DAC7 & Taxes

Although the UK is not subject to DAC7, we are updating our processes to align with global standards, including similar European regulations like DAC7. These changes mean we need to collect additional information from broadcasters/creators to process payments. Providing accurate information is essential to avoid issues with payouts.

DAC7 in short: European rules require platforms to report income from creators to the Tax Authorities. Here’s how to comply easily — without hassle.

DAC7 & the Tax Authorities

DAC7 requires platforms like CAM4 to report user income to EU tax authorities. Our process is streamlined so you can pay out quickly and compliantly.

Tip: Keep your details up-to-date (social security number, address, name). Is everything correct? Payouts run smoother.

What is DAC7?

DAC7 is European legislation that requires platforms to share certain information about user income with tax authorities. Goal: to combat tax evasion and promote fair taxation.

Why is this important to you?

Transparency

With correct data, you contribute to a fairer system and avoid administrative issues.

No Surprises

Because your information is complete upon registration, you will not face additional obligations later.

Fast Payouts

Correct data = fast processing of your payouts.

What Happens to Your Data?

Privacy & Security

  • Data is only used to comply with DAC7.
  • We store your data securely and only share what is legally required.

What We Do/Don’t Report

  • We report necessary information (such as the amount you have earned).
  • We do not report the nature of your activities on the platform.

What Do You Need to Do?

  • When registering, fill in your details completely and correctly (social security number, official name, address, country).
  • Keep your profile information up-to-date (moved or changed name? adjust immediately).
  • Check your payment and profile settings occasionally to avoid delays.

Important: this article is informative and not tax advice. Consult the Tax Authorities website for official information.

Questions or Need Help?

Do you have questions about DAC7 or payments? Email us via payments@cam4.com. More information can also be found on the Tax Authorities website.

Make sure your details are always up to date. Does something change? Adjust it directly in your profile to prevent interruptions.

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 Tips

Protect yourself and your income: simple, practical tips for online safety that you can apply today.

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.

GroupShows

Give an exclusive group show on CAM4: sell tickets, start on time, and stream only for paying viewers.

Group Shows on CAM4

A group show is an exclusive show for which viewers buy a ticket. Only ticket buyers see your stream — ideal for guaranteed, paying viewers.

Tip: announce your group show in advance and start no later than ~15 minutes after your intro.

What is a Group Show?

You sell tickets to viewers who want access. So it’s one performer for a group of paying viewers (not: multiple performers at the same time). Announce in time what happens in the show; the countdown shows when you start.

Groepshow instellen (voorbeeld)

How to Set Up Your Group Show

Settings in the Menu

  • Description: what can viewers expect?
  • Ticket price: your fixed price per access.
  • Minimum number of tickets for passage.
  • Duration of the show.
  • Countdown: how long people can still buy tickets.

Interface

Find the Group Show options in your broadcast screen and set them as desired.

Groepshow menu

Don’t you sell the minimum? You can still start. If you don’t start, buyers will automatically get their tokens back.

Price & Expectations

Transparency to Viewers

The price viewers pay is higher than your token earnings; in many regions, VAT is added on top of that. Take this into account when setting your ticket price.

Regional differences (VAT/fees) are possible; viewers see a cost indication before purchase.

Quick Tips for Success

Tease & Announce

Use your Activity Feed to tease the show and mention time, duration, and highlights.

Clear Promise

Clearly describe what you are going to do. Clarity increases conversion.

Thank Buyers

Mention ticket buyers audibly/visibly and start on time to maintain trust.

Adding shows into your Calender

Let fans know when you go live: schedule your shows in your CAM4 calendar, gather followers, and increase the chance they’ll return.

Plan your shows with the CAM4 calendar

Fans can subscribe to your calendar via your profile and get a notification as soon as you go live. Easy to stay in touch, more returning viewers.

Tip: put themes, guests, and hashtags (#footfetish, #dominatrix) in your description for extra visibility.

Why planning works

Predictability

Fans know exactly when you’re live and can set a reminder.

More reach

Notifications to profile followers increase the chance they’ll return.

Flexible schedule

Plan up to 90 days in advance, a maximum of 5 shows per week.

How to schedule a show

Log in to CAM4 and open your Avatar in the top left → Calendar. You’ll see your calendar, how many fans receive updates, and the “NOW” option.

Open calendar
Calendar details

Then the screen opens where you can schedule your show. Fill in:

  • Date — first month, then day, then year.
  • Start time — when does your show start?
  • Duration — how long will you broadcast?
  • Description — pitch your show: what can fans expect (theme, guest, goal)?

Click “Schedule New Broadcast” to confirm your scheduled show.

Make your announcement stronger

What do you mention?

  • Show type (tease, games, group show, private focus).
  • Goals or Tip Menu highlights (e.g. 25/50/150 tokens).
  • Hashtags for discoverability (#cam4, #liveshow + niche).

Timing

  • Schedule shows at fixed times (rhythm = recognition).
  • Post a reminder in your Activity Feed the same day.
  • Afterwards: thank you post with highlight (build loyalty).

Pro tip: announce special shows (guest/theme) a few days in advance and pin the post to the top of your Feed.

How many tokens should I ask?

We’ll tell you all about that here!

Setting Prices on CAM4

Knowing what to charge is just as important as what your show looks like. Clear prices help your viewers, and your wallet.

Tip: set your goals in advance and stick to them for more confidence and tips.

How do I know what to charge?

Start with your desired income and work backward. This keeps it realistic and achievable.

1) Determine your minimum

What is the minimum you want to earn per month to cover your fixed costs?

2) Determine your “comfortable” goal

What feels good to live comfortably? Not too high, but challenging.

3) Divide over your broadcast time

Divide your goal by the number of shows/hours. This gives you your goal per show.

Make your goals small — micro-goals keep the excitement going and give viewers quick “wins.”

  • Example: Do you want 1000 tokens (~100 USD) per show? Split into 4 goals of 250 tokens.
  • Goal 1: 250 tokens = nude
  • Goal 2: 250 tokens = oil show
  • Goal 3: 250 tokens = playing with yourself
  • Goal 4: 250 tokens = cumming (only if you feel good about it)

Pro tip: stick to your goals. If you keep changing them, it seems like you’re hesitating, viewers notice that immediately.

Quick triggers that always work

Make small, direct actions easily accessible. This encourages more frequent tipping.

  • Tongue = 1 token (someone tips 1 token → you stick your tongue out briefly, playful and fun)
  • “Flash breasts” for a set number of tokens

Use your Tip Menu

Avoid “what does this cost?” questions. Your Tip Menu makes it clear what you offer and at what price. You can find it in the bar under your broadcast screen (also adjustable from a private broadcast).

Butt 25 tokens popular
Breasts 25 tokens
Vagina 50 tokens
Tongue 1 token
Oil Show 150 tokens
Private DM 20 tokens
Whisper name 10 tokens
Song request 15 tokens
Dance (1 min) 40 tokens
Change clothes 60 tokens
Grab toy 80 tokens

Do’s

  • Be crystal clear about your prices and what you offer.
  • Split your show into small goals for constant progress.
  • Thank tippers and mention achieved goals out loud.
  • Test, evaluate, and adjust your menu based on what works.

Pay attention

  • Don’t change your room goal until it is hit
  • Stay within your boundaries and within the platform rules.
  • Be consistent: Always complete the actions that are tipped for.

Important: Adhere to local laws and platform rules. Only 18+ broadcasters and consent is always required.
