Creating your account

Signing up for SpiceMatch takes about a minute. You do not need a card to start, because the free tier works without one. Here is what the sign-up asks for, why, and what to do right after.

What you need

To create an account with email you need:

• An email address you can open. Email me a link is the default passwordless sign-up.
• Your date of birth. You must be 18 or older, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher.

Where the sign-up screen offers them, you can continue with Google, X, or Discord instead. If Prefer a password? Use one instead appears, you may choose a password signup. No phone number or card is required for the free tier. Some regions require a separate third-party age check before adult content becomes available.

The age confirmation

At sign-up everyone confirms their date of birth and acknowledges that the service contains adult content. No adult content shows before you pass that step. This is not optional and it is not a checkbox you can skip.

In some places the law goes further than a self-reported birth date. In US states and countries whose rules require a commercial age check, there is an extra verification step through a third-party provider before any adult content is viewable. We figure out which rule applies from your IP address. If you are in one of those regions, see how age verification works for what to expect. If you are not, the birth-date confirmation is all you do.

Choosing a username

You pick a display name for the app. It does not have to be your real name, and we would suggest it is not. Your companions never know your real identity. Using a handle keeps it that way and keeps your account separate from anything else you do online.

What happens after sign-up

Once your account is created, you land in the app and can start matching immediately. Swipe through the roster, match with a few companions, and open a chat. You have 10 free chats a day to start, no card needed.

If you want photos, video, or more chat headroom later, you add credits or a subscription from the account area. You will see every price at checkout before you confirm. Card checkout runs through CCBill and crypto checkout runs through ATLOS; checkout shows the processor and card-statement descriptor before you pay.

Keeping your account secure

A few habits that help:

• Keep your email or connected social account secure because it controls access to SpiceMatch.
• If you choose the optional password method, use a unique password that you do not use elsewhere.
• Do not share your login. Your account, your chats, and any credits or subscription are tied to it.

If you ever cannot log in, the login problems guide walks through the usual fixes. If you want to remove your account entirely, see how to delete your account, which explains exactly what gets erased.

You must be 18+ to create an account. Accounts found to belong to minors are terminated.
