Step aside! VIP coming through! So you wan’t to make it rain on your favourite Chaturbate cam girl. Make her cream her panties when she sees the sheer size of your tip…know what I’m saying?! If you’ve got questions about the Chaturbate Token system, we’ve got answers! Read on for our complete guide that will leave no pube untouched, completely clean shaven.
How Do Chaturbate Tokens Work
Chaturbate doesn’t allow you to directly send or receive US Dollars on their platform. Instead, they use Chaturbate tokens as a form of virtual currency. These tokens, sometimes referred to as Chaturbate coins, act in a very similar way to casino chips.
After creating your account, you can purchase Chaturbate tokens from your account using a variety of different methods such as credit card, wire transfer and cryptocurrency. Chaturbate tokens are not exchanged at a fixed rate with USD. The more tokens you purchase at one time the bigger “discount” you will get i.e. the average cost of each token will be lower. Also, different payment methods offer better exchange rates than others.
The advantage of using this system is probably two fold. The first, is that they can receive your money upfront. From a business point of view, it is much better to receive $100 today as opposed to receiving that same $100 over the course of a few days or weeks. The second, is from a psychological aspect, everyone knows the value of $100, what it can buy and how long you have to work to earn it. However, people don’t have that same emotional connection to tokens which allows you to spend them more freely as you can more easily forget how much they are worth.
You can spend these tokens in a number of different ways. The first is through a tip, you can send a tip to your favourite performer by clicking the green “Send Tip” button. You can then enter the tip amount as well as include an optional message. Most cam models will have a tip menu where they will perform an action for a specific tip amount. Others will have a Lovense tip menu, a Lovense is a vibrator toy that reacts to your tips, depending on your tip amount the toy will vibrate for a certain period of time and vibrating power.
If you are a big fan of a cam model you have the option of joining their fan club for a monthly fee. You will get priority fan status from being in their fan club, such as private messaging, a green name in their chat, anonymous tipping as well as access to exclusive content such as videos and photos.
Most models will have private photos and videos that can only be seen if you purchase them with tokens. Whilst these are usually available to fan club members you can also buy them on an individual basis.
You can also spend tokens on a private show. The token cost of a private show depends on the performer but they will cost either 6, 12, 18, 30, 60 or 90 tokens per minute.
How To Get Chaturbate Tokens
You can buy Chaturbate coins by clicking on the “Get More” link in the top right, which will lead to a pop up giving you the various payment and purchasing options. Read on for the different ways you can get Chaturbate tokens.
How Much Do Chaturbate Tokens Cost
You can purchase tokens through 3 different payment methods including credit/debit card, wire transfer and cryptocurrency. Each method gives a slightly different token cost.
Buying Tokens With Credit/Debit Card (Visa/Mastercard/Discover/American Express)
When using a credit or debit card it is always best to buy the largest token package possible as this will give the cheapest cost per Chaturbate token. If you purchase 550 tokens for $49.99 it will you a token cost of $0.0909.
| Number of Tokens | Total Cost | Effective Cost Per Token |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | $10.99 | $0.1099 |
| 200 | $20.99 | $0.105 |
| 400 | $39.99 | $0.01 |
| 550 | $49.99 | $0.0909 Best Value |
Buying Tokens With Wire Transfer
Purchasing tokens with wire trasnfer is much cheaper than using a credit card however it is not instantaneous like a credit card and sometimes we need tokens right this instant. The minimum purchase with a wire transfer is $250 and all purchases are credited at the same rate of $0.08 per token, considerably cheaper than by credit card.
For example if you do a wire transfer of $1,000 you will receive 12,500 tokens. You will need to email them at support@chaturbate.com for wire transfer instructions.
Buying Tokens With Cryptocurrency
Paying for tokens with cryptocurrency gives the best exchange rate. Chaturbate currently support the following cryptocurrencies:
- Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Dash (DASH)
- Decred (DCR)
- Digibyte (DGB)
- Dogecoin (DOGE)
- Ethereum Classic (ETC)
- Ethereum (ETH)
- Komodo (KMD)
- Lisk (LSK)
- Litecoin (LTC)
- MaidSafeCoin (MAID)
- Qtum (QTUM)
- Stratis (STRAT)
- Tether USD (USDT)
- Vertcoin (VTC)
- Verge (XVG)
The cost of each Chaturbate token when using cryptocurrency is approximately $0.08 i.e. the same as with a wire transfer. The benefit of using cryptocurrency is that it’s anonymous as well as being a lot faster. That means less time clicking the refresh button to see if they have received your funds and more time spent rewarding your favourite model for being a good girl.
Example: How Much is One Token on Chaturbate
Credit/Debit Card: $49.99/550 Tokens = $0.0909
Cryptocurrency/Wire Transfer: $0.08
Example: How Much Are 100 Tokens on Chaturbate in USD
Credit/Debit Card: 100 x $0.0909 = $9.09
Cryptocurrency/Wire Transfer: 100 x $0.08 = $8
Example: 1,000 Chaturbate Tokens to USD
Credit/Debit Card: 1,000 x $0.0909 = $90.90
Cryptocurrency/Wire Transfer: 1,000 x $0.08 = $80
Example: 10,000 Chaturbate Tokens to USD
Credit/Debit Card: 10,000 x $0.0909 = $909
Cryptocurrency/Wire Transfer: 10,000 x $0.08 = $800
Token Value: How Much Are Chaturbate Tokens Worth
You are probably thinking we already told you how much they are worth but actually the value of a token is a slightly different question. In fact, the value of a Chaturbate token is even different to a cam model/broadcaster when compared with its value to a member.
What Are Chaturbate Tokens Worth To a Cam Model
For each token a cam model receives they are able to exchange this for $0.05. If you want to calculate how much money you made from a stream in USD, you can do a very simple calculation:
Number of Tokens x $0.05 = Amount Earnt in USD
Example: 1,000 Tokens x $0.05 = $50
Example: 5,000 Tokens x $0.05 = $250
Example: 10,000 Tokens x $0.05 = $500
Still not sure how to calculate it? You can use our Chaturbate Token Converter which will help you convert your tokens into US Dollars.
Chaturbate Token Value To a Member
You might be thinking, I paid $0.08 for this token so that is its value. Technically that’s true but every cam site has a different token value but what can you actually get for that token?
In terms of private shows, a private show will cost, depending on the cam model, either 6, 12, 18, 30, 60 or 90 tokens per minute. In terms of USD that is between $0.48 per minute and $7.20 per minute, that’s a very big range but effectively you are still “only” receiving one minute of a private show.
| Token Cost Per Minute | $ Cost Per Minute |
|---|---|
| 6 tokens | $0.48 |
| 12 tokens | $0.96 |
| 18 tokens | $1.44 |
| 30 tokens | $2.4 |
| 60 tokens | $4.8 |
| 90 tokens | $7.2 |
How Much is a Tip on Chaturbate
Tip Menus, like private shows, vary from model to model. You can customise your tip amount to any value you wish; the minimum tip being 1 token on Chaturbate. This is enough to activate a cam girl’s Lovense sex toy usually for a few seconds on the very lowest setting. If you want the cam model or her sex toy to do something specific then you will have to tip the amount that is stated on their tip menu.
