Hi again,
To further update everyone, Streamate has identified and is confident the issue is resolved. As I mentioned, we want to offer our appreciation for everyone’s patience through this… All eligible accounts will see this message in their account soon!
During the past week, Streamate experienced heavy technical issues that continued for several days. The issues have now been found and resolved, but not before disrupting spending across the site. Your experience at Streamate Models is important to us and we want to make this right.
*From August 21st to 26th (GMT), Streamate Models will receive an additional 20% to their earnings.*
You will see a bonus equal to 20% of your earnings for each day from 8/21-26 (GMT). The bonus will appear on your earnings report, with a “Pay Adjustments” link within 24 hours of the end of each day. In order to qualify for this bonus, your account must have been active PRIOR to August 20th.
Questions.. Please contact support.
Thank you from all of us at Streamate.
Liz

Same. Have any of you received an actual SM email/message about the 20% bonus yet?
Issabelle

No, but Katy Boleyn (who runs the daily pay studio) has received the announcement as well, so it's legit. If studios are hearing about it, then it has to be.
I will be so angry if it isn't. Like, I will LEAD the angry mob with its pitch forks and torches.
In other news, THANK YOU LIZ! This is actually really, truly good enough to make up for a week of nightmares and lost income. We all really appreciate it!

WAAAAIIITT A MINUTE. Thats not 55% its 42%. Sorry another cam girl just pointed this out to me on twitter. 20% bonus on our earnings is 20% more on the 35% that we earned.

Hey All!
I'm new here though not so much in caming (roughly 8 months) I've been eyeing this post for a few weeks and thought it was about time to say hi. BTW thank you sooooooo much LIZ and to SM and I"m totally down for the CAMATHON! Keep in mind it starts today at 7pm central time =)

08-20-2015, 01:56 PM
I have no idea how they're doing the math. I'm stoked for a bonus either way. Although getting an extra $.20 on every dollar would be the best deal, an extra $.07 on each dollar (or so) is still pretty epic.

From what I understand it applies to EVERY model who had an active account before August 20th so Yes :)

Hello everyone again...
Its important to clarify some confusion here... This is a 20% bonus on your daily earnings. It's a flat 20% addition to what you earned that day. If you earn $1000, you'll see a $200 bonus. It doesn't matter if the earnings are from cammodels, privates, exclusives, partner site etc. Each day, within 24 hours of the day ending, we'll add a 20% bonus based off of what you earned that day to your account. You'll see it on your earnings page, with a link that says "Pay Adjustments", which will show you the detail.
I am sorry for the confusion - I think sometimes the Internet is like playing telephone.
Either way - it's a great bonus for FIVE FULL DAYS!
Go forth and cam!!!

From what I just read it is 20% of your earnings, not 20% of spent. So it's not 55% afterall

Yuuup. All the posts have been updated to say it's only going to be 20% of YOUR cut as a bonus
If you're at 35% payout, that means an extra 7%, for 42%
If you're at 30% payout, that means an extra 6%, for 36% (le sigh, and I'm a daily pay model)
If you're at 25% payout, that means an extra 5%, for 30% (i.e. all the EE models still get screwed)
Such is life. I appreciate any bonus, although after the week I've had the extra $.20 on the dollar would have been fabulous.

She was right. Kinda dissapointed they wrote on their twitter the part with 55%. (20% extra from what customers spend).

I will say it, even if I am an ungrateful bitch. This is a marketing tool. They want us to go online and stay for hours, so they can recover what they lost the other days. We'll get a few dollars extra for it.
I will take those pennies, don't get me wrong, it's still something. But they made it sound way better than it is.

Absolutely true. Their bottom line has been hurt as much as ours in this whole fiasco and it's resulted in service providers (that's us) being just as unwilling to work as customers are to spend. Jilted customers tend to be more willing to come back than jilted providers, and jilted customers that see a shit ton of girls working will be still more inclined to spend.
That said, everybody wins on the bonus. I don't know that it totally makes up for the loss of income, but it's a start and I appreciate that they're trying. I'd only be at the 'pitch forks and torches' level of rage if the bonus change announcement came after my marathon started.

yeah because they told us something that wasn't true smh whatever it is better than nothing but that is night and day difference than what we originally thought we were getting.

But is the site working? I hope this isn't an attempt to placate the situation. I'm not able to log on at the moment therefore I can't see for myself. Are guys going private? Are mobile customers still seeing the black box of doom? Are we showing as in private when we're not? This issue began for me a long time ago. Not just on Saturday. Are you guys gonna replace those customer service people that pissed off customers? I think you should. Just because it's porn doesn't mean they shouldn't be professional and kind. Can you imagine what it must feel like for a guy who's complaining about not being able to masturbate? This is why most just do a chargebacks and call it a day when the site acts up. Thank you for the bonus although it was misstated. There're still other issues and I really hope Streamate is going to look into them.

Well to say the least 55% WOULD have been nice but I'll take 42% as long as the site is stable and working, it'll still force me to work double the hours I was working before and an extra 20% off of double the earnings of what I make weekly (due to double the hours) is still a hell of a win for me! I might not be able to walk come the end of the 5 days, but I'll be smiling the paycheck coming up knowing I pushed myself because I was getting that extra percent! But if the site is still f'd its going to be a long 5 days, major thumbs down. I used to bust my ass working on IML back in the HOF days just for an extra 5% so I'll do it now too and milk the cow while it has milk!
Good luck everyone lets hope its stable and profitable;)

Ugh, just had a guy try to take me private and couldn't...I know he wasn't just screwing with me because we set up a whole thing and he didn't ask for any freebies. This is weird because I haven't really experienced glitches up until now but I know that show was going to be a moneymaker for me. This better not be how the rest of the night goes.

I'm very happy that Streamate is at least giving us models this opportunity. Most of my issues took place yesterday. I have had problems all week but it was really bad yesterday. Plan us using these 5 days to earn extra and pay off two bills that need attention. Thanks Streamate :)

So do we still get the bonus if we worked the first three days of this week? I just started my period and have a terrible rash from an oil show I did with baby oil so I haven't been online yesterday or today....not in this condition anyway.

Yeah, I made a whole 15 dollars in an hour (one private and a few tips) and had maybe 30 people come in my room the entire time. Definitely not normal for me.

This is normal for many of us on SM. For whatever reason it's your turn. I've tested it out and pulled my tits out to see if it would make a difference. Sadly it did not. Something is wrong when they dont have a minute to stare at big titties.

Today I was on for a little over 6 hours and made a grand total of 35 bucks. People couldn't get into private. People getting kicked out once we go private. Nobody talking, nobody sticking around. Ridiculous. This is gonna be a long assed camathon if things don't shape up.

Just wanted to share so you girls know you are not alone... I've been on for 2 hours and a half and I only got 2 shows. No traffic at all. I feel like all the customers left the site because they got tired of the tech issues.

I was going to try going online tonight but it seems you guys are still having some troubles? I guess I'll just start first thing in the morning.
I totally need to start watching what some of the girls do and do some research and switch up my show. I know some of you said $30 an hour is still good, but its miles away from $100! If I could make that kind of money I would never stop camming lol.. I thought maybe my per minute was too high so I adjusted it and we'll see what happens
