Hi, I'm fairly new to this forum. I've been doing a ton of reading as I just started camming a couple of months ago. I just want to say first that I am amazed at how close knit this community seems to be and all of the info you wonderful ladies have placed here has been sooo helpful to me. I am super thankful to have found this forum :)
I am currently camming on Bonga. I'm still figuring things out and the question I have is about the Countdown option. When you do a countdown, once goal is reached....do you do the show in private or is this a public show? I searched around and could not find the answer myself so I thought I'd just come out and ask. Thanks for any info on this :)

It is a public show... I gave up on them.. they just made me upset.. because all the tips I already worked for .. for tits, ass, feet, stand up.. and then offering them a public literally free show on top of it where NO one tips in.. . I gave up.. that was my experience.. everyone has a different experience.

Ok that's what I thought. I figured out pretty quickly (through reading in here) that Bonga def has a different breed of customer. From the get go I made the choice not to do certain things in free chat. I will show tits, ass, and whatever but it makes zero sense to go to town on myself for all to see. At first these dudes were making me feel like I was "doing it wrong" but after finding this forum I realize I have the right idea but I'm just working for the wrong site. I was hoping the Countdown option might help generate more money but I refuse to do shows in public. Thanks hun for the info

If they really want to see my pussy I charge the equivalent of $50.. believe it or not I have had guys pay that on cam4 , chaturbate and bonga...lol.. if they want it that bad... so illogical they will choose that over going to pvt .. but some do

Nice lol I have had guys ask me how much to show pussy and usually Ill say "In pvt only" but I'll keep that in mind and try it out. May be illogical to us, but they aren't thinking when their cock is in their hand lol. Aaaand this is why I'm doing this

Quick question...Usually Hot Mode resets on Sunday. Yesterday I worked bout 4 hours and when I logged off I had like 9 hours left til I go into Hot Mode. I log in today and its reset to 15 friggen hours. Anyone know why? I guess I thought I knew how it worked but now Im confused

The hot mode time depends on your average online time. If you work less, the time will be less too.

someone said on the streamate/venting thread that you can set a token price for "forced private/voyeur mode" is this correct? I don't remember that option when I was there. And it was one of my biggest complaints that a model couldn't set her own rates for privates.
Can yo do it for privates now too?

So i gave this site a go last night - averaging 200 people in my room - not bad, BUT! All these fuckers seem capable of is 1 token tips... I mean, seriously?! I got 2 100 token tips when i first logged in and then it just turned into this trickle of 1 token tips, ugh. You ladies are right, these fuckers are CHEAP!! Also, the math doesn't add up - I got 2 100 token tips right off the bat (@ 45% should have been $9), my cut per the site was like $5.35..... someone want to explain this to me??

Tokens are only worth 0.025 on bonga as opposed to 0.05 everywhere else.

Yes, if you're going to work Bonga all tokens you charge need to be doubled.

Dear models!
We received a couple of requests with questions about whether payments are still being made through the ePayments payment system.
We kindly ask you not to worry, the site is operating as usual, and all payment methods are still available to you: ePayments, WebMoney, ePayService, Paxum, Cryptocurrencies, Direct Deposit and Check.
If you have additional questions, please contact our support team.
Wishing you happy holidays and a wonderful New Year!

actually I read on another site that epayments have stopped adult payments. Is this not affecting Bonga?

Hello, laurielegs!
Thank you for the question!
This information is completely incorrect and ePayments payment system continues working with adult sites as usual. We also recommend it as a convenient and reliable withdrawal option.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact our support team.
Thank you!

Dear models!
We keep receiving inquiries about whether it is still possible to withdraw money via ePayments system. Please don't worry, ePayments system continues to work with adult sites as before. The problem with earnings withdrawal thorough this service was actually experienced by only a single website.
We can safely recommend you to use ePayments for payouts, as it is a highly reliable and convenient method of money withdrawal.
Should you have any additional questions, please contact our Support Team (https://en.bongacams.com/contact-support).
Thanks!

So there are still no issues with epayments on bonga. Another site made an announcement which led to misunderstandings. They failed at working with the most convenient method to withdraw my money.

Also I'm not too fond of the catch phase at the top of the ebony category : These ebony girls enjoy interracial sex and are ready to show what they’ve got on live webcam shows. Join ebony models in chat to see big black asses.

Ugh... I've just started camming. Bonga is the second site I tried, and I thought it might work out for me. After reading this, I'm a little discouraged... What sites besides Bonga have large, non-US audiences? (I chose Bonga because I can still get traffic after blocking all of the US - and I really liked their onboarding.)

Here's a list of Camsites, Clipsites etc. There are links to important threads that could help you, including some info on European based camsites.

Was about to try Bongacams when they first announced, but there were some shady, questionable conditions and as a result I didn't proceed further.

I remember using Bongacams when I first started sex work. I started in December of 2016 I think and didn't really know much about what to expect from sex work. Beggars really pissed me off, wanting to see my pussy for 5 tokens. Ugh, ridiculous! But, from the bright side, I got a very loyal regular on Bonga that isn't stingy and is still around today although I've moved sites a lot. :)

bonga has great traffic, both globally as well as in western countries like the usa. Of course, as a russian webcam site, bonga has a lot of russian speaking members, but it doesn't make traffic worse. and among them a lot of wealthy members who can afford to spend tons of cash. If someone has not succeeded on a certain site don't think that you will have the same result. you have to try out by yourself.

Doesn’t most members being Russian make communication difficult? I’m in the western part of Europe and the majority of Russians I’ve met don’t speak English:(

most of the european russians I've met speak two to three languages including english. see how it can be different for us)) anyway, you always may use the translator. btw bonga has one
To meet a person who speaks a foreign language it's like a journey for me)) especially if this person from a country I haven't been to yet. a good reason to have a long nice conversation. and be sure such a member will want to return to your room again and again )

Well you will admit it sounds a bit hinky when you talk about how much you love long conversations etc. No cam model enjoys long unpaid conversations lol. Now if you said they were doing shows with you where they just wanted to talk than we might figure that you managed to figure something out that the majority of the other ladies haven't but no one wants to work for free.

I do nothing for free. but I try all the ways how to convert potentials to regulars. of course as a model your success depends on your personality but I think the conversation is the right way to find out what user may like and capture his attention. isn't that true?
and I'm not saying I spend all my time on freeloaders and beggars, but I can pay attention to member who currently don't have tokens but he seems interested in me as a person and in the future he will appreciate my time by spending tokens in my room

i never made more than 5 cents on bonga. after trying
girl/girl shows
boy/girl shows
girl alone shows
its the only site i have never made anything from.
high traffic (mostly bots or empty tokens)
freeloaders and demands.
really sad because as i stated before i love the platform, the customer service is very helpful (love their live chat)
and they have so many great bots and programs.
ive tried atleast 5 sites . but i never made anything on bonga. ever. like really. i mean 5 cents. TOTAL FROM TRYING 3 TIMES.

I guess the issue is the region preference... most members expect models to speak Russian. For me it kind of works anyways because I multistream. Sometimes I get luckier on BongaCams even. Also I heard rumors that they have like an increased revenue share for North America now but I didn't go deep in it. I usually just talk to support when I have some connection problems lol.
