Adult Work's site might the worst cam site to navigate. They desperately need to upgrade and redesign EVERYTHING.

The thing is, it's not a cam site, it's an 'everything' site... but yes, if they had big headers for cam, phone, sales and other stuff, it'd be easier, although this 'new' version is much easier to deal with than the old one.

A dumb question. How slow is AW for girls outside the UK. I've got a verified profile and it's linked to Daily Pay Service but I never managed to broadcast there. I am short of money for next week as SM has been horrible for me over the past weeks. I know it is different for everyone but can I expect at least U$15-20 per hour ?

I'm in the US and only do paid chat on AW. Some days I get 0 shows, other days I get 5 or 6...I don't make a lot of money on AW, but I split cam with it so it's just extra money in my pockets when I do get shows. Most of the guys don't stay long in privates for me either.

Finally managed to get back on AW! Wasted time making nothing on MFC and SM this morning so relieved to be getting group shows on AW.

Hi girls, what is Manual Escrow on AdultWork? Just saw I had 83.82 debit???? Is it a chargeback? I just cant believe AW has chargeback? I am shocked! He tipped me 10 credits twice. WTF! I only know Imlive has big CB. NOW Adultwork?????!!!!

Ok. Got their response. Very fast. Very impressive. But I didnt get my money back.

Here it is:

"Hello

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately any persons choosing to make an income on the internet will
be exposed to some risk of fraudulent activity.

We are sure you will appreciate that although we do our best to combat
this problem, the costs of running this site and absorbing the losses from
those that defraud it are considerable. In many instances fraudulent
activity is detected after the event (i.e. the credits have been withdrawn
from our system by a Service Provider) .

In such cases our losses are severe as not only have we paid out to a
Service Provider but we also by then had to repay the credit card company.
Therefore if we catch someone in the act of using stolen credit cards to
purchase credits on this Site and spend them with others, we won’t allow
them to be withdrawn if we are in a position to be able reclaim them.

Unfortunately Member Eric_55v and the sessions you had with this member
is such a case in point. The credits have been returned and the stolen
card used to purchase them refunded.

If, as we believe, you are an innocent party then we can only apologise
for your misfortune. However unfortunate though it may be, the fact
remains that we will not knowingly pay out on stolen credit cards if we
catch the person doing it. If we were to then it would only compound the
problem of fraud and send a message to those that wish to defraud us that
they could collude with members such as yourself in order to launder and
still receive stolen funds whether they were detected or not.

We are sorry that you have fallen victim to internet fraud and we do
everything in our power to catch fraudsters as soon as we can as as not to
cause disappointment to members like yourself. It’s unfortunate in this
instance that we didn’t catch him until after your sessions had taken
place.

Why does this site keep raising the minimum payout everytime I'm ready to cash out my check. I tried a week ago and they said I needed 12 more credits to avoid a negative balance. So I made 20 credits and now it says I need 17 more. WTF is up with this? I feel like I will never be able to get my check :(

I've had much smaller credits checked out before, but only recently have they started asking me to make more.

PrincessWorld
07-02-2013, 08:47 AM
So his name is Eric_55v and location is FR (so its France but he can use proxy or vpn)? All he wanted in this 25 minutes private session was licking my fingers and telling him how I love big cocks as I really look like his ex. The show was simple and I didnt even stand up for a second but my valuable 25 mintues was fucking wasted. He used a stolen card and proves to me that chargeback exists on AdultWork. Lesson learned. I need to more careful when I have long sessions next time on AW, especially when their location is not from UK.

Thank you Katy! I have been with AW for a bit over 2 years but it was never my main site. The funny thing is this chargeback just happened the moment when I decided to spend more time on AW and make it my bread & butter site since Streamate has been weird and Imlive has become ImDead.

Try to click "Click here to correct the above negative balance problem" below the red warning message and then it should be fixed. Dont ask me why lol I just do it everytime when I see the message and then it lets me transfer the funds.

SexyAleks
07-02-2013, 09:26 AM
Also it helps to un-tick some of the boxes with credits, as it doesn't sometimes recognize they have been transferred already, and continues adding them to the total balance. That's why it tells you that after the transfer it will end as a negative balance, and not because you don't have enough credits for the payout.
As for the chargebacks, I had this too, I think in May. I was in group chat with 1 guy, then 2 more joined. One's IP address was in US, the other was in FR. Both ended as "member not active" on the next day, the credits were taken from my account and those always leave you a negative feedback on top of that.

My current issue with AW is this...now that I live in the UK Im not allowed to change my location? I submitted a ticket a week ago and no response. I tweeted them where they directed me to a link to submit a ticket. An effing cycle it is. I was hoping now that I live in the UK I would get more traffic. Its just odd to me when I look at my profile in comparison to those who live there vs my American profile? I see people who have only been on there for less than a week have 5,000 views, where mine has only 5,000 in a year? Why do they separate us?

Busygirl
07-05-2013, 12:51 AM
Yes exactly, only models from UK have good traffic. The rest gets lucky to be found, unless they do some kind of promotion. I tested it and my earnings were significantly higher when i put UK in my profile. Careful though don't do that, or you get banned for that. They are so anal about location verification i needed to reverify like 3 times already with them, with newspapers and photos in public places, plugs, etc. Probably members reporting me because of my accent.

Good for supplemental income, but it could not pay my bills being from the US.

lol , be glad, your getting traffic :)

I was just about to say that as well. I had hoped having UK would put me in favor but doesn't seem like I will be changing that update any time soon. Im gonna put AW on the FAR back burner for now. Something seems very off there to me? I see the potential but its not worth the head space to try and figure it out. If they actually respond to my inquiries and fix it then great! But for now Im going to keep focusing on my indy stuff. Before I moved here I visited to get things sorted and sprinkled my business cards, banners and everything all over the place. By the time I made it back home to the states my skype and phone lines were going crazy. So for those who have said that the men in the UK dont like to speak to American women, that's simply not true. It's just that on that site they make it difficult for them to find you. I've picked up a few little tricks to get myself noticed but it could definitely be better. And I can't fathom the idea of sending traffic to a site that doesn't see my value as a novelty. I have websites and promote but I prefer to push my traffic to where I pay out the least amount of money in fees not my AW profile. Im crossing my fingers on the location change. Maybe then it will get a bit better, if not meh oh well. At least now living here I know where to find the filthy fucks who love my shows.


Also I just wanna add that in no way shape or form am I saying that American girls are better camgirls for British men. Just wanna make that clear. Its the excitement of something different thats all. I often encourage British camgirls to test out American sites and play up the accent to make more money. It goes both ways :)

I'm pretty sure that by default the guys on AW see ALL the available camgirls. They actually have to select to view UK girls only (each time they want that option).

SexyAleks
07-05-2013, 04:35 PM
The searches are based on IP address though. If they use the searches, will only show them girls in their country. In order to find girls outside UK, they should not search, or filter by country. That's all.

Pottymouth101
07-05-2013, 05:03 PM
Its by IP address. When I was in the Us i immediately was sent to a front page for US providers. Now in the Uk it takes me to United Kingdom. That site gets very little US traffic so by default a US person or wherever you are outside the UK is not readily available. Now they can change this IF they notice the tiny little link in the upper right hand corner of the site. Now from there it gets pretty tricky depending on what link they click from there. If they select from the left hand side see all providers they get a different sort depending on direct cam,phone whatever. But even if you are coming in from a US IP address you are not shown the Us performers on the left hand side. Only in the very middle. If they choose from the links going horizontal on the page they get all UK options that are featured. Its not like other sites where we are all sprinkled together based on stats. And if the guy wants a micro niche to break it down even more there is a neat little column to choose from that breaks it down even more.

TheBrownFox
07-05-2013, 06:53 PM
I was just about to say that as well.

But I'm not getting traffic like you guys are assuming. So I think I'm gonna take another shot at splitcamming AW with another site, while staying logged into Skype...that way, I'm keeping myself available for guys from CamModelDirectory wanting to buy a Skype session.

And I think I should be able to have the correct country listed on my profile without having to jump through hoops to get Support to fix it. *shrugs shoulders*

sexysusie
07-06-2013, 12:25 AM
In regards to traffic, remember that AW is primarily an ESCORTING site. The majority of guys are looking for someone local to hook up with. As most of the customers are from the UK, they are not going to be interested in US girls, who it's unlikely they'll ever get to meet. Plus on an average day there are somewhere in the region of 300 - 400 girls camming, and only 20 - 40 of those in private. From what I can see those consist of UK girls, and the romanians charging 60p per min.

@Rosie - For 2 way to work you need to have the cam set at H264 video and Speex audio in settings

Yeah, exactly. They keep seeing U.K. on my profile, and assume that I'm local and available to meet for a price. And then the moment I tell them I don't meet in person, they're like "Oh, that's a shame" and then end the session. LOL.

Can't help with reverse bookings but when you sell something the credits will sit in escrow untill you mark the item as despatched and enter a tracking number, then they will be added to your statement 5 days later (I think).

@Pottymouth101 - for me (in the UK) it does take to a UK homepage, but as soon as I click on 'Webcam' and then 'Online Now' it does indeed show ALL online providers UNLESS I specifically use the dropdown tab to select UK performers. It does not automatically filter to show me UK performers first

Classy_Katy
07-06-2013, 11:32 AM
We are all put in the mix...what the guys notice is price, and when I look at http://www.adultwork.com/TV/Categories.asp during the daytime when I cam (and right now) the majority of privates are with girls charging .60 - 1.10 and they are not from the UK.

Preference to UK girls on AW is one of those urban camming myths like girls with slow internet upload speeds can't cam on Streamate.

SexyAleks
07-06-2013, 11:50 AM
I haven't tried camming on AW from UK, so I don't know for sure what difference to my traffic it would make (I am in Bulgaria). However, a Romanian girl I know first was working in Romania, after that moved to England and her country was changed on the profile. She got much busier and could charge a higher price per minute. So for her there was a major difference in the credits she was making before and after.

sexysusie
07-06-2013, 08:14 PM
They're not myths. As attested by many many us models, they do tend to have slower traffic than uk. Whether that is entirely down to the uk market preferring local talent, or to aw also implementing some kind of filtering procedure is hard to say.

In regards to sm, an upload speed lower than at least 2mb (most of the uk unless they have access to cable or infinity) DOES disadvantage you. You can still cam there, but your stream and bandwith will never be good enough quality to meet with the ever increasing technical demands as SM adds and improves features in line with the needs of its far more Internet advanced US market. Front page, top rows ranking, gold shows, and encoder use are all restricted by low upload speed.

I also disagree on regards to guys seeing price. This may be truer on other sites where the average rates are lower and number of girls much higher, but is not so of AW. While many guys are influenced by price, if this were their main criteria they would be on the aforementioned sites. While I often gripe about the rock bottom prices of the eastern European studio girls, I do not believe it is entirely down to price that they are so popular on AW during the daytimes, and here's why - many of those girls are exceptionally attractive, in fact to mainstream model standard in UK, with much higher upload speeds giving vastly improved streaming quality, they are available seemingly 24/7, and offer practically everything. So while some guys may see 60p private, they are also seeing a gorgeous girl, available any time of day, with a great quality stream, willing to do anything!

Not everything is down to price. There is much much more than meets the eye!

@ Aleks - was your friend in a studio previously? Why was she unable to charge the higher rate before?

SexyAleks
07-06-2013, 09:05 PM
No, she wasn't in a studio. It's just that they are less willing to pay over 1.5 per min for models outside UK. I think if I put my price over 1.5 credits for private, gets very slow for me and she was with the same price. In UK she could charge around 1.5 for group and 2 for private. Not a big difference but it adds up. I am not 100 % happy with charging 1.5 but still it gives me around 1.5 usd (1 gbp) per min my share, and on Streamate I would have to charge 5 usd per min to get that. It's also true that upload speeds in RO and BG are very high, actually among the highest in the world, and the studios often stream on multiple sites without any issues. Most of the Romanian models on AW with the cheap prices aren't online just on AW, I have seen many performing full masturbation shows while in free chat, obviously doing it for another site, or just being desperate. I have even reported many of them about that, they get suspended for about a month, then they are online again.

sexysusie
07-07-2013, 03:47 PM
Yep I've seen the same thing Aleks. The high upload means they can stream multiple sites without issue, so they splitcam 4, 5 or more at once and don't care if they get banned off one.
