Re: BongaCams Official CC Thread - it's actually not that bad!
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 .

Is Bonga a token site? I've been thinking of trying them out but dunno if it's worth the hassle after all the negative things I've heard on here.

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 :) 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.
Feel free to contact our friendly 24/7 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.

Re: BongaCams Official CC Thread - it's actually not that bad!
raise the private rates to at least match myfreecams, or give us the option to pick our private rates like Chaturbate. I don't see why that's a big deal. Then I'll be back

Re: BongaCams Official CC Thread - it's actually not that bad!
After my $50 check last week I am thinking of calling it quits.. bonga was great but now I have been on there for more than 6 months and am at the bottom of the page because these spoiled guys don't want to pay, I am not feeling on wasting my time on here anymore.. #nothappynow .. you us girls are right to not waste your time.. because it's not worth it unless you are on the top row... and now other US cam girls are on the top row and I am at the bottom.. well I am about done with it.. because I thought it was worth it before to put up with the shenanigans but now not so much.... now they treat me like some desperate whore on the bottom of the page willing to crawl into the gutter .. because I am no longer at the top.. sayonara #bonga.. I am that pissed off.

Re: BongaCams Official CC Thread - it's actually not that bad!
Oh you left? I am thinking of leaving to .. or at least just sitting in voyeur and ignoring them.. they have no interest in us models.. I just got done arguing with a us customer about his 20 cent tip.. he thinks that is completely acceptable because that's what the culture is.. well as an American.. it's not worth it if you are the bottom of the page.. sorry not willing to show pussy for 5 cents!.. and I always thought the customers were such a pain in the ass but were worth it to me before.. but for $50 a week? for my other cam sites to see me scowl and grunt? 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.

Re: BongaCams Official CC Thread - it's actually not that bad!
Try being from the UK, it's worth even less for us. Those guys have no excuse either because many of them ARE on mfc and know exactly what they are doing. They tip $20 on mfc and 2 cents on bonga LOL!

Re: BongaCams Official CC Thread - it's actually not that bad!
I gotcha!.. even worse.. deplorable!.. that's what has sickened me on this site.. the entire culture is to tip low.. so they get some customers who actually have money and they just follow along with the low tippers, just why bother..

Hello sexysusie!
Thank you for your comment :) There are no chargebacks or refunds anymore. BongaCams has been covering them since January 2016.

Hello JessRyan!
Thank you for your comment. We think about giving models the option to pick their private rates in the future, but the prices are fixed at the moment. Some models often ask users for the tips they would like to get before starting a private show and it really works. :)

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 .

Re: BongaCams Official CC Thread - it's actually not that bad!
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

Re: BongaCams Official CC Thread - it's actually not that bad!
Yea I have a problem with the customers.. that's it!... It's hard to steer them in the right direction.

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.

Re: BongaCams Official CC Thread - it's actually not that bad!
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.

Re: BongaCams Official CC Thread - it's actually not that bad!
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...

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.

Re: BongaCams Official CC Thread - it's actually not that bad!
Yeah and the girls have insane targets. They get a flat rate for being on cam but then its money money money no money kick the bitch out. Wont work next. Pretty brutal TV.

Re: BongaCams Official CC Thread - it's actually not that bad!
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.
