Private Show Possibilities

All you need to know about private shows on CAM4 — per minute, time blocks, or solo private with spies.

Private Shows on CAM4: How to Earn Smart with 1-on-1

Choose per minute, work with pre-paid time blocks, or start a solo private show with spies. Clear prices = more trust (and therefore more tips).

Tip: also mention your private options and rates in your bio or Activity Feed.

What is a private show?

A private show is an exclusive show between you and one viewer. Depending on your settings, others can (paid) watch as “spy”. With private shows, you are guaranteed to earn tokens per minute or sell a time block in advance.

Three ways to earn with private

1) Pay per minute

Pay per minute (settings)

Viewers see the cost per minute before requesting a private show; in the Netherlands, 21% VAT is applied upon purchase.

Guideline example: 12 tokens/min is $1.20 per minute for you. Your viewer in the Netherlands sees an amount of 15 tokens/min including VAT. This VAT percentage varies per country where your fan lives.

Pro tip: allow spying (Spy). These viewers only see the image, no chat, and hear no sound.

2) Time blocks (pre-paid)

Fixed rate for time blocks

Offer pre-paid blocks. You choose the duration and the price; the viewer chooses and pays.

Advantage: you are assured of the entire block. If the viewer clicks away themselves, you will still be paid the full block. If you end it yourself or your connection drops, the tokens go back to the viewer.

3) Solo private show

Solo private show display

You appear to be in private, but you are alone. Spies can — if you allow it — watch for a fee and pay per minute.

Useful for calmly setting up your games or settings (turn off Spy then), or if you are running a private show elsewhere and want to generate income on CAM4 at the same time via spies.

Cam2Cam: make your private show even more intimate

C2C offers more intimacy and often higher per-minute prices — communicate your terms and boundaries in advance. Some models find it much nicer to be able to see the viewer themselves, but some do not. Adjust your price accordingly.

Activate Cam2Cam

Activate Cam2Cam

Go to the settings of your Private Show via the gear next to ‘Requests for private shows’. Set your C2C price and check ‘Allow Cam2Cam’. Save — done.

What does it cost?

Cam2Cam is usually ±1.25× the price of your normal private show. If you normally ask for 12–18 tokens/min, then 18–24 tokens/min for C2C is a logical range.

Enlarge/move C2C window

During the show

        

  1. The video of your viewer appears in a corner of your screen (movable and scalable).

    2.     

  2. Use the Cam2Cam buttons: mute and volume control.

Auto-Pause: your time after a private show

Auto-Pause

Auto-Pause gives you time to catch your breath after a Private or Group Show, before your public stream goes live again.

How does it work?

Afterwards, your stream automatically pauses for up to 5 minutes. Get something to drink, change clothes, or reset your setting — you decide.

You can resume earlier at any time via “Resume Broadcast”. If you wait longer than 5 minutes, the stream ends automatically.

You will not receive private requests during the pause.

What viewers see

Price & transparency

Communicate in advance what makes private different from your public show (tempo, requests, Cam2Cam, no negotiations) and stick to your rates. Clarity increases conversion and prevents hassle.

Never miss a private show request again: with Offline Private Show (OPS) notifications fans can book at any time and you choose how you are alerted.

Banning and Moderating

Banning and moderating on CAM4 — here’s how to keep your room safe, cozy, and under control.

Safety on CAM4: Banning and Moderating

Keep CAM4 fun and safe with the right measure at the right time. Difference between banning (denying access) and moderating (steering chat behavior).

You decide what happens in your room — choose the mildest effective option and scale up if necessary.

Banning on CAM4

Sometimes it is necessary to deny someone access completely or partially. There are two types of bans:

1) Administrator Site Ban

With a site ban, a user loses access to the entire website — usually after violating the Terms & Conditions or illegal activities.

  • Illegal/prohibited activities (including minors)
  • Spamming or scamming
  • Unlawfully recording/distributing broadcasts
  • Persistent ignoring of warnings (e.g., playing video instead of live)

Payment problems can also lead to a site ban. Do they think they were banned unfairly? Refer to support@cam4.com.

Full terms: cam4.com/legal/termsofuse

2) Broadcaster Room Ban

  • Only applies to your room.
  • The viewer can still use the rest of CAM4.
  • Only use if milder options didn’t work.

You have full control over who has access to your room.

Moderating on CAM4

In addition to banning, there are lighter measures to keep your chat pleasant. Both you and your moderators can use these functions.

Moderate Yourself or Deploy a Moderator

  • You can steer visitors yourself with available tools.
  • You can also appoint a moderator who takes over (part of) it.
  • A good moderator promotes atmosphere and income — reward active mods.
Note: Be careful with mod rights, especially with other models. Someone else can remove visitors from your room; confidentiality and clear agreements are essential.

Available Options (from Mild to Strict)

Silencing

Messages from the visitor are not visible to anyone. Useful for negative behavior, spam, or begging.

Advantage: the user often doesn’t notice and is less likely to create new accounts.

Kicking

The visitor is temporarily removed but can come back immediately. Only use after a clear warning.

Room Ban

The heaviest tool within your room. The visitor can only come back once you have released (unban) him/her.

Keep CAM4 Fun!

Banning and moderating protect our community against abuse, illegal activities, and disruptive behavior. Use them wisely and to your advantage.

Do you see someone who is not following the rules? Report this to your performer manager (Alexandra) or email performers@cam4.com.

Summary: start mild (silence/ignore), scale up (kick), and ban only when necessary. You determine the climate in your room — clear rules, consistent enforcement, nice vibe.

Refer a Friend & Referral Promotion Program

Want to get more out of your broadcasts? Earn extra in two ways: Refer a Friend (Friends Bonus) and the Referral Program for viewers.

Earn More: Refer a Friend & Referral Program

Two simple ways to boost your income: invite a friend to become a broadcaster or earn from verified sign-ups via your link.

Tip: combine both — promote your referral link on socials and within your shows.

Overview — Two Ways to Earn Extra

1) Refer a Friend (Friends Bonus)

Invite a friend to become a broadcaster themselves. You get USD 50 as soon as your referral meets the conditions. Your friend can earn up to USD 600 bonus in 6 weeks.

2) Referral Program (Viewers)

Share your unique link. Get paid for each verified free sign-up (email confirmed) — up to USD 2.00 per registration (country dependent).

1) Refer a Friend — Friends Bonus

Invite your friends to become broadcasters and earn bonuses together — simple, transparent, and quickly arranged.

What Does It Yield?

  • USD 50 bonus for you.
  • Your friend can earn up to USD 600 bonus in 6 weeks.

    Vrienden Bonus

How It Works

  1. Create Account — help your friend with a CAM4 account.
  2. Pass on Your Username — via the chat box or mail to julia@cam4.com.
  3. Bonus Program — your friend can earn up to 600 USD in 6 weeks.
  4. Your Bonus — you get 50 USD as soon as your referral streamed ≥ 20 hours and earned ≥ 100 USD.

⚠️ That first USD 100 does not have to be earned within the first 20 hours.

Rules

  • Only for new performers who have not been active on CAM4 before.
  • The new performer broadcasts under the United Kingdom and speaks English.
  • Your username must be correctly passed on to us upon registration.
  • Bonuses do not count towards the required minimum of 100 USD.
  • Tokens that you give to your friend do not count towards that 100 USD.

In short: you get 50 USD as soon as your referral has broadcasted for 20 hours and has earned 100 USD. They can grab up to 600 USD bonus in 6 weeks.

2) Referral Program — Earn from Viewers

ChatBot

Multitasking without stress….

Chat Bot on CAM4: automatic help in your chat (so you can shine)

Automate welcome messages, thank yous, and updates. More peace of mind for you, more clarity for your viewers — and a more active room.

Tip: put your core message and your Tip Menu in a recurring message every few minutes.

Watch the short demo

What is a Chat Bot?

CAM4 Chat Bot example

The Chat Bot supports your LIVE chat as a personal moderator. You set messages and triggers, the bot places them automatically — so you keep focus on your performance and real-time attention.

The three most popular bot types

Welcome Bot

Welcome Bot example

Automatically send a warm welcome message to new viewers (with ~5 seconds delay after entry).

Tip Bot

Tip Bot icon

Have the bot say ‘thank you’ for a tip or when a goal is reached. Set different reactions per token amount.

Planning / Automatic Notification Bot

Notification Bot icon

Schedule a series of pre-set messages that appear at fixed intervals in your public chat. Note: there must be at least three viewer messages in the chat before notifications appear.

Examples: what can you have posted automatically?

  • Updates of your goals
  • Changes in your Tip Menu
  • Fan club / Shop offers and discounts
  • Room rules and boundaries
  • Promotions for social media
  • Wish lists (CAM4 Swag Store, Amazon, etc.)
  • Upcoming shows and cam planning

Why this works

With endlessly customizable options and three powerful bot commands, the Chat Bot keeps your show running smoothly, informs your audience, and encourages tips — while keeping your hands free.

Pro tip: repeat your core action every 3–5 minutes (e.g. “120 more to Goal 2 — thanks to [name]!”) and let the bot help to keep your rhythm.

Online safety: simple tips for everyone

Working online is great: you choose your own hours and you’re your own boss. Protect yourself and your income at the same time with these practical basics.

Tip: make safety part of your routine — small habits, big effect.

Passwords and 2FA

Strong passwords

  • Make them long (at least 12 characters).
  • Mix letters, numbers and symbols.
  • No personal info (social security number, date of birth, PIN).
  • A different password for each site.

Two-step verification (2FA)

  • Turn on 2FA for your most important accounts.
  • Preferably use an authenticator app.
  • Store backup codes safely (not in your email).

Phishing and suspicious links

Don’t fall for fake emails

  • Real companies never ask for your password via email/DM.
  • Don’t click on “log in here” links from messages.
  • Are you in doubt? Go to the website yourself and log in there.

Watch out where you click

  • Don’t open unknown links, files or photos.
  • Also pay attention in Skype/WhatsApp and other chat apps.
  • Stay within the platform where possible.

Recognizing scams

Too good to be true

  • “Free money”, “super fast opportunities”, “exclusive deals” = usually scams.
  • Ignore and delete. Do not respond.

Privacy: what you never share

Keep it private

  • Don’t put your real name on screen.
  • Don’t share photos/videos of family or children.
  • Remove location data from photos (turn off location on your phone/camera).

Separate work and private

  • Use a stage name.
  • Use a separate email address and (where possible) separate phone number.
  • Never share your real name or address — not even with other models; keep it professional.

Physical safety

What you show

  • Use a neutral background; no documents or outside view in the picture.
  • Avoid recognizable places, license plates or unique furniture.

Location & mail

  • Don’t share your location or schedule live.
  • Preferably use a PO box for mail.

Mental well-being and boundaries

Boundaries

  • Set clear rules (what you do/don’t do).
  • Block or mute anyone who crosses your boundary — without feeling guilty.

Self-care

  • Take breaks. Sleep and eat well.
  • Talk to someone if something is bothering you.

Collaboration and consent

Clear agreements

  • Only work with adults (18+).
  • Discuss in advance what is/is not okay. “Yes is yes, no is no.”
  • Record agreements briefly (chat/message). Do not share data from others.

Quick checklist: strong passwords + 2FA on, never click on login links from messages, don’t share private info/location, separate work and private, keep boundaries — and update your security settings regularly.
