QUESTION: How to buy Tokens or Credits at Streamate.com ?

Answer: You can’t, Streamate is a pay-as-you-go site.

Streamate is a “premium” cam site rather than the more common “freemium”.

As such you can’t do a lot at the site without paying. Although there is free video chat rooms you can view at any time you don’t get to interact very much without being a member.

There is no tipping, no chatting, and most of the features don’t work until you sign up.

Signing up at Streamate for the first time is confusing for people used to the token or credit based sites where you make a free account, then add credits later.

Instead at streamate you have to provide your payment information up front, but no charges are made against your account, and hence against your Credit card or PayPal, until you do something that costs money.

Sending a “gift”, which is the Streamate equivalent of tipping, or taking a model private all cost money. The privates can cost any thing from $0.99 a minute to $10 or more depending on the model.

Whatever it is you do that costs money, once you have completed that thing then charge is made against your payment method.

Therefore if you never do anything at the site except watch the free chat rooms, waiting for the occasional flash that isn’t really allowed, then you will end up paying nothing.

But should you hit that Gift or Private button, or decide to bid some Gold towards a group show, then a bill will appear on your card or PayPal account.

The only other major cam site that uses things type of pay-as-you-go approach to charging is Camcontacts, who invited it a long time ago as they were one of the very first cam sites. On the plus side it means no need to deposit money into their system in advance, you keep your cash in your own wallet until you really want to spend it.

On the down side it means it is possible to get carried away and spend more than you intended, but then that is a problem with any cam site so if you have trouble with your budget control you probably shouldn’t be there anyway.
