Before anything else

Don't send money, gift cards, crypto or bank details to anyone outside the platform, whoever they say they are. Here's why.

1. Is the site real?

  • I typed the address myself, or used a bookmark or a guide I trust. Not a pop-up, an email or a text.
  • The address is spelled right and starts with https://, with a padlock in the browser bar.
  • There’s a company name, terms of service and a privacy policy linked at the bottom.
  • There’s a 2257 notice, which means performers’ ages are checked.

2. Is my account secure?

  • I’m using a separate email address, just for this.
  • My username gives nothing away. No name, no birth year, no hometown.
  • My password isn’t used anywhere else.
  • Two-factor authentication is on, if the site has it.

3. Is the payment under control?

  • I’m buying the smallest pack.
  • Nothing is ticked at checkout that I didn’t tick. No membership, no auto-refill.
  • I’m paying with a discreet method I’m happy with.
  • I’ve written down the billing name shown at checkout.

4. Is my device private?

  • I’m in a private window, or my own browser profile.
  • I’ve blocked notifications from this site, and I haven’t saved the password on a shared device.

5. Have I set a budget?

  • I know how much I’ll spend this month, and I’ll stop when I get there.

After you’ve paid

  • Look at your banking app the next day, and again when the charge goes through.
  • Keep the receipt email.
  • If something looks wrong, go to the site’s support first. See refunds and chargebacks.

Everything ticked? Then you’re ready. Take your time and enjoy it.
