How to Stay Safe at Cam Girl Sites

Watching cam girls is a great hobby that everybody should try, but as with any online activity, there are some safety best practices that you should follow to protect yourself.

Privacy For Viewers

• Don’t give out your personal details to the cam girls directly; they do not want you to become their real-life boyfriends.
• Don’t turn on your webcam, and cover it up if you are worried that it might be turned on by accident. Camgirls can’t see you, but you can still be extra cautious.
• Before doing Cam2Cam make sure there is nothing in view of the camera that would give away your real identity, for example, letters or documents with your name and address.
• Be aware that cam girls can see some details about you. It varies between sites but for example at Bongacams they can see these details.

Paying Safely

Pay for tokens using one of the many safe payment systems that protect your identity from lesser to a greater extent.

• Credit / Debit card – offer the least protection for privacy, but does allow you to cancel payments if you end up being charged for something you didn’t intend to pay for. Be aware that doing so may get you banned from that cam site though as it may be seen as fraud.
• PayPal gives one level of protection when you use PayPal to buy cam site tokens.
• PaySafeCard is designed specifically for the safety of online payments, but only a few cam girl sites accept PaySafeCard.
• Cryptocurrencies promise anonymity, yet it takes quite some care to ensure you don’t accidentally give your details away, and the most secure ways to use it mean operating your own crypto wallet. Many cam sites take Bitcoin and other crypto payments.

Privacy for Cam Girls

• Always use a stage name or nickname that is significantly different from your real name
• Use the geo-blocking options available on most cam sites to prevent people living near you from seeing you online, but beware that they are not perfect.
• Disable “appear on network sites” options at Chaturbate and similar sites so that you appear only on that website you signed up for, not others that may have less strict privacy controls.
• Don’t show your face if you don’t want to. Although face-cams are most popular there are plenty of cam girls who focus on body parts and still have plenty of fans.
• Get paid via a reputable or anonymous payment method. Cryptocurrency is most anonymous but most difficult to set up and has its own risks.
