BongaCams is a fast developing Cyprus-based site with variety of active streamers and good member traffic. Girls, boys, couples and transsexuals can join the site as models. All broadcasts on BongaCams are free to watch and some streamers choose to perform explicit show in public chat for tips (tokens) while others save the erotic action for private or group shows.
Have in mind that any visitor can watch your free public show, even unregistered quests but if a user wants to see a model do a specific action or watch her perform exclusively they must tip or take her private.
Cams are sorted by CamScore (site`s rating system), number of visitors, number of followers, recent log-ins and sign-up. Members can add models to favorite, buy their uploaded clips and photos, leave messages on public wall in their profile.
Another way for members to search for models is by categories. You may choose your categories in a “What I do on webcam” section upon registration, or later, when you edit your profile. The more categories you choose the more chances you get to find regulars that are looking for a specific show.

Earnings and Commissions
We already told you how to raise your model share (by default it is 40%). Most models are paid 50% of token amount. 1 token costs $0.05. Once you have 20 token on your balance that means you earned one dollar for yourself (it will be less if you are working with a studio, then you need to give some of your payments to studio as well).
On BongaCams model can earn tips in public chats. Most set up a tip menu with various options and actions for users to tip for and announce a room goal (a certain show that a model will perform for X amount of tokens).
In tip menu you can add such options as flashes (quickly show a nude part of your body – tits, ass or pussy), outfit change, get naked, blowjob tease, dance, show feet etc.
If you feel shy and don`t want to undress in public you can try working as a private chat model.
By default, your rates are following:
Private chat: 60 tokens/minute (spies allowed).
Full private chat: 90 tokens/minute (no spies allowed).
Spy on private chat: 15 tokens/minute.
Group chat: 30 tokens/minute.
You can set your own rates from 30 to 250 tokens per minute for private chat, 30 to 300 tokens per minute for full private chat, 10 to 150 tokens per minute for group show and 5 to 80 tokens for spy show.
Minimum payout for models is 50$ (1000 tokens), for studios – 100$ (2000 tokens).
Streamers are paid every Friday for the previous week (from Monday to Sunday). If you don`t have the necessary amount on your token balance for withdrawal your payments will be on hold until you earn at least 1000 tokens.
You may request an immediate payout if you have withdrawn at least 200$ for the past 6 months (minimum 20$, maximum 500$ per day).
You will find request payment button in your model center, on above panel.
Every week there is a contest on BongaCams. The top 3 earners get a hefty sum as a prize, top 100 earners get 15$. You need to get points in order to get to the top 100 at least: stream often and of course get as much tokens as possible.

These are some of reviews about streaming on BongaCams as a model
“To me, they have the best payout options and the most variety. Support is great too. However, traffic sometimes leaves much to be desired. I also don`t like the fact that they can close your account if you are inactive for 6 months”.
“Camming is not my only source of income and I do it sometimes as a part-time activity. I usually stream on BongaCams from phone when I go out somewhere or do yoga outside and that helps me earn some extra tokens while I just perform my daily routine. There are not a lot of generous users but zIz have some real whales every once in a while”
“The biggest advantages for me is the fast withdrawal and payment and technical support – you can solve your problem easily in live chat. Sometimes I struggle to earn decent amount of tokens though. I`ve noticed that I usually earn more when I am laid-back and stream outside, don’t care much about the show than when I come prepared, in sexy lingerie and full make-up”.
“I split-stream on Bonga (my second site is Chaturbate) and I do fine on both sites. I know some models don`t like Bongacams but it takes a while to understand their members and develop your strategy. It took a while too to find out what works best for m and I used to get a lot of trolls and freeloaders in my chat room but now I have regulars that protect me from that and always willing to support (with tips too).”
