Yeah, folks, I betcha real tired of me, heh. Well, I'm here again for another porn review of another top webcam site. Amazin' I think that I've found yet another site to cast my critical xxx cam gaze over. Well, I have, and this delightful little site goes by the name of Bongacams.com, and no, I ain't makin' that up!

Now, the first thing you find if you type BongaCams.com into Google is that BongaCams.com has a net worth of $9.4 million, which I guess shows they're definitely getting somethin' right! It's very popular in the US of A, and has a staggering 4.3 million page views every darn day. Wowzer, although I kinda think it's not the pages that are being viewed, it's around 8 million titties! That should keep you goin' for a bit! For once, it's a real baby when it comes to these kind of sites, as it was registered in Panama in 2012. I guess it's still finding is feet, as there ain't that many models online as yet, although there should be enough to get you goin'. And speakin' of gettin' going ...

How I found the site

Hmm. Well, BongaCams is kinda retro lookin' for a new site, and certainly falls behind the likes of LiveJamsin.com and Webcams.com is the design side of things. If you ain't been to the site before you'll get a rather ominous pop up explainin' that this site is full of pornography, and legally, you have to over 18 to view there. Well, as I'm 18 two and a half times over that wasn't really a concern for yours truly. I can see why it is there though - the "thumbnails" menu view is glimpse of the live action, and some of the girls are gettin' up to stuff that no one under the age of 18 really wants to see. I'd only been there a couple of minutes before I was presented with a snapshot of a carrot being poked where no bunny is ever gonna want to nibble it. I guess this is one of the more raunchier adult sex chat sites. Now, just as you are pokin' your way around the site, an annoying pop-up pops up explainin' the advantages of becomin' a member of the site. You can tell it to go its own sweet merry way, but it'll be back two minutes later. As you can guess, this got pretty damned annoyin' pretty damned quick. The next pop up contained a random sex cam view - which just happened not to be to my personal tastes at all (a danglin' ball-sack). I was not impressed with this one sweet little bit.

Of course I like to determine the free experience at these kinds of sites before I think about joining. The menu along the top promised access to Females, Couples, Male, Transsexuals and New  Models. There was also something called "In Spy Mode" which kind of got me interested. I clicked on one of the cams listed under Spy Mode, but it just took me to a cam. That pop up was back, so I guess you can only remain free at MyBongaCams.com if you can put up with this pop up annoyin' the bejesus out of you every coupla minutes.

There was also a small list of categories on the left hand menu for extra handiness, and the latest winner of a competition they must have there for "Model of the Week". I found out by playing that you can switch the "cam" mode off in the menu and switch to thumbnail view if that's handier for you, and you can the re-size the cam views or thumbnails between small, medium and large, which I have to admit is kinda neat. You can also sort the list of models - the default view is most popular rooms, but you can switch to new models or models who have just logged on to the site. Additionally, if you're too dumb to have ever heard of YouPorn and the like, then you can pay to watch some videos of the models. Some of these videos were nice and cheap, so I guess if you find a xxx model you really pleases you, you won't mind paying to see a quick video of her getting dirty.

Special features

Not much I could see at the site I'd qualify as "special", unless you count the extra-special free annoyin' freakin' pop up window service. I had to admit defeat, which brought me neatly on to ...

Ease of registration

As you might imagine, as BongaCams.com seems pretty darn desperate for you to register, registerin' is pretty darn easy. All you have to do is click the "Join Now For Free" button in the top right hand corner, and simply fill in your email address ... and that is all. The site promises to send you an email within three minutes with your user name and password. The username you're given is pretty darn useless, and stupidly you can't change it although you can change your password. And you also get five free tokens for signing up.

Types of chat

There are five types of chat - Public Chat, Private Chat, Group Chat, Voyeur Chat and Full Private Chat. Public Chat is pretty ropey - you can't even enlarge the cam applet unless you're a Gold member, which you do by spendin' money. And you also get another pop ups every coupla minutes again "demanding" that you buy tokens. This tactic ain't winnin' any favours from me. Private is of course where you pay the model to perform for you, and costs a set fee of 30 tokens a minute. Group Chat is where you can ask other sex cam fans to join you in the show (you'll need at least three people) and costs 15 tokens a minute. Voyeur Chat costs 8 tokens a minute, and allows you to watch someone else's private show without them or the sex cam babe knowin' you're there. Full Private Chat costs even more and switches off the Voyeur Chat option for other members.

Video quality

The video quality is the first thing I really like about this BongaCams.com. The HD runs nice and smooth, and is pretty pixel-tastic.

Prices

Prices are set by BongaCams.com (see the prices above). You buy tokens at the following rates (Euros only):

Payment methods

Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, or Bitcoin. You can use Bank Wire Transfer for a minimum purchase of €50 for 455 tokens.

Number of models

Still early days for the site, so only around 2,500. About 180-200 models are online at any one time.

Customer support

There's a decent FAQ page, plus live chat, email and phone numbers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

✔ - The streamin' quality is pretty good
✔ - Transparent fees. No monthly sign up - just buy tokens, use tokens, buy more tokens ...
✔ - The site has some neat features, such as re-sizing the cams screen options on the menu page

Cons

✖ - POP UPS!!!! They really got annoyin' - you don't join, you get a pop-up telling you to. You don't buy tokens, you get a pop-up telling you to. Annoyin' with a capital A.
✖ - Not the biggest cam screen in the world

Conclusion

As you might have guessed, those pissin' pop-ups really got to me. What are Bongacams.com thinking? Do people really relent, sign up, and then buy tokens just because a pop up keeps poppin' up telling them to? I suppose if you're intent on payin' to see sex camgirls playin' then you're going to get rid of them, and it's only €1.99 to do so, but I'm kinda of the persuasion that just as many people are goin' to get as annoyed as I am with the pop-ups and pop-off themselves. Other than that, I can't find a lot wrong with BongaCams.com. The streamin' is pretty good, and I like the fact you're not expected to sign up for monthly fees like some other sites insist. Why not go over to Bongacams.com yourself - just try and avoid them freakin' pop ups!
