I tried this site twice once when I was semi-new and again recently. It is tough to get past the fact they only give 30% to models when other sites give much more. I had decent traffic but made so much less than I do on MFC because of the percent the site takes. Not a fan.
4 July 2017 - 8:02Also their minimum payout is dumb. $200 just to do an ach transfer and on top of the minimum they charge $40 just to give you your money. Bad business. MFC is free for US models to ach transfer and the minimum is only $20

Bad site! My friend works there, support doesn't answer on any questions at all ,
1 July 2017 - 18:41The site records prvt sessions of a model without her prior permission, and moreover- the sites puts recorded prvt sessions on other porno sites, so that everyone can watch prvt videos of some model from this site for free!
The default percent of earnings for model is 30 %, but in fact its just 25% , because loading money is not free,- its $5 per one load!!
Also the videostream has problems also!
I get 35%
12 April 2017 - 23:27I get 25%
20 May 2017 - 7:24you know the name of the porn site ?

I just can't get my head around the company taking 70%...I have seen some replies from SM how that percentage is justified but that is just not true...there is not enough traffic or high quality customers to justify that percentage. I am still a new model on SM and my time in private is 25% of online time. That is bad... The percentage they are taking every model shoud be in private atleast 40-60% of time if she tries even a little. But the concept of the page is good...I just thing they should change their policy. Give the model a higher cut or seriously think about where is the money being spent to get customers.
1 June 2017 - 10:43They split 30% to you (35% for the US gals) + 35& and some other promotions to the web master who brought the spender. Annoying is the 3 weeks delay for non US gals.

at first I hated this website I just didn't give it enough time but i tried it out a year later and I loved it .. You can block out regions you live in which is amazing .. I haven't got gold shows yet I don't know how to activate them most of the guys are friendly the only thing that sucks is some guys pop in and out of your chat I'm on daily pay so can't really say anything about payout I love the website easy to get around I can't wait to be able to do gold shows i reckon they are a winner over all good website very worth joining

I really like working on Streamate. I enjoy doing privates and there are some good high paying clients on Streamate. I like that I can write a note near each clients name after a show so I remember something about them and the show I did with them. This site has something to offer everyone. Good for most types of models. I also like that I do not have to have a ton of photos and videos up to get noticed. I appreciate the ban button when I need it too. The only thing that does bug me about SM is that they do have annoying computer glitches sometimes.

I can always count on Streamate to make sure I make some money. The traffic is a bit slow, but it's consistent so I never have to worry about no one being on when I broadcast. I also like that the minimum payout is only $20. However, the cut that Streamate takes is extremely high. The in browser broadcaster is good, but I'm disappointed that the streaming software program still doesn't work on Mac. I've had very minimal problems with the site, but when there has been an issue, the support team has been extremely helpful and prompt. Overall, they take too much of my earnings, but it is still my go to site because of it's reliability.

This company pays like a clock and has a great traffic. Their customer service response is quick, courteous and respectful. I wish that Smbroadcast software was a little easier to use, but I am sure they are still improving it. Otherwise great place to show it all and meet great people.

20 December 2016 - 19:41Hello!
I would like to share with you my story of working with streamate.com
Up to a certain time, everything went smoothly and was excellent. Until one day I received a letter from their support, in which it was written that my account is closed permanently, and I won't get the money I earned making shows.
The letter also says that the account was closed because of fraudulent activity. No explanation, no warning, just terminated my account and blocked all my earned money for a month!
During thrust correspondences with models support I got nothing. I received only automatic messages like "Sorry, your account is closed, you get nothing." Neither my messages, nor messages from my members that spent money on my shows couldn't help me with that situation.
My fight is not over yet, and I'm not going to give up! I am not a scammer, i can prove that! But streamate can't even provide an explanation of the account closure and does not take into consideration my mails and questions.
So i would like to add that this camsite does not protect any rights of their models at all! They care only about the members with money.
Such a sad story. Every model that want to try streamate can get the moral from this story now. At least i warned all of you that such things happen there and I don't think its an uncommon situation.
Anyone faced similar problems? Share your story please!
Streamate and InternetModeling are 1 in the same.

I give support 2 stars. This is one of the main sites that famous pornstars use. I honestly think this has the most insanely wonderful camhosts of all the sites, as far as entertainment. There is some favoritism regarding their partner studios as THOSE gals will get top front regardless of algorithms or metrics.....................Now, this is WHY the traffic situation is different. For anyone who is a webmaster and a customer they revamped the site around 2013 and deny any problems with the revamp. Many of us camgirls were ALSO signed as customers and used to go in and talk to one another. Since the revamp, all customers had to re-sign completely in, and all webmasters could not go in their webmaster @ whitelabel name ...........This resulted in all our commissions being lost. It put a bad taste for both affiliates and referral specialists. I have been talking to them about this, but to no avail. The codes supposedly work again, but this does not help all the links that all of us posted all over the net. But if you are a camgirl, this will likely not affect you as much, long as you are a top model. It does explain why not as much traffic. Lots of customers HATE to have to re-sign, they simply HATE it. And the ones that re-signed, Streamate garnered all the commissions not the webmasters. Hope this explains what happened. As for camming, I am an oldie now, so not popular, but trust me, you can get serious bank on this site. Just use their crummy encoder to get proper placement.
1 November 2016 - 6:02Okay, Thanks for the tip about the encoder. I've heard it is a pain the ass and was wondering if it is worthy using it.
11 March 2017 - 22:47Camkitttie, yes it IS worth it! You can still make $500+ a day if you are young and have a niche. Get the proper cam and set your stage. Make sure you know your studio if you sign with a studio, also go to the AVN awards and kiss to them. They seem to like this. I am not a kissup, I am an alpha mean chick, lol, ....but if you are young and are nicer than me, you will always win. They do pay like clockwork, long as you are directly through Streamate, I cannot vouch for the studios.

While I can't comment on payment (I use a studio), their traffic is alright. it's very hit or miss though. $90 one hour, $15 the next. I do try to stay consistent which helps build up the regs
20 October 2016 - 9:37Only ever had to contact support once due to someone being naked below the belt & she was immediately banned upon sending them a screen shot, but I've definitely heard nightmares.
Software is hit or miss. I use the broadcaster and, depending on the version, it either works damn near perfect (last version) or has quite a few glitches (current version). If you don't have a nice computer and decent webcam, you are kind of screwed as it greatly effects placement.

Actually I like this site, but it's not on my top list.
9 October 2016 - 16:31What would change it in better way:
- less experimenting with software. OMG, it has so many bugs.. Make one good encoder and leave it in peace. Don't suggest unfinished products.
- payment time. U have to wait 21-24 days until ur funds would be received for that exact working week. Other sites are much easier in this way. Period finished - u get ur earnings in 1-3 days after that.
- didn't had any trouble with support, but it's too many letters from them. Guys, just be more simple. To many going on there in which 99% models are not interested.
- traffic depends on how u work, obviously, but for me it's in the middle. Not bad & not perfect.

What can I say! It's one of my best ones. Regulary good traffic even when I switch my schedule. Easy interface. Lovely pop-up windows for member notes and earnings checking. The minus is that you have almost no built-in promo-tools,so if you have to fight for every single customer to becomeyour regular. In fact, I cannot say anything about my payments, because I'm working in studio and that's my studio owner's pain in the ass. As about support - it'spretty helpful and friendly, but sometimes reacts a bit slowly. Anyway, I haven't had too much issues to contact them,only when member is abusing free 30 seconds to see my show without paying or gives me an unfairly bad rating/comment when I done my best. They remove this shortly most of time. As about the software - Encoder and SMBroadcast SUCK. They do, and terribly. Sometimes it lags too much. And,seriously, that's uncomfortable!
31 August 2016 - 14:27true. The 30 seconds for free are horribles, members enter and go out banging the door loud..I hate it. Better encourage to go exclusive. I asked the support if it's possible to work without premium prv.
7 September 2016 - 17:05I sent them a mail about those bloody 30" and it looks like they never pass..

Streamate support is kinda slow to get back to you, but then again i may just be spoiled by other sites. The traffic is great but the guys are so used to girls just stripping and getting down that it makes it more difficult for models like myself who actually likes to know a lil bit about the other person.

I've been on Streamate for 6 years now. They are my main source of income and I love them... with that said it has been a very rocky road the past couple years. In 2011 SM started with gold shows and I really started camming regularly, the money was insane. I could do 1-2 gold shows an hour and make $125-$150 every hour without trying. I would meet up with my girlfriends and we would cam 6 hours and make $1000 a piece! But like all great things it doesn't last forever. I am so grateful that I had a few years of SM spoiling me.
21 July 2016 - 5:40Something serious happened with their advertising in 2013 and the traffic slowly lessened. I went from an average of 150-200 people in my room to now in 2016 the average is 20 people. I am always in the top row or two and have to hussle to get gold shows but I still do on average $75 an hour. I started doing privates recently to make up for when its dead but I am still so grateful I can make that. It does take WAY more energy out of me but great friends and regulars keep me from leaving.
I wish they did a free direct deposit as I pay $30 a week for Fed Ex but thats only because I dont trust the regular mail for larger checks.
And support is great in response time. The only thing that is frustrating is that I wish they would be honest to us who have been loyal to them for years. I wish I knew what has happened to the traffic but when I have asked I've pretty much been told that nothing has changed which makes no sense.
As for the software I love the new broadcaster! It causes very little problems compared to their old encoder... so glad they rolled out this new one!
Something similar happened to me also..you are right.
27 July 2016 - 23:47I checked Streamate's analytics and it says they've actually been steadily gaining traffic since 2011, with a peak in Nov 2014, which has since dropped off and it looks like things are better now than they were in 2013. I honestly think that something just happened around 2012 and more girls started camming. Five years ago I didn't even know what a cam model was and now everyone and their sister is a camgirl. My guess is the rise of cam modeling couldn't keep up with the rise in traffic.
20 August 2016 - 3:50Streamate definitely ranks WAY lower than other sites in terms of traffic. Sites like chaturbate and bongacams get 10-20 times the amount of traffic. That's actual numbers too I'm not exaggerating. I'm guessing it's because Streamate makes you sign up with a credit card in order to have an account. That's kind of what makes the website so nice. Also they don't necessarily "advertise", at least not paid advertisement. I think their traffic comes from affiliate marketing or referral links or something. Looking at other camsites that seems to be what a lot of them do.
I agree they need direct deposit. Wire transfers are so expensive.
Rise in traffic couldn't keep up with rise in modling* my bad lol
