Oh ok lol. Yeah I followed the directions and it kept saying "email not submitted" and bringing me back to the FAQ. Oh well, I liked not having to do free chat, but I don't know if I can cam on AW again if I can't even contact them
Send what you had wrote in the feedback form to adultwork to us (by replying to our ticket) and I'll submit it from here for you. You should get a response tomorrow sometime (uk time).

I'm starting to work more and more on AW and I really like it except not being able to promote my website...I don't want to pay to have my 'phone number visible. I'd happily pay to have my web address on my profile but hey ho!
What I have seen is a guy who has his Twitter details on his profile. Is this allowed or has he just been lucky? AW do have a thing which posts on your Twitter account if you add new content, but I guess that leads people form Twitter to AW and not vice versa.

Adultwork is based in the UK, no 1099's are sent. Only US companies have to do that.

Thanks Jenny for the response..but streamate is based out of Europe (i believe) and they are gonna start sending out 1099s..so thats why I wasn't sure if AW was gonna start to do this as well

Hello,
does anyone know what their company name shows up as on a credit check (assuming it would)? Does it show up as Adult Work or something else?
Thank you

A company called Chexx pays you. I dont think Adultwork would show up on a credit check, dont think any companies paying you as self employed would. In the UK no companies that pay you show up in a credit check.

If they issue a 1099, it will likely show up on a detailed, in-depth background check (the UK does not). It will show up as a potential employer. However, you only need to worry about that if you're going into a high security job or something working with children.

I've ticked the "show email address" box on my AW profile but it still doesn't show. I've tried it several times over the past few weeks. Any help, please, would be great.
Thank you

I don't want my number to show, just my email address.
Also, another question, sorry! If someone tips me, do I know at the time, as I do on MFC, or does it only show in my credit statement?

Tips come up on screen when they happen and they also show here only.
Tips do not have the JCI fee.
If you are a webcam only member your unable to show your email address, as there would be no need to.
Showing your email address is designed for escorts as webcam members are suppose to only use the internal system to take bookings and receive pay.

TBH I very rarely recieve tips, infact I had been camming for about 3 years before I even realised I could be tipped lol.

I checked a few pages back but couldn't see anything about this.. I put up a private photo album a couple of weeks back and shortly after putting it up, this guy came into chat and started talking about how he liked the pictures, describing them and I just thought 'oh great, someone bought access to my pics!' - however, it's still not showing up in my credits statement? :/ This was almost two weeks ago now..

If a client spends £30+ when buying credits in a single transaction he gets some freeviews, 3 for £40, 4 for £40 etc.
He will most likely of seen them this way. Its an indication he had/has a willingness to spend a fair bit of cash.
wildfire
02-19-2012, 08:39 PM
But it still means I won't get any of that money? Cause he was all sweet talk but didn't seem willing at all to see any more of me by going into pvt.. realised just after I made that post that there was that, and that you didn't get any money for the freeviews. :/
PrincessJenny
02-20-2012, 01:24 AM
No sorry, no-one gets paid for a client using a freeview.

I recently got the biggest charge back I have ever had (on ANY site) on AW. They refuse to do anything about it, so if you AW girls want the name of this asshole, please PM me with your AW name and I will tell you his member name. I really don't want him to do this to any other girls. It almost makes me want to give up on AW, since they won't even let me submit an email (it just keeps re-directing me to the useless FAQ).
Was it the "tape measure" guy? The only chargeback I have had on AW was with a guy who has ripped off others on AW. Comes in and wants you to get a tape measure and pretend you are measuring his penis. Other than that, have had pretty good luck for the short few months I have been there concerning charge backs. Nothing like iFriends, that is for sure!
Oh, and to add, I made SURE to give the guy who did the chargeback HORRENDOUS feedback letting anyone who read it know what he does and that I have read he has ripped off other girls. Not that the girls read the guys feedback, but, felt good to be able to let HIM know I KNOW he was intending to rip me off from the get go.

Yup its him, and I can't understand why AW wont block him from the site since apparently he's done this over and over again. How do you leave a guy feedback/check his feedback?

I'm new to AW but I guess its not a site for me :( The guys seem to be pretty rude there, each of them want to have show for free or want me to see their cam for free ( I dont even know if its possible there to watch webcams in free chat??? ) I tell them I wont do and they start to beg its really annoying. A lot of guys are only intressted in escort services (I dont do any) and they ask me if I meet them or ask me if im from the UK than leave my chatroom :(

I feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief when I'm on AW (dealing with cool UK guys who love Black women) since I don't do free chat on there, and the guys tend to be more polite than some of these American men you find on SM and MFC.
I do group or private mode only on AW...no free chat for me. MFC's public chat and ImLive's free text chat is enough FREE chat for me. :P I'm so grateful for AW. I need to put up another listing for custom photos and custom videos.

It's true on other sites I get a lot of rude guys aswell, but I have pvts atleast, it was just too weird for me I was sitting there for hours, I was kind to the members, was dancing, teasing and not a single pvt or group. I know I should be patient and build up my traffic and get some regulars...

I like AW, it's working well for me. I only really have a couple of gripes; one, it's blooming hard to navigate and two, guys can't make a payment or give a tip other than in group or private. Oh and three...I would happily pay to have a link to my webiste on my profile. It seems the only way to do this at the moment is to have an AW link on my site AND pay to have my 'phone number visible on my profile, which I do not want and it'd be nice to be able to add customers as favourites or friends, oh and I wish they'd sort the SMS so I can offer SMS services. Hmmm...that's five gripes.
The site works for me, I make my target and can make more if I stay on longer.

@Rebecca, if somebody really wants to show you their appreciation they can. They can take you private firstly, then can tip you while you're there, they can buy off your wishlist, or then can send you a credits voucher for you to buy something for yourself. x
RebeccaT
02-22-2012, 12:18 PM
GOOD! We do NOT want to encourage the free chat tipping culture on AW. You can add a link to your site - go to my details tab, then edit profile, profile details, then scroll to the bottom and one of the options is manage links ;)
That "manage links" link refers to all the terms and conditions ie AW banner and paying for 'phone number
And I agree with not wanting to encourage tips in free chat.

Some guys do tip in private and one guy just leaves the private running while I do other stuff. But some regulars like to surprise me on MFC with offline tips.
The credits vooucher can only be spent on AW and there's nothing in the AW shop I want; likewise, the wishlist refers to the store. I do have wishlists on my website and MFC profile but AW does not allow this.
But overall, I like AW :o)

AW doesn't have the same tipping/ wishlist culture as mfc at all. British guys are tight lol. Tips are pretty rare and gifts even more rare. What do you mean it refers to t&c's and phone no? it brings up a box that lets you put in links. Go here adultwork.com/dlgLinks.asp?SelUserID=(put your user id number here)
Next to "manage links" is a "help" pop-up about AW banner and displaying 'phone number (which isn't free!)

Just to note. I think you have to be offering escorting services to have the links appear also.

I`ve only ever recieved 1 tip of £10, that was in a group show last year. Yep, its right about British culture there not big on tipping.

Hello.
I have and old account at AW (I created it and they approved and verify me since like 10 months ago) I did never login or cam or nothing...Well, I login today and update my free profile pics, and put some prices to my directcam shows and that. But I have some doubts with AW.
What is the minimum balance I need to reach there to cashout to my Payoneer???
And, like I said I have never cam there, and I'm little confused about the charge rate I should put since I'm new, I read here that 1 credit = 1 pound, well I put 1.3 credits for group and 2.0 for private, is that ok or too expensive for that site??? And can someone pls confirm to me the exact percentage I will get from this charge is 65% or 70% ???
RebeccaT
02-28-2012, 05:55 AM
Lovelyx,
I don't think there's a minimum payout but they are slow so your first one seems to take forvever but if you request a transfer at regular intervals then it's easier to manage. The payment is converted to euros then into whatever currency is appropriate. I had one payment made into my UK back account and lost about £20 in conversion rates and bank fees so I'm sticking with Payoneer.
Your rates are fine...you can look around and see what others charge. You lose 5% for JustCamIt..that's the facility fee and then 30% to Adultwork. Phone chat takes a higher percentage facility fee.
