BongaCams is an adult website based in the Netherlands providing live webcam performances by webcam models, camboys and couples typically featuring nudity and sexual activity ranging from striptease and erotic talk to masturbation with sex toys. All visitors are able to join general chat rooms, while models can earn money in private shows and by getting tips from registered users. BongaCams was one of the first top websites to implement HTTPS security.[2][3] It is one of the largest adult camming websites in Europe, competing with American website Chaturbate.

BongaCash affiliate program and BongaModels model website are also part of BongaCams network.
