

Trust and verification

Is webcam mandatory?

Yes, for competitive matches. Both players see each other via live video during the match. This prevents score manipulation and creates a real pub darts atmosphere.

What if I suspect cheating?

You can open a dispute after any match. Provide a description of the issue and evidence. Human moderators review the case and make a fair ruling.

How are disputes resolved?

Moderators review the video evidence, score history, and player reports. Rulings are final. Repeated violations can result in temporary restrictions or account suspension.
