RusCams.com sex video chat review

A bit of history

RusCams - "the N1 sex video chat of the Russian internet", as it positions itself, is one of the two sex video chats still left on the Russian internet today. It started at the beginning of 2008 together with a whole crowd of other projects, yet most of the ones it started out with are already gone, and so are many others that showed up later. What allowed this particular video chat to stay afloat? I'd say the professionalism of the team and serious investments, which resulted in a consistently large choice of online models and a steady stream of visitors.

Choice of girls

At any time of day, more than fifty online models are available for chatting on the RusCams sex video chat. From roughly 4 pm Moscow time the number of online models grows considerably and the choice becomes simply fabulous (more than 100 girls online is not a rarity). Wandering around the rooms you can find both traditionally beautiful girls (SexyVivaXXX,  MySexLife) and girls with unusual looks (punkGirl), both girls with mind-blowing curves and very heavy ones, both flat ones and ones with an appetizing bust (SexyAnfisa, SexyBusty), and, of course, clever ones and not so clever ones. In short, it's all just like in ordinary life — everyone will find a girl to their taste, colour and... and other characteristics. It's worth noting that a model on RusCams can be not only a girl, but also a man or a F+F couple (SHECHKA, morenas4u). Searching for a suitable model raises no questions — everything is simple, clear and comes with easy-to-follow explanations. Using the site's main menu you can quickly pick all the models who are online, look at every available girl in general, or see the very best ones.

Behind the «Top» menu item hide the best models of the week. Nowhere is it written how the top models are chosen, so all that's left is to believe that the RusCams sex video chat is objective in this matter and that we really are looking at the site's hardest working girls. On the front page you can also observe the «Best model of the day». How is she determined? Also unclear. By the way, at least once a man became both the best model of the day and the best model of the week. :)

Any online model of the RusCams sex video chat can be in one of three states: free chat, spy mode or private.

The video stream of the girls on the RusCams sex video chat is mostly of good quality, but with many models the broadcast comes through in jerks. I also got the impression that the majority of the girls work from studios.

Sometimes, when you try to enter a model's chat or look at her profile, you may see the message "Access restricted by the model". That means the girl has, for some personal reasons, restricted access for users from a specific country or region.

What can you see?

Let's start with what you cannot see. Visiting the RusCams sex video chat, you will never see porn. Yes, yes. That's what is announced everywhere: «no porn, only erotica». However, for some reason the owners of the resource understand «porn» to mean exclusively a sexual act M+F or M+M. A girl in close-up is furiously poking a dildo into another girl's wet pussy, then licks the toy and puts it into her own butt. Porn? No! Tender erotica. :) In the footer of the front page it even says «according to the conclusion of an art expert examination, all materials presented on this site are erotica...». Poor art experts! :)

In the free chat models are forbidden to be naked. In most cases the girls sit in free fully dressed and simply chat with the visitors. Many use beautiful and revealing lingerie as their clothing. Some are dressed in semi-transparent underwear, and it's not only the bra that happens to be semi-transparent. :)

It happens that girls change clothes in free. I remember one time a girl in a transparent bra and equally transparent panties changed live on air. First she pointed the camera at her spread legs in such a way that her breasts went out of the camera's field of view and slowly took off the semi-transparent bra and put on another one. All that time the visitors of the room were admiring a delightful pussy through transparent panties. Then, in the same manner, the mistress of the room changed the lower part of her outfit, though by then there was nothing left to look at, since the new bra turned out to be completely opaque. :(

Some models deliberately break the rules and, as if by accident or as if not by accident, expose the exciting parts of their body. I personally watched a sexy girl caress her big beautiful breasts for about three minutes. Most of the time she barely covered her nipples, from time to time removing her hands and caressing the whole breast. Right before going into spy mode she started pinching her nipples, sometimes pulling them forward, which made them get bigger and harder.

I couldn't find any rules of conduct for spy mode, it's only said that getting naked is allowed. Online models get naked in spy mode a lot and with taste. You can see girls simply sitting topless, and girls caressing themselves with their hands in various poses, and girls actively playing with a wet pussy using intricate sex toys. Quite often you can watch a girl's pussy in close-up. Although there are also models who just chat while dressed. And the higher the price of the spy mode, the higher the probability of seeing exactly that picture.

In private you can ask a girl for anything at all (except, naturally, porn :). The girls will fulfil all your fantasies and whims. Obviously, the higher the price of the private, the better the performance. If your fantasies differ a lot from the generally accepted ones, it is highly recommended to agree in advance with the online model on whether she is able to fulfil them. Then, if she refuses to fulfil your whims in private, you can count on getting your spent money back. In private the cam2cam mode is available completely free of charge. That is, you can turn on your own camera and microphone and the model will see and hear all of it. Sometimes that's a lot of fun. :) If the private lasts more than five minutes, at the end of it you are offered to leave a review of the model.

Money

The sex video chat lets the models set the price for spy mode themselves, in the range from 1 credit per minute up to 3.8. Billing is per second, but you are always charged for no less than 15 seconds. So don't repeat my mistake: if you have entered spy mode and it's «horror, horror!» in there, don't rush to leave, because you have already paid for 15 seconds of that performance.

The price of a private is also set by the model, from 3.8 to 7.5 credits per minute. Just like with spy mode, billing is per second with a minimum charge of 15 seconds.

At the moment, buying credits with webmoney, you can count on 39 credits for 500 WMR. With some simple arithmetic we get that spy mode costs 13-49 WMR per minute, and a private 49-96 WMR. You can top up your balance in a great many ways:  webmoney, yandex.money, money.mail, SMS, credit card. A quick look showed that direct deposit is implemented only via webmoney, in all other cases third-party payment systems are used, which increases the price of one credit.

What I liked is that the sex video chat lets you look at a detailed report on where the money you deposited earlier has gone. You can do that in «Payment/Transaction history/Payments to models». Very convenient.

You have to keep in mind that «if a client has not spent a single credit within 2 weeks (not counting private messages to models), and the client's account has credits on it, then in that case once every two weeks 1 credit is deducted from the client for the use of the site.» This outrage is called «account maintenance fee».

How to earn money on RusCams.com?

The most obvious way is to become a model. In that case you receive 60% of all the money a user spends on you.

If, however, you are far from the idea of fulfilling visitors' whims on a daily basis, you can register in the affiliate program for free and receive 20% of the credits spent by a client you referred, or 5% of the income of a partner you referred.

Well, and if for you a sex video chat is a place you come to not to earn money but to get maximum pleasure for your money, then you can save a bit by using the bonuses on offer. There are 2 kinds of bonuses:

• «1. VIP bonus. A user who has bought more than 500 credits over the last 30 days becomes a VIP user. Every time he buys credits, a VIP user receives free credits amounting to 5% of the credits bought over the previous 24 hours.
• 2. The "Top purchases" bonus. Every day the clients who bought the largest number of credits during the day receive an additional bonus. 5 prizes, from 75 to 25 credits (75, 50 and 25 credits).»

How the chat works

The chat interface is, on the whole, simple and convenient. The only confusing thing is that the purpose of those icons whose images aren't labelled can only be figured out by poking at them. That's how, for example, it turned out that there are three shapes of the video window. The usual one, available right away when you enter a model's room. One with an enlarged (about four times) image. And full-screen mode. Since very few of the girls have really good cameras, full-screen mode doesn't look very appetizing (although a lot depends on the screen, of course).

A peculiarity is that it's impossible to find out which users are in the room at the same time as you, and how many people are in the room at all. In the chat you can, for a small fee, send a private message to the model which only she sees, but, surprisingly, the model answers in the public chat. Because of that an interesting situation arises, where the model answers some strange questions asked by who knows whom.

Some girls use a microphone in the free chat or in spy mode and answer part of the questions with their voice. For a person who has neither speakers nor headphones this looks a bit strange: a question from a user appears in the chat, the model moves her lips, the next question appears, lip movement again, and so on. An interesting conversation passes you by. So having sound is highly recommended.

The Ruscams sex video chat allows even unregistered users to enter the free chat and talk with the online models. In that case the visitor is given a nick like guest123. Obviously, models are not very eager to talk with unregistered guests, they can even forbid such users to leave messages in their room. After some time the system will forbid you to enter chats as a guest and will suggest that you register for free.

Chat modes

A model's chat can be in one of the following modes:

• Free chat. To enter the free videochat, on the "Online" page click on the photo of the model whose video you want to see. Models can turn the free videochat option off at their own discretion, but for most models on the site the free videochat mode is available.
• "Spy" — you watch models broadcasting their video in paid mode, or you watch somebody else's private.
• Private conversation — you talk with the model one on one, and you can also ask the model to put on a show for you.

The model's current state is shown in the top right corner of the model's card. A green arrow — free chat, a black keyhole — spy mode, an orange eye — private.

The model's profile

Most girls have their «profile data» fully filled in, an «About me» field filled in at least minimally, and a couple or three photos. As far as I understood, the photos open to the public are the ones that could be described as «erotic». Anything harder is only for visitors with a balance of more than 20 dollars. Although «hot» pictures do turn up in the public area and on avatars as well (SICILY, Masichka, Mellannie).

For some reason I didn't find the breast size, which interests the greater part of humankind, in the profile data. Consequently, you also can't search by that parameter. What you do get is hair colour and length, which can change regularly.

If you have more than 5 credits on your account, you can send the model an SMS from her profile, and if you have more than 50 credits, the option of sending a message through the internal mail appears. Some models have a «chat archive» available from their profile, some don't. I couldn't find any pattern. In the archive you can look at the history of the conversation between users and the model in the public chat. A funny feature.

In the profile you can also see user reviews of the model. You are offered to leave a review after every private, if it lasted more than 5 minutes. You can pick one of the fixed review options from the list offered. In the model's profile the text of the review is shown along with how many clients chose exactly that review.

The profile has «My rating», measured in stars. What is it and where does it come from? There is no information at all.

Conclusions

The motto «the N1 sex video chat of the Russian internet» fully corresponds to reality. RusCams gives its users a huge choice of models, a convenient interface for communication, a rich set of ways to top up the account, and round-the-clock support. The only thing I'd advise this sex video chat is to be more friendly towards its users.

Interesting facts, features, bugs

• The owner of the leader of the Russian webcam scene turned out to be a British company.
• In the user agreement of the leader of the Russian webcam scene, run by a British company, we found the phrase «If you are a resident of the state of California...». I wonder, is that the state of California which is in the Russian Federation, or the one in the United Kingdom of Great Britain? :)
• The Ruscams sex video chat provides round-the-clock support for its visitors.
• On the front page of the site, where it is claimed that there is «no porn», out of roughly 350 words of meaningful text the word «porn» occurs 15 times.
• All prices on the site are given in credits, yet private photos are «available for clients with an account from $20» and to register on the forum «you must have no less than $10 on your account!». Why dollars and not credits? At what exchange rate? Not clear.
• In the description of the bonuses it says «5 prizes, from 75 to 25 credits» and right there in brackets only 3 are listed: "(75, 50 and 25 credits)". Possibly the point is that some amount is paid out to several winners, but this is nowhere clarified.
• A user can turn on login protection by IP. In that case it will be impossible to log into the account on the site from another computer (and also if your IP has changed).
• Most models have no more than 10 client reviews, while the model «BagiraBelaja» has as many as 1334. That number doesn't even fit into the little circle allotted to it.
• If from the normal chat mode you switch to widescreen or full-screen, and then go back to normal mode, the words LiveCamDates get overlaid on top of the RusCams.com caption above the text chat.
• The Anti-spam policy page has the heading «Refund conditions».
