Frequently asked questions
How does BDate verify profiles?+
Verification is selfie-based photo verification: members submit a selfie and their profile photos are checked against it. It is one of the platform features alongside its app, listed under app and verified profiles and described in Selfie-based photo verification.
What are the plans and do they auto-renew?+
BDate offers plans as Monthly, 3-month, 6-month auto-renew, and the billing terms are Auto-renews; 3-business-day refund window. A longer term can cost less per month, but billing continues until you cancel, and the refund window is short, so check the terms before a plan starts.
What is the audience like?+
The focus is Singles wanting authentic, swimwear-photo dating, so the pool leans toward members who post swimwear photos rather than members who want long written profiles. The niche served is casual, with casual, and the pool holds Thousands of profiles.
Is there an app?+
An app is one of the listed features, alongside verified profiles: app and verified profiles. The service is run from US by SuccessfulMatch.com, Inc., so the account rules and the billing terms sit with that operator.

How do I get help?+

How long has BDate been running?+
The service has run since 2001 and is operated by SuccessfulMatch.com, Inc., a long-established dating service rather than a new arrival. The size of the community is given as Thousands of profiles, a broad figure rather than an active-user count.
