Important: about the new token-based pricing

Dear Partners,

We see that there is a great confusion about the new token-based pricing. Members also complained, that they think that the website prices have gone up. The main difference is, that whatever price you set for private minutes, it will be your earnings.

For example, if you set your price to 50 tokens, you will earn 2.5 USD per minute. This also means, that if your previous price was 2.49 credits, 50 tokens is double so expensive for members, as before. When selecting your private show price in the Performer Area, you will always see how much you earn for a minutes in the drop-down menu. Generally, we can say, that your old price multiplied by 10 should be the recommended new price.

Example:

Old private price in credits New price in tokens
1.99 20
2.49 25
2.99 30
3.99 40


Models have total freedom selecting the prices, but please consider, that if you do not charge the right amount, members will be disappointed and might just leave the website.

If you need help figuring out the new token system or have questions, let us know!

INTRODUCING TOKENS AND CHARGEBACK PROTECTION

In our previous email, we wrote about the new Token system we are about to introduce to SoulCams. This is a big step for the website and we strongly believe, it will bring a lot of positive changes.

So far models' earnings have been calculated as a certain percentage. Standard members with 50% and referred members with an extra 20%. The biggest change is that tokens have a fixed value of $0.05 / token. Members can purchase tokens in pre-defined packages, just like they did with credits. The bigger the package they buy, the higher the token amount will be (including bonus tokens). VIP members will get even more tokens on every purchase. You can find a detailed description on the new token packages on our WIKI page

Member referral in it's current form is going to retire and will be replaced by the token bonuses. However, with our new incentives, the 4-hours contest and the monthly contest, we are giving away more than $10.000 every month to Models. On top of that, we will continue making contests and special promotions for members, where they can get extra tokens. At the same time, we teamed up with major traffic providers to get more viewers and members to the website. Models will also have more options to set the prices for private shows: 15 - 100 tokens / minute for standard shows and 20 - 200 tokens / minute for 1on1 shows. Prices for virtual gifts will be adjusted and members will find a better pricing scheme.

By popular request, we are launching our chargeback protection program from 1 August. All models are automatically protected, you do not have to apply. You can find a detailed description on the chargeback protection on our WIKI page

The new Token-based system will take effect on 6 August 2019. This will be one of our biggest update since our launch, with bug fixes, system-wide updates and new features. We are aiming for a smooth process and expect no outage. If you experience issues or the site would not load, please be patient.


As always, if you have questions or suggestions, let us know by email at support@soulcams.com or write to us on Twitter.

We reserve the right to disqualify models from contests and promotions if the performance or quality of the stream is not up to our standards. We consider these events and incidents as damaging to the website's reputation and will not tolerate them. These include, but not limited to the following:

  • Broadcasting low quality, bad stream (low FPS, low resolution, low light conditions, artifacts, etc.)
  • Empty chat room (model is not appearing on cam)
  • Appearance not appropriate: model should look authentic and attractive
    • Dirty or messy clothing
    • Lack of overall hygiene
    • Lack of mental and/or physical fitness (sleep deprivation, looking tired or exhausted)
    • Being online too long without break/sleep
    • sleeping in front of the cam or 'passing out'
  • Broadcasting pre-recorded video instead of live stream
  • Constant stream showing total zoom on one specific body part, clothing item or room equipment/furniture
  • Still stream (one frame showing only as still image)
  • Using stolen identity / fake IDs to register a model account
  • Forcing or soliciting members to vote, tip, start a private session, etc.
  • Mocking, harassing other models or users of SoulCams
  • Promotion of your profile and/or services through spamming (including email, comments, chat, board and so on)
  • involvement in fraud


In certain cases, we will notify and warn the model before suspension but in some cases we will suspend the account for a given time or even close the account immediately.

Step 1: Notification, warning (by email or in chat)

Step 2: Suspension of account (from 1 hour to a few days,m depending on the severity)

Step 3: Closing of the account and in some cases holding payments


These rules have been updated in our Hourly and Monthly Top Awards wiki page (https://wiki.soulcams.com/index.php?title=Model_Awards) and the Take three contest description as well (https://wiki.soulcams.com/index.php?title=Take_Three_Contest).


Thank you for your co-operation and we wish you good luck!

The new contest system will replace the old Model Awards, which will finish on 30 June.

The summer vibes are here and we are announcing another fresh contest with a staggering cash prize of $10.000! The winner of the contest will take mind-blowing first prize of $5.000!

MEMBERS GET MORE SOULCAMS CREDITS ON EVERY PURCHASE

We have good news for you: from last Friday, we are giving more credits on all purchases for all members! This means more playtime for them for private sessions and more income for you!. Whether your member purchases SoulCams credits in USD, EUR or even GBP , they will be served with extra credits by default.

At the same time, we decided to cancel the Member Awards. The reason is simple: we would like to re-think the current bonus system and find other ways for our members to earn extra credits. The last Member Awards finisihed Saturday midnight and new one has not started. We strongly believe, that the new credits packages and future promotions will make up for the old Awards.
