RussianBrides.com review

The online dating website RussinaBrides.com specializes in finding dates for men who like women from Russia. Already on the starting page, we can see plenty of profile previews of Russian women waiting to meet their perfect match. One woman looks better than the other. The quality of the pictures and the appearance of the models make us sceptical.

We start our investigation to find some more background information about the dating website RussianBrides.com. The first thing we learn is that the company has invested over a million dollars on security and has one of the strictest policies when it comes to verifying their women. This sounds great but is in total contrast to many negative reports and statements on the net. Former users are reporting moderated chats and faked profiles on this dating platform. Our first look at the terms and conditions tells us that the operator behind the Russian dating website is BATTIKA SIA based in Latvia, Riga.

We start our research by collecting some simple facts first. The website visitors are mainly from the United Kingdom, the US, Algeria, Netherlands, and Australia. The site has about, 12000 unique daily visitors. It claims to have over 25000 Ukrainian and Russian women looking for foreign men to mingle and chat with. Signing up takes only a minute or two, and you can register with one-click by linking your Google account. Unfortunately, the site does not offer a Facebook sign up. One negative thing is that the dating portal does not request an email verification, which means that the members are unchecked.

Even if the landing page does not look very impressive and stylish, the operator BATTIKA SIA from Latvia, Riga, has made some effort on the appearance of the main page. The layout is organized, has a superior design and is easy to use. The member’s pictures look very professional, even a little bit too professional for our taste.

Making contact with other members

The website offers many features to contact members from their huge database. However, most of them are only available after you have upgraded your membership. The website offers three free emails per day, and “Let’s Mingle” can be used for free every 24 hours. We do more in-depth research on the internet, and at the end, we find quite many complaints and bad testimonies from former members of the dating portal. Some claim that there are plenty of faked profiles in the database. Some argue that the website is operating moderated chats, and others wrote that they got ripped off by women asking for presents and money.

To be honest, almost all women on the portal look like model material, and this makes us think there is something fishy going on. It seems to be true that several agencies are faking the female profiles to get more attention. Interestingly, the fact that members still need to report suspicious activities and scams is funny because the operator advertises his anti-scam policy proudly.
