According to Alexa rankings, it is one of the most popular sex webcam sites in the world.[3] LiveJasmin's infrastructure, developers and other staff are based in Hungary and, from 2013, Luxembourg.[3]

History

edit

LiveJasmin was founded in 2001 by György Gattyán in Hungary.[4][3] LiveJasmin built its infrastructure and generated content in the beginning by financing studios who were mostly operating illegally in Hungary at that time.[3]

In 2014, LiveJasmin started to advertise, producing a number of TV commercials. Two of their commercials were submitted to air during the 66th Primetime Emmys but were declined by CBS.[5]

Business model

edit

Customers, webcam models and third parties such as studios register with the website.[3] The payout percentage to the model ranges between 30% and 80% depending on the income of the model.[3] Most models are from Romania, Ukraine, Russia, the Philippines, South Africa, and Colombia, while most customers are from the United States and Germany.[3] In the Philippines, Eastern Europe, and Colombia, the models typically work for a studio that provides them with the necessary equipment and infrastructure and controls their work.[3][6]

In countries where sex webcamming is illegal, such as Uganda, the platform has studios and models assume legal risk.[3][7][8]
