Chaturbate Review

Chaturbate may just be the most popular cam site to watch free sex cam shows on the net!

You can spend as much time as you want watching webcam women perform in public, without ever shelling out a dime.

So long as there are paying members who tip in the open rooms, the 4000 or so horny cam models here will continue to grind away.

You can just sit back and take in all of the beautifully naughty webcam shows.

As the God of Porn, Chaturbate ranks high on my list of freemium cam sites, though private cam2cam shows can end up on the expensive side.

Credits & Payment Options

• 100 Tokens for $10.99
• 200 Tokens for $20.99 
• 500 Tokens for $49.99 
• 750 Tokens for 62.99
• 1000 Tokens for 79.99

There are essentially 2 memberships.

Basic membership includes those members who've completed a registration form on the site, but haven't bought any Chaturbate Tokens yet.

You don't need a credit card to sign up as a Basic member, but you might need one when you purchase a Token bundle.

The entry level bundle of 100 Tokens for $10.99 works out to be $0.11 per unit. When considering the most expensive package here, of 1000 for 79.99, they then work out much cheaper at just 0.08 per token.

In other words, the bigger your token package, the cheaper each individual token becomes.

The premium membership here is called Chaturbate Supporter, and it has a monthly membership cost of $19.95 per month. Supporters get many welcome gifts including bonus tokens, a clean AD-FREE interface, and the option to choose your chat font and color.

Best of all, this premium membership lets you send private messages to the webcam models whenever you want.

There are several payment options offered by Chaturbate.com in addition to Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express credit cards.

You can pay for Tokens via a Wire Transfer though there is a minimum purchase of $250.00.

Chaturbate also accepts Cryptocurrency as payment, so if you're savvy enough to have an e-wallet loaded with virtual cash, then come spend your Bitcoin on these porn and sex cam sites.

There are a wide variety of virtual currencies accepted including: Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) & Vertcoin (VTC). 100 Tokens is the minimum crypto purchase.

Quality of Live Shows

You get world class webcam shows, more than 4000 of them available around the clock, every day of the year.

There's amateurs and self-proclaimed porn stars galore here, with girls, guys and transgender cam models gracing these Chaturbate rooms.

You're certainly getting top shelf service with a diverse webcam model selection here.

And so long as there are paying users tipping the webcam babe in explicit free sex cam shows, you get to watch with no minimum required tip amount.

And while it's always fun watching a webcam girl masturbate, or spying in on a couple fucking on cam, many choose to go into private shows in order to have a bit more privacy.

It's easy to attract the cam babe's attention here by showering her with tips.

The more Tokens you have to share, the more focused her attention becomes. Its also possible to tip for certain actions in these sessions.

Don't forget though, that you may not be the only fan in the room - and you may have to compete with others for the cam model's undivided focus.

But as a spender you'll be noticed, and through messaging you can nurture and grow your own unique connection with the performing cam girl.

What's more, there are plenty of naughty cuties, who have interactive sex toys and remote controlled vibrators.

You can send tips to get their toys to react, and look on as these bad-ass cam babes moan and groan in pleasure.

There are also a number of webcam models who offer private sex shows. The popular ones can get expensive, as they usually require some large tip just to get interested.

Private chat shows on Chaturbate start at $0.65 per minute. The average private chat session here is $3.27 per minute. Most cam models haev a 10 minute minimum for private 1-on-1 chat.

Chaturbate presents members with budget private sex shows. And you have a number of webcam models to choose from, even some who are playing in 4K UHD quality.

There's an entire category dedicated to Private Shows and you can filter for the following priced chat rooms:

• 6 Tokens per minute
• 12 Tokens per minute
• 18 Tokens per minute
• 30 Tokens per minute
• 60 Tokens per minute
• 90 Tokens per minute

Similar to CamSoda, some Chaturbate models allow for show recordings, which means that you'll receive a recorded video of the private show for your very own personal collection.

Types of Chat Rooms

With Chaturbate hosting girls, guys, and trans webcam models, you'll find a huge variety of rooms to please the masses.

The main browsing window is default set to the Featured models, but this can then also be reordered by: Female, Male, Couple, Trans, Spy Shows or Followed.

The cam models add popular themselves to popular hashtags, which is how users find them.

And Chaturbate's directory of hashtags is mighty extensive; there are 1000 of them!

While most model's are honest, and tag themselves appropriately for specific fetishes, some webcam models include tags just to increase their appeal.

The problem is that there seems to be no oversight from the Chaturbate team, and therefore not much can be done about it.

Check out all kinds of webcam performers when you visit the: BBW, Mature, Hairy, Shy, MILF, & Tattoo cam rooms as examples.

And for even more extreme sexual encounters, don't forget to step into any of these hardcore sex shows: JOI, CEI, SPH, Cuckold & Submissive.

Among the Couple tags, the more popular rooms include: Anal, Squirt, Young, New & Lush while the Male tags which seem to draw in the most action include: Bigcock, Uncut, Hairy, Cum & C2C.

And the most popular Trans tags seem to be: Interactive Toy, Private & Lovense.

You can literally spend hours browsing through the many tags looking for your perfect webcam masturbation partner or couple.

Model Selection & Content

You'll find just about every kind of cam model imaginable here, and they come from all four corners of the world.

From petite looking white college teens, to Ebony and BBW babes, to webcam girls with tattoos and piercings and more, you'll find them here.

And not just girls but guys and t-girls too.

As you scroll through the main viewing page, you'll notice that the model profile pics also feature basic bio information. Those performers who have chosen to, include their country.

When you enter into the cam room, you can find out more about the performer including the languages she speaks as well as the rules of her room and if she's available for private cam shows.

A number of models host their own fan clubs and entice you to join, while other models stuff their profile walls with taboo pics and video clips for you to buy.

Many of the models also promote their other social media pages on their own private walls, and you can choose to follow them on Twitter, Snapchat or Instagram.

Video & Image Quality

Chaturbate is one of a few live video chat sites that run 4K chat rooms.

In reality, this adult site supports a number of different stream formats from SD right up to Ultra def HD.

The rooms are generally clearly indicated, and you'll notice either an HD or HD+ icon.

The video player opens up in a compact sized screen, which can be made bigger or smaller using your mouse and the slider feature found on the right side of the video player. There is also a handy button to max out the picture and go full screen.

The player also has setting options. If you have lightening internet speeds, choose the highest play-back format that the model offers. On the other hand, if you suffer from poor connection problems, select a lower format to avoid picture stutter or freezing.

Most of the webcam models on Chaturbate broadcast in full-HD at 1080p, though an ever growing population are upgrading to 4K UHD.

Safety/Discretion

You're safe and secure visiting the Chaturbate.com website, as this live cam site protects its users with top level security.

For starters, the main website is HTTPS compliant and then the payments page adds additional layers of protection.

HTTPS is used to safeguard private information between the site's server and your own internet browser. It's often used as protection in daily activities such as internet banking or online shopping order forms.

Next, the payments page (where you physically complete your credit details) has extra security in the form of SSL 256 bit key encryption as well as TLS encoding.

TLS encoding scrambles the digits of your credit card, making only the last 4 numbers visible. Your card can still be identified, but online criminals won't be able to hack your account details.

As far as billing support is concerned, Chaturbate offers the following contact options:

• Toll-Free phone number (USA)
• Int'l contact phone number
• E-mail

For questions about the site, there's a sub-directory labelled Support, where you can find informative and interesting articles on a range of different topics including Getting Started, Broadcasting, Buying Tokens & Account Security.

Odds & Ends

Chaturbate is a live adult webcam site which is always buzzing, and its liberal policy means that it's open to everyone aged 18+ and upwards.

While guests are welcome to visit any of the open rooms for as long as they want, they are essentially voyeurs on the site, with absolutely no chatting rights.

Guest visitors also have certain site restrictions, and aren't able to access or use the site's advanced filtering options.

It's the paying users who have all the fun, as they compete for the model's attention and control the action in tip driven cam shows.

They also get to enjoy more intimate experiences in 1-on-1 restricted sex shows.

As I've already laid out, Basic membership is free and registration only takes a few minutes.

You need to supply the following info: Username, Password, Birthday & Gender.

Giving an e-mail address is optional and is only needed to send and receive friend notifications.

Once set-up, you can now buy and spend Tokens; either tipping in the open shows or paying for a private 1-on-1 encounter with cam2cam.

You might want to consider taking on a monthly membership, even if it's just for 1 month.

Registering as a Premium member, called a Chaturbate Supporter, you get given a once-off gift of 200 FREE Tokens. The monthly membership is priced at $19.95 per month.

I would subscribe for 30 days, get my 200 free Tokens, and then cancel after 1 month, and become a pay-per-use subscriber.

In other words, buying Tokens only when I wanted to or needed to.

While most Chaturbate action happens in open cam shows, there are a number of gorgeous cam babes ready to head into private as well.

However, unlike on premium video chat sites where not only are private chats encouraged - they're easy to start.

On Chaturbate, private 1-on-1 sessions are a little bit more complicated to get going.

You need to set yourself up with your own chat room first, before approaching the model and requesting a cam2cam show. Look for the tag Broadcast Yourself (top menu bar) and follow the instructions.

You would need to send her an invite - she'll most probably want some kind of financial incentive just to become interested.

Once she accepts, she will then enter your own room. This private paid for service includes 2-way video and audio, and is the only way to get a personalized experience.

By the way, once you've set yourself up to broadcast, you become what's called an 'Exhibitionist'. You can even choose to accept tips or not - if you want.

This particular category (exhibitionist) is mainly loaded with men.

But there are also a few cam babes to be found, who like watching other men and/or women perform while masturbating. These are the ones doing it for primal pleasure and not for money.

Does the idea of receiving free Tokens interest you as much as it interests me?

These are the ways for you to succeed. First, you can earn Tokens by broadcasting yourself as mentioned above.

Next, you'll be awarded up to 10 Tokens for referring friends, who end up registering to Chaturbate, and up to 500 Tokens for those friends who not only register - but broadcast themselves as well (they need to have earned $20.00 before they qualify).

Lastly, you can earn 200 free Tokens by increasing your spending limit. You need to download and complete the Spending Limit Increase Form - in order to cash in on this offer.

And for those who live their lives on the go, Chaturbate works brilliantly on all smartphones including prime optimization for both Android and Apple systems.

Conclusion

Even though Chaturbate isn't the only freemium cam site, it towers over its competitors in terms of show quality, webcam model selection, and variety of performers.

You can hop on at any time and find 1000s of naked webcam girls grinding and working the cheering crowds!

Best of all, you never need to pay to watch open cam shows here, making Chaturbate a must see cam site.
