This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Imlive takes 70% of the money earned by the models and blames the models if traffic is slow and they are not making money because it could NOT be the sites fault. IMLIVE.COM is a shameless pimp exploiting women trying to make a living by having them as mobile content on cell phones and other media.

And yes you heard me right 70% goes to the site unless the model does what they refer to as free chat then they only take 65% of the money.

Which is slightly more generous but the stress the model has to go through with members begging to see ###, show tits etc. Does not really warrant the extra 5% IMLIVE generously allots the more out going models. Sad thing is most men think that their money is going to the model and when they find out IMLIVE is greedily pocketing it they are pissed.

The site claims to have the least chargebacks of any site. But as a veteran model I can tell you that is not true. Imlive is stealing from it's models. they claim that the least CB's Charge Backs of any adult website but they CB more than any other site I have seen.

And they do this rapidly. If a member has a show on Monday they can have a full refund by tuesday. I have never seen a financial instituion refund money that fast without any inquires as to the initiation of said charges but on IMLIVE.COM everyone is free to simply call their Credit card issuer and simply ask for their money back. When in fact Imlive knows there is no one to report them to keep them honest so they say it's a CB and pocket the money. Thus making the women of IMLIVE work for free. IMLIVE is so greedy that they have models do what is known as happy hour where a bunch of men get in the room with a webcam model and take turns commanding her to do sexual acts such as penetrate herself or strip etc all for 7 dollars that hour when the least they can make is 2 dollars a minute. When there may be 20 members in happy hour at a time. IMLIVE.COM does not care about their models or their members.

IMLIVE.COM IS A THIEF So if you know anyone that I can have investigate these practices please post it

This company is full of romance scammers. They scam people by luring them from dating apps using people pretending to be the models. They tell you they want to get to know you better but first you have to see their show. Then they get you to talk on telegram and then they tell you about their sick aunt. Babysitting. Phone is broken. Etc.Etc. The people talking to you are not the person you think it is.

Scammers include kittyfit, marinalorenzi, nicole19ryan, jessiesoulx, corinassecret. Many more here https://www.webcam-model-center.com/

If you are talking to any of these models you are being scammed.

I can confirm I am also a victim of the romance scam. In my case, nicole19ryan. I was approached on Tinder, the scammers took me to instagram and eventually to a private telegram channel. The only real connection with nicole is on the site in cam shows, the rest is scammer managed connections. The scammers bring the guests to her, and take a 70% cut of the money made. Nicole herself as a model is great, it's just sad she has resorted to this way of getting more business, she wasn't always that way. The script for the scam is always the same, helping out the aunt, broken phone, babysitter, etc.

This is just something people who have been scammed and not take responsibility then blame it to someone looks like, wake up and take on the responsibility, the site is up and running for many years now, many models still make a living out of the site

I recently had a conversation with someone on this site, and she offered me a cam show. She is attractive, and I found it hard to decline her offer because she was nice and open about her profession. However, she made it clear that she wasn't interested in meeting up, which I respected. Ultimately, I'm just looking for someone to chat with online.

Regardless of whether she truly is the model she claims to be, it doesn't really matter to me. What's important is that she provided support during a time when I needed someone to talk to.

Maybe you had high expectations for the person you chatted with, which might explain your disappointment. I think you also need to understand the nature of the online world and move on from this encounter. Just a friendly advise tho!

1000% a ripoff. Took my money, gave me no credits, useless customer support that was magically absent from the site the next day (?).

Doesn't respond to emails.

I used to be a top model for imlive and worked very hard for that top 120 position. until they closed my account for me wanting imlive to pay there models more. instead of 35% 30% or 20% during the corona virus crisis and/or to give the imlive models a split of the million dollars! instead of wanting to give 1 million to joe buck or other celebrities in my tweets on twitter. also, they have failed to mention on here! that they take 80% for bonus credits that they give and 50% off coupons! plus, you do not know this until after the private show! talk about a scam! so do not work for imlive!

Wow...a lot of haters on this page, to the hosts that post here, you're most probably damn lazy and think money falls from the sky, a bigger %, sure..., go setup your own thing and go live, see if you survive and manage to get traffic. It's incredible how much ignorance there is in this industry, people make comments without thinking of what they are writing. btw...I'm a VIP member on this site and a few moresites, the site has it's flaws like everyone else, but they have changed the life of thousands of models to the better, the hard working ones of course, not the lazy, boring looking "duhs"!
The ones who complain about studios, yes sure complain, go buy your own top notch equipment and try stream with a good Internet connection and no flaws whatsoever day after day.

It's great that they got rid of the chargebacks, but what about the webmaster earnings that are completely stolen, or that the veteran hosts are not showing up anymore.? Customers cannot even see their favorite models. They only show THEIR models on the site. THe customer service and whoever is running the site for the last 2 years or so needs to be completely fired and use veteran hosts and honest people to run the site efficiently. Whoever they have in customer service is so degrading to anyone with a brain and deletes anyone's comments who says something in honestly. I can say I feel like I hate them for ruining this site !

As a Studio Owner. Imlive has been caught on 5 occasions contacting my girls and stealing them to work DIRECTLY with the site! I urge all studio owners to stay away from this company! When confronted they shamelessly closed my studio account! I am still waiting to be paid and the models all working now directly and finding its not as easy as before! Imlive has favorites on the site who are always winning the prizes. They steal constantly earnings and say it was a glitch that the private is not showing in the earnings. The poor models work hard and as a studio owner its difficult to find staff to start with only for IMLIVE.COM to go and steal girls from the studio to work directly! Its a complete joke! STAY AWAY FROM IMLIVE.COM VERY POORLY RUN COMPANY AND DISGRACE!

Be wary of imlive.com! I feel they are very shady boring on criminal. When you close you account, they delete your profile, but what they do not tell you is all of your images and info remain on most of their "third party affiliates." Since there are so many, you have do do a big web search and find them all and then email imlive.com and ask them to handle it (and BTW most of those sites don't have a "contact us" feature, so you are trapped with going through the lame imlive.com staff ...) They respond that they will send a message to them and get back to you when the affiliate replies. Well so far, over a week ... no "reply" and the materials still up. Not only that, but they appear to give their safeties access to your "members only" images and info, and so then it becomes very "public" on the affiliates web pages.

To make matters worse, on tow sites that I was able to find a contact us email, I emailed them and guess who responded? the imlive.com support people - yet they denied having any control or ownership in this sites and that that they were not affiliates and to contact them directly - yet they, imlive.com answered the emails! One was http://www.adultporncams.com Deceptive. AND the material is still up there.

Throughout this process, you get various = different people responding to your issues - one even claiming to be a supervisor, and they do spout the name phrases and say how it will be handled, but it is not - and then they stop responding.

Be aware of these creeps! Don't sign up and don't post images in "members only" areas that you don;t want your mom to see on the public internet as they seem to find their way out there! While I am no fan of Jasmine, had no such issues with them. Found no "private" images shared with affiliates, and all Jasmine account related stuff seemed to be continued on their site.

As a customer I have just found that a model friend of mine has been paid $1.50 for happy hour. She had at least 20 guys in her room at all times so a conservative estimate of what she earned is $30+. but would have been 3 or 4 times that. She is furious and ready to leave as they took charge backs on her account last month as well. She can barely afford to eat let alone pay rent and has to walk miles to college as cant afford bus fare.

With me they didn't chargeback, they entered my freechat and started to be disrespectful and threatening. They said they want to give me a 100 USD fine because allegedly I behaved disrespectfully to them. So I resigned, which I suggest you girls do as well. They are nothing without the models, right? They should learn to respect us. This doesn't stop here, if I don't get my money from them, I press for legal charges.

Blocking a members IP will not stop that member from visiting your page unless they have a 'Static IP' address. Most likely they have a 'Dynamic IP' which means it will change whenever they reset their router. IM would need to block the ISP/host for you to be free of this stalker.

I also work at imlive as a model, I do fairly well, and luckily have never had really big CBs like some of the models. This pp there was a host with over $400 in cbs, however my biggest complaint about the site is that I have had a serious stalker for about 6ms now, comes in my fvc saying im a crack [censored], that i have given up my kids, that i should abort if i ever get prego again, that i do things to my father, that i kill kids, etc etc, i have sent pscreen after pscreen to customer service, and yet they do nothing. I mean they block him/her, but its a free member, so they just create a new account. And the last time it happend, I got back, we have blocked this member, but please note that ImLive does not block members IP addresses. I just dont get how we cant do certain things on the site, like talking about killing, or insest, etc, yet MEMBERS are able too, and nothing happens. I also know that this person is another host here, as they accidently logged in one day, under there acct name, so i searched the site to see what i would find. Now heres how I know for sure, its a host, when this all started, it was 2ppl every night that came in talking ###, saying the same things over and over again, then about 3ms ago, it became just one person. The name they used (acct name) is in girl on girl category.. I told this to cs, but they say they have no proof.. But for now, I deal with it, and hope that someday it will get better.

I agree. See I was a dancer for 19 years... The clubs are getting the pants sued off them. First of all taking 70% from girls, makes you a employee, I believe. Independent contractor 's are a sticky situation. When I joined Imlive I read it was 60/40. 60 for girl and 40 for website. I was OK with that. So I signed up... Never really payed attention to amounts till this week. When I noticed the math was really off. Called them and they were like oh no, it's 30/70. I was like are you out of your frigging mind.. WTF. Now I have to re look over the agreement contract... Because I will sue them for my money back... Plus they make you sit in free chat a 120 hours, before you can work with out dealing with ppl calling you ##### in god awful stuff. I wouldn't put up with it in a strip club, I would slap the man in the face, dump a drink on him. But I'm not sure how legal they are being. You truly can't actually charge back on services rendered... It's like going to a great restaurant eating well leaving and the next day charging back on it, lol the restaurant will take u to the cleaners, and get double amount back. Now I could understand if it was a stolen card... But that's not the girl.or any girl, that's Imlive responsibility... They take the cards and supply the money.. so there is a good possibility for a major international wage, war here... Cause they have to adhere to each countries laws they provide services for

I too work at imlive.com and have experienced these chargebacks among other things that I have to put up with on this site. When I complained about my last chargeback on our model forums my post was promptly deleted. And guess what? Directly after a chargeback showed up on my freekin earnings and it wasn't even from this payperiod! In fact I don't recall EVER having this guest in private chat. I have another chargeback incident that really blew my mind last pay period. There was a guest/member who entered my text chat. He said he was a host too, and wanted me to check out his profile etc so I did. Later he wanted to do a private show as well. I figured hey, if he wants to pay for a show hen cool. At least I know that as a fellow host he wont do a chargeback right? WRONG! A week later he did a chargeback on me and several other models. When I checked the our forums I noticed other models complaining about this particular guy who did a chargeback. I contacted customer service to report this host, and they sent me an email stating that they was looking into the matter and taking it serious. LIES! Today I logged on to the members side to check and see if his profile had been removed yet, and not only had he not been removed from the site for committing fraud but he was back online working in video chat! I reported this all to imlive and they simply do not give a F**k . They treat you like crap, ignore your concerns, take 65 to 70% of your cash, and are probably laughing at us while belittling us. All they are, are modern day cyber pimps.
