Credit cards for adult age check A number of "free" sites ask for credit card details as an age verifier, claiming that it is for a zero amount and that your credit card will never be debited or charged. I have always been wary of putting my credit card details on such sites, but I am wondering if anyone else has had either negative or positive experiences of these sites and card verification. While I am always aware that quality etc is never as good at free sites, I am tempted to join just as another string to my porn surfing bow so I would welcome comments. | |

I would be very reluctant to go with that. Do you really want to trust them with your credit card details?? Sure I do use my CC online, but only through known & trusted outlets.

Ah, I've been waiting for this to start happening. As noted in the "Free Speech and Porn" Thread, other countries routinely require age verification before allowing access to adult sites over cell phones. Since there is no central age verification clearing house, most businesses use credit cards since not many minors have their own cards. Sounds like some of this may finally be trickling down into the standard internet world here in the US. In any case, I would be leery if the card processor is not well known the same way I would be leery of signing up for a pay site. They'll still have access to your card info even though they're not charging you. I'll leave it up to you to make the final decision not knowing the name of the card clearing company. | |

Giving out credit card information is a dangerous game. I think we all have had an occasional billing problem with sites we know something about. I can't imagine trusting free sites. Who are they? Where do I read comments from others as we do here on PU? Are they stealing content from pay sites? If so, they cannot be trusted with my money. | |

Totally agree and this is the whole reason why I join PAY sites and rarely browse free ones. You can go to a pay site with a reputable cc processor and feel somewhat comfortable giving out your information. To me, forking over some money for this security is worth it in the long run. While of course, certain cc processors and sites are still shady but as mbaya said, that's why we have PU. Sexted From My iPad | |

I've never joined a "free" site that required credit card information. I don't believe the law (U.S. or international) requires a credit card as proof of age to enter a porn site. It's a requirement some sites make, and I think it's too risky to give that information to sites I know little about, or to payment processors I know little about. | |

I've done that for a porn dvd retailer before. I was going to give the credit card info to them to order some dvds, so what's the big deal giving it to them earlier? As for the topic of this thread, I would never give my credit card information to "free" websites. All porn websites exist to make money. Either way there are plenty of better places to hang out that on those types of "free" sites. They don't produce anything anyways, so not sure what's tempting you to get inside. | |

Thanks for that, and everyone else who has replied. It merely confirms my opinion that I will continue my policy of never giving out my credit card details to sites such as these. Sometimes I have been tempted by a free site offer, but in this world you get what you pay for, and I feel a lot happier going for sites in which I have a particular interest and with a reputable cc processor. I appreciate the comments from all who have responded to the thread. | |
