no, you're not out of money. Let Liz know ASAP. They will say wait 30 days.
Streamate had to wait 30 days to make sure I or another person did not cash it. This was years ago but its still the same protocol.
My check showed up 2 weeks later. it went through hell. showed up wrinkled with black skid marks so I think it got caught in a mail office belt to sort mail. idk tbh but I was living on scraps for a week and calling utility companies

I am happy Sm responded bc I never get a response but I was nice on twitter about it stating I had to run to a bank to transfer funds. Im hoping for more responses if I tweet them again. I hate support.
currently, Im saving for a house so any dent in that savings pulls me back and the check does arrive bc its late will not make me catch that up when it comes. I have to pay the credit cards Im using for gas and food, my mom blah blah so it adds up. I tend to freeball on credit cards. Just be balling lol
l just paid down most my cards. One check late can fuck up a world. Im getting a house by the skin of my teeth lol

I swear shit happens bc everything is smooth and the world is telling me not to get accustomed to it.

Not sure but I was trying to trace mine today and I could not but in red bold banner it stated USPS is wonky die to Hawaii Hurricane.
we are on the east coast so I wouldn't think it effects us.

Congrats on buying a home! you deserve it!.. It sucks owning a house though when you have some repair for like 5 grand..lol.. or you have no money to fix up your house but the suffering is worth it in the end with the equity.

Same in my case¡ yesterday 3 hours before the contest ended I started to make money again¡ lol¡ But ofc i couldnt reached all the money that i didnt make in the past days, fuck it. Always when there is a contest like that (Bonus) i make half of what i use to. Pretty weird. Anyway, I relaxed myself and enjoyed my evening with my bf. ::)

Mine didn’t show up today either. They really do need to start direct deposit. I don’t know why they don’t have it already. School starts for my kids after Labor Day and I really hate to go into my savings to buy the rest of her school stuff when my check should already be here. I bet our bonuses won’t be on our next checks either next week.

I agree, that really is ridiculous. They need to get with the program, and get direct deposit like PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE ELSE.

This is exactly why I did not buy a home before my kid went to college. I can only handle one full plate. My family yelled at me that I was throwing away money but I felt safer renting as far as money goes.

it is cheaper to buy and put the extra $ into a home warranty for everything.
Being in this business we have to be practical.

You're very smart for timing things the way you did. Getting the child expenses out of the way first. Most people do it the opposite and try to do it all at the same time. Congrats on your home purchase!

They always do on labor day weekend. People aren't typically sitting around their computers, worked it last year and it was crap. I am a work every Saturday kind of girl and I am even taking it off to have some fun.

I am baffled, another 4 days of contest, i just 'recover' from a contest then another one is starting, once they announced it my traffic died again!
You crazy SM!

I have noticed they are holding these contests at the very end or very beginning of the month and these are ALWAYS my very best weeks. Guys seemed to get paid on these days and I see a lot of my regulars and a lot of the "once-a-monthers" pop into my room for a Private or Exclusive. I also have a lot of guys setting off my tip vibe and throwing down huge tips on GS's during these two weeks so I think perhaps its true for many of the models there and SM just wants to take advantage of the potential wallet rinsing that can happen during these two weeks.

KatDaniels
08-30-2018, 06:25 PM
Hey! what is the pause thing when you hear an invite to an exclusive but you don't see it on your screen? Would like to try it. But as it was mentioned most come back to try again so I explain what happened. Thanks all!

Another frigging contest >:(. Traffic goes to complete crap,what there is of it is nothing but cheap ass Beggers,, technical issues right and left.

08-31-2018, 10:59 AM
^^^ Yes, in the last two nights i made crap, could not stay on cam long cause i had to go for a MRI in the morning the other day and for blood tests today, i needed to rest a little before going to the clinic so yeah, it was a waste of time to get on cam, took me two hrs to bath, get ready & get on cam to just make almost nothing there.
I am not the cam model to be able to cam for long hrs, 4-5 hrs is my maximum, with this lack of traffic is difficult to reach a decent amount per week.
I dont know what happens when they announce a contest but it feels like traffic gates are sealed for me, seriously now.
Maybe for some of u top earners popular models is all good but for me 'the regular cammer' is just crap :(

anonamiss
08-31-2018, 11:27 AM
I think the complete lack of traffic also has to do with timing. Its labor day weekend. This is probably the last hoo-rah / last week of doing summer vacation activities for a lot of people. I'm just gonna push through this awful week even if I make peanuts, and hope things start to stabilize after next week.

Chica
08-31-2018, 09:54 PM
I feel so defeated with this zero traffic... it’s just absolutely crazy to stay in an empty room for 20 mins and as soon as someone logs in if it’s a miracle they log out in a few seconds. I mean when will the SM pick up???? It’s crazy!!!!!!!!! I don’t even feel like putting my make up on and doing anything.
Should I just take a few days off? I was trying to work 6 sometimes
7 days a week. And plus this blurry video even though my ranking is excellent and internet as well! What do you ladies do? Just stay in empty rooms?

^ As someone who's been on SM for 4 years, I rely a lot on my regulars. Much of the time they just hang out and tip minimal amounts, with the occasional rare block session once or twice a month. But they do keep the morale of my room high by having conversations. When I seem engaged with my room, it tends to intrigue and attract new guys that pop in, which can lead to shows. Whereas if my room is super quiet and boring, new guys seem to leave immediately.

If you don't already have a general following of guys who keep your room active, my advice is to pretend like you do. Have fake conversations with an empty room. If you appear engaging and interactive, in my experience, new guys are way more likely to talk and buy a show.

Been having a rough weekend myself and am fucking RELIEVED I'm not alone. ^^ And I totally second what anonamiss said, above. I've been camming off/on for years now and while I tend to boot silent lurkers if they fail to respond to me, regs and chatty dudes who contribute to the chat make it way easier. One thing that brought me here to see if anyone else was having a shit time on SM right now is the holiday. Looks like it's crazy slow ALL the time, Labor Day. Good to know, but -but GODDAM I could use a new PC and streaming equipment!!! And that takes $$$$!!! Which I ain't made yet cuz Labor Day!!!

Well somethimes I even see an invite and push the button,but then nothing happens and I still sit in free chat.When I asking guys what happened they answer that they hit the exs button and they were kicked off site due to it.

I think it is 2 consecutive 48 hour countests, so we have contests to look forward to all the way until Wednesday. Next Sunday they're probably be another one. This is all very exciting.

The first 48 hour contest ends in 6 hours. The second one starts immediately after and goes through Tuesday at 5pm PST. (Adjust your time zone accordingly.)

looking back at last years contests, they had a random one-day contest in the middle of October then a bigger Halloween contest. They didn't do any more in September after labor day. Although in 2016 there was a 5 day (24 hour each) contest at the end of September. I hope they give us the rest of September contest-free.

Yes, I see I had my dates wrong. Yesterday, the first day of this contest was an extra good day for me, and today is nearly zero, so my good and bad days don't seem to be related to the contest. I think it's the long weekend keeping guys away because other sites I'm working on (3) are also very slow today.

Cant even do a show without being completely frozen. Cammed a couple days ago with zero issues. Logged in tonight to see if I could catch a couple shows and the broadcaster just freezes up on me. Sigh. Nice.

My patience has worn thin with it to. I was hoping it would have given me better placement but at this point, its not helping. I can just stream directly through the website and at least know there is a better chance of having good shows. I'm sure guys will eventually find me, regardless of placement.

Hello Ellie . I know exactly what you mean? I was told they don't have enough people working for Streamate. I was told I need to contact my internet provider which is Comcast to up my uupload speed and that it was too low My speed is 175 so ,I did call my internet provider and they say they cant do that? I always report girls pounding themselves and having that activated vibe in there vagina. I really think that made it worst.because they think they get more showing that Lush or other vibe inside there vagina. They be on those tokens sites, expose, so they are use to doing it there. I'm like so irk about this. Read the damn rules.About no below the belt exposed. I really wish Streamate get on the ban wagon like Cams.com. The minute they take the pictures while you are in free chat and see vagina boom your suspended, if its more than 2 times they will terminated your account. Look at that site there not many girls on there like Streamate.
I wish they can watch room of numerous reports or change the damn cam features. I remember getting my Streaming Cam lock meaning my profile , because the old way you be looking crazy. Matter of fact it needs badly to go back to how it use to be.
I'm sick of reporting girls weekly for not doing what they suppose too. Yes it s Cam Sex Site but WTF. Just because it is doesn't means you do what the hell you want to do in the free chat. Ughh these customers also complain about rates. I seen girls as low as $1.89 or lower and they be sitting looking like statues in their rooms. My rates are 6 or 7 times as that. I rather get a quality of guys that spends than sitting or they jump in private ask you to do stuff within 2 min. I don't play that I simply look at my stats. And then I block them the next time around or I will let them know I wont do a show with them again.

Hi anyone get their check yet. I swear one day shouldn't made a difference and should of been in my mailbox today. Now my damn account is going to have an overdraft.
My rent money is coming out. I swear I wish Streamate hurry up and find a solution for the US citizens performers for a better banking system.. Other sites have already months ago.
I cant afford FED EX $30.00 and $40.00 a week to come out. It should be a fee for direct deposit with performers that don't mind a small fee for a deposit it better I wouldn't mind then sheesh.
Its like they post our payment for check on Wednesday night and then get the check on a Monday most of the time. No later than Tuesday.
already slow. But then I feel like pull my hair out.

I've only ever streamed directly from the browser, for over 4 years. I don't have the glitches everyone is constantly discussing here. It's hard enough getting customers on SM these days without all the extra problems.

I email the Support and they says thanks for letting us know.. Also having the toy in spreading there legs. I work on here so long on Streamate and there's a handful of newbies,and they think they can do that and leads guys into thinking its okay. But its not because then I get the jackasses that come into my room spread them open them. I said GOLD TIPS wont get me to do that in free chat. How about taking me private exclusive or get a block session. Shaking my head.

I think SM Broadcast is just awful, and I don't have issues streaming from the browser but it does make my feed look more pixelated. I use OBS encoder mostly and I haven't had any connection or quality issues with that. When I was using SM Broadcast and checked my ranking, it was showing me streaming at less than 30 FPS, which is why I stopped using it. Also, I was sometimes having issues getting it to connect at all.

I remember a few years ago before the tip vibes became big, a lot of girls on Streamate were doing "sleep shows" where they would literally just sleep on cam in free chat and somehow still making money, that was so infuriating lol.. Glad they stopped that cause it gave the whole site a really creepy rapey vibe. But yeah the squirting orgasms through mesh panties are pretty hard to compete with :( so I hope they put a stop to that as well.

How do you check your placement? I’ve tried just scrolling through the pages and I never find myself. I can only find myself if I search my cam name directly. I’ve check different categories and still no dice. I made sure that I’m not geoblocking myself by taking it off altogether. What is the damn secret?

Side note: since ditching the encoder/Sm broadcaster I haven’t had a single problem with my stream OR with getting guests to come into my room. I’m almost skeptical of any claims that there will be a placement difference because.....where?

Good morning girls. Im just anoyed because every time that im streaming, streamate disconect me, i mean, im online for 30 or 40 minutes and Bam¡ disconect me. I log in again and after 15 minutes that happen again. This anoying situation is happening to me since monday. I would love to know if someone of u is going thru this because my internet test says all is correct, so maybe is on my end or is SM that lately is failing. Thanks.
