FAQ: all your questions about Geek Dating
General
Do I need to be a "real" geek to sign up?
No. Geek Dating brings together singles who love video games, anime, manga, series or pop culture, whatever their level. Nobody has a culture test to pass: curiosity is enough.
Is Geek Dating free?
Yes, for the essentials: sign-up, profile, likes, posts in the feed and unlimited chat with each of your matches. Diamonds and the Premium subscription are optional.
What do you do about fake profiles?
Photos are checked automatically (those found elsewhere on the internet are rejected), profiles can be verified with a selfie and the moderation team reviews every report. Never send money, gift cards, in-game items or a code you received by text to someone you met online.
Can I show my favourite games and worlds?
Yes. Choose your interests from 40 (PC, PlayStation, Nintendo, RPGs, MMORPGs, Zelda, Pokémon, anime, cosplay…) and add the languages you speak: they appear on your profile, and you can see other members' before you write.
Who can see my profile?
Only signed-in members. Your profile never appears on the website's public pages or in search engines, and your email address or phone number is never shown. With Premium's incognito mode, you browse profiles without being seen.
Account and safety
Do the website and the app use the same account?
Yes. Sign in with the same method (email, Google, Apple or phone number): you'll find your profile, matches, conversations, posts and diamonds.
I didn't receive the confirmation email. What should I do?
First check your spam folder. If nothing arrives after a few minutes, resend the email from the sign-in page, or sign in with Google, Apple or your phone number.
How do I get the verified profile badge?
Take a selfie copying the requested gesture: it is compared with your photos. Once approved, the blue badge appears on your profile. You can also choose to see only verified profiles.
Can I search by game or by world?
There's no filter by game: everyone's interests are shown on their profile, and you set the age range and search distance. Mention a game, a franchise or a manga that matters to you in your bio: it's often the best opener for a first message.
How do I delete my account?
In Options > Delete account, on the website or in the app. Your profile, photos, posts and likes are erased. Remember to cancel any subscription from Google Play or the App Store.
Messages, diamonds and Premium
How do I send a message to a member?
If you both like each other, the chat opens for free and without limit. To write without waiting for a match, the priority message, paid in diamonds (cheaper with Premium), goes straight to their inbox.
Which languages is the website available in?
In French, English, German, Japanese, Korean and Russian, like the app. Change language at any time from the language menu.
Can I get diamonds for free?
Yes: diamonds are offered when you sign up, and in the app you earn one for each short ad video watched to the end, up to 5 a day.
What does the Premium subscription change?
Unlimited likes, Super Like, rewind, see who liked you, read receipts, priority visibility, priority messages without a match, incognito mode and bonus diamonds every month.
