How the counting works

The three sources

Order of the list

1. 01Is the room broadcasting publicly right now? Everything else drops below it.
2. 02Does the profile resolve to a country? A located profile ranks above an unlocated one.
3. 03How many viewers are in the room, capped at 5,000 so a handful of huge rooms cannot own the page?
4. 04HD flag and a live-updating thumbnail add a small amount.
5. 05Finally the list alternates between the three sources, so page one is mixed rather than one platform's ranking.

What happens after a room closes

The feeds have no memory: a room that closes simply vanishes from them. Every sweep is therefore written down, which turns the sampling interval into measured broadcast history — hours on air, days seen, and the times of day a room is usually open. None of the three platforms publishes any of that.

A page survives 30 days past the last sighting and then goes for good. It is only submitted to search engines once it carries at least 2 h of observed air time across 2 separate days; below that it stays reachable but marked noindex. No image is ever stored here — an offline page shows the platform’s own avatar or nothing at all.

Where the inventory sits

The gap between 14,535 and 9,758 is profiles with no resolvable location. They appear in the worldwide list but in no country — stating that gap is more useful than closing it with a guess.

Questions about the method

Which platforms are queried?

Three: Chaturbate (8,640 profiles), Stripchat (4,728 profiles), BongaCams (1,167 profiles). Together 14,535 rooms broadcasting worldwide, as of 26 August 2026 at 23:56 UTC.

How is a country resolved?

First from the country field the platform publishes. Where that is empty, from the free-text location the broadcaster typed: country names in 36 languages, US states, Canadian provinces and about 300 major cities are matched, longest match first and scanning from the end of the string. 9,758 of 14,535 profiles (67%) resolve to one of 89 countries; the remaining 4,777 say "Wonderland", "Earth" or nothing.

Where does the language come from?

From the profile, never from the country. Stripchat publishes ISO codes, BongaCams a primary and secondary language, Chaturbate free text that is matched against language names in 32 languages plus short forms. 43 distinct languages are currently declared across the inventory.

How complete are the demographic facets?

Gender is published for every room. A stated age exists for 7,145 profiles (49%) — Stripchat publishes none. A self-declared ethnicity exists for 4,149 profiles (29%), from BongaCams' profile field or from self-set tags elsewhere. Nothing is inferred from images.

Why are there no star ratings and no per-minute prices in dollars or euros?

Because none of the three APIs delivers them. Only BongaCams names an entry price in tokens for private chat, and that is shown as tokens. Everything else would be an estimate presented as a fact, so it is absent.

Why do profiles disappear from the list?

All three APIs return only rooms broadcasting at the moment of the request. Close the room or switch to a private show and the profile leaves the list. The profile page itself stays: it switches to an offline state showing when the room was last on air and what we measured while it was.

What happens to a profile page when the room closes?

It keeps working for 30 days after the last sighting, with the broadcast history we recorded — hours on air, days seen, the times of day the room is usually open — plus who is live from the same country right now. After that the page is gone, because there is nothing left worth reading. The archive currently holds 16,581 profiles, 16,581 of them inside the window.

Where does the broadcast history come from?

From this directory's own sampling. Every couple of minutes all three platforms are queried, and whoever is on air is written down. That turns the sample interval into measured air time: 3,353 hours observed so far across the whole archive. No platform publishes a schedule or a history, so this number exists only because it was counted here.

Are all of those offline pages in the search index?

No. A profile page is only submitted once it has real history behind it — at least 2 h observed on air across at least 2 separate days. Everything below that threshold stays out of the sitemap and carries noindex. A room seen once for ten minutes would be a thin page, and with 15,000 live rooms churning there would be an enormous number of them.

Do you store pictures of the broadcasters?

No. Thumbnails and streams are hotlinked from the platforms and stop working when a room closes; the offline page falls back to the platform's own avatar where one exists. Saving a frame of our own would make this site a host of the imagery rather than a directory of it, with the record-keeping and takedown duties that follow.

How fresh are the numbers?

The worldwide inventory is cached for at most two minutes, profile pages for 30 seconds. Every page prints its own generation time at the bottom.

Does this site earn money from the streams?

Yes, through the platforms' affiliate programmes. It does not change the order: sorting runs on broadcast status, then a resolvable country, then viewer count capped at 5,000, and finally alternates between the three sources so no single platform owns page one. There are no paid placements.

Does the stream play on this site or on the platform?

Both, depending on the provider. Stripchat and BongaCams publish their video playlists openly, so the picture runs in this site's own player. Chaturbate publishes none, so its player is embedded. Chat, tipping and private shows always run on the platform.
