Frequently Asked Questions
How to make money with BongaModels
You can earn money in both free and private chats. Use our tips to increase your earnings on BongaModels.
- Use "Topic" or "Tip Menu Bot" to notify the members about the price of your services. For example, a show in your free chat costs 500 Tokens, and a dance costs 100. This will save you from unnecessary questions and help you at work.
- Smile and try to stream in a good mood. If a member sees a bored or annoyed model on the screen, they will move to another, more positive chat.
- Before leaving, inform the members about your next stream using the "Notification" function. We also recommend that you indicate your stream schedule in your profile so that the members always know when you go online.
- Turn on the microphone – this will save you from having to text a lot in the chat. In addition, voice is more attractive than typed text. Talk to the members, and you’ll see your tips grow.
- When chatting with the members, call them by their nicknames or names – a personal approach always attracts people.
- It is important not to give all your attention to only one member. Try to immediately identify those who can pay for a private chat or give tips, and communicate mainly with them.
- If a member sends you Tokens or invites you to a private chat, we recommend you add him to your followers list.
- Vibrant colors look great on the screen – we recommend wearing bright makeup, more expressive than your daily makeup.
- Members visit webcam sites to have fun. Perform small shows, tease, and choose sexy outfits – tips will flow like a river!
- Keep toys and other accessories close at hand. Don’t turn off the camera, let alone show the empty bed, while looking for the necessary accessories.
- If you are asked if you are in a relationship or married, the best answer would be: "No, I’m single". This will increase interest in you and attract more attention from members.
- Tips. Apart from the private chat, one of the most effective ways to make money is through tips. Top models make up to 80-90% of their earnings on them. There is a stereotype that performing shows in the free chat is a waste of time, but this is not true. Imagine telling the members you’ll show your breasts for $100. For one person, it is likely too expensive. But if 10 members donate $10, they will not spend too much individually, and you will earn a good amount in just a minute! You can make good money from tips without waiting for a private show by teasing!
- Do not be discouraged if your income is low during the first weeks. The maximum earnings are brought by loyal members who will soon begin regularly watching your streams.
- Work on camera to have fun, make new friends, and have a good time. Don’t work just setting yourself the goal of earning a lot – the money will find you!
Free chat
If you are going to make money by streaming in a free chat, the best strategy is to attract as many members as possible. The chat is free, so you will only earn if the members tip you. The tip amount usually depends on the model’s show; even a little teasing and flirting will help you earn more Tokens. Besides the free chat, you can earn in private and group chats.
Private chat
A member with Tokens can invite a model to a private chat by clicking on the "Private Chat" button in the chat room. The model decides whether to accept or decline the invitation. If the model accepts the invitation, the private show begins.
The model sets the price of a private chat in the console settings before the stream starts. The default price is 60 Tokens per minute. For example, if a member spends 10 minutes in a private chat, the model earns 600 Tokens (10 minutes × 60 Tokens).
A private chat ends automatically if the member runs out of Tokens. The model or the member can also end the chat at any time. The model can disable the private chat invitation option. To do this, in the streaming console in the "Chat settings" section, click on the switch next to the "Allow private chats" field.
Full-private chat
A member can also choose to have a full-private chat, which differs from the regular private chat in that other members can’t spy on them in Voyeur/Spy mode. Being in a full-private chat, the member can be sure they enjoy the show alone.
The price of a full-private chat is set independently by the model in the streaming console – in the chat settings section. The default price is 90 Tokens per minute. For example, if a member spends 10 minutes in a full-private chat, the model earns 900 Tokens (10 minutes × 90 Tokens).
A full-private chat will automatically end if the member runs out of Tokens or if the model or the member decides to end the chat (this can be done at any time). The model can disable the full-private chat invitation option. To do this, in the streaming console in the "Chat settings" section, click on the switch next to the "Allow full-private chats" field.
Spy mode
The members can spy on the private chat, but the spy mode doesn’t allow them to chat with the model. The default price for spy mode is 15 Tokens per minute, while the model can set their own price in the console settings.
Group chat
To start a group chat, the member must click the "Group Chat" button in the model’s chat room. The group chat will begin once there are enough members. The model can change the desired number of group chat participants in the console settings.
The model can also start a group chat, even if only one member is in it. To do this, click "Start group chat". An unlimited number of members can join later.
The model sets the group chat price in the console settings before starting the stream. The default price is 30 Tokens per minute.
The group chat will end once the last member leaves or runs out of Tokens. In addition, the model can end the group chat herself. The model can disable the group chat invitation option in the streaming console in the "Chat settings" section by clicking on the switch next to the "Allow group chats" field.
Tips
The members can tip you to thank you for the show, to express their wishes, or to get your attention.
Usually, if a member sends a tip that doesn’t match the price of any of your services and doesn’t ask for anything in return, they just want to please you. In response to a tip, we advise you to express your gratitude by using the “Tip Response” chatbot.
However, if you have agreed on something with the member in advance, or they have paid for the service from your menu, then you must do this.

How to become a successful model
Introduction
Chatting with members can be very diverse, but the most exciting format is audio and video. Verbal communication is essential for all members. Personal contact makes your time with them more valuable and natural.
Image quality
When in front of a camera, show your involvement in communication.
For example, when you look away from the camera, you seem uninterested in what is happening, which makes an unpleasant impression on the members.
Stay positive and energetic during the stream. The tip size, the number of private chats, and their duration almost entirely depend on your enthusiasm and how actively you communicate with the members of your chat. Most importantly, don’t forget to smile!
To attract more members, it is better to use a high-resolution camera and choose the right angle and lighting. The members are much more likely to enjoy streams with a clear image, and according to the statistics, they are more likely to leave tips in such chat rooms.
If you plan to purchase high-quality equipment, your investments will pay off very soon!
NB! We highly recommend streaming through the OBS app to improve video and audio quality. Learn more about OBS.
Outfits
The members pay close attention to outfits. Successful models carefully create their looks to make a strong impression. You can also ask members what they would like to see you wear.
Women’s outfits
Try to look classy and choose the outfits that make you feel sexy. Remember that the ideal outfit emphasizes the highlights of your body, hides flaws, and inspires self-confidence.
Only you decide which look suits you best. Choose the clothes and accessories that you like. The site has a massive number of members, and there are surely those who will appreciate your creativity and individuality.
Men’s outfits
Men, like women, should show their individuality and be creative in choosing an outfit. Strive to create something unique for your chat members.
Makeup
As a rule, the face looks less expressive on the screen than in real life, so we recommend using darker and brighter shades for makeup when streaming.
Properly selected cosmetics will successfully emphasize all the advantages of your appearance. You can significantly change your look depending on your wishes – make your eyes more expressive and your lips brighter. As a result, you will become more self-confident. Get creative – use all available means to create your desired look.
Manicures and pedicures
Remember that you can’t hide anything from the camera, so you must take care of your look. Even the nails should look good, although they are much less noticeable than the face. Nail care is a natural part of your daily grooming routine and will keep you looking great while streaming. Manicures and pedicures can be quite simple and inexpensive.
Pose and posture
A beautiful pose (as well as the ability to maintain and change it) is essential and makes a model more attractive to members. Body language can express many emotions. Status and self-confidence are transmitted in how you move and use the space around you. Take it into account when setting up equipment and creating your streaming environment.
Also, remember that your ability to stay in front of the camera significantly affects what emotions and impressions the audience has from your show.
Hair
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of beautiful hair. Creating an attractive and interesting hairstyle is integral to preparing for streams.
Women’s hairstyles
Make sure your hairstyle emphasizes your fashion style and other appearance features.
Style your hair the way you prefer. Be seductive while being sincere. The simpler your style, the more likely members will perceive you as a real person. Always stay true to yourself and showcase your beauty to the fullest.
Don’t be afraid to use accessories to make your look more interesting. Get creative!
Men’s hairstyles
Men are also encouraged to take care of their hair. Make sure that your hair is always clean and well-groomed.
Background
There are many tips on how to use interior design for streaming best. It’s very simple; the main thing is to create a suitable environment. The members will immediately notice if it doesn’t suit your style or show. You shouldn’t use numerous small elements to create an entourage – they clutter up the space.
Use different decorations to make the interior design more attractive. When choosing a decoration color, consider your skin tone, hair, eyes, clothes, etc. The better you arrange the space, the more welcoming your chat room will look to members.
Camera angle
It is worth changing the camera angle from time to time. For example, try placing the camera higher or lower instead of shooting everything at eye level in a horizontal orientation. Sit down with the camera above your head, change the background, move to a different location, etc.
For your convenience, you can use the camera with a remote control to change the angle at any time and adjust the image brightness from a distance. The remote also lets you quickly turn off the camera, even if it is not at hand.
Camera lens
The success of your streaming depends not only on the equipment quality. You also need to ensure optimal working conditions. Be sure to keep the camera lens clean and safe.
Lighting
A good image will make your stream stand out from other models. The results will be much better if you pay more attention to proper lighting.
Before you start streaming, set up your camera in different places and find the location with the best lighting. Do not constantly shoot only from the front or side. Experiment and look for new angles.
If you go online via a web camera, avoid extra bright lighting, which can make the image blurry and fuzzy. At the same time, use additional light sources so that less shadow falls on you during shooting.
Examples of optimal lighting
Proper lighting is an essential factor in ensuring streaming success. The best way to avoid issues is to get ready in advance. Try experimenting with indoor lighting in different conditions and positions. The more effort you put in, the better your streams will be.
Let’s take a look at the following examples:
Notice the key differences in color and brightness.
To ensure good lighting, you need to use the most suitable lamps.
Only by creating the optimal lighting for shooting can you achieve high-quality streaming and guarantee the best experience for your chat members. For the sake of members, you should constantly evolve as a model and acquire new valuable skills.

You can reactivate the sex questionnaire at any time by turning the switch ON.
Why do I have no paid questions from members yet?

How do I stream on my phone?
To stream on your phone, please download our mobile app in the “Apps & Features” section, available for iOS and Android devices.
Can I work without showing my face?
Yes, our models can stream without showing their faces or while wearing a mask. At the same time, the site administration reserves the right to conduct online verification.
Why are identity verification documents rejected?
Identity verification may not occur if the uploaded document (passport, driver’s license, or ID card) does not meet the site’s requirements.
Possible reasons:
- The photo is blurry. All information on the document must be clearly visible.
- The identity card is not fully visible. The whole identity document must be visible in the photo. In some cases, a picture of the reverse side of the document may also be required.
- Data discrepancy. The data specified in the profile must fully match the data on the document.
What is CamScore?
CamScore is the model’s rating calculated in points. It is divided into 4 regional indicators:
- North America
- Western Europe
- CIS countries
- Other countries
The rating determines your chat room’s ranking on the site’s main page in the corresponding region. A high CamScore rating ensures a higher place in the overall model list; a low CamScore, on the contrary, makes you less visible to BongaCams members.
Why do you need a CamScore?
CamScore eliminates undeservedly advantages for models when they are displayed on the site. For example, arranging models in alphabetical order would be unfair to those whose nicknames begin with the letters z, y, x, etc.
Thanks to the CamScore rating, the model’s position in the overall list will entirely depend on her activity on the BongaCams site. The most successful models will always be placed at the top.
How are CamScores calculated?
The model rating depends on multiple factors, yet the main ones are earnings on the site and the time spent online. The more you work and earn, the higher your ranking is.
To earn a high CamScore, you must also have high-quality Internet. A model with a poor Internet connection will never rank highly, no matter how much she earns or how much time she spends online.
How often are CamScores updated?
CamScore points are automatically updated once every 10 minutes.
How can I raise my rating?
Here are some ways to improve your CamScore:
- Earn more Tokens. The best way to increase your rating is to earn as many Tokens as possible (tips, private chats, group chats, full-private chats, spy mode, gifts, etc.).
- Spend as much time as possible in the chat. You will earn points just for going online every day! If you don’t enter the chat for more than 2 days, your rating may noticeably decrease. Remember that the chat room is displayed in the overall list only when the model is online, meaning that at certain times, you can take the first position in the model list simply because your competitors are not online at that moment.
- Please ensure that your Internet connection speed and quality are suitable for streaming. Models with a poor Internet connection will never take the first line in the overall model list, no matter how many Tokens they earn or how much time they spend in their chat.
- Promote BongaCams. The models can significantly increase their rating by bringing new members and models to the site. You will receive points for each referred member who purchased Tokens on BongaCams and for each referred model.
Rating new models
All new models on our site receive a certain number of CamScore points in line with the average rating of the models on our site. The initial number of points depends on various indicators, including the quality of your Internet connection. A model can always increase her CamScore by earning more Tokens or lose points due to her low activity on the site. One way or another, your ranking will not be determined by how many CamScore points you received when you signed up but by how successful you are as a model.
Average CamScore on the site
- North America: 1,400
- Western Europe: 1,528
- CIS countries: 1,560
- Other countries: 1,320

Why can’t I attach a link in the legal aid request form?
Possible reasons you cannot add a link:
- You are adding too many links at once. It is allowed to add no more than ten links at the same time.

- The link you are adding has already been sent to our lawyers for review.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with the BongaModels support team.
How long does it take to remove a video from a third-party source?
On average, the work of lawyers takes from 2 days to 4 weeks (depending on the specifics of the third-party source where the video is hosted). However, it’s not limited to these time frames.
Why hasn’t a video been removed from a third-party source yet?
The most common reason is that the third-party source ignores requests to remove videos. In such situations, the lawyer will use other methods to remove the content, which may take longer. If the link you provided was not rejected, removing your video is still a work in progress.
Why was the link sent to lawyers rejected?
Most likely, the link does not meet the following requirements:
- The link provided must lead to a specific video or photo. It will be rejected if the link leads to search engine results, a redirect, or the home page of a third-party source.
- The photo or video must contain the logo of our site and/or the DMCA security mark. In their absence, it is almost impossible to remove the content, so the link may be rejected. The link may also be rejected if the video or photo contains only the DMCA security mark, but the lawyer has determined that the content belongs to another copyright holder (it is indicated that this is a professional or amateur shooting, the content is recorded on another source, there are elements of a third-party site, etc.)

First of all, please check if your webcam is connected and installed correctly. If you are unable to solve the video issue yourself, please contact our support for assistance at: [email protected].
I can see my video, but the sound is not working. Why?
To stream audio, you need a microphone (integrated or separate). Most modern web cameras and laptops have integrated microphones.

If everything is installed correctly, but the sound is still not working, please contact support for help at: [email protected].
What should I do if my stream is slow?
If your video is streaming slowly, do the following:

Which is better for broadcasting – WebRTC or an external video encoder?

For Chrome: go to browser settings > “Privacy and security” > “Clear browsing data”. In the opened window, select the time range “All time”, check the boxes “Cookies and other site data” and “Cached images and files”, and click “Clear data”.
For Mozilla: go to browser settings > “Privacy & Security” > “Cookies and Site Data” > “Clear Data”. - The server has to be changed.To do so, log out of the model account, clear your browser data (as described above), wait 5 – 10 minutes, and try relaunching the stream.
If none of the above has helped, please contact the BongaModels support team.
