Understanding Party Chat and Gold Chat
These 2 types of shows are pretty confusing and there is no clear explanation found on the FAQ page regarding these shows. I’d like to suggest to the site to offer some quick explanation (yea yea, I know users may have gotten some mail update, but give me a break – no one reads these), but for now I will take this task upon me and give you a quick review on each.
Party Chat is really just a mode, which is part of free chat. It allows all users to see the list of other members who are on the chat room, as well as to see each other’s messages. This is I guess what makes it into a Party, but if you are shy and don’t like to be noticed, then maybe this is not the best option for you.
Any livecam model that offers this option is tagged by a yellow "Party Chat" sign. You can easily find all the performers that have this option by clicking on the Features link at the upper part of the video chat page and then pick Party Chat.
Gold Show is a special type of group show. Any member who wants to reserve a spot in the gold show needs to agree to send around 10-15 gold (around the same number in dollars) and when the goal is reached, the show begins. There are the 2 counters, one stating how much "gold" was raised (enough users need to contribute Gold for a show to begin) and a time countdown counter. If the goal is not reached by the end of the countdown, users are not charged.
The biggest advantage of the Gold show is cost: It goes for as low as $1 minute, which is cheaper than any other adult webcam show. The biggest disadvantage is the fact that you cannot rate it, so it's hard to assess which model offers good value for this deal price.
You can easily recognize a webcam model that offers a Gold show through the icon on her videochat picture, right on the main page.
Navigation
You can easily navigate through the site with ease using the main site categories:
- Home
- Search
- New Hosts
- Support
- Member Login
- Show Calendar
Finding a specific host or looking for a certain type of performer was fast and easy with the search options and navigation control available on Streamate. You can search under different type of criteria to find exactly what you are looking for, but keep in mind that there are hardly any options to look for very specific variables, so try and stick to the basic ones. Here are the 3 main search options offered by
- Category Search – Choose the video chat room category that interests you and click
- Sort – Which I found was the most useful tool of all, because you can narrow down the live cam results until you are left with what you really want to see, and you don’t even need ot conduct an advanced search for it, you just click
- Free Search Box – Just type in any word, model’s nickname or phrase
A lot of cammers are also interested in chatting with new performers, reasonably assuming that such models will be more enthusiastic and will have more enjoyable as well as less expensive live shows. Different adult webcam sites have different methods of directing users to new hosts and on Streamate you can find them by clicking on the New Models link at the top of each page.

Streamate White Labels
Recently we have been approached by several users that wondered why we do not review some well-known webcam sites. Since many of the adult webcam sites in question are basically white-labels of Streamate.com, we decided to clarify this topic once and for all.
Streamate is quite unique in the live cam industry because it offers quite a few white-label websites. By �White Label� we mean additional live cam sites that are almost identical to Streamate.com. They have exactly the same chat rooms and hosts, but run under another name and with their own design. There is no difference between the sites other than the layout and URL. In fact any payment you make on any of these websites will appear in your billing under Streamate.com.
Since the white label Streamate sites are identical, there is really no reason to review them separately. However, since some of these white labels are pretty successful, we decided to list them here for you to know.

Pros:
A very unique feature which I found to be beneficial and enjoyable was the Similar Host feature. When you enter a performer’s profile page to read about her or to start a live webcam chat with her the website shows you 4 other similar hosts to the one you are chatting with on the right hand side of the screen and even give you a link to view more if you like. So if you are only interested in a specific type of women, you don’t even need to go back to search you can just pick from the list already in front of you. This feature saves you time and hassle and gives you more opportunity to spend time chatting with hosts.
Cons:
The site doesn’t have as many special features as some of the other sites which doesn’t take away from the quality of the hosts but it would have been nice to have some more options for special discount rates and interesting promotions. It always makes visiting a cam chat site a little bit more fun when there are fun contests or short-time-only promos going on.
Bottom Line:
Streamate.com has a very wide selection of hosts in numerous categories, which are easy to locate thanks to simple and easy-to-read navigating tools on the site. Hosts are friendly and energetic and always give top quality shows. Plus the HD quality cams that most of the performs have on the site make watching a live chat here a very pleasurable experience. I found the site to be worthwhile and not too steep with the prices.
