Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, completely. Browsing listings, messaging providers, and creating an account all cost nothing. There is no credit card gate, no trial period, and no hidden "premium" tier that unlocks the real listings. If you ever land on a page that asks you for payment to see a profile, you are not on our site. The platform runs on advertising, not on charging users to look around.

Every provider on SkipTheGames.io goes through an ID check before her ad goes live. That is not a marketing line — I have rejected far more listings than I have approved. If something feels off during intake, the ad does not get posted. I cannot speak for what happens on the .com site or any of the copycats, but on .io, verification is real. If you ever spot a listing that seems suspicious — a stolen photo, a rate that does not match the market, copy that reads like a bot — report it and we will look into it.

No. You can scroll listings and read profiles anonymously without ever signing up. The only reason to create an account is if you want to message providers through the site's internal system. If you prefer to text a number directly from the ad, you never need an account at all.

They are two completely separate sites run by different people. The .com is the one you have probably seen in news stories about stings and scams. We are the .io — smaller, newer, and built specifically to avoid the problems I watched other operators create over the years. Being smaller is intentional. It means I can actually verify people, moderators respond in hours instead of weeks, and every ad gets a real human review before it goes live.

Read the full ad first. I get complaints from providers constantly about guys who ask questions that were answered in the first two sentences. When you reach out, keep it simple and respectful: "Hey, saw your ad, are you available tonight around 9?" gets far more replies than a wall of demands, a lowball offer, or an unsolicited photo. Compliment something specific from her ad so she knows you actually read it. That alone puts you ahead of most people.

Incall means you go to her — usually a private apartment or a hotel room she has booked for the day. She sets the location and gives you the address once a time is locked in. Outcall means she comes to you, either at your place or at a hotel you book. Most providers charge more for outcall because of travel time, and many have a list of hotels they will not visit for safety reasons. Do not take that personally — it is a screening decision. If the ad does not specify which she offers, just ask politely.

Honest answer: it depends on where you are. Companionship, dinner dates, and time-based bookings are legal in most places. Anything that crosses into solicitation gets complicated fast, and the specifics change from state to state and even city to city. In Ohio, solicitation is a third-degree misdemeanor. In Nevada, licensed brothels exist. In New York, the law shifted a few years ago. The best advice I can give: never discuss money-for-specific-acts in writing, anywhere, on any platform. Whatever happens once two consenting adults are in a room is between them. Learn your local laws before you meet — that part is on you.

Reverse image search the photos — if they look too polished, they might be stolen. If the rate is way below everyone else in that market, be suspicious. If she wants a "deposit" via gift cards, crypto, or CashApp before you have even confirmed a time, walk away. Nobody legitimate is asking for Steam cards. If the same ad with the same wording and photo has been running across multiple states for weeks, that is a red flag. On .io we actively clean those out, but the habits above will protect you on any site.

You can never know for certain, on any site, anywhere. That is exactly why you never talk about money-for-specific-acts in a message. Keep communication friendly and non-explicit. Verify what you can, use common sense, and trust your gut. On our end, verifying providers helps a lot, but no site can promise you a zero-risk environment. Anyone who claims they can is lying.

Message support with details and screenshots if you have them. We take reports seriously and have delisted providers over legitimate complaints. That said, "bad" usually means a communication mismatch that could have been avoided by reading the ad more carefully — so start there. If something genuinely wrong happened, report it and we will act on it.

We add cities as we get verified providers in them. If your area is not up yet, try ChickTok — it is a sister platform that covers some of the gaps and reaches into surrounding regions a single-city page might miss.

Daily. Big markets like LA, Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, and NYC turn over multiple times a day. Smaller cities are slower, but there is usually something new every week. This is not the kind of site where the same 40 ads sit untouched for six months.

In spirit, yes — the "tell me who is around and let me handle it from there" attitude is the part worth keeping. In execution, way cleaner and way safer. What we ditched is the malware, the scam ads, and the total lack of moderation. The goal is the simplicity of the old classifieds without the chaos that came with them.

There are a few floating around — Escort Alligator, various regional boards, a couple sugar-dating sites like What's Your Price. Most of them either charge you, do not moderate anything, or are riddled with scams. SkipTheGames.io is the free-and-actually-moderated combination, which is rarer than it should be.

Confirm the appointment the day of — a quick "Still on for 8?" is perfect. Shower, brush your teeth, and wear something you did not sleep in. Bring the donation in an envelope and set it somewhere visible without making a ceremony of it — do not hand it over and do not count it in front of her. Do not negotiate the rate; if you cannot afford her, book someone whose rate you can. Text if you are going to be late, even if it is only five minutes. Tip when the experience is great — word travels. And never try to renegotiate mid-appointment; she will leave and you will end up on lists you do not want to be on.

Showing up empty-handed on a first visit and asking for everything under the sun. Sending three paragraphs of demands in an opening text. Arguing rates. Bringing a buddy who "just wants to watch" without asking. Ghosting after saying you are coming — providers keep shared no-show lists and your number will end up on them. Any one of these gets you politely blocked. Multiple of them gets your number passed around in group chats you will never be invited to.

Because the whole point is to skip the nonsense — the small talk, the dating-app roulette, the fake profiles, the three-week texting conversations before anyone commits to coffee. It does not mean skip the manners. You still need to be a decent person, show up when you say you will, and treat providers with respect. The games we are skipping are the time-wasting ones, not the basic human decency ones.
