3-4 hours at a time is about all I can handle too. If I'm working all day I will log off for an hour or so and then do another shift. Sanity break. Lol.
Traffic was acceptable when I first got on and then slowed down a bit but the quality of men was way better last night. They were talkative and nice but I still didn't make very much.

I can see streamate and its affiliates are advertising in not so good places. No spenders and I am getting more rude people. Last night I had my blonde wig on and a guy came in and says "omfg what kind of animal are you" and I laughed and said unicorn. He said "Not a compliment". I normally don't get that kind of stuff and when I started working for streamate after Naked.com it was a huge difference in that everyone was super nice. Now that's changing

I was on yesterday for three hours and it was fairly slow, I hope things pick back up after the olympics are over.
Trying again tonight this time I have a really good feeling its not going to be slow.

What does it mean when a screen name has all numbers? I have had a few take privates and gold shows but I don't see any obvious differences...
That just what they chose as a screen name

I thought that at first but there are more and more recently, and I remembered seeing this quote about them a while back. At the time I didn't pay much attention as I hadn't noticed any of them in my room. they are almost always 8 digit numbers and never seem to quite know how to work the site, asking questions about privates and gold shows etc. The numbers don't correspond to the user ID number on the earnings statement. Some might be a chosen username but I asked one the other day and he said something along the lines of "it's what the site assigned me when I entered the room" but then disappeared. From what he said it sounded like he might be a kind of unregistered guest but I have free chat disabled so didn't think I could get unregistered users in my room. They always just appear in the normal guest chat and sometimes go to paid. Just curious to know more about them really to know if they need handling any differently to regular users.
Pretty sure these are guys who signed up through pornhub.
They're like any other user just for whatever reason get assigned a name when they sign up that way.
I actually DO get them spending quite frequently, but really only ever in gold shows. If I've had one in private or exclusive I didn't earn enough off of it to be memorable, LOL.
Not surprising though when they're coming somewhere with tons of free porn.

"What if I decide that webcam modeling isn't for me?
Then you contact us and let us know. It's that simple. We will then deactivate your account and cash out whatever may be owed to you, at the end of the pay period. We dont make you sign any contracts at all."
So by their website it looks like they will release you no problem and you didn't sign any contracts with them that would keep you stuck in a 6 mo waiting period... But I cannot hold any promises. I would just email her saying, "Please close my account entirely I think camming isn't for me." That's it. I would cc
[email protected] just incase she doesn't and you have proof to the site you have requested and they have record too. Once your account is closed, create a new account. I would wait like a week. You'll lose all your favorites and comments and have a brand new profile. Make sure to sign up here: streamatemodels.com next time
No where on their site mentions they will be taking a percentage of your earnings. Sooo scummy studio tactic, not being transparent. Also this made me Lol.. "We are THE ONLY agency that is cam girl owned and operated." THIS IS A FUCKING LIE! There are so many cammodels who have studios on Streamate. There is a member on this forum who was a cammodel who has an amazing studio that has daily payment options, contests, and other cool things:
Hey so, I emailed them and she said i have to email SM support and they can delete my account and that i have to wait 6 months to reapply! wtf is that true?
her email
"Youve been making great money hun! , but that is totally up to you. Just so you know send an email to
[email protected] if you want to close your account, I cant do it, has to come from your email address so they know its from you. Also you wont be able to open a new account with streamate for 6 months. This account will still be there, just closed, so if you do change your mind later on support can re-open the account for you."

^^ yea any studio unless they are super chill will have a non compete policy time. Rather email support at SM cos soem studios are malicious and will log into your account on your behalf. Close your acct with SM personally, if you are lucky, re-apply in 3 months and hope they don't notice you. Otherwise find other places to cam at while you wait out the 6 month thing.
MsJess
08-19-2016, 03:20 PM
This is bullshit, she could write streamate and tell them the studio is releasing you and you should not have any problem creating another account by your own, they just don't want cooperate becouse they are loosing your %

one of those number dudes took me pvt the other day...turns out it was his phone number and he hopes that by putting it there more girls will call him. Its their way of getting around the "no personal info" rule.

They think they're so clever. I also see the ones that use their skype.names and email addresses as if we really want to go out of our way for free to call/email or skype them or except a low ball rate off site. Sorry, I still charge $9.99 if you found me on SM :D

Did you earn over $100? If not then they roll it over until the next week. They are a week behind in payments as well. Im not sure how new you are and if you know this stuff already. I know they have a three week hold on payments for new performers unless you ask them to change that.

Hi, thanks for replying! Yes I did and I've been paid before via cheque so I don't think I would have the 3 week delay?? but I'm in the uk so it made no sense keeping it as cheques, I'm so confused by all the rates and currency conversions also, I wish I had known about the global bank transfer before I had signed up for this card :( :(

usually Tuesday for it to hit a bank if using your bank

I can't remember the exact number because I never pay attention to it anymore but I think it's around $5 load fee. I have never received a late payment to my card. It gets deposited every Friday like clockwork. Thursdays during holiday weeks.

Yes! The broadcaster has been going haywire on me for a few days now and yet I've asked people to check my stream as they say it's as smooth as silk so I've decided to stop worrying about it and hope that it stops hopping up and down into the red like a yoyo eventually. I thought it was just me despite finally investing in a new more powerful laptop but apparently it really is on SM's side.

I've never used the broadcaster, it's never been downloaded to my computer either. Still on the first page sometimes up on the second/third row and I use FMLE.

Heads up to non-USA girls: for the first time ever the amount on my cheque did not come through as "net amount received" after my bank processed it. This happened on several separate cheques, which only just cleared this week. Called my bank to see what the matter was and apparently the US bank had charged me £100+ "processing fees" per transaction even though my bank had AL-REA-DY processed it for £15!! My bank is claiming the charges back and I will have the money shortly. But if this is a new problem, or just something that sometimes happens, be sure to scrutinize your bank statements and cheques for any missing money. I ain't about to lose hundreds to a bloody clerical error and neither should you.
Love you all.

Labor Day is Monday, September 5. So if your checks usually arrive on Monday as mine do, You might want to get them by FedEx on Friday.( This coming Friday, Sept 2).
Holidays falling on Monday have always fucked up my check arrivals.
I'm only mentioning this because Mercury turns retrograde August 30th, and stays retrograde for most of September.
^^^I know, I know, hocus pocus, woo woo woo. But I'm not rolling the dice with my money.
Good luck ladies.:)

Mercury retrograde happens about 3 times a year. The planet appears to the human eye to go backwards in orbit for a short period of time hence, astrologers sort of freak out because the planet is regarded as the symbol for messages. That's why when it is occurring, anything that goes wrong with information up to and including travel, technology and all forms of communication is blamed on the retrograde. It's been popularized by celebrities eg. Taylor Swift.
I'm a total skeptic of astrology because I am a hobby astronomer. Mercury does not go backwards in orbit. It only appears that way due to a parallax/optical illusion. If it did go backwards, there would be catastrophic physical consequences. The funny thing is, astrologers never acknowledge the fact that Venus is ALWAYS in retrograde because it spins the opposite way of earth yet, we're not having relationship and love difficulties all the time.
I like to compare astrology to Voodoo. If you believe in it strongly enough, you will manifest the outcome. The mind is very, very powerful and belief creates your reality.

yup! This is when I usually go into retrospective about my life, clean out closets... sort of like a cocoon phase for me. i used to fear it, now I embrace it as I have learned to respect it. I DID used to think t was mumbo jumbo until I started tracking and trending things in my life.....

I've been looking for an hour but can't find the answer. Does anyone know if there is a model referral system? I have a friend or three that want to try it out and if available I want to give them a referral link.
