CAM4 is heating up July with its Sexy Summer Gifting Contest 2026, a two-week competition giving broadcasters the chance to win up to $500 in prizes.

The contest runs from July 13 to July 26, with prizes awarded to broadcasters who earn the most from gifts in CAM4’s “Sexy Summer” gifting category. Only gifts received from viewers during the contest period count toward the rankings.

CAM4 will award five global prizes, with first place receiving $500, followed by $300, $250, $150 and $100 for the remaining top spots. Regional prizes are also available, with winners receiving $100, $75 and $50.

To participate, broadcasters must be 2257 approved, sign up for the contest and receive eligible gifts from the Sexy Summer category. Model-to-model gifts do not count, and earnings must at least match the prize amount the broadcaster qualifies for.

Participants can only win one prize in the contest. If a broadcaster qualifies for a global prize, they will not also be eligible for a regional prize.

Only gifts received between July 13 and July 26 at 11:59 PM EST will be counted. Winners are expected to be awarded no later than July 28 at 11:59 PM EST.

The Sexy Summer Gifting Contest gives CAM4 broadcasters a seasonal opportunity to boost engagement, encourage themed gifting and compete for extra summer rewards.

Stripchat has introduced Viewer Mode, a new feature that lets models see their live stream exactly as viewers see it in real time.

The update works for both direct site broadcasts and streams sent through external software such as OBS. This means models no longer need a second device or extra guesswork to check how their show appears to the audience.

With Viewer mode, performers can quickly review stream quality, spot technical issues and adjust their setup while staying live. They can switch between Camera mode, which shows their own broadcast view, and Viewer mode, which shows the stream from the viewer’s perspective.

To use the feature, models need to start their live stream, go to the bottom left corner of the camera window and click the Viewer mode icon showing a person and a screen.

The new tool gives Stripchat models more control over their broadcast quality, especially when using OBS, helping them fine-tune their performance and deliver a smoother experience for viewers.

Amateur.tv is turning up the heat after dark with Kinky Nights 2026, a three-night themed event running from July 10 to July 12.

The event invites models to embrace a darker, bolder atmosphere with moonlight-inspired setups, low lighting, teasing performances, kink-themed shows and fantasy-driven room energy. The focus is on creativity, confidence and giving fans a night-time experience that feels playful, seductive and unforgettable.

Kinky Nights 2026 features a special ranking where the top 20 performers can win prizes. The more tips and engagement a model receives during the event, the higher she can climb in the ranking.

The top prize for first place is a Mini Sex Machine, while the next podium spots can win Lush toys. Even outside the top position, the contest gives models a chance to stand out, build excitement with their fans and turn themed shows into extra rewards.

To participate, models simply need to go live between July 10 and July 12, create an after-hours atmosphere, and bring their boldest energy to the camera.

With its mix of kink-inspired themes, ranking competition and interactive prizes, Kinky Nights 2026 gives Amateur.tv models a strong reason to make the weekend hotter, darker and more engaging.
