Never give them your credit card details, as they will charge you even after you cancel the subscription. And 80% of female profiles are fake!

I clicked on the purchase premium for life button by mistake and was charged 119.99 and as it was near the back button it was easy tp do.. i contacted them straight away and only to be told as my app was open this counts as having used services.. what a joke as i hit the button by mistake in the app.. its a trap.. i am considering a small claims court action unless this can be resolved.

I am a member of badoo, with premium membership, what a waste of money. Cannot contact visitors to my profile as it says i have chatted too much, thats why i got premium.. and locals, my age group they ask for credits. Join if you want, just never pay them money,

8/19/19

I am an experienced user of online dating sites and have grown wise to the ways they try to extort extra money out of you, however my experience with Badoo has definitely topped the lot. With my card details saved from a previous purchase, I *apparently* clicked on the default option of Lifetime Membership instead of Back. One wrong click and I'm billed £120 instantly! Their own terms and conditions outline a full refund is offered, yet Customer Service are trying to squirm out of refunding me with a nonsensical argument. I will take them to a claims court if I have to. Avoid!!! The free service is worthless to your average guy anyway.

8/6/19

Not very good u cant meet anyone because it's a chatting site and it should be free why pay to meet or pay for credits

8/3/19

Badoo select all lady have charmed and block them to the men want contact , push them to buy their product, Badoo use private life of member , this is totally illegal..they are cheating and they let people to use porn pictures..must be closed asap

Hi Paulo,
You can use Badoo for free and it is up to you to purchase any of our premium features or not. You can create a profile, upload as many photos and videos as you want, and chat and meet new people.
Our premium features provide the possibility to gain more attention. You can find more information about the features available with credits on https://badoo.com/credits and the subscription-based Badoo Premium package on https://badoo.com/spp
Please do let us know if you have any other questions!

CHARGING YOUR CC WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION EVERY DAY, SOMETIME TWO TIMES A DAY. DON'T PROVIDE ANY BANK OR PERSONAL INFO TO THOSE SCUMS, THEY WON'T REPLY, NOR MAKE ANY CONTACT WITH YOU WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF YOU EMAIL THEM EVERYDAY.

Hi Tiger W,
We've attempted to reach out to you previously to look into this, however, it seems you were unable to respond. According to your screenshots, it seems you have an active subscription to Badoo Premium which would renew daily until cancelled. Our subscription periods range from 1 day to 190 days. Instructions on cancelling your Badoo Premium subscription can be found in the terms which you agreed to when making your initial purchase.
In regards to multiple payments in one day, this is because banks can take some time to process your transactions, particularly over non-working days, so you may see multiple recent payments processed and grouped together in your billing history. Please be assured that it's not possible to hold multiple active subscriptions on the same active Badoo account.
If you would still like for us to look into this further or cancel your subscription on your behalf. Please feel free to reach out to our team at badoo.com/feedback, or fund the @BadooHelp team on Facebook or Twitter.

If you are an American you will more than likely get scammed from this site. I've read hundreds of reviews on Apple, Google Play and online about this shady site. And my opinion is to not trust them with ANY of your personal photos, or credit cards.
A simple Google search showed me that Badoo is owned by Russian billionaire/ entrepreneur Andrey Andreev and has ZERO consequences to American law. Stick with American dating apps, people. DO NOT SHARE YOUR CREDIT CARD WITH ANYONE ON THIS SITE!
Contact the Apple and Google Play stores and complain to them about Badoo's deceptive credit card practices and scammy way of Badoo kicking people off its site/app.
My profile was blocked today for NO reason at all. Badoo sent me a vague email saying I had broken its community guidelines - which wasn't true at all. Most of the reviews online centered around Badoo charging customer's credit cards and kicking people off its site. No reason was given to any of them as to why they were suddenly blocked from access to its site.
Do not trust them with any of your cards, or PHOTOS! That's the only way Badoo makes money -- These Russian snake-oil salesmen know they can skirt American laws by scamming and running its customer's credit cards. I will be contacting Google Play later on today to tell them this app is a 100% scam! I hope others join me in expressing their frustrations and opinions to Google and Apple!

This website is a fraud. It floods users with ads, pop-ups and offers to purchase paid features. Many accounts are fake and it is hardly possible to find there people for quality communication.

Hi Katerina,
Thanks for your review, we really appreciate any feedback that helps us to improve for our users.
Badoo has always been free to download and use and we want to keep it this way, this means that we have recently introduced advertising. Ads will not be shown to users who have purchased our paid features. If you want to remove the ads, you can either subscribe to Badoo Premium, that will give you access to features that other users don’t have access to or Credits that will increase your visibility and popularity.
We're also doing a lot to tackle Fake profiles online which is why we introduced photo verification. Users that have proved their real by verifying with a photo will have a white tick with a blue background on their profile. However, if you happen to encounter an account you think might not be genuine, you'll always have the option to report it ot our team using 'Block or Report' button on their profile.
If you have any additional concerns, please feel free to reach out to the badooHelp team on Facebook or Twitter (@BadooHelp) or email us at badoo.com/feedback.

I am partially sighted and I have problems reading text on my phone. I must have clicked where I shouldn't have and, BOOM, I was a premium member. ONE CLICK!! They are out to screw the handicapped. These guys are about as dishonest as they get.

Hi Gary,
We've attempted to reach out to you via private message as we'll require some personal details such as your email address or phone number in order to locate your Badoo account and purchase.
Storing your payment details on your Badoo account is completely optional and you can remove your details at any time in order to prevent making a purchase using your stored payment method.
We look forward to hearing from you and resolving this matter promptly.

If you're an average man with average looks, and you're 40-plus, you have about as much chance getting a date on Badoo, than you do winning the Lottery every week for a year. It's not going to happen. I am that guy. Average looks and 43 years old. I had a profile on there for three months. I sent messages to average looking women. Some looked at my profile, none messaged back. My photo was also rated 1 out of 5. I don't know what purpose that serves other than to try and cripple the confidence of whose photo it is. I'm thick-skinned so it didn't bother me. But I had this vision of women low rating guys just to make the guys feel hurt. That aside, Badoo just like POF, has a database of anti-social women who don't wanna chat and most certainly don't want to date. They're so shallow, if you're not a hot guy they won't even reply. And this coming from average to below average women. Fat and middle aged. Unbelieavble. A waste of time.

Hi Jacky,
We're sad to hear you're not having a great time on Badoo. We work hard on promoting users to make the most of their profile and being interactive on Badoo, as well as aiming to create more meaningful connections.
We'd be happy to take a look at your profile and offer some advice on putting your best foot forward if you think this is setting you back? Just reach our to our team on Facebook or Twitter @BadooHelp and we'll take a look.

I have been on Badoo on and off for a while now, I remember when you could comment on other members photos as well. Shame they stopped that.
They use to have a cool credit top up feature where you can message someone for free or 10 credits or top up 10 credits but now the minimum required to message a user/badoo member will cost you 150 credits! Tell me Badoo team?? Why does it cost 150 credits/ £1.50 to send one message? Please let me know why? It use to cost 10 credits last year. I disagree the way you have hiked your prices up at the expense of many of your loyal members.
So if you only have 5 credits left on your account then to chat to one person would cost you £3 GBP (for 200 credits). Also if that badoo member doesnt reply or deletes their profile then you would have wasted £3 and 150 credits! - When before it would cost you 10 credits only!
Also an increase number of fakes on there as well sadly. I hope badoo looks into this a little more for the benefit of their users/members!?
Stay safe all!
Best wishes,
Sean

Hi Sean,
We really appreciate your feedback on our messaging feature and we're sorry to hear that this is really affecting your experience on Badoo.
You can message anyone you match with for free but if you don’t want to wait until the user likes you back, you can still use credits to initiate a conversation with her.
This change provides the best experience for all our users, as many have asked us to help manage the number of messages they get.
Improve your chance to get matches by adding your best photos and playing Encounters.
Thank you for your understanding.

I was a member for well over a year with no real problems whatsoever.. Accumulated a few blocks.. Female members easily go that way if not even just out of spite.. Lifetime membership.. Yeah right.. Any random idiot can block you there and there is no way to prove your case.. Because you are blocked you have no access to any of your conversations anymore.. They are very willing to take your money but have no customer service or dispute resolving of any kind.. Blocked is blocked.. Kiss your $ goodbye..

Hi Floris,
I'm sorry to hear your account was blocked on Badoo. We do have a set of guidelines which we ask you to follow from the moment you register on Badoo. When violations of these guidelines occur, we may be required to issue you a warning or revoke your access to ensure Badoo remains a safe and fun place for people to connect and date honestly.
If you think we've made a mistake, please reach out to our team at badoo.com/feeback and we will be happy to take a second look. We advise reviewing the guidelines which you agreed to follow here: badoo.com/guidelines
Hope to hear from you soon!

They block my account after I spent a lot of time doing live. They were worried that I will whitdraw the money. This application is a big fat lie. They are making a lot of money ..

Hi Cristina,
Sorry to hear your account was blocked! This will happen when we find that someone has broken our rules. We have a team of moderators working around the clock to ensure Badoo remains a fun and safe place for all of our users. Should you break the rules which you agree to follow by using BAdoo, we reserve the right to revoke your access to our platform. If you believe there's been a mistake, please reach out to our team at badoo.com/feedback and we'll conduct a secondary investigation at your request.
Please be assured that the decision to block a profile on Badoo has no relation to the rewards you can earn while streaming. This information is not relevant when making this decision but you may forfeit any rewards if your profile is blocked as a result of violations against our guidelines.

I just found out why my bank account is continuously overdrafting: for three months now, Badoo has been drawing $1.99 every day for a daily premium subscription. The way they word their options is deliberately deceptive and will have you thinking you're paying once and using their premium services until they expire, but this is not the case; they will charge you regularly for whatever amount you consented to be charged once. I've since removed my credit card info and cancelled my subscription (of course they keep those options hidden in the settings options), but if that's not enough I'll take it up with my bank.
Leave it to the $#*!ing Ruskies to come up with something so shadowy and vile. It's like they took OKC and bastardized it into a digital leech with a dating app's exterior. Don't give them any of your information and tread lightly if you're going to use Badoo- or simply skip to a better site or app that'll give you greater results without costing you a penny.

Hi Evan,
Thanks for your review.
Starting a subscription for Badoo Premium means you enter into a billing agreement, which authorises recurring charges to be made using the payment method you've selected. Removing your stored payment details prevents you from making one-click purchases, but it does not cancel billing agreements like a subscription. Billing agreements need to be cancelled separately, and cancellation instructions are presented to you at the time of purchase.
The terms of your subscription are presented to you at the time of purchase, along with cancellation instruction if you don't want to renew your subscription. You can also find them here: badoo.com/terms
Please let us know if you have any further questions. You can find us on Facebook and Twitter (@BadooHelp) or contact us via email at badoo.com/feedback.

*** THIS APP IS A SCAM!!*** DO NOT SAVE YOUR CREDI INFO !!, they will make you pay for an expensive subscription if you click wrong once. They want to obtain payment details, and then trick you into making outrageous payments. They do this by providing 'one-click payments' defaulting to large sums of money.This app is maliciously designed to make you pay by accident. They will not return any accidental payments. They will not even reply to your complains. **AVOID THIS SCAM!!**mers pay by accidental click.

To assist us in this process, we encourage you to report any profiles to us that you may find suspicious.

They gave me a one time offer to buy premium features for only $5. I agreed gave them my payment details and they charged me $70 without my permission. They are lying to people and doing scam. This has to stop. I have to file a report in police station.

You aren't allowed to show ANY skin in your profile pics they deleted my account and blocked me because of the shirt I was wearing. Are you kidding me? No warning no nothing! Last time I checked this was supposed to be an adult dating site give me a break

Hi April,
Thanks for your review on our photo moderation guidelines.
After checking your photo, we can see that it is somewhat revealing and should be placed in your 'Private Photos' album. This is because we want Badoo to be a wholesome environment. If you think this is too strict, we'll be happy to record your feedback for our team and look into new ways of allowing such images on your own profile. However, for now, please be sure that you're meeting our guidelines when uploading new photos.

I recently joined this site using their mobile app. The location states that there are several women that appeal to me within 100km of less in area's that are real but its an absolute scam designed to get you to upgrade for a myriad of reasons when, in reality you would end up with a bunch of obese tattooed bogans to choose from. Its a bit like OKC who never seem to have anyone in Australia or within 3000km and these free websites are such bull$#*! as they push all of the upgrade options. Can someone tell me in this era of equality why the hell men are the ones that have to pay???

Thanks for your review!
Our 'Encounters' feature uses top-notch technology to find people that you might be interested in. Because of this, there are several reasons why you may see people from other cities whilst playing Encounters:
1. From time to time, we might show you users outside your criteria if we believe that you might be interested in them.
2. Users who have voted for you while visiting your location will still be shown even if they aren't within your specified distance anymore.
3. Once you’ve voted on all the users in your area, our system will automatically find other users from places further away from your location.
Please let us know if you have any other questions. You can find our support tream at badoo.com/feedback or reach out to us on Facebook or Twitter with @BadooHelp.

Best way to break this down is in point form.
1. None of the attractive ones live in your country: 99% of the sexually appealing women require '150 credits' to talk to or the screen says 'she is very popular, you need premium to chat with her'. I once got 150 credits for free as a special offer so I could talk to one of these women. We ended up vibing until I asked her out. She was like 'I'm sorry teehee, Actually I live in Brazil'. Don't spend a cent on this garbage Jew app
2. Referring to point one: the fat/ugly ones you can chat to for free, any attractive women requires payment. Never pay a woman unless it guarantees sex (see a hooker).
3. 3 years ago this app had real attractive local women you could talk to and meet face to face. I met some beautiful women off Badoo back in 2017.
4. The app is infested with shamal traps.

Hi Elliot,
Thanks so much for your review, we hope it will help us to improve as a platform.
In regard to the key points, we feel they are somewhat related to your expectations of other users appearance and unfortunately we do not control this. Badoo celebrates a diverse and inclusive community and we're happy that you're a part of it!
We hope that you find a more meaningful connection that isn't solely or heavily based on someone's looks but the genuine connection that can be created through sharing personalities.

I joined Badoo few months ago and made an account. I am a transgender and I get hit on
a LOT and some guys even want to offer me money in exchange for meeting up with them. Truth be told I have never received any dime from anyone online. And yet some member reported me apparently for prostitution. With no warning, they blocked my account and I received an email informing me the nature of the complaint. I'm like wtf, how would they even verify that the member's report is true? It was that easy to be reported in badoo and get you blocked. I let it go, and few weeks later I tried making a new account. I tried 3 times, they keep blocking it apparently for breaking their guidelines on the first account. It felt very unfair to be judged with no credible basis. It felt dehumanizing and just aweful to be banned from something you cant even dispute about. Their decision was apparently final even if I emailed their support team. Yes, stay away from Badoo, it's not a great experience there. The company slams the door on to your face with no warning let alone legal basis. I am just appalled how a business treats its members very aweful.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for taking the time to submit your review.
We're sorry to hear that the decision was made to block your profile. However, please be ensured that any complaints submitted within the Badoo app or via the Badoo website are thoroughly investigated and if it is found that you've broken our rules, we reserve the right to revoke your access to Badoo.
If you feel like this decision is incorrect, you are welcome to reach out to our team for a second investigation and we'll be happy to take a second look for you!

Hi stranger (don't know what ur name is :) Lot off factors that can help you if someone's profile is not fake .check the pictures closely .is there a time lapse ?? Means do all pictures look diff .if yes means they are being picked up from Internet or someone's profile .second if you are chatting with them then ask them to send u a picuture of them doing a certain action like for eg I wouldask u hey I want you to send me a pictures in which you are touching ur eyebrow or standing under a wall clock .if the profile is fake they won't send and come up with all diff excuses if they are genuine they will do it. Rest you can always ask questions which are open ended and remember if some one is lying he won't be able to remember it for long if u ask him the same questions later .rest it's upto ur wisdom

Answer:

Hi Gunal! We work hard to keep a database of high quality real users, and our moderation team works 24/7 to spot any malicious profiles. Most of our users are really who they say they are! However, if you're still suspicious, we urge you to use the reporting feature to notify our moderators about a potential fake profile. Additionally, Badoo is completely free to use. We do have some additional features to increase your popularity, but they are totally optional. We hope this helps, but please do not hesitate to get in touch if otherwise!

Answer:

NO. It means the person has JUST been connected (disconnected few minutes ago). RED means offline. GREEN means online.

Bonjour, Il est possible que l'un de nos modérateurs constatent que votre profil ait été en violation avec nos directives. Nous demandons à tous nos utilisateurs de suivre les mêmes règles qui nous aident à garder Badoo un réseau sûr. Afin d'en savoir plus sur nos règles de conduite, vous pouvez consulter le lien suivant : badoo.com/guidelines.

Answer:

Hey Kumar, Why not try changing your opening line? It can be a little daunting to know what to say so visit their profile and ask them a question about themselves. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Hi Jason, You can delete your Badoo profile at any time by visiting your profile settings. although we'd love to hear why you're leaving. Your question suggests you've made a purchase you no longer want. If this is correct, please message us and we'll be happy to look into this for you.

Answer:

Hey Gary, It's not possible to set your profile to get featured at the same time every day. If you've opted for the bundle offer, you'll get a total of 3 features for the cost of 2. So when your first feature ends, you'll get another. And then another at no extra cost!

Answer:

Hey Patricia, It's not just certain people. Accessing the users that have already liked you, without first liking them back to create a match, forms part of our subscription-based service Badoo Premium! If you don't want to subscribe to Badoo Premium, you can always play encounters and if you match with a user, you'll be able to interact with them freely.

Answer:

Hi Mattia, Not just females can earn point for streaming, everyone can! The more entertaining and interesting your stream is, the more likely users are to send you gifts. Let us know if you have any question on how to start streaming and earning rewards!
