Top 8 Live Cam Sites That Take Prepaid & Gift Cards
Prepaid cards (and brand name / store gift cards) aren't only a great way to keep a track of your online spending, they also add that extra layer of anonymity and security.
The following live cam sites all accept prepaid cards and some even accept major brand and store gift cards as a payment method for site tokens/credits to spend on private adult video chat shows.
CamSoda has many open rooms with amateur and semi-pro webcam models performing almost every kink you can think of. You will also come across celebrity live sex stars hosting 1on1 private cam shows for just a few dollars a minute. The site is one of only a select few that offer private mobile c2c cam shows. While cam2cam isn't always included in a model's rates, many rooms feature free recordable private sessions, making it a cam show gift that just keeps on giving. Prices vary depending on the particular type of show you are looking for and how experienced (and popular) the cam girl. Guest users can passively watch as much free live cams as one would want to.
Flirt4Free is among the most fetish friendly cam sites around. All webcam show rates include the use of C2C in private chat and although some are pricey, there are always cheaper webcam rooms to dive into and a range of multi-user live sex shows with incredibly affordable per minute costs. As for something kinkier, Flirt4Free has a dedicated Fetish Community microsite which features 50+ categories of the genre, along with a huge selection of fetish related infotainment. Known for having hosting some of the most talented female webcam models online, Flirt4Free is also home to one of the best selections of male webcam performers.
LiveJasmin is a great livestreaming platform if you are looking for class and sophistication from the webcam performers. Most of the models are professional cam hosts and look like they have just stepped out of a lingerie catalogue. Streaming is HD or HD+ in almost every room. There is no nudity in the open rooms, but if you take a model into a private 1on1 on cam show, there is no limit to what most will do. Cam2cam and 2-way audio is an extra fee on top of their advertised per minute rates. And if you are looking for models found on no other platform, many of the models on LiveJasmin are exclusive to the site.
Stripchat, like Chaturbate, is a freemium cam site where the girls (guys and couples plus) get naked and extreme in their free chat rooms. It, however, does not look like a freemium site with no ads cluttering up the homepage and a fast, intuitive search engine that lets you find your perfect live porn playmate in just a few clicks. The models range from skilled exhibitionists to semi-pro cam personalities and even fetish fans that perform thrilling BDSM webcam shows. Rates vary, some are cam2cam inclusive, while others charge extra. Stripchat is currently the only site that offers a fully immersive virtual reality (VR) show option.
ImLive features some of the cheapest cam2cam inclusive private video chat rates around. The models range from skilled amateurs to the occassional appearance by celebrity adult stars, however the streaming quality is of a lower standard in the cheaper rooms, with the HD rooms usually costing significantly more. The site offers a range of low-cost group shows and features a free multi-viewer search feature that lets you look at six live feeds at one time. It also has a great VIP cam site membership program which offers benefits including free access to recorded shows and free entry to live celebrity performances.
Every webcam performer on LivePrivates is at the top of their game and most are not only stunning, but also extremely skilled in a perv or two such as SPH, bondage, roleplay, BDSM, and more. Prices can get high if you want a cam to cam show as activating your webcam and microphone will set you back an additional 1 to 2 credits for each, on top of the models regular per minute rate. If a webcam room is hosting a 'Sale', then be sure to check it out as the model is offering private sessions at the site's minimum rate for a limited time. LivePrivates attracts models that are glammed up and bedroom ready, with less of the "amateur" type on offer.
Chaturbate is one of the largest freemium cam sites featuring thousands of mainly amateur models performing every kink imaginable in the publicly accessible free open chat rooms. Although most of the rooms are hosted by girl-next-door types, there is also an abundance of professional live sex models. This is among the few cam sites that has some of its webcam rooms broadcasting in up to 4K livestreaming. Prices for a private cam show vary from super-cheap to quite costly. But the majority of the action that takes place on this platform happening in the public cam rooms where the models get fully explicit to earn tips.
Cam4 sort of sneaks onto my list in last place due to the fact it's one of just a few platforms that will take your unwanted or partially used gift card and convert the value remaining into site tokens. It's a freemium site, which means a lot of free extreme shows. Most of the models are true amateurs and for handful of tokens, you pretty much will get them performing whatever you want. Private show rates vary, and not all of the exhibitionists will leave their free rooms to start an exclusive show with you alone. My beef with the site is that it's hard to navigate, as similar platforms are much easier to get around.
Credit Cards - A Popular Choice To Pay For Live Porn
Why Use a Prepaid Card?
Using a prepaid card means you never overspend. The card is preloaded with an amount of money that you have budgeted for and once it finishes - so does your spending spree. Many also appreciate the extra layer of discretion and security it gives when using it for services you do not necessarily want your bank manager or significant other to see.
The card isn't linked to your bank account like credit or debit cards are, making it one of the most anonymous ways to purchase items.
The webcam sites listed here take most of the major prepaid cards such as Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Discover, etc., but check out my blog covering which cam sites take which credit cards to see which platforms accept which cards.
Using a Gift Card
When it comes to purchasing cam site currency with gift cards, not many people know that those generic gifts you get do not have to be used at the store or brand they represent. For example, if you have a Walmart, Starbucks, iTunes or Adidas card, you can use it in many places — including live webcam platforms.
The only downside is that the card processor will take a commission, so you lose some of its value when converting the dollar amount into webcam site credits/tokens.
Conclusion
When it comes to using a prepaid card almost all the major live cam platforms will take them, the real question is which is better than the rest? Each of them has their own strengths, so it really depends on what you're looking for.
The freemium sites, CamSoda, Chaturbate, Cam4 and Stripchat all have low-cost private cam shows, but also a huge variety of naked naughtiness taking place for free in the open chat rooms.
The premium sites, LiveJasmin, ImLive, Flirt4Free and LivePrivates do not necessarily give you live sex for free, but the models are all at the top of their game. Most broadcast in HD and many are skilled experts in a variety of sub-genres such as BDSM, roleplay, squirting, etc. In addition, they also feature cam rooms ranging from new performers charging minimum per minute rates, to celebrity cam star rooms that charge far more.
If one just edges out the rest it would be CamSoda, with such a wide range of performers, streaming quality, show types and fetishes, you are guaranteed to find the perfect live porn pal for an extremely cost-effective webcam show.
I have been working in adult entertainment since the early 2000's. I started as an assistant on porn production sets, and then I moved on to above-the-line production work. Eventually, I took everything to the web, working on mainstream porn sites, fetish porn sites, and best sex cam sites.
