Becoming a CCcam reseller: how the credit model works

Published

What reselling CCcam and OScam lines actually involves: how credits work, what you do day to day, how to price your own lines, and who it is genuinely worth it for.

Buyer's guide

Reselling CCcam and OScam lines is simpler than most people expect, and the model is worth understanding before you decide whether it suits you. There is no application, no monthly commitment and no minimum volume. You hold a credit balance, and you spend credits when you create or renew a line. That is essentially the whole system.

How credits work

You top up your balance at secure checkout, and the credits land on your account straight away. Creating a line for a customer spends credits according to how long that line runs. Renewing spends credits the same way, in one click, with no waiting for anyone to approve it.

Two consequences worth noticing. Credits do not expire into thin air, so a balance you do not use this month is still there next month. And because every top up and every line is recorded, your full history is visible in the panel, which matters when a customer asks when their line was last renewed and you would rather not guess.

What you actually do day to day

Less than people imagine. Pick a duration, click create, and your customer has their login by email within a minute. Renewals are a click. That is the bulk of it.

The work that is not automated is the part you would expect: answering the person whose box will not connect. Most of those questions are the same handful every time, which is why it helps to have somewhere to point people rather than explaining from scratch. A dead line is nearly always one of five causes, and the setup itself is a five minute job on any Enigma2 receiver.

Pricing your own lines

You set your prices and you keep the difference. What that difference should be is up to your market, but a few things are worth thinking about before you pick a number.

What you are responsible for

Being straight about this matters more than the sales pitch. You own the customer relationship, which cuts both ways: nobody contacts them but you, and nobody handles their problems but you either. If we have to block a line for misuse you cannot lift that from your panel, and the right move is to write to us rather than assume it is a fault. The hierarchy is deliberately flat, so there are no sub-resellers beneath you to manage and no layers between you and us.

Who it is actually for

Reselling works when you already have demand. If you fit dishes, run a repair shop, or are simply the person friends ask when their box stops working, you have customers already and the margin is close to free money on work you were doing anyway.

It works much less well as a way to find customers from nothing. The lines are the easy part. Selling is the hard part, and no panel helps with that. If you are mainly after a line for yourself and a couple of relatives, a direct line with a room each is simpler and cheaper than running an account, and the comparison of both paths goes into where the line between them falls.

Look before you top up

Signing up costs nothing, so the sensible order is to create the account, look at the panel, and only then decide whether to put credits on it. The reseller page has the steps, and a free 3-day trial is still the fastest way to satisfy yourself the lines are worth reselling in the first place.

Frequently asked questions

How does a CCcam reseller account work? +

You sign up, top up a credit balance, and spend credits creating lines. Each line costs credits according to how long it runs, and renewing an existing line costs credits the same way. There is no monthly fee and no minimum, so an idle balance simply sits there until you use it.

What do I need to start? +

An email address and a credit balance. There is no application to be approved and no paperwork. Signing up is free, so you can look at the panel before deciding whether to top up.

Do I set my own prices? +

Yes. What you charge your customers is entirely yours, and so is the relationship. We do not see or contact them.

Is reselling worth it? +

It depends on whether you already have demand. If people around you already ask you to set up their boxes, the margin is real and the work is small. If you are starting from no customers, expect the selling to be the hard part, not the lines.
