Streamate is a leading webcam platform with a unique payment system. As opposed to most platforms where you have to purchase site tokens/credits prior to starting a private cam session, Streamate operates a pay-as-you-go system. Charges are deducted from the payment method you have on file at the site at the end of any paid-for performance you enter into.
Streamate as a Platform
Streamate is officially a premium cam site which means performers aren't (in theory) meant to go bare in their public chat rooms. However, Streamate allows their mainly, amateur cam hosts, to push this boundary and many will go wild if they're hosting an open show or being tipped by appreciative viewers. HD streaming is the most prevalent broadcasting quality, even among the amateur performers here.
The Models on Streamate
The platform's hosts are mainly skilled amateurs and semi-pro performers from every region. The site also attracts a lot of niche models such as bodybuilders, full-figured performers, those with tattoos and body modifications, as well as cam stars that specialize in wilder activities.
The Chat Types
Free Chat
Browsing the site, entering a free chat room and messaging the performer is free and open to everyone (not only registered members). Many do keep their activities tame in these rooms, but on the other hand, a significant number of performers will remove their clothes and take requests if tipped an appropriate amount.
Private Chat
Prices per minute for a 1on1 private cam session are all over the place and you pay in your local currency. As mentioned earlier, you simply file a payment method with the site and can then tip a model or enter a private performance, with the cost deducted from whichever payment method you have listed with the platform. On average, most rooms come in at around $3.00 a minute (or the equivalent value in the currency you'll be paying in). Most rooms ask a higher rate if it's to be a c2c chat. Other users can also join in the session and chat with the model.
Exclusive Chat
Exclusive Chat is the same as a Private Chat show, except other users are not permitted to join in the action. Rates per minute are much higher if you choose this option as opposed to the Private Chat mode.
Gold Shows
Gold Shows are initiated by the performer. Once a countdown to a Gold show begins, the host has a set time limit in which to raise a targeted goal. If you tip a predetermined amount during this time, you will then have access to the show. If the target is not reached, the performer may cancel the show and you will not be billed.

Customer Loyalty Program
The higher you rise in the 10 levels of the customer loyalty program, the bigger the percentage of the money you've spent on the site is credited back into your Streamate account. For example, on the first level, you'll get a refund of 1% of your spending deposited back - this increases level by level until you reach the top tier (level 10) and will receive 10% back of each spend.
Customer Support
Customer support at the site is extremely friendly. Not only is there a comprehensive FAQ section on the platform, but there's also a 24/7 live chat online support office as well as a phone number that is manned day and night. You can also email the site's admin team who normally respond within the hour.
Conclusion
Streamate is a great site if you're looking for something slightly different, but don't want to compromise on streaming quality or performance level. The site's payment system is its major attraction though, making it easy and quick to start a private show and not worry about running out of site credits/tokens at the most inopportune time.
