Introduction

ClickDate.net is advertised as a place where users can make friends, flirt, and find matches. According to information on the landing page, the platform’s matchmaking system ensures that 98% of all new members get to have a conversation within three days. From what I experienced on the website, it does not take long to register an account, and new users get free credits. It is also reported that 60% of the profiles are female. Privacy is also promised for members who interact on this platform.

On visiting the website for the first time, you will receive a clear notification on the landing page, which notifies you that the site contains fictional profiles. These fictitious member profiles are designed to ensure interaction and conversations with users, through moderated chats. Therefore, the platform is meant only for entertainment purposes, and meeting with these fake profiles is impossible.

Usability and design

First impression

The platform is presentable, attractive and seems like a legit offer on first sight. The landing page communicates what you can expect, if you create an account on this site. For instance, users can expect to find local singles to communicate with. There is also mention of the benefits, like the free credits which new users receive. The notice regarding fictitious profiles also shows that the operator is transparent.

Drawing the attention of users to this fact, ensures that they make an informed decision, before joining the platform. It is also nice that the user can access information regarding pricing, returns, and refunds. Users can also access the FAQ, without having to register an account.

Navigation

Users can easily scroll and browse through the various sections of the website. The various functions can be accessed by clicking the name of the feature. For instance, if you want to search for members, you can access this feature by clicking the name “search members.” You can also view your texts and send additional messages by clicking the word “messages.”

Once you log in, all these names and features are easily visible at the top of the page. Adjustments to the profile can be made by clicking the “My profile” menu. You can then click “save” to retain the changes. It is easy to see and locate all the features.

Registration process

The process of registering on the platform is easy and simple. You just provide your email address, username, and password, and then click the “Create account” button. You will then be able to decide whether to allow notifications. Next, is the option to add a photo, location, and information about yourself. Users can also proceed to the next step, without providing any of those details. The final step is an email confirmation. When I signed up on the website, I noticed that this step is necessary if you want to access the account and interact with other members.

General Terms and Conditions

My review found that ClickDate.net uses fictitious member profiles. These are chat moderators. They are employed to engage and converse with users, for entertainment purposes. So, this site is designed to help users fulfill their weird desires, through erotic chats and flirting. Therefore, it is not a dating platform which connects people who are looking for a legit romantic love experience.

Excerpt from the GTC

The user should take that into account, MEDIALIX LIMITED offers chats with fictitious member profiles (called Clickpals) on its website. The uses was informed about this when he first visited the website. The Clickpals can have fictional conversations, role play, or have other fictional communication with the user and other users of the website.

Functions and tools

Main functions

The main feature on this platform is the option to send messages, gifts, and photos. Sending anything through the chat service requires the use of “coins.” I discovered that users can also apply search filters to narrow down the searches and find profiles they like. It is also possible to block profiles that you do not want to interact with again.

The option to delete a message, or photo, can be accessed by right-clicking the message you want to delete. If you are on a laptop or computer, you select the “delete message” option which appears. You can do the same on a mobile device by pressing the message you want to delete and clicking the delete option.

Communication tools

The main communication tool on this platform is certainly the chat feature. This enables members to send messages, gifts, and photos. You can also like the profiles by pressing the button with the text, “like profile name.” This button is located on the member’s profile. Messages, photos, and gifts can only be sent by premium members, who have credits. Free accounts have minimal use when it comes to communication, as they cannot access most communication features. Other communication tools are not provided.

Security and data protection

Privacy policy

The platform makes use of cookies and web beacons to monitor user behavior on the platform. The site also collects user information, including the device type, browsing patterns, and IP address. This is in addition to what data like names and locations that the user provides when signing up. The operator follows the European regulations on data protection when handling user information.

Security measures

The site protects user data through encryption using an SSL certificate. Personal data is also only retained for the period for which it is necessary, and then it is deleted. This measure is meant to prevent unnecessary processing of personal data. It also reduces the risk of exposure of personal data to unauthorized people.

Target group analysis and matching quality

Demography

The platform can be used by any adult who is looking to chat and send messages online, for entertainment. The site is not a dating site that connects individuals who are looking for legit real-life romance. Therefore, the platform is not suitable for this demographic. However, people of all races and sexual orientations can use the platform to interact and have online fun. People who love their privacy will also enjoy the fact that only a limited number of people can view personal, private photos.

The site is convenient for those who like taking breaks, without having to delete their accounts. They can do this by activating the invisible mode, which hides their profile from other members on the platform.

Matchmaking algorithm

The platform allows members to match. While it is not clear how the matching algorithm operates, matching probably occurs when two members like each other’s profiles. I could not find a clear indication of any other factors for matchmaking during my review. However, matching is not necessary for communication to occur on the site. You can chat with any profile in the member area, as long as you have enough credits.

Costs and price-performance ratio

Free vs. paid functions

It is free to register and view profiles in the member area. Users on a free account can also narrow down searches by sex, country, region, and age, to find profiles they like. However, users who want to unlock more features like sending texts, pictures, and gifts must buy credits. Also, free accounts cannot view personal photos of members.

Only premium members are allowed this access. Although sending messages costs money, users are not charged for messages they receive from other profiles. Considering the pro and con of using the free service, I think it is worth buying coins packages to be able to use the website to the full extent.

Price structure

To view the pricing structure, you have to scroll to the bottom of the landing page and click the word “pricing” in the bottom-right corner. The following list will appear:

PREMIUM 100:100 credits for £24.99
PREMIUM 222:222 credits for £49.99
PREMIUM 500:500 credits for £99.99
PREMIUM 1000:1.000 credits for £149.99

Once you make a purchase, you can use the credit package until it is depleted or buy more whenever you want. Users have complete control over credit purchases and do not face any recurring charges, since there is no subscription plan. Payments can be made through debit or credit cards. Refunds are also available, subject to the Terms and Conditions. Sending one text message, gift, or photo, costs 10 credits.

Conclusion and recommendations

ClickDate.net is a platform where users can chat and flirt by sending and receiving messages, photos, and gifts. The site is available in a browser version, and it is free to create an account and view profiles. Users who are only looking for online entertainment are likely to enjoy their experience on this site because it is easy to navigate. However, if you are looking for love or other physical arrangements, then this is not the platform for you.

This site uses fictional profiles to engage users. It is not possible to have contact with these profiles outside the site. You must also buy a credit package, to chat with them because this service is not available for free accounts. Considering the pros and cons I discovered during my review, I cannot fully recommend this website. From my experience of reviewing dating sites, I can confirm that there are better options on the market that also allow real encounters.
