Valentime Review April 2021

Signing up may take quite some time because Valentime requires you to finish a three-part registration process. Note that the dating site does not offer an option to sign up via Facebook, so everything needs to be done on-site.

The first step is to fill out the registration form that will immediately welcome you when you visit Valentime. You will need to key in your answers to the following:

1. Your gender identity and preference (man seeking woman, woman seeking man, man seeking man, woman seeking woman)
2. User name
3. Birthday
4. E-mail and password

Tick the box if you read and agree with the website’s terms and conditions before hitting “Join For Free.”

You will be redirected to the portion where you describe your ideal man or woman. There are several questions here, so you may choose to skip (and answer later), or diligently power-through each query. The “About Your Date” section will ask you to describe the type of relationship you are looking for plus your type in terms of age, marital and parental status, and physiognomy.

After completing the previous section, Valentime will ask questions about you this time. You may answer or skip questions on your status, physique, and hobbies. You will also write a short description of yourself, plus upload a photo in this section.

Once done with the questionnaires, Valentime will send a confirmation link to the email you indicated upon signing up.

Make sure to click the link to finish your registration.

As a warm welcome, Valentime gives you a freebie: 20 credits. This allows you to immediately start interacting with the members.

Once you consumed all 20, Valentime will prompt you to purchase more credits to continue the interaction.

At Valentime, you may get in touch with members through:

• Like

Arguably the world’s most popular emoji, send a thumbs up and tell a member you like what you’re seeing. Even standard members can post one so go ahead and like all those who caught your eye.

• Wink

Things are bound to get a little flirty when you send a subtle wink. This wordless interaction is available for paying and standard members alike.

• Faces

Valentime’s version of the popular swipe feature, Faces lets you appreciate the beauty of the members one-at-a-time. Click “Like” if you find the member interesting and “Skip” to move on to the next member.

• My Favourites

Keep all the members you find attractive in one place with your “My Favourites” list. That way, you won’t lose any chances because you failed to remember that one person’s user name.

• Flowers of Gifts

Since Valentime’s is an international dating site, it may be quite challenging to show your affection through gifts, right? Not at all! Visit the gift catalogue and choose a gift; for a fee, Valentime will deliver right at his or her doorstep.

• Live Chat

Valentime’s Instant Messaging feature lets you connect with members immediately. Note that this feature is only available for paying members.

• Mail

So what happens if the member is offline? Let your feelings be heard by sending a mail. You can also attach photos and videos with this paid feature.

• Contact Requests

If you want to bring your flirtation offline, you can request for the member’s contact details like their email address. This action will require a certain amount of credits.

• Meeting Requests

Since finding true love is what Valentime is all about, features that enable you to interact with a member offline are available. For instance, you can request to meet a member after repeated exchanges of chats and mails.

Given the issue on the credibility of some accounts, the move to limit standard users access to messaging is quite understandable. Since you’re required to shell out some amount first, people with malicious intent may be disheartened and backoff.

Valentime lets all of its members, paying and standard, to view complete profiles and full-sized photos of all users. 

A Valentime profile is detailed; the name and location are all featured along with the following information:

• Chat and Mail History

If you previously got in touch, the messages you sent each other will be featured in this section. Note that the chat history is only available if the user is online.

• Photos

Most of the members at Valentime prepared for their photos. Beauty shots are typical, and members upload a generous number of images you can browse in full-size. 

Members can also upload their raunchier shots in a private gallery; to view one, you’ll have to message him or her first.

• Additional Info

This section will include your answers to the “About Yourself” questions:

1. Birthday and age
2. Hair and eye colour
3. Marital and parental status
4. Religion
5. Level of education
6. Occupation
7. Vices, if any
8. Ability to speak English (beginner, intermediate, advanced, native)

Given that there are plenty of reports regarding fake profiles on Valentime, the dating site included an ID Verification feature. Members will get a verified badge once they submit a filled out form and scanned ID for verification.

Despite the efforts, we noticed several instances that made us think the reports may be accurate.

For starters, we immediately received notifications telling us that we were getting popular. Our freshly-made and bare profile received views, winks, chats, and messages in a short period.

Another thing we noticed is that there were a lot of accounts with the same name. We’ve seen multiple accounts named Olga, Maria, Anna, and Natalia. Granted, these were rather common names, but we’ve also seen our fair share of profiles for Ekaterina, Yulia, Oksana, and Svetlana. 

These may be telltale signs of bogus activity or nothing more but happy coincidences. This is why it is important to view complete profiles. This step can help check suspicious accounts which can ultimately lead to connecting with someone real.

Instead of monthly subscriptions, Valentime uses credits which act as the dating site’s currency. Almost every action on the site requires you to spend credits:

Live Chat - messaging feature is only available if a member if online.

• Sending chat stickers - 5 per sticker
• Sending chat photos - 10 per photo

• Opening video attachments - 50 per video
• Sending letters - 30 per letter

Photos and Videos

• Upload a profile video - 100 per video

Interaction with other members

• Gifts and flowers delivery - 100 per shipment
• Meeting request - 625 per request

For your convenience, Valentime offers the Automatic Top-up feature. When activated, this will monitor your credits and automatically replenishes your account when you have five credits left.
