AmateurMatch.com: An Insider’s Deep Dive

Pros and cons of AmateurMatch.com

A brief overview of the advantages and disadvantages of AmateurMatch.com

Introduction

AmateurMatch.com is a platform where users can chat and send flirts. My review of the Terms and Conditions revealed that this platform uses moderated profiles to improve the user experience. These profiles are called “online cupids.” They are fictitious profiles operated by company staff, or contracted parties. Based on my firsthand experience with the website, no physical meetings can take place between these fake profiles and actual users. However, the operator does not object to meetings between users with real profiles. Still, those who decide to meet, are advised to exercise caution.

Registration on the site is free. Individuals who are at least 18 years of age can create an account with the website. People of all races, sexual orientations, and geographical regions can register. The platform offers several features. Chat rooms are the primary communication tool. Through this feature, users can send and receive messages. However, the chat feature is only accessible to premium members who have a paid subscription.

Usability and design

First impression

The platform’s landing page is simple, modern, and attractive to users and appears to be a legit offer at first glance. The landing page provides information about the operator. This information can be accessed by clicking the Terms and Conditions link, which is in small print, at the bottom of the screen. Contact information can also be found at the bottom of the landing page. There is also a sign-up section, where individuals who want to register, can enter their information. Overall, the operator has tried to be transparent, by providing information to users even before they log in.

Navigation

Users will find it easy to navigate this website. The details on the landing page are neatly organized. Users can access the Terms and Conditions and the privacy policy, by scrolling to the bottom of the landing page. Although the site does not have a mobile app, it is accessible through the browser on all computers and mobile devices. The user interface does not lag, which enables members to switch between features, without downtime. All features are easy to see and use. Conducting searches, and chatting with members, is also easy.

Registration process

Creating an account with the platform is easy and takes little time. It is also free. You just have to provide your email address and enter your birth details, gender, sexual preference, password, and zip code, to gain access to your new account. However, you must first confirm your email and verify your identity, by clicking the link sent to the email you used to register. You must also enter the link provided in the email. Upon registering on the website, I observed that users can navigate through the various features and member profiles.

Mobile app

The Android version of the app is available on appbrain.com. The app has been downloaded approximately twenty-two thousand times. It has an average star rating of 4.2 and has received 69 reviews. However, the app is not available in the Google Play Store. I also did not find an iOS version of the app.

General Terms and Conditions

AmateurMatch.com is an entertainment service. It uses fantasy profiles called “online cupids” to chat with users. The chat activity from these profiles ensures that users engage with the platform. Messages from these profiles may be automatically generated, without human involvement, or sent by chat moderators. It is not possible to legit meet with these automated profiles. Also, it is possible for a single chat moderator to operate multiple fake profiles.

Excerpt from the GTC

THIS SITE USES FANTASY PROFILES AND MESSAGES CALLED: ONLINE CUPIDS®”: You understand, acknowledge, and agree that some of the user profiles posted on this site, may be fictitious and operated by the Site or its contractors.

Functions and tools

Main functions

The chat option and live cams are the platform’s main features. I found out that the other features available use both of these functions. For instance, the chat option helps users explore the range of profiles that they can engage with. It is also possible to add “buddies”, which is essentially asking them to be your friend. Users can also send flirts and gifts to profiles that they are interested in. Other than the search option, many other features require members to pay a subscription, or buy tokens, to gain access.

Communication tools

Chatting is the main form of communication on the site. Users can chat by clicking the inbox and chat icons, which are found on the right of every profile picture. There is also an option to add a buddy. This option is similar to sending a friend request. Users can also send flirts, gifts, and photos, through the chat.

Another communication tool is the live cams. Users can access this by clicking the camera icon, on the top right, next to the profile icon. Clicking this camera icon takes the user to a member area with live models, who are ready to participate in live shows.

Special features

The platform has live cams. To access this special feature, members are required to have “credits.” They are the fees charged to view private or nude shows. When accessing this special feature, members are told the amount charged per minute. This amount may vary per individual. Users can accept the stated rate, or decline. In cases of declination, no fee is charged. There is also a wheel which users can spin, to win tokens.

Security and data protection

Privacy policy

The Privacy Policy contains most of the details which users need to know, regarding the security of their data. In the privacy statement, the operator explains why, and how, they collect user information. The issue of the use of cookies is also carefully tackled. Moreover, users are informed of their rights regarding data privacy.

Security measures

Information provided to the operator is stored on servers secured with firewalls. The operator also encrypts all payment transactions using SSL technology. The security measures taken by the company are meant to prevent unauthorized access, or accidental loss, of user data. Users are also advised to prioritize online safety, by keeping their passwords confidential.

Target group analysis and matching quality

Demography

This platform is open to all individuals of adult age. People who love chatting online as a form of entertainment, form a significant part of the target audience. The operator describes entertainment as the site’s primary goal. Although it is possible to chat with legit members and arrange physical meetings, the operator does not guarantee that users will find a partner on the platform. Also, the site does not have restrictions in terms of geographical regions. People from all parts of the world can create accounts. Individuals of all sexual orientations are also welcome.

Matchmaking algorithm

Although it is unclear how the matching algorithm works on this platform, it is still possible to find like-minded individuals. Users can achieve this by sending texts. It is also possible to express interest, by sending flirts and gifts. You can then proceed with the interaction if the other profile responds positively, and wants to engage. Users can also try the live cam, to see if there are profiles which they find attractive. During my review, I couldn’t find any clear indicators of additional matchmaking factors.

Costs and price-performance ratio

Free vs. paid functions

Registering for an account is free. Non-paying users can also view profiles in the member area, apply search filters, and see all features. However, users must pay a subscription fee to chat with other members on the platform.

With a paid membership, users can view all profiles and photos, as well as send email messages. They can create private one-on-one chats, and get unlimited buddy invites and requests. Moreover, premium members are featured on all search results, and they can view public and private galleries. Additionally, they are prioritized, when it comes to customer support. After weighing the pros and cons of using the free service, I believe investing in coins packages is worthwhile to unlock the website’s full potential.

Price structure

The platform uses a subscription-based payment model. The subscription packages vary, but they all automatically renew at the end of the period, unless canceled. There are four different subscription plans available. The website’s payment structure is as follows:

Users can also buy “tokens”, to gain access to additional features and improve their user experience. Sending flirts, email messages, and buddies, all require 40 tokens. Users must also spend extra, to send virtual gifts. Tokens and virtual gifts cannot be converted into cash. They can only be used on the platform. Membership, tokens, and virtual gifts, cannot be transferred to other users.

Conclusion and recommendations

AmateurMatch.com is advertised as a platform which users can join, to find a match. The platform is transparent about its use of fantasy profiles. These are moderated profiles, which are used to increase engagement and enhance the user experience. Physical contact between these profiles and actual users, is impossible. However, the operator does oppose meetings between actual users. Still, parties who arrange physical contact, are urged to be cautious, and look out for their safety.

In my review of the platform, I found it easy to navigate the site. It is a platform with various features which people who interact online, might enjoy. To access all the features, users are required to subscribe to a payment plan. The subscription renews automatically, until you decide to cancel. Based on the pros and cons I identified in my review, I cannot wholeheartedly endorse this website. Drawing from my experience in evaluating dating sites, I can affirm that there are superior alternatives available that facilitate genuine encounters.
