The Cash Equivalent of Stripchat Tokens
Stripchat uses tokens instead of cash to pay for a private cam show, or tipping a performer for a job well done. Before entering any paid-for show you'll need to have stocked up on a wallet full of tokens.
If you're a webcam broadcaster, the site converts the value of the tokens you've earned in tips and in private shows into cold hard cash (minus their percentage) and transfers the money to your bank account or your chosen payment method.
How Much A Token Costs
The more tokens you buy in a package, the cheaper the cost per token becomes. Prices can vary slightly depending on where you're located and which payment method you're using. The following prices are based on a user in the U.S.A. purchasing tokens using a credit or debit card.
- 90 Tokens For $9.99
- 200 Tokens For $20.99
- 520 Tokens For $49.99
- 2340 Tokens For $199.99
If you want to purchase a bigger package, than what's available on the site, you can. And the larger the tokens package, the cheaper the per token price. All you have to do is email the site and they'll send you instructions on how to do this. Though, they will ask for additional identity verification, such as a driving license or passport.
How To Purchase Tokens
Stripchat offers a variety of payment methods. However, the price per token can vary based on the payment method. For example, if you're using PayPal, while the prices stay the same, the number of tokens you get in the package is slightly reduced. So, even if you see the $20.99 package advertised - watch out, as with PayPal you'll get 180 tokens instead of 200. If you choose the $49.99 bundle, instead of 520 tokens, you'll get 460.
Payment options the site accepts are:
- Credit/Debit/Prepaid Cards
- PayPal
- PaySafeCard
- Sofort
- Mobile Billing
- Gift Cards
- Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies
Not all options are available internationally.
What A Token Can Purchase
Tokens pay for tips or private shows. Many of the performers have a tip menu showing how many tokens are required, in a free open chat show, in order for them to carry out specific acts or to activate their vibrators. So, if you're looking for some ass spanking, titty flashing, or even to see the girl squirt, she'll have a set token price for each.
When it comes to private cam show, the minimum you'll need is 8 tokens/min, with some of the most expensive cam performers asking 150 tokens/min.
How Much A Model Receives
If you're a broadcaster on Stripchat, you'll receive around 50 - 55% of the value of the tokens you've earned. This is pretty much standard practice at most major cam sites. In fact, it's actually slightly higher than comparable freemium live video chat platforms.
Unlike other sites though, Stripchat makes sure the cam models get paid even if the tokens are freebies given by the site. In addition, if a user disputes a charge and the site credits back the tokens to the user, the model will still receive their percentage regardless of whether or not the site receives payment.
Conclusion
For webcam models, Stripchat is one of the higher paying freemium cam sites. And, when they transfer payment over to the broadcaster, they absorb any payment fees deducted by the processor, so the sum total you receive stays the same.
For users, buying a big block of tokens at one time as opposed to making regular small purchases is far more worthwhile. The more you buy, the cheaper the cost per token becomes.
