Cast Your Vote for a Model at These 4 Cam Sites
Most of the leading cam sites have hundreds, if not thousands of cam performers streaming live at any one time. With such a large selection of gorgeous models, friendly faces and beautiful bodies, standing out from the crowd isn't an easy job. Most of us look at the first one or two pages of results and make a decision on who to visit from the top options.
For a live video chat model, the higher they appear in the search results can make the difference between a cam career or a cam shutdown. If you have a favorite host at the following cam sites, you can give them a thumbs-up and help them power up the rankings to a rarified position as a front page performer. Find out how to cast a vote for a cam girl and how to find the performers with the most votes from satisfied viewers.
CamSoda.com
This freemium cam platform features over 3,000 cam hosts streaming 24/7, all of whom are looking for your help in pushing them up the poles onto the first couple of pages in the site. Hosts range from first-time amateurs who are new to camming to celebrity adult actresses who already have a large following and use CamSoda as a place where fans can get to know them in a 1on1 show that can be recorded at no extra cost.
Like all the sites listed here, it doesn't cost anything to give a model a thumbs up or a vote, but that doesn't mean anyone can enter and manipulate the rankings. At CamSoda, you can only upvote (or downvote) a performer if you've tipped them 25 tokens within a 24 hour period. This way you know that people are voting based on an experience they've actually paid for. Once you're eligible to cast a vote you just click on the thumbs up (or down) icon that appears above the live video feed in the girl's chat room.
Shows at CamSoda come with a bunch of extras both in free and paid-for modes. If the model agrees, you can turn on your webcam in her free tip-fueled show. While this doesn't come at a cost, most performers will request an up-front tip in order to allow this. If the room has a lot of viewers, don't expect much attention unless you continue to tip big. If you do want her to look at your feed, the best way to get her focus is to invite her into a private show.
On average, these come in at around $3.00/min which may seem expensive, but at CamSoda, you get an extra bang for your buck. Most rooms let you record the cam session at no extra cost and keep a copy of it for free viewing in your CamSoda account.
If you want to vote for a few models, you'll need tip each one 25 tokens. One token is worth around $0.12 cents (depending on the token package you purchase). So, in reality, while voting is free, you'll be have to lay out $3.00 on tips prior to each vote. One way to get some free tokens to spend on your favorite babe is to upgrade your membership to that of a Premium member for 19.95/month, The first month as a Premium member you'll get 200 free tokens, as well as other benefits. You can always cancel the membership after a month. Considering 200 tokens by themselves costs most — it's worth subscribing for a month no matter what you plan to do with the tokens.
Flirt4Free.com
Flirt4Free is the only premium cam site which lets you give the performers a boost and help them rise up to appear in the first rows of search results. All the performers at this site are semi-pro or professional cam models so competition between them is fierce. In fact, it's so competitive that some even offer time-limited free shows where they'll strip off and perform niche acts if the audience is tipping. Something not many premium cam sites allow.
At Flirt4Free you can show the model you think she's a star by giving her a Power Boost. Under her live video feed is a bar featuring a range of icons including a small rocket. If the rocket doesn't appear, you'll need to click on the 3 vertical dots at the right of the bar in order for it to come up. Clicking on the rocket is a way to boost her popularity. However, while this doesn't cost money, it's only available to active Flirt4Free registered members. You can choose how powerful a boost you want to give her. 250 points are needed for a +25 boost and this goes up to the maximum boost of +500 for a whopping 5,000 points.
You can't buy points though you have to earn them by participating on the site in activities such as adding a payment method, opening your cam in a private show, posting a comment on the fetish community forum or simply logging into the site. It can take a while to accumulate points, so use your boosts wisely. On the upside, if you have a favorite cam girl and a significant wad of points, you can really impact her positioning by giving her as many boosts as you want. While you can propel her to the first page of results, it will only last for a couple days, then the boosts are recalibrated and if others haven't boosted her, she may slip down in the rankings.
Private shows can earn you points but the per-minute rates at Flirt4Free aren't low. On average exclusive shows cost $5.00/min, though this does include cam2cam if you want. Similar to CamSoda, you can record your show, but at Flirt4Free you only get free access to the model's performance for a week. After that you'll need to pay again in order to unlock the video.
One way to get double the power in a boost is to sign-up as a VIP member. While this isn't cheap, costing $39.95 a month, as a VIP user, your boosts are doubled. So, if you use 250 points to give a cam girl a helping hand, it turns into 500 points. As a VIP patron, you also get 150 free credits (worth approximately $16.00) each month, as well as access to 200 free X-rated videos each day, free hour-long feature shows and VIP only promos.
BongaCams.com
BongaCams maybe a freemium cam platform where anyone can set up a cam feed and start broadcasting a NSFW from the comfort of their home, but this site attracts not just skilled amateur performers, but also professional models and a number of international celebrity adult stars. With such a hiqh-quality selection of cam hosts, it's not surprising that streaming quality is also high, with the majority of rooms using HD and HD plus feeds and a number broadcasting in 4K UHD. There are a range of ways in which the site ranks the hosts, only one of which is based on viewer voting.
If you want to have a say in which model's free tip-fueled and private shows are worth entering you simply click on the lovers button located on the top right of her chat room. It's free to send her some love but you'll have to be a Gold member in order to do this. Gold membership is automatically granted to anyone who has bought tokens on the platform. You don't need to have any in your account, just to have purchased some at some point in the past.
However, there are several ways in which the site orders the model's positioning. The automatic default selection corresponds to a performer's CamScore which is based on the site's criteria. They look at a variety of parameters including how often she performers, how many tips she gets and how many viewers are usually in her room. To see the girls which the audience thinks are stand-out stars, you'll need to sort the results to show those with the most love votes first. To do this you go to the Sort By: box on the top far right of the homes screen and from the drop-down menu choose Lovers.
If you want a private show with a cam girl, be prepared to pay for the privilege. While it is a freemium site, most girls are experienced and skilled in stripping off and performing all types of kinks. Exclusive show rates have the same rate, $5.00/min, across the board, regardless of the streaming quality she offers, the fetishes she'll perform and her time on the site. On the upside, a few rooms let you record the session at no extra cost, but only a handful will do this. Check with the performer first if this is a perk she offers.
If you want to go face-to-face with your fave cam model, but don't want to splash on out a private show, you can always open you cam in her free open video chat room. However it's worth tipping her before doing this. If you don't, she may just shut down your feed. If you need a few tokens just for tips, the site has a range of promos that'll give you free tokens. On your first purchase (no matter how small), you'll get 10 free tokens (each token is worth around $0.17). If you verify your account you'll also get an additional 10 free tokens. And, if you're using a mobile device such as a tablet or smartphone to enter BongaCams and buy tokens, you'll get an extra 50% (up to 100 tokens) added to your purchase.
XloveCam.com
XloveCam just sneaks onto this list of the best cam sites that let you vote for a model and boost her popularity. This premium site features a smaller selection of webcam hosts compared to the other platforms, but if you're looking for a performer who speaks your language, chances are you'll find her at XloveCam . The majority of the girls here are European models and most speak two, if not three languages. And. while this maybe a premium site, the free cam rooms push the limits. The XloveCam girls find it seemingly hard to restrain their inner-kink, often stripping off and playing with themselves without going into a private show mode.
Anyone can send a love to a model at XloveCam, you don't even need to log-in as member in order to choose which models deserve a boost in popularity. To help a model get fans by appearing higher in the site's search rankings all you do is click on the small love heart at the top of message box. You can send love once a day for as long as you want.
This can in a way be considered a manipulation of the results. For example, in a month you can send her 30 loves. Other viewers don't know if it's 30 users like them voting for her, or one person. You can also send love to as many models as you want each day. Being so free and easy with the loves maybe good for the models' egos, but it doesn't really help other viewers know if a performer is better than others.
While we may not be big fans of XloveCam's upvoting model system, we are big fans of the site's zoom feature. This is one of a just a few live video chat platforms that lets you zoom into a cam feed by up to 300%. You can do this both in a free video chat show, and of course a paid-for exclusive one. This tool really gives you a close-up look at the money makers. Just makes sure though the room is streaming with an HD feed, otherwise the image loses quality and can be quite pixelated when you zoom in. You can also view the live action in a full-screen mode for free.
Private show rates at XloveCam are some of the lowest you'll find at premium cam platform coming in at an average of just $2.20/min and this includes cam2cam usage. If you don't want other viewers peeking in at what the girl's up to, you'll need to a higher fee for an Xclusive show. Some hosts charge 30% more for this, while the most popular girls can increase their private show rates by up to 50% if you want 100% exclusivity. Even if someone is looking in, they can't contact the model or open their cam. They're purely silent voyeurs to her activity.
Conclusion
One important thing to bear in mind is that just because you're voting for her, or giving a model love/boost, it doesn't mean she'll be added to your list of favorite performers. If you want to create a list of favorite cam models at the site so you can easily see when they're online and get directly to their rooms without having to search for them, you'll have to save them as a favorite. Each site has a different way to do this, but it's a separate function at every platform from the voting tool.
When it come to choosing one site where the power of your vote can really impact a model's standing, CamSoda is the clear winner. This freemium site has thousands of performers streaming 24/7, all working hard in order to build a fan base and promote their unique NSFW talents.
The site itself also works hard in order to be your video chat platform of choice by offering a number of benefits including free cam2cam in open chat rooms, recordable private shows and a mobile platform with every feature the desktop version has including the ability to open your cam and enjoy some kinky cam chat on the go.
