Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you start earning with Velvet Vice Models awaits here.

I’M NOT SURE I am confident enough to be a webcam model?

We understand that starting out in webcamming can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to do it alone. As your dedicated team, we’re here to support you every step of the way and help you build the confidence you deserve. Once you’ve passed verification, we’ll add you to a special WhatsApp group where you’ll connect with other models and an amazing admin team. We're all here to remind you just how beautiful and capable you are. You’ve got this!

What do I need to become a webcam model?

– A Bank account

– A device to work from e.g., Laptop, PC, phone or tablet

– A Valid form of photographic ID (this must be a passport if your nationality is not UK)

I don’t have a laptop, can I still webcam?

Absolutely! Many of our top models use their phones or tablets. While it’s easier to type with a keyboard, you can easily pair a Bluetooth keyboard with your device for added convenience. If you prefer, you can also speak to your clients using audio instead of typing. The most important thing is that you use whatever setup makes you feel comfortable and confident. You’ve got plenty of options!

Do I have to get naked on webcam?

No, you absolutely do not have to do anything you're not comfortable with. There’s a lot of stigma around webcam modelling, with some people wrongly assuming it’s all about getting naked. That is not the case. Yes, there are sexual elements to camming, but what you choose to do is entirely up to you and what you’re comfortable with. At Velvet Vice, we’re here to provide tips and tricks to help you tease, engage, and build genuine connections with your clients. You can absolutely make great money through creativity and setting your own boundaries.

What do most models “do” on Webcam?

As a webcam model, your role is to entertain clients via live video—how you choose to do that is entirely up to you. You’re in complete control, and you never have to do anything you’re not comfortable with. While nudity is often preferred, it’s absolutely not a requirement, and you’re fully within your rights to set boundaries, kick people out of chat, or ask for tips when you feel it’s appropriate. Models at our agency come from all walks of life and engage in different types of content, so there’s no judgment or obligation to share what you do online. Some models choose not to engage in sexual content at all, while others may explore more niche fetishes. We support and encourage any legal fantasies or fetishes our models feel comfortable with. Your comfort, your rules.

Can I webcam with a friend or partner?

Absolutely! If you want to set up a couples profile, we can create a separate one for you and verify the other person. Once that’s done, you can log in and manage it just like you would with your own personal profile. You’re also welcome to upload joint content to your private photo and video galleries on your solo profile. The great thing is you can run both your solo and couples profiles at the same time—so you’ve got the flexibility to do both!

Can I be anonymous?

In many ways, all of our models maintain a degree of anonymity by using a "stage name," which is different from their actual identity. This helps protect privacy and maintain a level of separation from their personal lives. Whether or not a model chooses to share their real name with clients is entirely up to them, but we strongly advise against it.

To further protect anonymity, we can tailor profiles to reduce the chance of being found online. For instance, we suggest uploading photos that focus on the body rather than showing the face, and adjusting location settings to obscure precise whereabouts. While the agency cannot guarantee complete invisibility, we take every measure to minimize the risk of being discovered or searchable online.

How much can I expect to earn?

Earnings can vary significantly based on a number of factors, such as your experience, confidence, popularity, how often you go online, your availability, the services you offer, and the rates you set. You’ll be paid on a per-minute basis, and as you gain more experience, you’ll have the flexibility to adjust your rates accordingly. It is totally up to you to set your prices.

How and when am I paid?

All payments are processed via bank transfer to your chosen account. We pay out every Tuesday, with the working week running from Monday to Monday. Your earnings from that week will be paid on the following Tuesday. The cut-off for earnings calculation is typically between 9 AM and 12 PM on Monday.

You can request your credits at any time, whenever you're ready to withdraw.

Do I have to work a certain number of hours?

You have complete flexibility when it comes to your working hours. There are no mandatory shifts or minimum work requirements. You can choose to work as little or as often as you like, based on what suits your schedule and preferences.

Do I have to go on “live” webcam?

No, you're not required to do live webcam shows if you’re not comfortable with it. While earnings from live shows may be higher, there are plenty of other ways to generate income, either alongside live streaming or instead of it. These include selling photos, videos, clothing, or toys.

It’s also worth mentioning that on the webcam platform, you have the option to just type. You don’t need to have your audio on if you don’t want to—many of our models choose to type only, unless audio is specifically requested by a client. This can also be a great way to build up credits, as typing tends to take a bit longer than speaking!

Do I have to look a certain way?

Absolutely not! At Velvet Vice, we believe that every body type is beautiful. There’s a client for everyone, and people have different preferences. This job is far more about personality than appearance. If clients were looking for a cookie-cutter "porn star" experience, they’d go watch free porn. What they’re really after is someone with personality, someone they can connect with and have fun talking to. It’s about offering real interaction, not just a performance.

Are there any hidden fees?

We are always transparent with our models. The platform we use takes a 20% site fee, which may seem like a lot, but it's actually one of the lowest around.

Additionally, we charge a 10% agency fee, which is again one of the lowest in the industry. Many agencies take 20-25%, which we believe is excessive.

The site and agency fees are deducted before your earnings are transferred to your bank account. This means that 1 credit is worth 70p after the fees are taken out. So, if you earn 100 credits, you'll receive £70 in your bank with all fees accounted for—there are no additional charges.

Do I have to pay tax?

We always advise our models to handle everything "by the books." However, it is your responsibility to declare your earnings to HMRC, as you are self-employed. We can provide guidance on how to approach this, including advice on expenses, accountants to use, and so on. But ultimately, it’s your responsibility to ensure that your income is declared and tax is paid, just like any other form of self-employment. We cannot take responsibility for any non-payment of tax

Is there a sign-up fee?

Not at all. Unlike many other agencies, signing up with us is completely free.

Can I leave at any time?

Yes, there is no contract tying you to us. We stand out from other agencies in this regard. If you ever decide to leave, we’ll release your profile as is, and any credits earned will be transferred to you once they’re received from the streaming site.

How are my personal details stored?

At our agency, we take data protection very seriously. All of our agents are GDPR-certified. We ensure that your personal details are stored securely, correctly, and with the utmost care.
