Real or Fake?

After joining Thecasuallounge.co.uk and using the site for some time, we concluded it can not be considered a real dating site. Many profiles are run by paid operators who talk to paying members in hopes to get them to buy subscription plans or credits. We found the decision to make messaging free for female users quite interesting, as it will attract more real users and give the site more credibility. However, if you are looking for a dating site with a high probability to meet someone you can take out on a date, thecasuallounge is probably not the place for you.

Free vs Paid

Thecasuallounge advertises free registration, which is true. Female users will also be able to send messages free of charge, but men need to buy a subscription plan to be able to use the same feature. Even though there is an incentive for women to make a profile, the site is full of fake female profiles run by animators who will engage men in conversation to get them to pay for a subscription. If you buy a VIP membership, it will be very difficult to cancel it. Multiple former members alleged having to send multiple faxes to the company to be able to cancel, and eventually canceling their credit cards because they still kept being charged.
