Review of the GammaCash network
Posted on 2006-03-09 by Manzano
In a nutshell
- Most of the sites do not really hit their niche, or they hit, but the models simply aren't that hot.
- Average quality.
- Pricing: $24-$30 per month, depending on subscription duration. $3 for 2 days trial. Considering the missing updates, relatively small archives and poor porn-power I don't think you get much value for money here.
- Updates were posted 1-7 times / week on all sites until feb-28, but most seem to have stopped completely as of march 2006.
- They all make promises as to the update frequency that is mostly not kept (since feb). Further they pretend to know their niches, and claim better quality than they deliver.
- Simple, and works well on most sites, but some older sites has missing pages or just too many ads.
- Some sites that are still using an old design have too much upsell stuff on them that clutters up the screen. My only other complaint the way movies are downloaded. Site speed is good.
- These sites are dead for the most part, I'm guessing the entire network is experiencing economic problems and will shut down within long.
My opinion
The sites are all very alike, design and quality-wise. Apart from the ones listed above they do not have exclusive content. I think the way the Gamma network is handling things is that they buy content, and then they see which site they can pass it off to, so if a model looks asian, but could also be latin she will appear on several of the sites. The same goes for AdultMovieMax, but that one has almost all (or maybe all) of the content from the smaller sites that I will cover in this review, therefore it got it's own.
I think that way of handling new content, while definetely not optimal, is acceptable. -Or rather: it could be acceptable. The single largest problem as it appears to me is that they do not take the time to look at the content they buy before posting it. F.ex. there is a ladyboy video posted on at least three of the sites, and neither description or keywords in any way indicate that it is anything except a woman. They buy content, takes a quick look at it, writes a generic description and then posts it to whatever sites they think it belongs on. How they can miss a dick, I don't understand.
I'm almost sure that this network is going to close down very soon, one very strong indicator is the fact that most of the sites here haven't been updated since the end of february. Well, no wonder. -When there are so many untruths in the tours, how do they expect to survive? -I do feel kind of bad for some of the people who actually make an effort (like BrunoB) for being stuck with Gamma.
Basically all of the content on these sites is mediocre quality amateur video. They are fairly hardcore without being any type of bizarre. The girls are generally very average, although a few pretty ones always stick out.
Honestly I had a lot more respect for these sites before I got a user / pass and actually logged in to their members area. They have very well designed tours, and they make promises that sound great, but they very well know they aren't going to keep. I have this empty feeling inside that the people behind the Gamma network don't give a shit about members once they've paid their subscription.
The sites in this network all give you access to lots of off-site bonus material, some streaming videos, live cams, adult games and other feeds. You also get access to the networks shared picture-gallery that holds a shitload of content from many different niches. For the sites listed in this review the bonuses may actually have more value than the sites them-selves... And I don't mean to say that the bonuses are a goldmine!
I saw a few exclusive (I think) pictures on BlondesOfPorn, so it is possible that there are more on some of the sites.

Tech-stuff
Videos come in one average quality, WMV format. Resolution is 320x240 or 352x240 which is ok, but won't look too great in fullscreen. They are available for download or streaming. Movies are cut into 2-20 smaller clips depending on the total size which varies from 20-500 MB.
There are 4 thumbnails for each clip. Updates also has at least 20 full sized vid-caps attached, so you can preview the action before downloading.
I hate is the way downloadable movies are downloaded. I don't know how or why, but the links do not point directly to the files, but instead to some sort of script that redirects to the videos. That makes it impossible to use a download manager, which IMO is very useful for porn.
The non-exclusive picture-galleries have a lot (a lot!) of pictures, and they cover a wide range of niches. They are well-organised and good quality, but no way to download them is offered. -Other than one by one of course :)
Conclusion
The site AllAmateurMovies has most if not all of the content from these sites, and gives you a fair deal, so IMO that would be the best to join.
Beware if you visit these sites, they have one of the most annoying and aggressive console / popup systems I've ever seen... Expect to be bombarded with popups and have all open windows hi-jacked when you take the tour. There are of course no such annoyances once you're a member...
