I am not confident the woman are real and though I have my have my doubts on this being a chatbot farm for money. I have not yet the ample chance to have anyone pass the Turing test, of which I am an amazingly skilled critic. Amazing as the skill surprised me. Anyhow, if you would like a glowing review and many happy comments you keep my prices reasonable and have real women. I am skilled in AI and have been working as a dev-op in the field for years. Maybe your company could use help in this department in exchange for a modest amount of credits at first and if it is mutually beneficial, some type of pay arrangement.
The fact that it's called a Dating Site is nothing more than a fiction. You register here, but you are not in the search engine for other users! My girlfriend registered at the same time with me, she launched a search for our country in my age category, and I was not in her search results, although there were only 3 people in the entire country. Who sees you then? All those fake profiles whose goal is to draw you into the paid chat. The site is notorious for using fake female profiles. These profiles look suspiciously realistic because they've likely been scraped off social media sites. But, behind all these profiles, hides an army of paid employees who're used for one purpose - to extract money from you. No girl wanted to talk for free. No girl wanted to meet in real life. Once I tried to get a girl's contact information to chat on Skype or WhatsApp, or Telegram - the magic ended, revealing the true scam behind this site. I was registered on this site for almost a month - for each registration the site gives a complimentary of 30 credits, so I signed up to a new account every time to understand how it works. There is an algorithm that recognizes when a client gets online, and he automatically starts to receive messages and likes from accounts of different «girls». The messages received from them are usually in frivolous and vulgar style, or simply questions from a bank of topics prepared in advance. When the client joins the dialogue, the «girl» on the other side actively takes the initiative, ending every remark with a question, which the client must answer again. If the client disconnects and no longer responds, then auto-generated messaging (probably sent massively to different accounts) is turned on, and at certain intervals client receives reminders from the same "girl" with an attempt to draw him back into the chat. One more well developed mechanism is sending of intimate photos to the client's mailbox after the client's first replies - in files that are unpacked for credits, as well as sending voice messages - listening to them is also for credits. The whole mechanism is aimed at making money through fraud - this must be dealt with by the relevant authorities.
Site is mostly fake profiles like 90% of them are fake profiles. Using photos from other dating websites girls are, or have been registered on in the past. I have multiple evidences that show people have no idea who I am. When we have spoken in the past on other sites. This is the most dead end dating website of all of them
Terrible, underhanded and deceitful site

Dear Rodney,
There are many good-looking members on the platform. Living in the social media age, you can't always tell where it is a natural beauty and where it is great make-up, light and professionally taken photos. It is only natural for every member to try to present himself/herself in the best way possible.
When people make their decisions to initiate a conversation based on the information and pictures in a profile, looks are everything! Therefore, our members sometimes hire professional photographers to have the best pictures in their profiles.
We are building a secure platform where we try to make sure the person on the other side of the screen is real. To do so, we have arranged communication with Regional Partners worldwide so they could assist with the registration of the members from their countries. Passing the verification in person is more trustworthy since the member will be interviewed eye to eye.
We will be glad to assist you in case of any additional questions. Please contact us via support@bravodate.com if any assistance is needed.
Respectfully,
Bravodate Customer Support

It took me about 5 minutes to be overwhelmed by the vast quantity of gorgeous women from all locations in the world once I logged in. Then these women started to message me out of the blue,...dream world stuff, spend money to buy credits to chat to impersonators of profiles that were bought by this company. Spend time to read their: Terms of Use & Service, d. Trusted Members. Suppliers = women, computer algorithm, To engage new Members to register on BravoDate, we purchase services from various third-party service providers ("Suppliers"). BravoDate is not responsible for the quality of Suppliers' services, the willful or negligent acts and/or omissions of any Supplier.
"Automatic Top Up," just continue to take your money for your entertainment dreams. Just leave this place as quickly as you can.
Also the women never talk about the of the current war with Russia: bombs,water, food, electricity.
Tip for consumers:
Stay away, or run away once you recognize the scam for what it is.

Joined on a whim, was bored. They tease you one price for credits then almost double for the renewals. Profiles are gorgeous. Too gorgeous. No texture on the skin in pictures. Perfect complexions. No laugh lines on 45yo women.
The locations are dubious if they say United States. Two said they were in my hometown but couldn't answer a simple question about the city. An answer that everyone who had been there knows.
Others in towns that are under siege in the current war. All over the Ukrainian news that there is no power or internet in those towns. But they are chatting up a storm.
Fun to poke around. Only wasted $3.
Tip for consumers:
Don't.

Dear Mike,
Thank you for your truthful review.
Let me please inform you that we have a fixed price for the credits that differs only from the very first purchase on the website.
Also, please note that members who are supplied by the regional partners support in make-up and hiring a professional photographer look naturally beautiful. And it is great that the members spend a lot of time and effort to receive such incredible photos which they can be proud of on the website.
If you wish us to investigate the situation with the US places knowledge please let us know more details via support@bravodate.com
In addition, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that some of the cities that are cut off electricity in Ukraine may have access to Starlink that was officially approved by Elon Mask to extend the abilities for the Internet in dead-end places in Ukraine.

Setting a time limit for credits as well as charging credits to txt. This makes it very difficult to make any genuine connections or develop a relationship with someone. I feel like its a disadvantage for the women on the other end. They will not get to fully get the proper information of the men they are speaking with. If someone is genuine then the conversation will develop, however iv had several spam/fake accounts and msgs contact me and i havent even had an account a full day. There needs to be some sort of verification on both ends, thank you.

If you do not find this specific feature suitable for you, it is possible to continue communication in the mail section as an alternative, thus you can compose large letters to communicate with your friends without spending credits per minute. It is true that you need to have enough credits to use some of the services, however, you only pay for the services you are provided with. You get to choose the services that are of your interest and control your spendings on those.

Too expensive to send one message. It is Highway Robbery in it lowest of form, by playing upon ones need to feel loved. You use these girls to drag things on and on until more money is payed. I feel for the girls, but if you are in a company role, you are scum. How dare you take peoples hard earned money by training women to prolong an outcome that will never be. I plan on filing reviews on google, trust pilot, BBB, and what you will regret, my 300k strong podcast.
To tell every single one of my 300k listeners, a faithful base of at least 175k, exactly how you take money by the SINGLE MESSAGE, only to lead desperate lonely soles down a lonely financial black hole and no date in site. I hope you feel the pain from my listeners because I know it will reach some poor souls that were ready to fall into your trap but no, karma is real if you are tasked with reading this by the way.

Dear Erik,

We would like to inform you, that as a platform for communication, we decided to make a bigger accent on members' personal qualities. You can always ask your friend about the details you are interested in and find out the actual information. As for now, you can use the Search option at the top of the list of the members, registered with us. By clicking the “Filters” button, you can sort members by location and age.
We check validated members' profiles carefully. Firstly, in order to register, every member takes a short video of herself / himself holding the ID, stating the current date, and confirming his/her consent for the registration out loud. Secondly, we verify if the information provided in the registration video corresponds to his/her profile info. Our moderators check if it is the same person — both at the video and at the profile picture. Thus, we can assure the person you are talking to is the person you see in the profile. Lastly, we verify if the personal documents member attaches are valid.
If any profile does not meet the requirements of the check-up at any of the abovementioned stages, it gets deactivated.
The price for chatting is 2 credits per 1 minute. You can find more information about packages we have on the website, or contact us directly.
