About Friends with Benefits
A UK community for adults who want no-strings arrangements, running since 2011.
Join freeSince 2011
Friends with Benefits started in 2011 to give UK adults a straightforward place to find casual, no-strings connections. Fifteen years on, the idea has not changed: members say what they want up front, and nobody has to pretend to be looking for something else.
Some members want an ongoing arrangement with one person, others something more occasional. Either way, you set the pace: browse, wink or message when it suits you.
What you can do here
- Build a full profile and browse members for free.
- Get daily match suggestions based on distance, age range and what each of you is after.
- Send winks and a limited number of messages each day on a free Classic account.
- Post status updates and photos, comment on articles and join the polls.
- Upgrade to VIP for unrestricted messaging, advanced search filters and the members-only chat rooms.
Everything each tier includes is on the features page, and the prices are on pricing.
How we look after members
Every photo, video and piece of text is screened as it is uploaded, by AI and by human moderators, and unusual activity is picked up before it reaches you. ID verification is free and earns a Blue Tick; if you would rather not share documents, a moderator can verify you on a live video call instead.
If someone tries to move your chat to WhatsApp or another app, you get a warning, because that is a common scam tactic. Our support team is human and works 24/7 by chat, phone and messaging, and we are involved with the Online Dating and Discovery Association on industry safety standards. More on the safety page.
Privacy and discretion
Your real name and email address are never shown publicly. Your profile shows your nearest town or city, never your address. Membership is billed discreetly in GBP, and you can block anyone in one click.
Members live in towns and cities right across the UK, and you can browse them by place on our locations page. Australian members have their own site at friendswithbenefits.com.au.
