BongaCams - Average Number of Hosts Online
* Compiled over the last 90 days
BongaCams is a leading freemium cam site mainly featuring performers from across Europe. Most of the action takes place in free open chat rooms with models encouraged to take things to the next level in return for tips. Private cam sessions are extremely cheap and standardized across the site. One of the major draws at BongaCams is that viewers can activate their webcams in the models' free hang-outs.
Unique Features
- Cam to cam option in free chat rooms
- On-going promotions and special offers
- Daily tokens giveaway
Prices
Tokens on the site cost between 6 to 8 cents each depending on the package purchased. The larger the number of tokens bought at any one time, the cheaper they are.
All private cam sessions cost the same regardless of the model's appearance, broadcasting capabilities and niche performance type requested.
Private shows come in at a budget-friendly 60 tokens a minute. Group chat (multi-user shows) cost an even cheaper 30 tokens a minute and Spy Shows come in at a low-ball 15 tokens a minute. The most expensive type of show is a Full Private Chat which is still value for money at just 9 tokens a minute.
Models
Most of the 800 rooms feature amateur European cam models. There is always a small selection of men, transgenders and rooms with multiple hosts performing together but the focus at BongaCams is on girls.
Unfortunately, the cheap cam rates come with a compromise, and that tends to be the broadcasting quality of a great number of the site's performers. Most still stream in SD, with only a handful HD enabled.
Navigating the Site
The site features a range of ads that do disrupt viewing. Within a minute of the homepage loading, a pop-up will appear calling on you to sign-up and purchase tokens. This happens at regular intervals. Once you do register for free, the ads will reappear promoting various special offers.
As with most amateur-powered cam sites, the cam hosts tend to tag themselves with as many search terms as possible, so filtering out rooms that are not of interest can be quite a cumbersome process.
Chat Types
- Free Chat - Anyone can enter a free chat room and enjoy the performances. The cam hosts will most likely not be clothed and carrying out all types of activities using toys and accessories. Many will allow cam to cam usage, especially if you tip them a few tokens.
- Private Chat - This is when the cam host will take directions only from one person. Others can view the action but not communicate with the host. Cam to cam is included in all private chat sessions.
- Spy/Voyeur - In a Spy Show you can view another user's Private Chat session but not communicate with the performer in any way.
- Group Chat - Group Chats are paid-for multi-viewer shows. These tend to be offered by the cam performers who prefer to remain clothed in their open chat rooms and will only bare all in a paid-for session.
- Full Private Chat - This mode is the same as a Private Chat but no other users can peek into the action.
Customer Support
BongaCams has excellent customer support service facilities. In addition to its online 24/7 live chat support room, there's also an email contact and a comprehensive FAQ page.
VIP Program
After your first purchase of BongaCams tokens, you're automatically upgraded to a premium membership level and given 10 free tokens as a welcome gift. The site also offers a VIP Program for $20.00 a month. This gives a range of free benefits and additional perks including free access to locked photos and videos, as well as free tokens.
Conclusion
BongaCams isn't just a cheap European cam site, it's almost a no-charge cam site. Most of the activity takes place in the webcam models' free open chat rooms where they perform all types of niche activities for tips.
While private chat shows may seem somewhat expensive, the site features a huge range of promotional offers, free token giveaways and special time-limited deals that cut the price of tokens by half or more.
