"Chaturbate" is a portmanteau of "chat" and "masturbate". Viewers are allowed to watch for free (with the exception of Private Shows), but pay money in the form of "tips" in order to see certain sex acts performed.[3] The site itself earns revenues by taking roughly 40% of what performers make.[4] In addition Chaturbate generates revenue from the audience when they purchase tokens using their credit cards.[5]

As of November 2019, the site is ranked 22nd in the Alexa global rank and is the largest adult camming site competing with European BongaCams and LiveJasmin.[1] It is estimated that the site has about 4.1 million unique visitors each month.[6] Cam performers can earn money by being tipped with tokens.[7][8][9] Each Chaturbate token is worth $0.05 and a model needs to earn at least $50.00 to receive the payment.[10][11]
