Post Cam4bucks Move Adjustments

Over the last couple of weeks, there have been some major changes on CAM4, most notably bringing over everything relating to earnings and payouts to CAM4 from Cam4bucks.

The move was not bug-free, but the vast majority of the cases are now resolved and we’re still working hard with the performers who have remaining issues in order to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

This included payment processing issues, incorrectly reported earnings, as well as issues with getting verified.

In a particular case, some tokens were incorrectly added to available earnings during the transition. While this was quickly noticed, some took advantage before we could intervene.

Upon finding the error those tokens were removed but as a portion of these tokens had already been used to tip, gift, or otherwise transferred, they also had to be removed from the accounts they had been transferred to.

For transparency purposes, we are marking these your Performer Dashboard under Insights > Adjustments.

We apologize for the inconvenience

Are funds loaded to my external card automatically from my Paxum account?

All I see is a white screen?

If you do not see the webcam picture but instead all you see is a white screen, please try the following: Sometimes other devices on your computer (other cameras, video cards, software) will show up as a camera source to Flash, and you need to specify which one is your active webcam.

Right-click your mouse on the white screen (where your webcam picture should appear) and click on “Settings”.
Click on the “webcam” icon to bring up that tab and makes sure that your webcam is selected as the proper camera source.
Please make sure no other software like Yahoo, MSN, or other messenger/video applications are open, sometimes they can lock the camera so other programs (like Flash) can not access the webcam.
Please make sure you have the latest version of Flash player installed, re-install if necessary.
Please make sure that your webcam is properly installed. This means that in addition to physically connecting your webcam to your computer you must also install the proper drivers to make it work. Usually these drivers came on the CD with your webcam, but otherwise you can Google your webcam type and download drivers for free online.

PLEASE NOTE: While there is “no fee” from us to send the payment, your bank may charge a fee. This is not something we have any control over so please check with your bank.

Direct deposit payments are processed WEEKLY on FRIDAYS with a minimum payment request of $100.

Payments must be requested by TUESDAY 11:59pm EST to be included for payment on FRIDAY.

Payment will show on your bank statement as: TLE OPPORTUNITIE DIR DEP

Performer Rules

We love performers and the experiences they create. As part of our commitment to helping performers create memorable, unique experiences, CAM4 is proud to feature fewer limits than other cam sites. Performers are free to create the content they wish to create, with respect to the following few guidelines.

Please note that CAM4 is the sole arbiter of what meets these guidelines, and any actions will be made at their discretion.

General

Children
  • Children or minors cannot appear on cam. Even in non-nude, non-suggestive instances – a minor cannot pass the age verification and is not approved for broadcasting.
  • Child pornography (CP) in any form is an immediate ban and additional legal action.

CAM4 does not discriminate against performers who have children. Performers with children are not barred from broadcasting on CAM4 or being promoted on CAM4 social media.

Animals

Animals can appear on cam if they are not involved in any sexual capacity.

Bestiality is an immediate ban. A nude performer cannot interact with an animal in any way.

Violence

Rape, forced sex and other violence, simulated or otherwise, is not allowed on cam. Cutting is not allowed on cam.

Incest

Family members are not permitted to appear on the same cam. Incest, actual or simulated, is not permitted on cam.

Substances
  • In general, alcohol and tobacco are allowed on cam, but illegal drugs are not.
  • If a person on cam is visibly intoxicated, or passed out, the show will be closed immediately, a warning will be issued to the broadcaster and repeat offenders will be banned.
Body Functions
  • Urine is allowed on cam. However, being urinated on, or urinating on someone else, is not permitted.
  • Scat (poo) is not permitted on cam.
  • Vomit or vomiting are not permitted on cam.
    • Hate and Race

    Racial slurs are not allowed.

    Hate speech of any nature is not allowed.

    CAM4 will be the sole arbiter of what is hate speech, including racial slurs or prejudicial commentary based on race. Be nice.

    Solicitation
    • Advertising escort services is not allowed on CAM4. Advertising other sites is not allowed.
    • Advertising personal sites is allowed, as long as that site does not feature cam shows for outside payment.
    • Advertising services for alternate payment methods is not allowed.
    Pre-recorded Shows

    Prerecorded videos are not permitted. All broadcasts must be live.

    Show Types

    Outdoor Shows
    • Performers are encouraged to broadcast outdoors. Outdoor shows follow the same content guidelines and rules as regular broadcasts.
    • Like regular broadcasts, children or minors are not permitted on cam at any time.
    • Broadcasting from public locations is permitted, but strangers or anyone who is unaware they are on CAM4 may not be shown on cam.
    • Broadcasting from a car is permitted, but for safety reasons, the car must be parked. Buildings, traffic or advertisements are permitted in the background of broadcasts.
    • To avoid claims of invasion of privacy, CAM4 recommends that performers don’t broadcast from a height of more than 5’5” above ground.
    • Broadcasting from playgrounds, schools, graveyards or churches is not permitted.
    Streaming Content (Games)

    Performers are encouraged to stream video games or similar content, similar to Twitch.

    Performers may stream content such as video games as long as they appear on cam as well. Performers may:

    • Appear along with the screen in view of the webcam.
    • Appear in picture-in-picture while streaming the game to CAM4 using an External Encoder.
    Fraud
    • Promises made in return for tips should be followed through.
    • When doing a private show do not delay starting the show or request more than the agreed price, this will just lead to refund requests from unhappy viewers
    • Performers who deliberately “scam” members will be banned from the website
    • Any attempt at fraud will result in a permanent ban, without payment.
    • Obtaining other members login information or logging into other accounts is not permitted. This will result in a permanent ban. Please do not share your own login information with anyone else.

    Please report any suspicious activity on account to fraud@cam4.com

    *Cam4 reserves the right to decide whether Content, chat or any User-Generated Content complies with these Terms and it will be the Site Administrator’s decision whether to remove content or terminate an account, in his or her irrefutable and sole discretion.

    Getting Started

    Getting started with Cam4 is quick, free and easy! Click the “Create Free Account” button in the upper right of the Cam4.com home page and use the steps below to create your performer account.

    Step 1.

    Create an account that fits you and your personality. Make sure that you use an email address that contains no personal information.

    HINT: Create a new email account with Gmail, Yahoo, etc. using your user name. This will keep your Cam4 account separate from your personal email. Make sure that your password is unique to Cam4.

    Step 2.

    Once you have created your account we’ll send a verification link to the email address you used to create the account. All you have to do to verify the account is click the link in the email. This will return you to Cam4 where you will receive a congratulations message on successfully creating your account.

    Step 3.

    Set up your profile! Your profile is where your fans can find out the latest about you. Add a profile picture, then share the right details with the right people. Start by clicking the cogwheel in the upper right of your screen and choose “MY ACCOUNT” in the drop down. From here you can block countries/states/provinces, set your profile image, etc. Keep in mind that anything you share on your profile is visible to all members, logged in or not, and will also be picked up by the search engines.

    Step 4.

    Once you are happy with your profile you are set to broadcast! There are no schedules or minimum hours required. You decide when you go on cam and what you do in front of your cam. Please make sure to read the rules on your chat window as these are important.

    Each token you receive is worth .10 (100 tokens = $10.00). Once you have received some tokens, you can click on the Cam4bucks link in the orange bar; this is where you will upload your documents to be approved to cash out the tips received. The minimum payout is $50.00.
