    Duh Stupid me! (webcammodel.biz)

    Luckily I started looking on this forum. You girls let me know how much streamate actually pays. Apparently I had signed up through a studio. WTH? I was only getting 25%. It has taken a little bit of research and tireless emailing with multiple support people to finally get this from the studio.

    Hi Xxxxx,

    The reason we get a portion of your cut is because you appear on our
    websites and we send customers directly to you. We will terminate your
    account. Streamate will not allow you to transfer your account to them. I
    have already spoken with them as it violates their policies.

    You have to sign up again through to set up a new
    account. They will not pay you 35%. What you will get with them will be
    less.

    Best of luck to you.

    Boy was I naive and thank you everyone for all your info. I know this is probably a bunch of bull but will there be any issues starting a new account?

    what? that's a boldfaced lie.

    i'm glad you figured this out! i hope you manage to get your new streamate account set up successfully with no more issues. i didn't have problems going from a solo to a studio account (for daily pay) but i know some girls have had issues going from studio to solo on streamate - hopefully since your studio closed your account you will be fine.

    unless streamate directly tells you are not getting 35% don't believe them

    When I was starting out and i was held captive the man who had me was running a webcam studio. when i finally got away from him and moved out on my own and signed up back on streamray they claimed he had to sign documents saying i am no longer working for him, but the bastard dropped dead.

    streamray even had the nerve to say I had to send in a dead certificate of the man. I keep pressing and pushing and I got signed up on streamray and paid directly and keep all of what I earn from streamray.

    so I am sure if you keep pushing with streamate you will get paid directly. even webcams.com I thought teasecamz was another company then did some digging to discover it was webcams and contacted them and told to remove my account or remove me from being under teasecamz

    A part of all you earn is yours to keep. It should be not less than a tenth no matter how little you earn. It can be as much more as you can afford. - Richest Man in Babylon

    Streamate unfortunately does have agreements with certain studios to block you from signing up independently for up to one year. I really hope they don't enforce that with you, but in case they do you could always sign up with Jenny's service and get a little less percent, but with daily pay. I like the daily pay so much that I took a smaller percent for the convenience of getting paid daily.

    I was about to say what laurie said.
    They will not let you sign up if you where with webcammodels.biz
    I think theres a rule though , If you spent under a certain amount of time
    working online for that studio , They let you in sm as independent.

    What stinks is right after I received that email I tried to log back in to Streamate and my account was already deactivated. I'm completely gone. Luckily last night I had gotten a sudden urge to start an excel spreadsheet with all of my sessions so I could track the regulars and the repeat pop in/outs. So I atleast have an idea of how much my next two checks should be. I started the process of opening another account the other night hoping that I could maybe shorten the amount of downtime I had to take because I knew that no matter what I was going to quit with webcammodel.biz. Received an email from streamate this afternoon stating that they couldn't accept my photo id to open an account because it was already connected to one. Replied and sent a message to support under 3 different subjects so hopefully I will get someone to reply that has some sense. The support at streamate is hit or miss.

    Luckily I have a research paper due in class next week and another short paper to work on this week so I will be able to do something productive if not pay the bills. LOL

    Wish me luck. Crossing my fingers!

    So, you never actually worked for the studio?

    I'd try to ask Streamate to reactivate your old account if you can. Explain that you were DECEIVED into signing up, not knowing it was actually Streamate.

    I HATE these studios and their trickery.

    Update:

    I know this is way late, but figured I would let you know how things turned out.

    I have a new account under streamate. It just took forever to open it and there was a lot of runaround. Model support is absolutely horrible on the site. Oh well.

    So anyways after having the new account for a couple weeks I started looking a little closer at my earnings. After doing the math it appeared that I was only receiving 32% so I emailed streamate and asked them about it. They said that is correct and my percentage is 32%. WTF? I don't get it, but it is more than I was making under a studio. Still unsure what is going on though.

    32% ??? That is odd.

    You need to make sure you are really with sm, and if so, why are they not giving you 35%
    Taking a break from all unproductive shit will prove to be the best choice you can make.
