17 Dec: Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, and the christmas promotions are starting up. Today until 21st of Dec at CamContacts you can compete for up to $1,500 either as a viewer or a chathost. [Visit the site for details] 28 Nov: Full review now up of XLiveCam - an originally French site. [read review] [visit site] [make comment] 28 Nov: Spread4U are boasting a bunch of new features:
That last one is good though. They also introduced a limited on free chat, if you never buy credits you can't stay in free chat forever. Helps to keep beggars and freeloaders out of the site. [read (old) review] [visit site to check it out] 27 Nov: Celebrate Thanksgiving at Flirt4Free with a 9% discount if you pay $99 you get 1,080 credits. New customers also get the "120 Free Credits" when joining for the first time.[ visit site] [read review] 26 Nov: Dropped by NeonCams and they are still growing -- slowely but surely -- now about 30 hosts online at a time. Which is better than NeedLive which seems to have shrunk slightly down from 30s to 20s since I last checked. 25 Nov: Camshow.com was previously known as camsofasia.com but they changed the name to reflect and intention (not yet realized) to expand to all types of hosts. [read review] [visit site] [make comment] 24 Nov: Finally a porn star show where I really recognise the name! Jenna Jameson (yes she is in wikipedia) is on camz / privatecamz on the 8th Dec at 9PM EST. You should be able to join the chat with only a free account. 13 Nov: Peekshows announce "PPMS (Peekshows Private Messaging System)", basically internal email between viewers and hosts who they have had shows with. Nice but not exactly exciting or original. 12 Nov: imLive have a weird promotion for Thanksgiving. Twice a day at 6Am and 6Pm the first 6 guests to pay get their money back, up to 100 Credits per day and each customer can win only once. Oh and check out the new wording on their host signup form; you are no longer a Model or a Chathost -- now you are a "Celebrity Porn Star"! All true in one sense! 3 Nov: A great question from a new chathost in the forum: "Overcoming cam shyness?" Do you have some suggestions for amycam on how she can increase her confidence? Please post them for her in the forum! 30 Oct: PrivateFeeds is doing a Miss Halloween 2008 contest, themed shows etc. Though I don't see much going on yet. 29 Oct: Flirt4Free has a Halloween promotion. Promos for customers, and contests for hosts from Thursday – Saturday. Also having themed 1-hour shows with top hosts from 6 p.m. – 1 a.m EST on those days. See girls. See guys. $99 for 1,080 credits on Halloween night itself for VIP members. 25 Oct: With Dress Like a Slut Day just around the corner -- it should be our national day -- the cam sites are getting ready with specials. Peekshows started yesterday with a contest to let viewers vote on the hosts costumes. There are cash prizes for hosts. 14 Oct: Remember that Flirt4free contest to win a ticket to a Playboy Mansion party? Well guess what, liveCamNetwork also have a contest to win a ticket to a Playboy Mansion party -- and both parties are on Nov 21st! What does that mean? I suppose it means there is one big party with lots of tickets, and different sites are basically having competitions to win tickets. 14 Oct: Checked in on LiveAsianGirlCams today and it seems to have been frozen in time since I reviewed it a year ago, basically nothing has changed that I can see -- neither good nor bad. Only of course that counts as good in the current climate while so many sites are closing down. So if you'd like your choice of about 50 Asian chathosts, with prices as low as $0.69/minute, then do take the time to visit LiveAsianGirlCams.

[Visit the forum for more] 12 Oct: imLive, Pornstar show, etc etc. Lisa Lipps is the star this time and will be online Oct 15th, 11:00 pm ET. This is one for those who like huge breasts -- 44DDD-26-31. [Read review] [Visit site] [Read details of show] [Make comment] 3 Oct: The DailyPeep "Top" content is now for the top 50 hosts and top 20 viewers. Prizes for hosts top at $1,000 for the #1, and that is just for two weeks so quite an impressive possibility. Viewer prizes only go up to $500 though and of course it is in credits, not cash unlike the host prize.

Date and time: 3 Oct 08 11pm CST/12am EST. [read review] [visit site] 1 Oct: CamWithHer is offering a 1-hour free chat with Ember Reigns on 2 Oct (Fri) 10pm EST or 7pm PST. I presume it's for members only. [read review] [visit site] 25 Sept: Ever been to the Playboy® Mansion? Here is a chance - from now on till October 26, 08 (11:59pm EST), for every 1200 credits you bought in Flirt4free get you one raffle ticket. Winner will get 2 tickets to the Playboy Mansion on 21 Nov. [visit site][read review] 11 Sept: Time to buy a WAP enabled phone with big screen so that you can do webcam chat sitting in the bathroom and your wife/girlfriend /boyfriend would not find out. Go to wap.camcontacts.com, download their chat software and you can chat anywhere you like. But you've better joined them on a standard pc or laptop to make life easier (if you are not a member yet). [read review] [visit site] 10 Sept: Flash games with currently online chathosts as the images on the Blackjack cards or puzzles? Nice idea by NeonCams. [Play the games] [visit site] [read review] 9 Sept: Not just phone sex sites have to change, more and more cam chat sites have feature shows now. Tonight in Spread4u, see Heather Gates (10pm - 2:20a.m.) and Monica Mayhem (10pm - 11pm) - that's all EST. [See feature shows schedule of Sep 08 here] 8 Sept: It will be quite a big change for phone sex users when they come up to the phone sex site CallToCam and find that they are not just offered phone sex but see the girl live, cam2cam and even control the cyberdildo on her. That's a lot to learn. [visit site] [read review] [make comment] 4 Sep: Pssst. Want to buy a Firecracker Video Chat licence second hand? Hardly used and never driven over 10 models at a time. Then hurry over to www.candidlive.com who have given up the challenge and are selling out! [read the old review] 3 Sep: If you are at all interested in female ejaculation, aka squirting, on webcam then you need to talk to Squirtlady aka joy squirt. She is an independent webcam model and does squirting shows via Yahoo Messenger starting at 10 minutes for $25. [visit site] 3 Sep: Updated the review of CamMatrix, a small but quite nice site for viewers. Interestingly they pay hosts 40% - but only if you will do free chat, if you do not want free chat you get only 25%! Only small, just 11 cams online, but of those 6 in private. [visit site] [read review] [make comment] 2 Sep: More studio and host promotions from . "Studios WIN up to $2750 with 3 Models among the first 5 in the Awards!" Read details about it here. [visit site] [read review] [make comment] 27 Aug: Wrote a review of MyFreeCams. Now a large site with some interesting features, but on the expensive side. [visit site] [read review] [make comment] 26 Aug: I listed LiveClickMeet before but without a real review as they had not really got started. Though they are still pretty small I've taken another look and done a brief review. I'd love to hear your comments on the site if you've tried it from either side. [visit site] [read review] [make comment] 25 Aug: imLivehave a "Hardcore Bondage Star" named Moxxie Maddron doing a show in two days time, Aug 27 at 11PM EST. 20 Aug: A (cam)girl can never have too much lingerie right? Pamperedpassions.com has a sale on: "End of Summer Sale : Save 20% with coupon: sale (valid through Aug. 31st)" while wickedtemptations has 30% off "swimwear" until the end of the week -- and their idea of "swimwear" is much more appropriate to the cam studio than the pool! ;-) 15 Jul: Summer promotions are starting -- at CamContacts there is a "Beach Party" from tomorrow to the 20th. There are puzzles to complete with prizes of up to $2,000 (in credits). You have to attend private chats to get the pieces to do the puzzles though. There are also Beach (mostly Bikini) themed galleries of selected hosts for members only. [visit site] [read review] [make comment] 1 Jul: Brief review of LiveCamania -- good percentages for hosts, but still a small site. [read review] [visit site] [make comment] 13 Jun: If you are familiar with Flirt4free's VIP membership and looking for more of this type, try Asian247. [read details] 12 Jun: "Summer Promotion" for Hosts brought to you by NeedLive which invites you to bring in new viewers for a $20/member bonus plus a shot at a grand prize of $2,000 or one of 9 smaller prizes. It isn't as much as you'd get from introducing someone to iFriends let alone Imlive or cams.com via their webmaster program, but that Grand prize may motivate you to give it a shot if you have lots of regular fans.. [read details] 8 Jun: cambabes is another name of cams.com/cumtv given by xxxcambabes' owner, who also tries to promote cumtv despite they have their own independent cam girl directory to promote. 28 May: If you are a chathost, model or studio boss don't forget to check out the offers in the Professional Spam section of the forum, where camsites will promote their own special deals. For example: Webcam site livecamshow.tv - we pay in euros and 60% Studio Signup Offer [Join before 1st June]. Note that I don't, and can't, validate the bona fides of these offers -- so take normal business precautions. Feedback on these offers is also always appreciated. 21 May: If you have not checked out AsianCamModels in a while then do so now! It is showing some great growth with over 700 cam chatrooms online as I write. I've given the review a bit of a rewrite but the basics are the same, just larger. [read review] [visit site] [comment] 20 May: Updated Wildorchidz review. Not much change except there are more girls online (about 20) including shemale and lesbians. [read review] [visit site] [make a comment]. 18 May: On the topic of "famous" porn stars Penny Flame will now be doing shows at CamHotties (and family; Spread4u, CamClub etc). At least she is an award winner at AVN as opposed to merely a nominee. [visit site] 17 May: Noticed an announcement from Flirt4Free about them finally implementing Cam2Cam so that viewers can send video/audio to the host. The announcement was actually on the Gay Cam side but I presume it applies also to the girls. Does this make up for the lack of big names in their porn shows? Next up 29 May are Casey Parker and Jana Jordan. Who? [visit site] 16 May: Updated 2LipsLive (aka 2lips.tv) review. Hardly changed since I saw it last -- apart from that name change. [read review] [visit site] [make a comment] 15 May: Updated 18Live review - no big changes, a bit more hosts online, a change in payment processor - same software, same system. [read review] [visit site] [make a comment] 14 May: Long overdue review of TheDailyPeep is up. [read review] [visit site] [make a comment] 8 May: Unusual special here from LovelyCamGirlsLive (A name so unwieldy that even they don't use it but call themselves :LCGL) -- members get $1 added to their account each day if they just log in. Catch is this is only if you have bought credit at least once. Catch #2 is that I have yet to see a host online there... 5 May: Flirt4free is no longer the only cam site that has porn stars on board. Just got an email from Spread4u that they have the AVN starlet of 2008 Bree Olson on regular cam chat weekly, just like any cam girls you can go into private with her. Meanwhile, there is not even any scheduled porn star show on Flirt4free. 28 Apr: This is a funny one - jobs at webcam sites being offered at UK JobCentres. For those of you not in the UK the "JobCentre" is a Government run employment agency that helps the unemployed find work. More from the BBC. 17 Apr: Update to NeedLive review. [visit site] [read review] [make comment] 16 Apr: Had a look around NeonCams and did a brief review of the site. Would be very interested to hear any feedback, thanks. [visit site] [read review] [make comment] 3 Apr: ItchLive.com is offering a special promotion to viewers with an 10% extra credits on all e/wallet upgrades from 3rd of April till 21st of April. This goes with the launch of a normal html website to supplement the fancy flash thing they started with. 25 Mar: Check out the site of one of our newest forum contributor, Bella, who is a Brazilian independent chathost though it seems she has also worked iFriends, who describes herself as an MILF. There is a nice little gallery as well as details on booking a one to one show with her. [visit site] 20 Mar: Today though Easter Monday CamContacts is running a set of promotions. Bunny Girl galleries, Voting for top Bunny themed chathosts and "free session" giveaways for viewers. 19 Mar: Flirt4Free add a TS site to their existing straight and gay cam sites. Named GenderBenders.com it offers the same user interface, but a currently very small selection of hosts -- actually 1 host at this moment. Sure they list others, but couples and girls, only one seems to be a real boy/girl. Now that they have launched I expect they will build up more hosts though. It is a limited niche though, the more established GenderBenderCams.com run by Spread4u only manages to have 3 online at the moment. And only one of those in free chat, I suspect there is enough demands for the limited supply that they don't have to do a lot of teasing. 16 Mar: imLive announce a reduction in payout for hosts down to 30%, though 35% is maintained for top hosts and veterans. See details. They basically suggest a smaller cut of a larger cake - with potential for a better bottom line. Via Minnie. 12 Mar: St Patrick's Day this weekend and a few specials will be on I'm sure. First up at DreamHouseLive there is a lucky draw for prizes, $500 for hosts and 500minutes for viewers. [ read details] [visit site] 9 Mar: CupidoCam, the small gay webcam site, has now opened a girl section at CupidoGirls.com. Obviously they are currently looking for more cam girls. 8 Mar: I'm live continue their "get your money back" promotion in March under a Easter themed banner of "Your Easter Cash Hops Back to You". As before the rules are than daily 10 names are drawn and those viewers get their credits refunded. 3 Mar: Not adult related as such but Orgoo.com has started a free web based video chat room. Why is this of interest? Because it allows one or more people to get into a video chat room without loading any software. So this side-steps the issue that independent camgirls may have of asking customers to install Yahoo or other Messenger software, and all the technical hassles that can involve. Of course there is no payment structure but then independents typically have their own way of handling this, a password protection for rooms would provide basic control that only the right people get into the room. 2 Mar: NeonCams is a new site launching this month, currently looking for hosts and studios. Payment methods includes epassporte but whatever the method the cut is only 35%. Hosts go here. Studios go here. Viewers need to wait until it is launched. 1 Mar: Looking for a flat share / roommate in Bucharest? Read this post. Hm, maybe I should start a new section of the site for chathost flat shares?!
27 Feb: It's a leap year! Three more days therefore in Feb for the Feb imLive promotion. Be one of the 10 names drawn each day and get credits you spent that day refunded. 26 Feb: Streamate announced a "Confidential Phone" service. Basically it means they will connect the viewer and the host via telephoning both parties, so neither side knows the phone number of the other side. This is an oft-requested feature for hosts who would like to provide phone but have privacy concerns about giving out their number. It is optional for hosts and not shown to views unless their host has selected this option Via Minni. [visit the site] [read review] [make a comment] 25 Feb: Look for your ropes and cuffs and join in imLive's Tie Me Up Party from 1 Mar (Fri) 3pm to Monday 3a.m. The only problem is: if the girls are tied up, how can they type and chat? Just noticed that iamLive has added a 1-on-1 director feature in their Happy Hour chat. [read more] 19 Feb: The well established hardcore German cam site Visit-x.net (which is the backend of many small European sites) has a new community chat based side with the rather clumsy name of 2cam4u. It's rather like camfrog, cameraware or in the past ivisit or even netmeeting if your memory goes back that far! 18 Feb: Free pornstar show 21st Feb 7pm (EST) for one hour starting Gina Lynn -- free for members of the newest members of VipCams or $0.50 / per minute at, PrivateFeeds and LoveSexxxy. 17 Feb: Now that Penthouse owns Cams.com you'll expect to see a lot of cross promotions. The first is tube.penthouse.com which is their take on the YouTube thing. I believe it is what they call a "FakeTube" site - e.g. it isn't really user-submitted videos, rather they are all promotionals clips , though some of the "Most Viewed Clips" seem to be from Cams.com/CumTV chathosts. 16 Feb: Belated Valentine's day party news - imlive is holding a Valentine's day party till Monday 3a.m. Top 10 spenders will get $200 imlive credits. Or more practically, if you buy credits during the party, you will be entered into a raffle and 50 members will win $50 credits. [visit site] 15 Feb: Did you notice Spread4u is now using Flash video? The chat window looks exactly the same as before so they must have custom written it to match their old one. It works for me a lot better than the old one. [read review] [visit site] [make a comment] 13 Feb: Valentine's days promotions coming up! www.lovelycamgirlslive.com, $20 bonus on any purchase all day long. Let me know of any others you know of! 7 Feb: Happy Lunar New Year! In celebration Peekshows are holding a number of contests and giveaways for both viewers and models. Free tokens to members who win in the contest, and extra pay for models who are voted best in various categories. There is also going to be a discount on Valentine's day. Yes -- actually this promotion is a V Day one, not Lunar New Year, but close enough. ;-) [visit site] 1 Feb: Two competing special shows today. Over at PrivateFeeds there will be a show by award winning porn actress Jenna Haze while over at LiveCamNetwork you can catch Shay Laren, Penthouse Pet of the Month for June 2006. Jenna will be online from 6:30PM to 8:00PM EST while Shay will just be starting out at 8:00 PM EST, no word on how long her show will be And no, I had never heard of either of them before -- but they are in Wikipedia so they must be famous, right? [visit PrivateFeeds] [visit LiveCamNetwork] 30 Jan: I was just over at Spread4u and see they seem to have a new studio working there which is quite unusual. It's out of the Philippines, but unlike most such studios where the setting looks -- if you'll excuse me -- distinctly Third-World with plastic stools to sit on, bed sheets hung up as backdrops and a waving fan because there is no aircon -- this one by comparison looks like a 5 star hotel. Or possibly a very expensive bordello. And the hosts are to match. e.g. more the fashion model look than the farm-girl one. There were only a few of them online when I looked, two I noted were "Tixie Lee", and "Luciya", but take a look and if you see them and see if you agree that they stand out! An interesting development, I wonder if they'll stay around. [read review] [visit site] [make a comment] 23 Jan: MyBabeCams has started to develop some traction and now has a respectable 60+ hosts online, not a lot of viewers though with many rooms empty or just a single guest. A good time therefore perhaps to take a look before it gets too crowded given that the pricing is pretty low at $1-$2/minute. Note they have almost entirely Filipina hosts. [Visit site] [Read updated review] [Models go here] [Comments] 20 Jan: A common complaint for people wanting to model on webcam sites is that there is a great lack of information given about terms and conditions, even the payout percentage offered hosts is often not mentioned! VideoSecrets, who own Flirt4Free etc, have recently put together a good information package for those thinking of signing up there. Not only are there specific details about pay and bonuses, but there are also phone numbers of people to call if you have questions. Good work! [Viewers go here] [Chathosts go here] 14 Jan: Promotion at AsianCamModels called "Mid Week madness". It is not exactly well explained but if you buy credits mid week (12.01am Tue - 11.59pm Thu PST) you get a 10% bonus. I guess that must be their quiet time. [read review] [visit site] [comment] 11 Jan: Not sure how long this will last but for what it's worth: "USE THIS PROMO CODE WLP 0108 to get $5.00 FREE with your first purchase of time." at Desire2Cam. They are still going despite some concerns about payments 6 months ago so I hope/presume it is sorted out though I have no first hand info. [read review] [view site] [comment]
9 Jan: I believe I'm more than a year late in noticing this but LiveSexyDolls is now a stand alone cam site, no longer part of the 2much/ LiveCamNetwork system. It is still super small, but still potentially you could find something different there. From the perspective of the host though they don't explain payments, such a common problem! [read updated review] [visit site] [comment] 8 Jan: A new entrant into the webcam site software arena; http://www.livecamdiva.com at the moment looks most suitable for a single girl site. Not cheap though, these things never are. 7 Jan: I hadn't realized before but apparently at cams.com/cumtv etc hosts can select their own payment % -- from 15% to 45%. Why would someone elect be paid less? Well because then they get placed higher in the listings, and presumably get more business. So less time sitting waiting for customers and more time working could equal higher total pay despite the lower %. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
