Safe to join Bangbros?

Hi All,

Could some of you share their recent experience with Bangbros?

They are now offering to join through Epoch-Paypal but some older comments suggested that the credit card processor behind this link still was their in-house biller.

If some of you have joined and canceled in the past few months, I would really welcome your inputs before I decide to join or not.

Thanks ☺

This is how it's working:
If you join Bang Bros at their regular price of $29.95 without using any promos they give you the option to sign-up with Paypal/Epoch. I haven't tried it. Some of the sites that use Paypal/Epoch will only let you sign up with a Mastercard. I only have Visa. But that is how you get the Paypal/Epoch option. Use no promos.

If you use a promo of any kind it sends you to their in-house billing. I have joined it twice recently with the in-house billing and had zero problems.

They have very clear cancel links you just have to be sure and cancel everything. When I say everything I mean if you had added on any upgrades. For example: If you joined Bang Bros and added on Dancing Bear. When you go to cancel there will be Bang Bros on one line, Dancing Bear below it. You have to cancel both or they will continue to charge you for the one you didn't cancel.

They have changed their upgrade system to a worse system. Used to, they had 3 upgrade packages and each came with 10-20 sites for $19.95 each. Now, there are no packages. Every single upgrade site has to be joined separately and everyone of them are $19.95 each. Some of those have less than 20 scenes.

But as far as joining the basic Bang Bros Network, I had no problems at all. If you have joined Kink Network or Videobox, the cancellation works almost identical to those sites. My first time I jacked off, I thought I'd invented it. I looked down at my sloppy handful of junk and thought, This is going to make me rich. - Chuck Palahniuk

Thanks for your hints.

Not willing to contradict, but I would like to point out that I have been experimenting a bit with their interface and - as far as I can see - the billing processing URL is not impacted by using a promo or not.

One thing I would like to clarify though: in the past, some have reported that a simple mis-click on a video that belonged to an add-on channel was enough to start being charged for that add-on.
Could you please share your experience in this regard?

On the first part it could have to do with our locations, cookies, but if I go to Bang Bros with a promo it instantly takes me to their in-house billing page. It doesn't even take me to their preview page. It also could have to do with which promo you click. To see another site that does this try Met-Art. Most of their promos force you to echst.net billing, if you just go to Met-Art and pay full price you get CCBill. These sites with major discounts on promos use cheaper billing (their own or cheaper billers) to help make up the money they are losing on the promo.

Another tip on joining with Paypal/Epoch is to make sure you receive not only the confirmation email/receipt but to make sure it has your account details in it. Some sites using Paypal/Epoch are not connecting properly. You will receive an email receipt from Paypal but you won't have a login (sites that send automatically generated logins). Which not only means you can't sign in, you also can't look your account up on Epoch to cancel. If you run into that situation send an email to Paypal and they will fix it. It's still a hassle.

The last part you're mentioning was years ago. Bang Bros only advertises one scene from their other sites on each page of the main Bang Bros site. Used to, they had half the page filled with ads to their other sites. Those advertised scenes now have a red lock icon on it telling you it's not included. If you click it, it then requires you to agree that you want the upgrade site. My first time I jacked off, I thought I'd invented it.

They recently changed course and now allow discounts through Epoch. I just signed up using idealgasm last month for $14.95. Edited on Jun 27, 2020, 05:11pm

That I know of, Bang Bros never took their downloads away and they still include them. My first time I jacked off, I thought I'd invented it.

I was skeptical on Bangbros for several years but decided to give them a shot last month. I didn't have any issues signing up and no issues since becoming a member. Very satisfied with the content so far. Good luck!

Just wanted to say thanks to all the users who took the time to post their experiences with Bang Bros. I too am contemplating rejoining after an absence of about a year. Good to know that it appears to be OK.

This thread is a good example of what this forum is good for - sharing user experiences.

Thanks again The Collector

I haven't been a member for a while but when I was, I was very pleased with the content and thrilled with stuff they had in their archives - all downloadable, I never had problems with download limits and I never had problems cancelling when I wanted to.

I just cancelled a membership I had for a couple of months. Not a lot of great new stuff for my tastes. But as to cancelling, they steer you wrong. They keep on talking about cancelling by clicking some link at the bottom of the home page. Well, when I am logged into the site there is no cancel link at the bottom of the page. There is nothing at the bottom of the page pertaining to customer support or cancelling or anything when I'm logged in. There is a customer support link. Click on that and it tells you to click the link at the bottom of the page, which there isn't. If you click on the "cancel" button that's part of Customer Support, nothing happens at all, it's just a dead button. So the next option was to email support for the biller. I did that and I got an answer confirming my cancellation within 2 hours, though they said that the best way to cancel was to click the link at the bottom of home page, which didn't exist for me.

I just finished a membership here and had zero problems cancelling my account. Granted the cancel links were not on the bottom of the page but had to look through the menu on the left side of the page. Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
