What cam site words actually mean
You open a cam site and the screen is full of words nobody explains: tokens, private, spy, ticket show, tip menu. Each page here takes one of those words and answers two questions: what does it mean for you, and what will it cost.
Every answer points to the platform document that defines the term, with the date of that document and the date we read it. When no platform defines a term, the page says so instead of guessing.

Money and tokens
- Tip menu A list the performer posts of actions and the number of tokens each one costs, paid as a tip.
- Token refunds and chargebacks Rarely. Purchases are final on most platforms, unused tokens come back only under strict conditions, and a chargeback is treated as fraud.
- Tokens The currency of the site: you buy tokens in packages with real money, then spend them on tips and paid shows.
Show types
- Exclusive private A private show nobody else can spy on; platforms charge more for it and each one names it differently.
- Group show A paid show several viewers share, so each one pays less per minute than in a private.
- Private show A one to one show with a performer, billed by the minute in tokens, where you can type and on some sites talk.
- Spy show Paying to watch a private show someone else booked, with the image and sound but without joining the conversation.
- Ticket show A show you pay for once, at a fixed price, instead of by the minute; once it starts, only ticket holders can see it.
