Here is the age picture for UK members.
Members in the UK, by age group, as shares.
What changes when you join from the UK
- Pounds
- Prices are shown in pounds and US dollars. The pricing page lists every plan and marks the ones that renew.
- 18 and over
- That is the minimum age. Nobody under 18 may appear in any photo or content.
- UK refund wording
- The member terms give UK subscribers their own refund wording, so read it before you pay.
A first meet that goes your way
- Say you're local. Tick Local Only if you want someone close by, and Available This Weekend if your diary is open. Other members see only your nearest town or city, never an address.
- Search by place. VIP members can filter by city and distance, so you skip people hours away.
- Settle it in chat. Agree what you both want and what protection you'll use before you fix a time. The NHS says consent can be withdrawn at any time.
- Meet somewhere busy. Tell a friend the place and time, and book your own way home.
Still choosing between apps? The comparisons line us up beside the big names, and the features page lists what each level adds.
Where can you get tested in the UK?
- The NHS says sexual health clinics are open to everyone at no charge and keep visits confidential. You usually don't need a GP referral or an appointment (contact the clinic first), and you needn't give your real name.
- It also says that after unprotected sex an STI may need up to 7 weeks to show on a test, and that with no symptoms the best plan is to wait the full 7.
- Scotland's NHS inform gives 2 weeks after sex for chlamydia and gonorrhoea on home tests. The Terrence Higgins Trust gives 45 days for HIV tests at a clinic or lab and 90 days for self-tests.
- Brook suggests raising condoms early and asking plainly whether the other person uses them, or saying you will.
The safer sex and STI testing guide covers the rest.
Who to tell if a chat feels wrong
If something feels wrong, the advice from the UK government's Stop Think Fraud campaign and the National Crime Agency is to break contact, pay nothing and share nothing more. Already paid? Tell your bank or payment provider at once, then report it:
- Report Fraud, the national centre that replaced Action Fraud (announced in December 2025): reportfraud.police.uk or 0300 123 2040.
- Police Scotland: 101.
- Citizens Advice takes online scam reports and passes them to Trading Standards.
Threatened with your own images? For adults in the UK facing intimate image abuse, the Revenge Porn Helpline offers advice and help to get shared content taken down: 0345 6000 459, 10am to 4pm, Monday to Friday, not bank holidays. Its sextortion advice is stop, block, report, don't pay. With StopNCII.org, your own device makes a digital fingerprint of the images, so they never leave it, and participating platforms use it to find and remove matches.
The safety page covers blocking and reporting on the site.
UK questions, answered
Is there a no strings dating site for the UK?
Yes. No Strings Dating takes members aged 18 or over, and members include people in and around Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, London and Manchester. Everyone starts on Classic, and VIP is the level for messaging without limits.
What does it cost in the UK?

Can I cancel or get a refund in the UK?
You can cancel through Support or the chat bot, and what you have paid for runs to the end of the period. Refunds are the exception: the terms treat purchases as final unless the law provides otherwise, and say the 14-day cooling-off period does not apply to UK subscribers.
