Re: Streamate is a scam!!!!
They pay me every week.
Did you sign up through a studio?
If not, are you on the 3 week delay? I believe if you are in the U.S. you can ask them to waive that, otherwise you should get your first check mailed 3 weeks after the first check where you made payout (usually $20 if you are getting checks.
What payment method did you choose?

Thanks for responding. I am in the U.S. so there is no 3 week delay for me. I just chose to have a check issued by mail. How long did it take for you to receive your first payment?

Thanks for responding. I signed up through their website. I am in the U.S. so there is no 3 week delay for me. I just chose to have a check sent to me by mail. How long did it take for you to receive your first payment?
Re: Streamate is a scam!!!!
Ya, the 3 week delay is an automatic setting. There is a spot in the payment settings that you should have the option to change it, if not, e-mail support. I was confused about it when I started too.

Is there a 3 week delay for everyone that starts including those who are in the United States? I have emailed Liz about my failure to receive payments and she just tells me to have my checks reissued. Why should I pay 25 dollars per check for something that is not my fault?
Re: Streamate is a scam!!!!
I'm in the US and have always been on the delay. I have always had checks issued also. I just stay on the delay, but I do have the option to change it.
But if you are e-mailing Liz she would know if it has been issue already and needs a re-issue. Check before you request a re-issue I would also make sure they have all the correct mailing info on file for you too.
Don't give up on the site yet though. If you can get the payment issue resolved, it sounds like a good fit for you.

I am not doing anymore shows until I get my checks. If I re-issue these checks and I still don't receive them then I am done with the site since at this point I have been technically showing stuff for free.
Re: Streamate is a scam!!!!
First, congrats on a great first two weeks! Second, did you even read all or most of the Streamate thread before starting? Because if so, you would have known to request that delay to be waived at the very beginning. If you want to give up because you did not do your homework, then do so, but really I would learn as much as I can and use that knowledge to my advantage.
I've read and heard a lot of things about Streamate, but not paying isn't one of them.

You dont understand there isn't a delay, there is even a option request to hold for three weeks which I never selected. Even Liz said that I should have received it by now since she is telling me to have the checks reissue!!! Someone else from Streamate told me that I should have received the checks 9 days after they were issued and I did not. My first check was issued December 3rd still don't have it.

They are very reliable. I can see one check getting misdirected but not three. There must be a problem with your mailing address or where you get your mail. I would go in and double check your address.
I've had problems with mail delivery when I've lived in apartments. Do you get your other mail reliably?
I get direct deposit now right to my bank account but when I've gotten checks they arrive every Monday or Tuesday for me.

I checked my account and my mailing address is correct. I do live in an apartment and I am getting other stuff in the mail.

Not sure where you live but do you find mail moves slower this time of year in your area. I was receiving cheques super later this time of year last year. The rest of the year I received them every week on Wednesdays.
Re: Streamate is a scam!!!!
Get a p.o.box before you get them re-issued, I feel like it would save you a lot of headache.

Re: Streamate is a scam!!!!
Streamate is not a scam. Thousands of models work on there and usually get paid reliably. They have glitches from time to time. Email them and politely explain the situation. Email Liz or Vanessa, not through the contact thing on your dashboard. As long as your earnings are still showing,no one ripped you off and no one took your money. Yes, you may have to pay to have a check reissued. Signing up for direct deposit can make things move along smoother if mail isn't so reliable. Also, you should probably move this to camming connection, not the newbie stripper thread. Best of luck and RELAX, you WILL get your money.
Re: Streamate is a scam!!!!
Streamate is not a scam. You check could of gotten lost in the mail. Maybe your mailperson accidentally put it in the wrong slot in your mailbox. Maybe someone stole it? Mail could be backed up because of the holidays in your area.
There is a two week delay with your first paycheck. You should get it next week. If not, contact the site directly. You can contact regular support. If they are giving you the ring around, you can contact Liz or Vanessa.
Streamate does pay their models. If the checks aren't working out, I suggest to switch to Payoneer direct deposit. They do take like 2% out your earnings, but you get your money faster.

Are you talking about the direct bank deposit through Payoneer? I have that and I only pay $3 for each deposit not 2%. It goes directly to my bank account and not to the card itself.

The fee has been $3 every time I have received direct deposit from Streamate.
I am in the US and my check was delayed when I first joined Streamate back in October.
Re: Streamate is a scam!!!!
In payments setting does it say that the payments have been issued already? The Wednesday AFTER the week I work is when the checks get sent out for me and I don't receive them until the following Thursday. So for example if you look at a calendar right now if I worked Monday the 22nd - Friday the 25th they would not even issue my check until Wednesday the 31st and I would get it by mail on January 8th. That's about a 2 week delay anyway.
When I first started camming I felt like my first checks took forever because not only was there a 3 week delay.... I also had to wait about 2 weeks on top of that to receive my checks. So 5 weeks total.
