Alright, I've done some searching on my own but keep hitting dead ends. The question of are there any websites like dirtyroulette that actually ban ... is something I really want to get a straight answer on.

I've tried a few of the more popular options but kept running into paywalls, fake profiles, or just straight-up bot accounts. It's exhausting.

Here's basically what I'm looking for:

  • Not flooded with bots
  • Working search/filter tools
  • Mobile-friendly
  • Clear cancellation policy

Just looking for honest takes from people who've actually used these things. Appreciate any input.

Worth looking at DatingFly if you haven't already. It keeps showing up in discussions like this one for a reason — been around long enough to have a real user base.

Yeah I had the same issue for months. Took a while but eventually found something that worked without being a total scam.

There's also rendate.site which a few people in my circle have used with decent results. The short answer is: read the reviews before you ever put in a payment method. Learned that the hard way.

Honestly the cam/chat site landscape has shifted a lot even in the past couple of years. Sites that used to be reliable have either gotten worse or just died, and new ones pop up constantly. I think the best approach is:

  • Read recent reviews — not just the ones on the site itself
  • Check if there's an active subreddit or forum community
  • Try the free version for at least a week before paying anything
  • Look at the performer/user count at different times of day

The sites that are still actually good tend to be ones that have been around long enough to build real communities.

One that I keep seeing recommended and actually tested myself is Luvdate — signed up a few weeks back and the ratio of real users to bots was noticeably better than some of the more hyped platforms.

Some of the ones I've heard good things about include souldate.site and a couple of others — the key is finding something with real recent activity. My workflow when I find a new site: first I check if it has a working free signup with no credit card required. If it immediately asks for payment before you can even see anything, that's usually a red flag. Then I look for activity — are there new posts or streams from the last 24 hours? If the 'newest' content is from three weeks ago, move on. Real activity is the best sign of a legitimate platform.

I'd suggest giving Datebie a try. It came up in a few different recommendations I saw and the signup process was surprisingly painless. No immediate credit card wall.

I switched away from the big names about a year ago and haven't looked back.
