I found this kind of hidden on the What's New page re the Adult Verification thing (hadn't seen it mentioned on here so thought I'd share):
In April 2018 new regulation will come into force requiring that no adult content can be accessed by anyone who has not verified that they are an adult.
The latest information regarding the regulations and regulator can be found here:
AdultWork.com has been age-verifying members automatically since 2015. If you have purchased credits via SMS, credit card or PaySafeCard then you are already age verified and your browsing experience will remain unchanged. Similarly, if you are offering services and have achieved Verified Member status then you too will see no change.
If you have not age verified yet, we would invite you to do so without delay to ensure an uninterrupted browsing experience. You can age-verify quite simply via this page.

We were talking about this on the page before this one. There are separate threads too on the changes regarding age verification and porn.

I was just gonna put a post about this I encourage everyone to get guys to AV register prior to april.
Its actually a ton easier than I thought and if you phone has adult block off which most guys do then they can use their mobile number to AV themselves.
But yeah I will be banging on to everyone about it.

Does AdultWork require a passport now to sign up for US models? I just logged in for the first time in a year or so and tried to start all over, it says I originally got booted out of my last profile I think because I was on DailyPay group?

They require a passport for non-UK members. In the past there were ways to squeak around it but it seems they are no longer giving way to those allowances? You need a passport. For years they couldn't be bothered to mention that during the sign up process. I wonder now with the new UK verification if they'll finally update the process of signing up? I hope so.

You can just tick the boxes again yourself. You'll need to untick - Disable Pre-booked Webcam, in your webcam tab too, if you offer booked shows.

I had my webcam option removed after I logged in from abroad, I'm verified too. You can't just tick it again you will probably have to re-verify. You can email AW to find out or you could just go and verify yourself again, that might be faster as it can take a couple of days to be approved.

Not sure about domme content, the stuff that I sell the most of is vanilla fucking clips and masturbation clips between 30 seconds & 2 mins roughly. These sell over & over. But I do have some 'random' clips like pee for example and they go pretty well too. If you have the content, might as well upload it. If you have long sessions, break them down into short clips and maximise them. :)

I was just checking my call log and noticed in the errors section that one of my regulars has tried to call several times, but it says "Caller's account is inactive - (removed/closed)". It's strange because his same username is listed further down in errors when he's tried to call when I haven't been logged in, or he hasn't had enough credits for a 5 minute call. I don't understand the account inactive message, and I'm pretty sure he's not one of those guys who deactivates his account after a call and reactivates again when he gets the horn. Does anyone know exactly what this means? I don't want to lose another regular!

Today is the first time I've tried to log in on JCI 3.0.8 since January 9. I cannot connect to the server. I also cannot log into the adultwork.com website unless I use a proxy. I'm attempting to log in from Thailand. I have set offering webcam services (checked the box) as I know that needs to be rechecked after a long break, but usually that is mentioned in the JCI window if it needs to be done. I did notice some changes under the profile area.
I have sent a detailed message to the webmaster. Perhaps someone here has a clue what is going on??

I haven't got that with any of mine...can you click on his name and email him? Then you could give some kind of "sorry you couldn't hold of me" message and see if he replies.

Yep, that's exactly what I did. I even clicked on his feedback number and his account still looks active. Hopefully he checks his emails. I sent a message to AW, but they sent me a reply directing me to the Directchat Troubleshooting article which didn't answer anything for me. Bizarre. I've always found it really difficult to get an actual reply from an actual person who actually read and understands my problem on AW. I get that they must be bombarded with support emails, but other sites I'm on always get back to me asap and surely they must also be bombarded.

It's a race to the bottom.
It happens on every site. Prices go down and down and down and the number of models goes up and up and up. I work on 5 sites and they are ALL doing downhill. I noticed a sharp decline mid to late 2016 that continues.

1.99 GBP is US$1.81 profit per minute. That's non-taxable and a lot of dough for people in developed countires. That's over $108 per hour. I wish I could get privates at that price, but I can't.
If you observe the number of private and group sessions at any particular time you will notice that the majority are UK models. The foreign models are picking up the scraps, so if you're in the UK, count yourself lucky.

I cam as much as I can before Christmas to make up for January, when I don't even bother camming. I haven't cammed much so far this month but it's been average for me. It's still half term week and people may be away so I haven't cammed this past week. I am hoping Monday will be better as guys with families will be back.

Where on earth do you live that you don't pay taxes??
If you're happy at 1.99 go work a traditionally cheap site and count yourself lucky there. People are not in private for an hour. Sometimes it happens but most spend up to 30 mins per hour in paid (general economics). Lower prices doesn't equal more time in Paid, only less money for the same work. The clientele is more demanding and the shows are harder. This has been discussed so many times over the years.

Maybe you're a superstar and can charge more. You do call yourself Sexysusie which indicates you've got the look. We're not all equal in this game. Unfortunately, I can't...
I don't really need a lesson on how camming works. I've been at it since 2005 and have worked on AW for 4 years and currenty cam on 5 sites, so I do have a clue about pricing. I've messed around with my prices on AW often to try to find one that works. If you can make sufficient income at 1.99 GBP, then that's great - that's too high for me and I don't get privates when it's up that high. I'm specifically referring to the Group price. My Private rate is higher, but I don't get many privates... which is one of the reasons I split cam to many sites. My goal is to make a certain amount of money per week, not to obsess about my per-minute charges. After 13 years I do know what price points work for me. AW has been dying a slow death for years as have all other sites. I have never paid one cent of income tax on any camming income. I don't work in my home country.
And btw, if you spend 30 mins per hour in paid private, what are you whining about? That's over $50 per hour which is probably a decent hourly rate even in your country, wherever that is.

Absolutely! Most of the money I earn goes to Paxum or Firstchoice, which is all offshore anyway. I was surprised that the question was even asked.
SylvySinclair
02-18-2018, 12:36 PM
The thing is that paxum or firstchoice are not known in Brasil and only if i got the money on my bank acct they would track it for taxes. Thats why i dont want any of these money made with cam shows to ever touch my bank acct. I already pay tons of taxes with my regular job, i dont need to pay taxes over my camming as well. NO NO!

Sweetie I am £3.99/min. It's not about looks it's about this being a LUXURY service and models treating themselves as luxury items. You think burger king prices are ok go WORK AT BURGER KING.
I too work multiple sites and know exactly how things work. I was having a rant because I had a bad night. I don't appreciate you exacerbating the situation by saying well you still earn x amount so don't moan - would you say that to an architect or life coach or consultant? Because that's what cam models are. We are specialists offering a unique one to one luxury service.
Seriously if you have so little ambition and think it's fine to sell your body for ridiculously low rates and just be happy for whatever you can get, please, for the love of GOD, go waitress. And quit telling the rest of us we should be happy with pennies.
Thanks!
Oh and if you're not paying taxes then I really hope you have a lot saved up to cover it when your government comes for you! What a piss take when the rest of us are responsible and paying 25%+ of our income.
SylvySinclair
02-18-2018, 06:21 PM
Sorry Susie, but this has nothing to do with responsibility....Its just that my country for instance, doesnt have any way of tracking the money i make camming and so must be with hers. My country doesnt have any knowledge of these ways of getting money. I talked to an accountant as his advice was for me to never get this money on my account because payoneer and paxum are untraceable here. Ofc that i checked, i dont want to get in trouble, but since most cam sites dont send our income and taxes information to a majority of countries, there is no way for these countries to know whether you make money overseas or not. Thats all.

You mean apart from if AW/Payoneer/Paxum gets audited and The Tax Man decides to check who is declaring the income made via the site or coming through the card?
Probably not a good idea to be announcing something like this on a public board, TBH!

Agreed and unless the transaction is purely cash handed over with no paper / online trail at all, there will be a record of it, somewhere. AW or any other cam site knows exactly what you have earned!

That doesn't mean others don't know what's going on. If your ego is so sensitive, spare the whining. I price my privates at the right price to get privates, not to sit around.

Looks like I'm out. I tried to connect a few days ago and couldn't. The AW site was unreachable too. It looks like AW have either blocked my country or my country has blocked AW. I suspect the former is more likely. When I contacted customer service they told me I need to re-verify my account as my ID had expired. What a waste of time that was only to find out I cannot connect.
I can connect with a VPN though. Has anyone tried that" I'm worried about doing that as they may cancel my account if I appear to stream from a different country than my proven location. When I log in with a VPN it shows in my profile that I am streaming from a different country than I purport to be in.
