In the USA at least, camming income provides an additional risk. If the US IRS and state tax agencies are informed by the webcam host ( filing 1099 automatic income reports ) that girl X had 12 months * $3,060 per month in camming income, this is enough income to disqualify her from being eligible for gov't provided rent subsidies, gov't provided 'free' health care, gov't provided utility bill subsidies, gov't provided food stamps etc. If the camgirl had failed to report her camming earnings, and had continued to collect these gov't benefits, once the gov't discovers this she may be subject to fraud charges, as well as repayment of the cash value of the benefits she fraudulently collected. And if she does report her camming income thus making herself ineligible for these gov't benefits, as is required by US law, the camgirl will then have to pay full shot out of her own pocket for rent, health care, utility bills, groceries etc. From that standpoint the US camgirl may actually wind up 'worse off' by earning $36,000 per year from camming versus not working and continuing to collect gov't benefits ... and particularly so if she has children who would also lose benefit eligibility if she earns 'too much' money.
