About Streamate

Streamate, based in the USA, is one of the most popular premium cam websites in the world. Streamate is known by many of its white labels, including Cammodels and SexyLadyShows. Despite the site being a pioneer in adult live entertainment, this classic platform has no problem moving with the times. On Streamate you can find thousands of live models online at any time, day and night. These streamers can be anyone from your amateur girl next door to a bona fide porn star. Streamate is one of the market leaders with more than fifteen years of experience. Since 2003, the site has been providing live cam shows and the site continues to grow and expand.


Functions Streamate

Streamate users and models have a variety of options on this site to get the best cam site experience. As a user you will have access to the free Guest chat. The basic level of the site is free for everyone, without registration. Models are allowed to be topless, but can’t show any nudity below the waist. The shows in the free webcam rooms are for a warm-up. When there is contact with the right model it can lead to a Premium chat or Exclusive show.

Besides the free chat you also have the private Premium chat. In this chat, users can join the paid session, with a specific model, and their requests are taken into account. All types of group chats allow users to decide whether their messages are visible in the room, or just the webcam girls. The model determines the price per minute.

The Exclusive chat is a completely private show. The usual price for an exclusive chat is higher than a premium chat. Pricing you can normally find on the models profile.

There are also Gold shows. These are special group shows where multiple members are virtually present. The model determines the length, goal and base price of the Gold show. If you as a fan are interested, contribute during the countdown to the show so that you will be in the show from the moment it starts. If the performer cancels the show before it has started or while it is in progress, the visitors who are attending are not charged. (so a stable internet connection for the model, is advised) 

In addition to the various chat functions, a visitor can also opt for a Cam 2 Cam experience. This is a feature that is only enabled during a private or exclusive show. Cam2cam offers the fan the opportunity to not only see and hear the model, but also vice versa, the model can see and hear the fan. 

Members can also get a discount on premium and exclusive shows, if a model sets up a Gold Club. Being a member of this club, which essentially is a subscription based service, can get the subscribers a discount between 5 and 50 percent. The model chooses the monthly rate and sets the discount.

Yes they take a high percentage but I always thought the traffic and paying customers was decent. Just curious what days and times you go on cam? I had found that the traffic on there is very time/day sensitive.
i am work in different time. streamate stoped to buy traffic. early (3 months ago and more) was good traffic. now on streamate new owner. and he very greedy and not clever
new owner of site very young for serios business. and he kill site so as he not enought clever
SM wasnt sold, its the same owners its been for years
Nicola wrote a review about Streamate
I got my first check today, right on time. I haven't deposited it yet, but I don't expect a problem, obviously.

I do most of my camming during the day and early afternoon, so I get tons of people at work (that's way more popular than I'd think) and just getting off. I make more money during my night time sessions, but that's to be expected. I rarely go long stretches without anyone in my room.

It's easy to use and set everything up. I'm working from a chromebook, so I can't use some of the features, but everything has been great that's applicable.

EvaKay wrote a review about Streamate
I started on Streamate a little over 2 years ago. It was really good when I first started. I had to take very long break that lasted over a year and a half. When I returned, it was not good. The quality of traffic has gotten worse. So many trolls,not enough paying customers or customers in general. I'll sit for long periods of time in an empty room with no traffic and I am on the front page. Lately there have been so many horrible glitches that have made it impossible to cam successfully. It makes me wonder where the hell the 65% we give up is going. Not to decent site maintenance. Support is terrible. I've been trying to start a gold club for over a month now and when I send questions about it they always send me the same copy and paste answer about how to start one when I've had it set up and am waiting for it to go live. The quality of the website has really tanked lately and I'm not even sure if I should continue with them or not. They've really had me tearing my hair out lately.

Been on for 4 weeks now, at least 5 days per week for 3 hours, and have some observations:
Traffic - Mos def is good and fair amount of convertible prospects as well. I won't complain about lookie loos but will that there is no limit for how long they can hang in your room. On AW for example, you can set the max free time in your room in a 24 hour period (i.e., 5 minutes). Would be a good thing on SM as well.
Payment - No problems with timely receiving my check. But man do they take a chunk. Recently had 50 paid minutes in a time frame and my rates were all at least $2.50/ minute and my check was for $46. Better yet, received $5 tip ("Gold") but net earned payment for it was $1.75.
Support - As others have said, not good. They respond but with lame information.
Software - Encoder is good once you figure it out, but is downer that your view of video output is in 2 different windows and hard to fit them in your screen (SM support suggested I use 2 monitors, lol). Also you can't change the alert somebody has entered room and that little "bloop" i shard to pick up at times.
That brings up the point that you can't set the system to show your profile pic instead of a live thumbnail. Combined with no time limit on free visitors, you basically are tied to being in front of cam at all times.
Bottom line is that SM is all about traffic with tradeoff in other areas.

Traffic: Honestly this is one of the better sites (of this type, I do not use mfc or Chaturbate) for traffic - QUALITY traffic. There are some freeloaders, but for the most part I have seen where I get more paying traffic through Streamate.

Payment: I use the check option, because I do this part time. They state there is a 3 week delay, but I got my first check w/o the delay. If you are getting a paper check, then the threshold for payment is very low and can easily be made even if you are only part time. They pay weekly, sending the checks out on Thursday, I receive mine on the following Monday. The checks are discreet (no mention of the camsite at all) if that is a concern of yours.

Support: One of the worst I have seen on a cam site. There are no forums for their cam workers, and no quick support. (which they do offer their customers) I have had to fill out a form w/each question I have had, THEN had to wait a day or more for a response - which half of the time feels like they are giving you a general answer rather than dealing with the specificities of your problem. Because there is such a delay in the response then it can take a LONG time to work out any communication issues (such as they didn't understand what you were asking, or you asked for something in the wrong way) which can be very frustrating.

Software: It uses an encoder, which means it is not 'easy to use' they have some very helpful how to's to get you started, but the fact that you need how to's tells you that it is not something that is easy to use. I personally am OK using the encoder, but between the lack of immediate response to issues or questions and the effort it takes to get it set up, I rated it a 3.

Bottom line - the quality of their traffic, and the fact that it integrates well with my website, and the weekly pay will keep me coming back to this site.

Streamates is so far my #1 site to stream on, I have been streaming from this site since Feb. 2015 and have moved my way up and become very successful. Although to become extremely successful and how to make your ranking as high as you can is very demanding.
How to help perfect your placement and ranking:
Lighting is very important streamates ranks on all these listed things.. Internet speed (I recommend Comcast and Hard-wiring you computer for the fastest connection you will get.) Internet and downlaod speed is the most important thing streamates ranks on. Streaming in HD defiantly will help wil placement ( I recommend simple Logitech C920 USB 2.0 certified (USB 3.0 ready) HD Pro Webcam very affordable as well) Streaming with clear audio and wide screen is recommended. Your time online (which sucks if you do this part time) plays a big role in your placement. They rate you by how many hours you have been on.. mine is currently poor because I had to take a little break from the web. Bitrate, Frames per second, and round trip time will be logged on your account on how well they are. You can always check and monitor you ranking under my reports. If you need any help with any of these things feel free to ask me. You can always check you speed of your mac/pc here http://www.speedtest.net/
Hope this helps any new members!

AngelDream wrote a review about Streamate
I've been with SM since the beginning, and what used to be the best cam site, is now like the old PCamZ. They used to pay for advertising, which in turn meant the traffic was steady and most users would give tips or join a show. About six weeks ago the traffic dried up instantly, without any warning. I'm online most days, and have always been successful. After two weeks of troubleshooting my equipment and trying different ISP providers, and another location, I contacted support, which is a joke. Of course they sent me a link to their FAQ page and then a troubleshooting site. I called the owner on the phone, who is apparently no longer in the loop, his words, not mine, and he wasn't aware of any issues. He suggested I contact Liz, who is never helpful, and explain to her what the problem is. After two weeks of "the tech team is actively looking into resolving your issues", I get a very long winded response. They admitted my concerns were accurate and what I suggested the problem might be, which is a dead server, is not unfounded. After explaining the problem that I already found for them, they said it's out of their hands and they cannot do anything for me. Oh, but they suggested I try a different webcam.... that is their only suggestion because I tried 2 computers (a mac and a windows), 3 different internet providers and 2 locations.... so obviously, it is my in house equipment.

I follow enough SM ladies on Twitter to know that it's a site wide issue and not just isolated to my account. For weeks their have been weird glitches for some models and a lack of traffic ($$) for others.

I wonder if they've stopped putting money into the company and they're just not telling us because we'd all stop supporting SM and find a new place.

If you're new to the cam industry, I suggest you find several sites to use and don't waste your time on SM.

I agree, Streamate has no support. They leave their money makers out to starve. Which also shoots themselves in the foot, since we bring in the revenue.

I've been in Ohio for the past year, haven't had any difficulty at all with my shows or signals. It's slower than usual right now, but it's summer so I'm not concerned. My regs are showing up, and I'm making a point to only work when there's a good chance I'll be busy (Sat/Sun mornings, and very late nights), so I'm doing ok.

I've read your blog post too, about your trials through all this. Is there any chance that there is a major service outage or problem on the signal paths between Texas & Seattle? Denver? Salt Lake? San Francisco? Reno? Vegas? or the like. Something where all your signals are being fucked with on the way to SM's Seattle servers? That's about all I can think of, because from Ohio to Seattle signal seems ok. I haven't experience any of what you're talking about. I know that probably doesn't make you feel any better =p But it gives another piece to the puzzle.

PS: I don't know that Shawn is in the day-to-day loop anymore because things around SM are changing so fast, with all the new programming for the mobile devices, it's hardly the same old site. I just think much of what's going on these days is just out of his range of knowledge.... but I'm just guessing.

I sure hope it gets corrected. I can't image Streamate without you!
Thank you for your long reply! I wondered if something was effecting my area, even though I've tried 3 providers, but SM said I'm the only Texas lady having issues. With that said, I've spoken to several ladies all over the states who are having the exact same problem. I'm not even making 1/4 what I used to bring in and it's been frustrating taking a hit like that. SM claims today that they are not blaming my ISP and are still actively working to find the problem, which tells me there is something going on. I agree with you that they don't have the knowledge needed to stay on top, but one would think as a business, that they would hire someone. But, that's just me thinking that with the money they make they should reinvest.

The summer months have always been slower, but working more hours has always allowed me to hit targets. The problem I have is no one is finding my room, unless I'm doing a TV show and then the cam site floods my room with 50 viewers.

Thank you for your kind words, and for taking the time to read my long winded blog post. You are a sweetheart!

I hope that you have a very successful week! XO

Their ID verification system in totally bull s***t. I tried verifying my account an my account was blocked they give you a chance to re-upload....they said my ID was fake I provided they with a prove of ID from home affairs they still blocked me. They said they wanted a different government document so I went and did my passport n sent it to them...they still refused to open my account again now they say "the person who opened the account is different from the one who was performing there" which was not true I asked to send me that proof they refused they also stole my money which was reversed by Paxum to them an kept coming up with excuses.

I am a model with 4 years experience on Streamate site .It was the most toxic experience I had in my entire life .The main problem is the trafic . And the second , are the conection issues during the streaming. They do want to make updates and improvements to the site, but they don't succeed. And they try to do that only during their Stupid Contests! My honest advice is to avoid this site!

I have been on for a little less than 90 days. I made a YouTube video better explaining what I made and tips, but overall I like the site. Never had issues with payments and the site is user friendly. Since getting a better webcam o have been getting more traffic. Of course they do take a good chunk of the money but overall it’s been very worth while for me.

I work for streamate for 11 years. There is always space for better, but this is actually the only livesite I've worked on that allows me to make some money every day. Sometimes the traffic is better, sometimes slower, but it is there. The administrators are easygoing, they never bothered me that my equipment had to be better, that the lighting had to be better, that my photos need to be professional. There are certain rules, which you follow and you have no problems. The clients are polite, and if they are not, the site gives you the option to block them forever, which is great. The more hours you work, the greater the possibility of taking serious money. Payment is regular and accurate. That's why I recommend streamate to all models who are thinking about which site to choose, if they want a stress-free job. Because of all these positive aspects compared to other sites, I give this site 5 stars. I believe that we will cooperate well in the future.

Site isn't working good. Besides errors and low traffic and constantly kicked out customers there were periods whith no activity at all, even in privates, I just stopped getting any text from customers sudden and couldn't see if they really are online or no. I only realized it'doesn't work when i asked my regulars to check me and it only can be fixed when you relogin, but you never know if it's working or no unless you ask someone to talk to you.

we all came to this site back when sites were closing and we needed to go somewhere. We all did amazing. onlyfriends i think it was called thats hundreds of us,and some are still there on streamate. Lots of loyal fans and mostly because they pay such a small % to us, we have to charge a lot. Thats why guys go in to private and want you naked right away or they can be super nice and longer shows. It has a ton of traffic but its hit and miss to make money consistently. I love the support i never have issues.

My wife is a mature MILF and does really well on Streamate. It's been very good to her for several years now.

Her clientele is mostly made up of 18-30 year old men and she stays busy all night usually.

I never imagined how many times a woman could orgasm in a night!

I was on this site for two years and now I’m back! Well, sort of..I had to re-verify everything and it’s very tedious. Now I’m waiting for my address to be verified and it’s not accepting my payment method! How long does it take now a days?? I loved this site and did well. Now I’m worried how long it’s going to take to verify everything. It never took this long. After reading the comments I’m shocked at the cut! I DO NOT REMEMBER a 70% cut! Is this true???

o site tem limitações até na escolha de como você paga, antes era ótimo, mas muitas limitações entraram em vigor, eu sou brasileiro tinha uma meta semanal que foi crescendo periodicamente, até que acho que os administradores injustos começam a fazer arte, então se o tráfego tem limitações de público, agora sobre os prêmios do concurso ouça sempre with os favoritos, sempre os mesmos e nunca online na hora do concurso.

Awful ,damn frustrated!
the new system of confirming your ID is disgusting. It is impossible to take a high-quality photo with an id in hand, the camera does not focus on the document. it is impossible to fix it, I tried several times and my account was closed. I don't even want to try, you take 70%, absolutely no support for the site models. I've already written a bunch of letters and no one is helping. I see it as simply eliminating unwanted models. my flag is not the usa or britain, I have bad traffic to sit looking at empty chat screens, the streamate is deader than a graveyard. I want to get my money back and do not want to waste time on this site.
