I've been ghosted twice from chicks on this site, but the last one just majorly redeemed herself yesterday. Tbh, I was about done with trying on here, but just like that, I think I just met my match. Amy and I have found a great arrangement that works for both of us and I'm actually excited. Upward and onward!
SWM, I've used this site off and on for about 4 years with varied results. One of the most annoying things about it; The site automatically sends out messages and likes from dormant female accounts just to get you to spend credits. Now lately they won't take credit or debit cards which I've used for years. They only accept Bitcoin to purchase credits to contact other site members. What a load of crap!
I met Suzy here 2 months ago. Been going really great. I think we are both very happy to have found each other here. Many thanks!
Overall good, but most girls will not reply to your messages, which you have to unlock with credits.
Tip for consumers:
Same as most other dating sites.
I've been trying new sites and SB has turned out to be a great surprise. I've been on several sites and best results has been this one by far.
Tip for consumers:
Look for the verified and new are best.
Joined last month and have already been out on a few dates. Kind of tinderish but the guys actually take care of you which is nice.
Thanks for taking the time to submit a review. I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying the site.
Depending upon where you are located is going to dictate how many possible Daddy's or Baby's you'll have in your local area.
I live an 1.5 hour ferry or 20 minute float plane ride from a greater city of 2.6 Million.
Thousands within a 100 mile radius.
Unfortunately, if you're not going to them or bringing them to you the number may vary considerably.
Within my local area of 30 miles there are, at the time of this writing, 210 SB's and 31 SD's.
Taking into account the last year and a half of rising interest costs, SD's have dropped to a 1/3 from last year and SB's have over doubled.
Needless to say, play money is drying up for SD's and SB's are having financial difficulties!
There still is a variety of SB's but many have the experience of being renumerated the same as last year!
Although, I have found some SB's that are more willing to negotiate they're rate.
Do you're research by opening an account and not funding it until you have a good idea of what you're getting into. Disable the account when you're not on it so you're not tempted to fund only to find out that those individuals have been on the site for a very long time. Or, there are only a few members on the site in your local area.
Good luck!
Update:
Should add that I've had several Baby's since December 2022.
You'll have to be patient with them. Some will waste time and effort. But, if you do score a chance, like I have, I've had great, good, ok, not so good and not a chance!
Secret Benefits has been more productive than Ashley Madison or Seeking Arrangements.
For my local area AM is a complete waste of time over the last 3 years and SA, although I'm still in a two plus year arrangement from that site, if has been a blow out since last year.

Tip for consumers:
Nope
I don't know if I should have been more picky, but I found my Daddy after being on the site for only a month. He's really nice, good looking, and funny. I dated a few other guys on the site, but none of them really did it for me. The first date I got from the site made me really nervous because I've never been on a "sugar date" before, and I had no idea what to expect, but the date was really easy going and the guy was a total gentleman. I was looking for the total package, and the chemistry just wasn't there. The other dates were brief coffee and dessert dates, and they were alright guys as well, but I just wasn't feeling it. When I finally met the man I'm seeing now I knew he was the one from the start. He had the looks, class, charm, and finanical independence that I was desiring. We can just spend as much time as we like with each other, and I never have to worry about flipping the bill. He takes care of everything for me and treats me like a lady and he is a great lover! I'm so thankful to have met this man, and I hope we will continue to be as blissfully happy as we are now! Thanks to Secret Benefits and my persistance I finally met the man of my dreams! I've recommended to all of my BFF's to check this site out!

SB gets a bit of credit from me. I've been successful relatively well as far as meeting some beautiful women from their site.
Tip for consumers:
You use credits to chat so be selective and thoughtful to who you reach out to so you don't burn through them too fast.
I like secret benefits as an alternative to other dating apps. It has been free to use and guys have been generally very cool and enjoy spoiling me.
Tip for consumers:
Just be aware and be safe with meeting guys online
I came in to re-write this review based on what support at SecretBenefits.com had said to me that they were changing things at SB which would make this review out-dated. So rather than write about something I haven't yet experienced I am going to write about their support which I must admit are very responsive and were actually open-minded to what I considered to be an anchor around the neck of an otherwise good site. So if nothing else I can say with confidence that if you are unhappy with SecretBenefits.com that you would be wise to contact their support before giving up on the place because they might surprise you. They did me in that most the time even if you have a valid concern that when you write support IF they respond its some canned response followed by broken English to which by then most of us have had our spirit broken and given up.
That certainly was not my experience with SecretBenefits.com. There is no doubt that support speaks fluent English and are articulate on top of that. I believe they will do what they can to make your experience as best possible. That said, some responsibility falls to the one that purchased the membership in that if you don't make a serious effort then how can you expect a serious result?
I am reminded of a post somebody made about a dating site they claimed was tops! The man had written that he'd only been on the site less than a couple of months and all ready he had conversations with several girls. Well that's all he's ever going to have if he hasn't gotten laid to that point. Some do, some don't, all want to, the difference between the two is effort. You have to make some kind of one beyond chatting back and forth. Oh and being that SecretBenefits.com is a sugar daddy site then if you can't make a serious effort; have some serious rewards to give out and the ladies will do the effort part for you.
First time I ever tried a sugar daddy site. At first I thought it was a scam when I kept losing touch with the women while trying to talk thru their system. And it IS slow which caused me to think there was something fishy because the offer I proposed was a good one and i fully expected a lot of attention which I got but then kept losing them after getting replies like "I'm down". "ok steve"... they were clearly accepting the proposal yet none of them was seeing it through.
Well as it turned out I landed a sugar baby who was far beyond my expectations and she's been so fantastic so far that I am still wondering how I got so lucky?
One other thing, which I liked about SB, was I never felt that intimidation about not being rich, at SB, where as some of the other SD sites I visited, but admittedly didn't ever do more than join the free section to see what the women looked like: but reason I didn't go further was the atmosphere they project is of people whom are much more sophisticated than I, so I kept looking for some place more blue-collar friendly and it was SB.
I've read a lot of negative stuff about SB and that also helped taint my view of things there but in the end I can't argue with the fact that I landed a fantastic real girl far exceeding my expectations.
Upsetting to think how much time I wasted on other sites for dating. I met my match on secretbenefits.com in the first week and I did not pay a dime.
Tip for consumers:
Just be straight to the point and follow through
I just wanted to say a quick thanks to Secret Benefits. I've been having a great time so far! Plenty of hotties, legit site.
Thank you too :) We are very glad you like the sites and that you have taken the time to tell the world about it.
I recently came close to running out of credits on Secret Benefits, and all of a sudden I received many messages from beautiful young women. Most seemed to be from my own area, which is very remote. How wonderful the farmers' daughters were finally coming out of their milk sheds! Thinking that things were looking up, I bought just a few more credits. The women came raining down on my profile, like gifts from heaven, with a couple of Sports Illustrated coverworthy supermodels showing up. All mesmerized by me!
I ran out of credits in a hurry, so I bought a larger number of credits. Then, like ghosts, all the beautiful, vivacious women disappeared. Gone. Only the odd undistinguished individual showed up periodically, kicking tires.
This has happened more than once, which I hate to admit. I have detected a trend here that I should have noticed earlier.
I am generally polite and write clear responses to everyone, so I am not driving people away. My profile is ok. Good education, salary, decent looks that have never turned off women in the larger centers where I have lived. Something nefarious is going on here. One thing is obvious: The site incentivizes women to contact certain individuals with low credit levels -- as another reviewer mentioned.
Consider also the company's marketing directed towards men. "Cheaper than an affair" I've seen pop up from time to time next to a picture of a nude or semi-clad young woman. I don't know what their marketing towards women looks like, but I bet you it doesn't include a picture of a dignified gentleman in tweed jacket driving a Rolls-Royce with the caption "He knows you're cheaper than an affair".
Avoid the Secret Benefits site. Tell anyone you know who uses dating sites. SB is out to drain you of your money and is nothing more than a sophisticated catphishing operation. I am going to research this further, look for the appropriate authorities/watchdog groups, and report the business practices at SB.
Tip for consumers:
It would have been useful to know that the site uses unscrupulous methods to encourage people to spend more money at the site

If you are looking for a sugar daddy try this site out. Im trying a few sugar dating sites, and I think I like this one the most so far.
Glad to hear you are enjoying Secret Benefits Marget and thanks for recommending us to everyone!
I joined Secret Benefits in August 2018 and promptly forgot about it for four months. Meanwhile my inbox filled up with messages from women who "admired" my profile on the site. I assumed they were fake and ignored them. Then around Christmas I decided to try contacting some local women. I found I had to buy credits as it cost 10 credits to respond to a message from a woman or to send a first message. At the time it was about US$1 per credit, though it was a lot cheaper to buy 1000 credits. In fact when you sign up the site encourages you to buy 1000s of credits and take a scatter gun approach i. E. contact dozens of women in your area in the hope that one or two might bite. I had no shortage of messages from women. Unfortunately the most decent woman I met lives in Belgium (I'm in London). We've never met and probably never will but we keep in touch daily by WA and she's a good friend. However, I was hoping for more than that from SB so I carried on looking. So far I've had dates with one woman out of about 50 chats - 4 dates in all, two in bars and two in a hotel room. I'll say no more except those dates cost a lot more than a typical London escort would have cost. A few tips for the unwary: the majority of women on SB absolutely do not want a sexual relationship. Many are looking for a monthly allowance or high priced pay per meet in return for letting you wine and dine them once or twice a month. Others want you to invest in a business start up. Others want you to pay for their university tuition fees, rent, clothes, holidays, etc and in return they offer "friendship" or "someone to talk to" in very public places like concerts, restaurants and shopping malls. Some will give you a sob story and ask for money up front - concert tickets that are selling out fast is a common one, or rent because the landlord is hammering on the door right now is another one. The lady I met 4 times asked me for £200 for clothes last week. For old times' sake I sent her the money by PayPal. The money left my account a week ago and she's still insisting it hasn't reached her, obviously hoping I'll resend. That's the kind of woman you're likely to meet on SB.
Tip for consumers:
Be very careful when you contact women on this site. Make absolutely sure that you are both looking for the same thing and don't part with any £££ unless you're sure the woman is genuine.
Hi Paul,
I’m sorry to hear that even though you’ve had a few dates with one woman and are in touch with another, you haven’t been completely satisfied with your experience on the site.
Secret Benefits is all about “dating on your terms”, this means there are all kinds of people looking for all types of relationships, and it can take time to find people whose desires are compatible with yours. What you might consider to be an unsuitable arrangement is something another man might really be interested in. That said, if you do come across any members who are using the site in an unsuitable manner, please report so that customer support can deal with them immediately.
I’ve had customer service get in touch with you to see if they can help improve your experience on the site. I hope they can and that you have better luck in the future.
I'm using SB a lot without issues so far
Interesting to see others experiences here
I use the site as I travel a lot and I normally do well if I start ahead where I'm going
It's been a whole week waiting for my account to be verified it's still locked I've sent email after email after video verification and nothing
Hi Shelby, I believe this was sorted out for you? Sorry for the delay in getting your profile verified.
I received 2 replies and met with one with whom I could not come to terms. She was extremely demanding
Like many other in this review forum my experience was: join, decide to pay some $$ for credits, received almost daily messages from women, then go to respond to the ones I actually find attractive and nothing but silence. I had an exchange with one 24yo beauty - who wrote me first - then after responding with "Hi, you are gorgeous! I'd love to be your sugar daddy - how can I spoil you? " etc. then after weeks of nothing, the girl not online for 3+ weeks, and similar experience with other top-tier attractive women, I had had it with SB. I decided that indeed something fishy is gong on on that site. I believe SB pays for model type 18-25yo women to create these fake profiles. I wrote to her asking to meet one more time just to prove that she's actually on the site looking for someone/sugar daddy as I had decided that the entire site was a scam. She THEN responds with "I'm real - see my verification video?" She did have a verification video - but what does that prove? The funny thing is the video didn't even really match the photos. Anyway - I've decided this:
Either the SB site pays some # of truly beautiful young women to join/create the videos but none of them are there to meet you - or - the site does carry out some of this pernicious behavior and I was just unlucky enough to not contact the beautiful "real" ones. Either way - at least for the model-type women the site is a scam. I finally told SB my opinion and that I wanted a refund for my remaining credits for me to leave, At first SB would not refund. Then I took a couple of photos from one of the model types and plugged them into images.google.com. And voila! I had evidence of a totally fake profile. Remember - images.google.com is your friend. I then wrote SB claiming the site is a scam - here's some proof! Within hours they are refunding my credits and I'm off the site.
This site is pretty simple to use, if only it had serious prospects that are actually wanting to connect. The site spams your inbox with what appears to be bots or AI messages from women that are interested. "Disclaimer: I am not the greatest PUA to ever live and I am also no Don Juan, but I am descent at starting a conversation and building rapport with women."
Now back to the site, You have to pay for conversations and pay for private photos through a credit system that you buy which is not cheap. You then receive more unsolicited conversations that you must pay for to unlock. Usually within two to three exchanges, you realize that this is not a human interaction and not a serious interaction. The conversation starts out generically and when you ask or require in depth responses or responses that require more than a yes or no answer, end of the Ruze.
Don't be fooled by the profiles, because even if the profiles tell you what it wants and you are providing exactly that, you find that conversation and setting in person meet ups are flaky. This is where some other reviews have disclosed that it appears when you are lucky enough to get into a real interaction with a woman, she may be on the payroll for the site. Which means, she's only there to waste your time.
I really wanted this site to be what it claimed to be, but after a couple of months, I cannot in good conscious give it a good review. I'm not sure how things work for women who sign up, but men be ware. My advice is focus on your hobbies and meet someone live while doing what you love instead of wasting time and money here.
Hope this helps someone and good luck!
