Overview

Launched in 2012, BongaCams quickly grew into one of the most recognizable adult webcam sites available today. At one point, Bonga Cams became so big that it effortlessly merged with several other live sex websites. 

Today, BongaCams is popular both with viewers, who love the endless range of models and shows, and performers, who appreciate the activity of the users on BongaCams.com and relatively fair pay. When you are looking for your ideal adult cam website, BongaCams will always come up, but is it really as good as it claims to be? Find out from our detailed BongaCams review on SexCamRadar!

How It Works

Your user journey on BongaCams.com is not going to be particularly unusual, especially if you have visited other cam websites in the past, but there are still a few features you should know about. This is what you can prepare yourself for as a first-time BongaCams user.

Signing up at BongaCams

Bonga Cams does not pressure you into creating an account right away, but if you plan to buy tokens or interact with the site’s performers in any way, you will need to become a member of BongaCam. The sign-up form on the site is incredibly brief and you are not required to enter your email or birthdate to verify your age. There is an option to provide your email, but it is not mandatory. Enter your screen name, password and you are good to go.

Interface

You won’t find an intricate interface and lots of menu options on BongaCam, as everything you need is located right on the home page. As soon as you create your account, you can see all shows that are live on the site at this very moment. Using the menu on top of the page, you can switch between female, male, couples, trans performers, as well as new models on BongaCams.

There is a drop-down list of categories and a list of tags available, which means you can tailor your selection of models further. The categories include housewife, redhead, big butt, and others, while tags on BongaCam usually refer to the things you can find in live broadcasts: chatting, dancing, teasing, dreaming, etc.

Model profiles

BongaCams.com does not offer animated previews for its live broadcasts, so you’ll need to enter each chat room you are interested in to find out what is happening there. The chat rooms have a simple design with the video feed from the performer’s webcam on the left and the chat to the right from the video. On BongaCams, you can see how many viewers are also watching the same broadcast, and, given how high this number usually is, it’s easy to guess that models don’t have the time to communicate with free members.

Besides the options to tip the performer or invite her for a private show, you can review the girl’s profile, where she posts some information about herself, additional photos and videos, and her likes and dislikes in live shows. Finally, you can browse similar models if you are not satisfied with what you’re seeing.

Audience

The database of models on BongaCams is very impressive: the site does not disclose the overall number of its performers, but given that you can find over 1,000 models online any time you visit the site, we can assume there are more than 10,000 models signed up for Bonga Cams. There are even more performers during peak hours, so you will have even more beautiful girls to choose from.

After we at SexCamRadar.com took a detailed look at the models of BongaCams, we found that about half of them are from Russia and Eastern Europe. There are also some Western European and US models, while Latin and Asian models are clearly underrepresented on BongaCam.

Pricing

BongaCams offers a few options to enjoy the site for free, but you can soon grow tired of models ignoring you as a non-paying user — at least we did while working on our BongaCams review. Plus, you may want to experience a more exquisite private show instead of public ones, which are geared towards a wider audience. This is where you will need tokens.

Tokens on Bonga Cams can be spent on private shows, spy shows, and giving out tips in public or private shows. You can buy tokens in packages starting at 35 tokens for $2.99. With any token package, you also get a Gold membership for free. Then, as you spend more money on the site, your membership level increases. The highest possible membership is called Exclusive, but while it sounds prestigious, it doesn’t offer any real advantages compared to the Gold membership.

Safety

At Sex Cam Radar, we always pay close attention to the safety parameters of any webcam site, and we have to say we are pretty happy with what we saw on Bonga Cams. First, the site does not ask for too much of your personal information or your credit card number until you want to buy tokens. Second, there are numerous payment methods available, including the ones that help you maintain your anonymity.

There is an incredibly detailed safety guide on BongaCams.com, which explains different aspects of working with the site and ensuring your personal security. However, the safety feature we liked the most on BongaCams was the availability of several ways to contact customer support, including phone, email, and live chat.

Summary

Bonga Cams certainly has a lot of advantages, but it’s far from the most reputable or satisfying webcam site on the internet. The number and variety of models on BongaCams are impressive, but we were less impressed with its higher than average prices and the absence of mobile apps.
