If ya'll aren't convinced to quit this site, this will do it:
https://www.ambercutie.com/forums/threads/bongacams-please-explain-this-shit.25367/
Bonga is supporting an active thief who doxxes models and steals premium content. We need to get vigilante on this asshole.
I'm so glad you posted this, because I came over here to speak about this very same thing. I just saw the post on ACF. Holy shit...that is a nightmare!

How is not wanting to fuck yourself for a dollar price gorging? Cheap is never good when it comes to cam shows
There was a misunderstanding, I am AGAINST being cheap, this is why I set my prices higher on every site(also because I'm a couple so it's necessary), thus no price gouging, idk how that got misconstrued. Sorry if I confused anyone :P Anonymous camgirl is working the site well with those prices, I've not seen anyone come close to being near that level when I check. That's a major issue, the exchange rates for these foreign countries encourage(or maybe studios do, idk) the girls to do a show for a dollar :/ because they can get more goods and services where they are after converting from usd to a devalued currency.

Every time I've tried this site, it stresses me out cause I have everyone trying to pm me....lol. I split cam so I try to keep my pm'ing to a minimum on token sites that way I can focus on my other sites ( pay per minute site) Is there a way to turn off the pm'ing option? Or whats the best way to handle all the pm's?

yes go to options and select nobody can send me a PM.. the only way they can PM with you is if you PM them first! ...your welcome.. I have mine set to nobody!.. before it was I will allow if they have 50 tokens.. but they have been extra shitty to me the last several days so fuck em, Also you have to be in your room to select that.

So, I got recruited to Bongacams and they added me on skype in case I had any questions. I was given a timeslot for a VIP show tomorrow which I thought was cool because it pays $50 an hour + tips. Anyway, I decided to log in for a bit and test it out and the skype dude started skyping me and telling me what to do in my room like he was watching me. He was literally trying to tell me how to cam and it was creepy as fuck.

I had one of their recruiters contact me via Skype trying to get me to do a VIP show and I said no. They dont really tip on that site and I wont do a full nude show for only fifty bucks. Ive done feature shows on other sites and they pay at least $200 for the hour. I was really nice about it but I swear she did NOT want to take no for an answer. You cant force people to work on your site and trying to makes them think you are desperate for performers which isnt a good sign.

Well Just so you know they have a camscore system which goes down to back the default zero digits if you don't log on for one day. Yes. Lmao!!! By zero digits I mean the low low end below the you have really high or lower before you took a day off it affects it same. I think is because they indeed are desperate for models to cam on this site and models can't take day off even for period. Offsite models get asked to cam constantly being recruited or beggged to return. Lol.

i once got an email from SM about asking to come back but that was only because i emailed them for a little bit with my old/closed camming account not on the one with my new name im currently using. i emailed them to ask about getting my taxes records from that account since it was closed and i couldnt log in and see my payment history anymore

Could someone please tell me how I delete my profile from this site? I have just spoken with live support there who completely ignored my request to close it. After being on there for around 6 months now and always being on the first page rows 1 or 2, in the last 2.3 weeks every time I log on I am now on page 3 or 4 (sooo not worth it), nothing has changed on my end computerwise/settings so I am slightly pissed off by this to say the least.
It was never a big money earner for me, more a side site to split with but it was working ok. When I contacted support they just told me to log in more and earn more tokens - lol how the hell can I do that when I have 3 people in my room and didn't address my request to close my account at all arrghhhhhhh!!!!!!!

1 token is worth .10 cents.. however, everything is in euros.. but its' about that.. so if you are being paid in USD you will be paid a few cents more since the euro is worth more than USD right now.

Hello devildolly,
All payouts are always made in US dollars. For example, models working on RevShare 50% currently get 0.051$ for each Token.

Managers should not be bothering models and begging them to work on the site via Skype or emails the whole sites way of doing things is very backwards . Do you not understand that if managers are REPEATEDLY emailing and Skype messaging performers who DO NOT want to work on the site it is HARASSMENT? If we IGNORE them it means we DO NOT want to have contact with them and dont want to work on the site yet they KEEP DOING IT . If your daughter or someone female you care about kept being repeatedly asked by someone to work for them would you tell "Just ignore it?" I'm sure you would think its creepy and weird. So why are you condoning that kind of behavior here ? You represent the site on this forum its your job to give a damn about us and look out for us. Your basically telling us you and the site think harassment is ok witch is why all the GOOD models worth having will NOT WORK on ur shitty ass site and u have to stoop as low as u guys have been by begging us to work on the site . ITS NOT WORKING - THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS. Your only alienating yourself from the models you NEED on your site by how u guys are going about things. But u wont change so just accept the fact that all u have are girls giving cum shows for pennies and leave us alone .

you know, I just don't think they know any better. despite all my months of camming on Bonga, no one has harrassed me and I quit camming on Bonga couple months ago. pros and cons considered they do have a lot of features I WISH WISH streamate had. AND their customer/model support (despite a language barrier and poor communication skills) their model support was the best I've ever had to work with. They took care of some very important things for me WITHIN 24 hours.
Honestly, they have so much potential but no smarts where it counts. Too bad for them, they are missing out on some great American (and Canadian) models.
I'm keeping my account/profile active and the ONE thing that would bring me back? Raise the privates rates to at least MATCH MyFreeCams or give the model the ability to adjust her private rates like Chaturbate. If you wanna hang with the big boys, you gotta play like you're a big boy. Hopefully they will learn from reading all of our posts

Maybe I'm being a bit cynical and somewhat jaded but my POV is this thread has been up ALL YEAR and multiple girls have posted in this thread multiple times about the things that need to be changed and it hasnt happened IMO that means they dont care to change and they arent listening to us. They havent changed a single fucking thing we told them to so until it does me and several other top tier performers are staying away .

Hello xxxGothBarbie!
Yes, Bonga is a token site. Model can earn tokens in Free chat by receiving tips and also in pay-chats, like private, full private, group and voyeur. Besides, we have contests and vip shows, where every model can earn additional money.
Despite some negative reviews there are lots of models who are happy to work with BongaCams (https://en.bongacams.com/) :) We are doing our best to provide wonderful atmosphere and best working conditions for our models. We take into account all the comments.
We will be more than happy to see you as one of our gorgeous models. You should definitely try us out and make an account on BongaCams (https://en.bongacams.com/).
Feel free to contact our friendly 24/7 support (https://en.bongacams.com/contact-support). They will gladly help you with all the questions you might have.

No you don't, or the rates for privates would be an acceptable level for this line of work and there would be absolutely NO refunds or chargebacks (just like you promised multiple times on various forums). Your business model is like something from the 1970's which is a real shame as the actual infrastructure of the site is second to none. If you actually gave a shit about models you would actually implement some of the suggestions you've had here so that western models (who charge a living wage not pennies!) could start making you some serious money.

I can make that in no time somewhere else... As a US cam model I think it's just a rotating door.. I am loyal to all my cam sites but if I have to put up with more than I am getting paid it's not worth it.

That stills runs the risk of being short changed A LOT if he happens to do a really long show . You "think" about doing it? Well a lot of us are "thinking" about working on ur site but refuse to work on a site were the culture is to be as cheap as possible along with being disrespected . This site isnt going to go very far when the kind of performers you should want and need on ur site to have it stick around for awhile or at lest make u decently more money dont wanna work on it so you guys can go think about that whiling your "thinking" about changing the price structure of privates .

This is what Bonga sends you when you don't cam for awhile...
It's like they think models are illiterate so they made a step-by-step infographic to make sure we clearly understand how to get on cam. Models certainly can't be smart enough to know that Bonga is one of the most unfair of sites for compensation, have vague rules and regulations and appeal to the demographic of the homeless.

yeah, I haven't been on Bonga in a couple months or so. Just because of the cheap rates/guys. I had a few really good tippers and they do like the lovense toys, support is always helpful and my direct deposit was always right on time and they pay every week. It's just those low private rates, subliminally it tells me I'm not worth it. I know I can ask for a tip before the private, but I just hate doing that and geez they don't usually respond to tip for C2C either.
I kept my profile/account open just hoping they get those private rates up. AND AND Above all, in all the hours, days, weeks and months I cammed on Bonga I NEVER ONCE! NOT ONCE had streaming issues. Smooth fucking sailing with NOT ONE glitch. God damn that's good. And the quality of their stream is the best. If only....if only

That's how I feel too. It's really a shame.
They have all the tech in place, good support but they won't gives us the one tool that would make it worth our time. I won't go back until they raise rates, if they ever will.
I dont think they'll raise the pvt rates cause they just cater to a different market, i think they wanna attract all the cheap members who cant afford other site's rates so they go and spend there and be cheap, means they prefer volume than quality, it's their strategy.
Yeah, anything else than the money rocks on Bonga but we go on cam for the money so... money matters the most here, i rather 'suffer' on a glitchy site like SM and make me money than be happy cause of tech/support on a smooth one like Bonga but make no money. Pity indeed.
Also, except AW in the UK none of the european sites practice high fees, on xmodels the pvt rate is 0.8 euros or so, many europeans except the brits are not used to pay high for cam shows, i mean these sites with low fees started a trend here & bonga follows that trend.

I was just saying for all the regulars I built up on there and now I have virtually NONE.. as soon as I left the top row... I barely get anything at all.. I spend most of my days making $1 a day now.. and maybe have 1 day that gets me to $35 for the week not even enough to make payout!... so I was saying.. they don't care! they don't like you.. they just like if you are on the top row or fucking in free chat...
I dont think they'll raise the pvt rates cause they just cater to a different market, i think they wanna attract all the cheap members who cant afford other site's rates so they go and spend there and be cheap, means they prefer volume than quality, it's their strategy.
Yeah, anything else than the money rocks on Bonga but we go on cam for the money so... money matters the most here, i rather 'suffer' on a glitchy site like SM and make me money than be happy cause of tech/support on a smooth one like Bonga but make no money. Pity indeed.
Also, except AW in the UK none of the european sites practice high fees, on xmodels the pvt rate is 0.8 euros or so, many europeans except the brits are not used to pay high for cam shows, i mean these sites with low fees started a trend here & bonga follows that trend.

This ^^ exactly this happened to me - I was always on the top row and had a steady stream of regulars that would go private or pile into voyeur when I was in a show on another site at the same time. Then all of a sudden I logged in one day and my placement had dropped .... then another day dropped some more, until eventually I was on page 3 or something - all traffic gone and around 1 - 3 people in my room if I was 'lucky'.
The site was only ever a split site for me, I wasn't earning massive amounts on there but it was a nice little chunk to add to the rest of the days earnings. I don't know, but I get the feeling too that because I wasn't fucking myself in free chat that affected my placement. The best feeling ever when I finally discovered how to delete my account :)

It's because webcam chat in the UK grew primarily out of the adult TV phone in channels which are far more prevalent over here than in the US. They are regulated by OFCOM and subject to restrictive phone pay regulations which means they can only charge up to £1.50 per minute. In practise most only pass on a small fraction of that price to the model or chat operator. Hence why UK sites are really not worth it to work on.

Hmm seems to be there M.O. .. yea it was just a side site to me also and I only did public shows when we reached some massive countdown that would take 3+ days ..just as a reward for spending money on me regularly.. but I can't keep a site going that is giving me $1 a day!.. It's a drain on my computer.. I am going to cut back for now to weekends only.
