seashell, they just sent me an email saying the same. I live in the U.S. for gosh sake and they're acting like Chase Quickpay isn't available in this area. I call bullshit. I've been paid by Chase Quickpay by friends before and I've paid by Chase Quickpay to a friend who is in the U.K. with no issues. Chase Quickpay should be available anywhere to any bank. They're just using this as an excuse to prolong having to pay us the money that they owe us. Paypal isn't even an option for me because I'm banned from Paypal. I'm putting them on blast all over Twitter.

same here. I emailed them back asking if there is any other way to get paid. I don't want to risk losing my Paypal account.
I know for a fact Chase quickpay is available to me. It probably costs them to send because they are in Canada. If they want to work with international money for an adult purpose they need to suck it up and pay the costs and get a real processor.
You know, I just realized these jokers are probably not paying high risk merchant prices and trying to hide that from their processor. They are so unprofessional. Next thing they will probably lose their processor due to adult content.
So stupid because it's a great platform and the traffic is there.

It shouldn't cost them anything extra to send. I know this because I am in US and I've sent money via Chase Quickpay to a friend in UK. I wasn't charged any extra fees for it. Then again, maybe because I was an individual person sending money and not a company. I don't know but it is major bullshit. If enough of us complain I think they'll have to take action.

Any updates of anyone who has been paid out by them? I created a new Paypal account to try to get payment faster that way, since they claimed they'd send payment within 48 hours. It didn't work, still waiting.

Here's my Peeks update: I finally got paid after a while also idk why it took them so long. I kind of like the Paypal option though because the money transfers almost immediately if you have it sent to a debit card rather than your bank account.
I haven't been on in a while but I got a regular off there who sent money to my Paypal account as an xmas present without me having to go live or anything! I'm hoping he makes a habit of this lol. I love having a good regular on Peeks but I hate that when other viewers see one person tipping alot it makes them think they can sit there for free as if I wouldn't notice them contributing. What dumbasses lol.
Also someone sent me a message saying there was a recording of my live on some weird website. I don't get why anyone would record me though because I don't show anything. This was just a good reminder of why I keep my clothes on and stick to just a little cleavage and my face!

Hope you realize the risk you are taking. Once they realize you are accepting funds for adult purposes Paypal will likely freeze your money (eventually keeping it) and any linked accounts, could fine you $500 plus bye bye paypal account for good. They can even go into your linked account and recover any money that is charged back by a disgruntled customer. Doesn't really matter that you aren't showing anything but the fact that Peeks has adult content in general.

I recent;y logged back in here on Peeks & saw that this reg had been sending me messages begging me to log back on for a private show. I'm just gonna use this site to promote traffic to indy sites for myself as well as others. Aside from Paypal, do they not do direct deposit? They still want my ID since I've been streaming in the 18 & up section, did any of you have to upload that as well in order to get paid out?

You think they could be doing this because we’re making a lot more than they expected us to make and are looking for ways out of paying us?
WendiStarr
01-01-2018, 04:24 PM
Yes, I have no doubt in my mind. There are still people that I've heard from who have been waiting for 3+ months on payment.

I still haven't broadcast due to this non payment stuff that's going on. I figure they'll eventually pay you guys but fuck the waiting ugh. We all have bills to pay, besides with all the traffic & cash flow there's really no excuse for them to still everyone.
seashell

I'm not broadcasting again unless they pay me with something other than PayPal. No way I'm risking that. The app was nice, but I can make the same or more, and get paid on time, with another site.
laurielegs
02-22-2018, 12:57 PM
I may try broadcasting again since they now have something other than Paypal.
Got an email today about a virtual visa that you can pay for things online and apparently they will also offer a plastic prepaid one later. I'll probably stick with the virtual one since I don't want another prepaid card to keep track of and fees that go along with that. I only make a bit of side money there anyway so a virtual card will be fine for now. I pay most of my bills and do a lot of online shopping anyway so don't really need another card. I get a bit of passive income there on my videos so it's a little spending money.
I'll post back here once I make payout and use the card for some purchases or bills.

Is this lucrative or would you say it's just side money?

For me it's just been side money but I'd say if someone put a lot of time and effort into it there is some potential there, especially if you have a quality camera on your phone and connect to wireless instead of using your phone's connection so it's a fast feed.

I signed up for a card, but I'm nervous to try it. The company they're using looks brand new. It's called Berkeley Payment Solutions. I just want to know why Peeks refuses to use a legitimate adult payment processor that can do direct deposit.
https://berkeleypayment.com/
https://twitter.com/BerkeleyPmnt
Peeks gives zero information on any fees related to the prepaid card, and I can't find the info on the Berkeley website, either.

Do they still have the payment delays or are they paying their broadcasters in a timely manner now? I haven't broadcast on there anymore since December.

trying to find it on this thread but maybe i'm blind, coins are each worth 5 cents or 10 cents?
This was asked a while back lol and I cant find the answer.
What are coins worth?
My ID is pending approval, I cant get into my wallet until it is approved
WendiStarr
03-29-2018, 04:40 PM
I think 1 coin is worth 5 cents. It used to be worth more until Peeks got greedy and started doing shady shit like taking a higher percentage of earnings, delaying payments, and in some cases not paying broadcasters at all.

I see that is a risk :( But I will let yall know if I have a issue.

I went back on Peeks this week because I'm missing so much money from the FirstChoice mess, wanted to make something extra while waiting my payments from other sources.
I had signed up for the virtual Visa card, made payout and cashed out, had the money in my virtual card account 10 minutes later, so this may be an option for those of you as strapped for cash as I am right now. Can't use the virtual card except online, but I was able to use it to pay a bill that was going to be late so that was a relief!
They are working on getting a real plastic card that can be sent, plus are working on desktop streaming, which I'm glad to hear. I find it hard streaming for too long with my phone if I'm going to do over 30 mins or so.
Edited to add - another option to use your card, if you have any apps for ordering food online for pickup I'm finding that the numbers work for that too. I added my peeks visa virtual card number to my taco bell app and picked up my order fine, charged my card and everything good. No stupid cross-border fees either. So far the card seems to be without any fees at all.

That's awesome! I'm glad we finally have someone here who's tested it out. :)
I keep looking at the Peeks app on my phone and wishing I was back on it, lol. Might take it for a spin again.

I've used peeks, just like socially but I ended up much preferring live.me I've been streaming for a month, all vanilla stuff but it really can pay off good.
Peeks was just too many perves and not fun for me, but I could see how it could be easier to make money on quickly if you're just starting out vanilla-ish streaming and don't want to sit around for free establishing a decent level and following and needing to pass a threshold to cashout
WendiStarr
04-18-2018, 09:11 AM
I tried it out again, but was so annoyed by all of the guys messaging me just to tell me that I'm hot or ask me if I have snapchat or kik. I really don't care to chat unless I'm getting paid. Maybe I'll try again when I'm not totally turned off and annoyed by men.

Interesting. Live.me redirects to twitch.tv. Are you streaming yourself playing games?
I've streamed on a few vanilla sites but I guess I'm too boring lol. Also I get an endless stream of "show tits" even on vanilla sites and it ends up making me no money because you can't show anything anyway

Anyone in US still using Peeks? I tried to cash out and noticed that the only payment option now was for direct deposit. I'd already had payment set up before. Now they made me fill out the direct deposit crap again, only for them to say that they don't do direct deposit if you are from the US. Before they had that stupid Visa card or Paypal but I couldn't even pick either of those. There are no other options to choose from when attempting to withdraw your pay. What the hell is this now?

There's only the visa.
So far no fees and I can use it for everything I've tried to - ordering food from online apps at any restaurant that does takeout, paying my bills online, ordering from Amazon, even added the card # to Paypal successfully. Only thing you can't do is have a card to pay in person or get out cash. I pay all but one of my monthly bills online so it works for me. One email said they eventually will offer a physical card.
It's not bad for side money, wouldn't make it a main site.

when you select it as your payout you click the link in your dashboard and set it up. It's not a real card, just a virtual one with a card number you can use online.

Ah ok cool, I've set those up before.
I signed up and did a 18+ show. I’m ashamed :(. I thought I was doing big things (because I didn’t read but a page and 1/2 of this thread or any of the information on the site) I got tipped a little over 300 coins so I figured I had $75-$150. OMG!

So someone on here mentioned that we can only use our earnings from this site on a virtual card. They said they were able to order food with it but today when I tried ordering online from Chipotle it wouldn't work :( What do you guys use yours for?

Probably like anywhere else, depends on your hustle. I only make like $20 or so for a couple hours so I've quit going on.
FYI if anyone is thinking of working there in the next few weeks might want to wait. I went on yesterday and found I had $25 waiting from money made from prior recordings I had on there so I cashed out to the virtual card. Cashout worked but no money on my card so I asked them what's going on.
Got an answer today that they are backed up with payments whatever that means and that I shouldn't expect my money for up to 3 WEEKS! It used to credit within 10 minutes so I'm suspicious something is going on with the finances there. I probably won't be working there again.

update - checked back to see and they finally credited me to my virtual card and are sending out real physical visa cards now for the future. Fee is only $5 to get a card.
Not sure if Ill go back on but wanted to post this for anyone who might be considering it and would like to have an actual physical visa card instead of the virtual online one.

Hey guys just read through this thread. I wanted to give a tip on the virtual visa cards. You can buy yourself an Amazon gift card with it that keeps it from expiring. If it's the same kind of virtual visa that I've used in the past that's what I prefer to do with them.
Gonna sign up on here and see how it goes.

Did u guys read that now when guys buy coins on the app the funds will be held for like 45 - 50 BUSINESS days for us?? that s effing ridiculous! pardon my French but come on...
They owe me a total of 800 or so that who knows when and IF I will ever see..... ughhhhhhhhhhhh
Is there any other similar app that actually PAYS performers on time??
