Search Functions
Search filters are only accessible to paid members; other free users will be connected to a random user, without any input. Members can choose to filter potential chat mates by gender or country location, allowing more control over the type of people you are connected with. However, as this is primarily a random chat service and not a dating app, there is no need for other filters.

This will automatically flag and ban any users found to be violating the app terms and conditions. In terms of card and payment protection, a well-known and trusted third party processor SegPay handles this side of the service, you will be transferred to the service before payment where you can read their terms and conditions.
