CamBuilder, the whitelabeled site-builder powered by Streamate, is requiring additional information from their affiliates. Affiliates running whitelabeled sites through the platform are being notified through the dashboard. Here’s the announcement that Cambuilder affiliates are getting and the new documents that are required.
Announcement Made Via Big Red Banner
The announcement was made via a red banner reading:
URGENT: We require that you upload certain documents to verify your payee information. Failure to provide these documents may result in payments to you being put on hold. Visit the KYC information page for additional information or go directly to the Account Documents page to upload your documents.

Will Streamate Require KYC Documents In The future?
Being that Streamate and CamBuilder are owned by the same party, this raises the question of whether or not similar requirements will be required for Streamate models and studios in the future. The new requirements wouldn’t be that strict, as Streamate models already have an ID on file for 2257 Compliance. But if models aren’t able to cam until an uploaded utility bill is reviewed and accepted, that could definitely be inconvenient.
