BDSMAmerica
The brand name covers a whole country, and the footer then cuts it into ten doors. A column headed “Dating In America” lists Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Texas, Virginia and Washington, each one its own page, and Google promotes four of those states to sitelinks under the site’s own result. Under the headline on the front page sits the line “Contact bondage and fetish lovers local to you!”, so the obvious question is how far local stretches.
What The Site Is Selling
The split between the two tiers is written into section 2 of the terms. A Member who has not paid gets “some but not all of the features and functionality of the Service”, and “the ability to communicate with other Members” is what the terms attach to a Subscriber. Registering and filling in a profile costs nothing.
The front page sells six things above that line: secure messaging, a claim about members, clubs and events, a live video chatroom, a locations directory and member blogs. The member side runs on a separate address, app.bdsmamerica.com, and nothing past the five step signup wizard is visible from outside.

Ten States, And What They Say About Members
This brand prints no member total. The closing block says “BDSM America has thousands of new members joining every single month”, and that sentence is as precise as the number gets.
What can be counted instead is the furniture. Ten states have a page of their own, the Arizona one headed “Arizona’s Kinkiest BDSM Dating Club!” with its own “REGISTER FREE NOW!” button. The row of faces on the front is headed “Recently Joined Members” and carries no places at all, and the domain itself dates to 2017.
What The Lander Looks Like
Open the third and the fourth. The third is the closing copy beside a map of the United States with member photographs pinned across it, over a footer of two columns: state pages on one side, five other niche brands on the other. The fourth is the six feature panels, “100% Real Members” among them with its moderation sentence underneath. The first two shots are the lander itself and the member login screen, and the wordmark at the top of both reads American BDSM.
What It Costs To Message Anyone
No amount is shown anywhere outside an account. The pricing and packages addresses both 404, and the upgrade address simply asks for a username and password, so the figure stays where the terms put it, on “the payment page” that a registered account reaches.
How the charge behaves is written down even where the amount is not. Renewal runs on by default: “your Subscription may continue indefinitely until it is cancelled by you”, billed “at the same rate that you signed up for using the original payment method”. Trials renew too, at “the standard non-discounted Subscription rate” rather than at the trial rate. Your card is kept on file as what the terms call a “stored credential”, with consent taken at the first payment, and section 23 treats Super Match and Boosts as a second kind of purchase alongside the subscription.
Stopping it is described in two places and not in the same way. The terms point at Support or at a chat bot, and say the request is answered with “an email with a link to the Membership Cancellation process”. On the billing side the route given is a Membership settings page within the account, and for phone billing the number 89595 takes the word STOP. That billing site is vodfunpay.com, and its own heading asks why a bank statement carries a charge for vodfunpay.com.
What We Checked On Their Pages
A state page is the front page with the state written into it. The Arizona one is titled “Arizona BDSM | Fetish & Bondage Dating In Arizona”, runs the H1 “Arizona’s Kinkiest BDSM Dating Club!”, relabels the teaser row “Fetish Lovers From Arizona” and drops the state name into the Clubs & Events and Locations panels. It carries no count, no town list, and the same “100% Real Members” panel the homepage runs.
The second footer row is not internal at all. Those five labels resolve to swingersamerica.com, americanthreesomes.com, americancrossdressers.com, cuckoldsamerica.com and americanbisexuals.com, five separate domains. The swingers one runs the same front, the same six panels and a footer that links back here, and it credits a different company, Arnaze Online Limited.
Four of the six front page panels promise things the paperwork never describes. Across the terms, the terms summary, the privacy policy, the complaints policy, the 2257 statement, the modern slavery statement and the child protection policy, the words club, blog and forum return nothing at all. “Chat room” appears once, in a data retention table, as “Chat room messages | 3 months from posting of message”. The public clubs, events, chat, locations, blogs and forums paths each return 404.
A profile here is not promised to stay on this one site. In the summary document, under a heading reading “Dating Network”, comes the line “Your profile may be visible on these other services in addition to this one”. Section 16 repeats the point in upper case: content you submit “MAY BE VISIBLE AND SEARCHABLE TO USERS OF THE SERVICE WHO MAY BE ACCESSING THE SAME SERVICE FROM OTHER SERVICES OPERATED BY THE COMPANY.”
Refunds have a section of their own, last updated March 2025, opening “Generally, all purchases are final and non-refundable”. Twelve US states are listed by name, with Israel, and those subscribers may cancel “at any time prior to midnight of the third business day following the date you subscribed”. Under its own heading “For subscribers residing in the EU, EEA, UK, and Switzerland:” the document says instead: “We operate an instant-access digital product and therefore the 14-day cooling-off period does not apply. There are no exceptions.” It ends with “All refunds will be subject to an administration charge”. How much that charge comes to is not written down.
Asked On The Way In
What is BDSMAmerica.com?
It is a BDSM, fetish and bondage dating site aimed at an American audience, on a domain registered since September 2017. The front page calls itself “America’s hottest alternative lifestyle community” and the wizard lists four account types: Female, Male, Couple and CD/TV/TS. You can sign up and fill in a profile without paying, and the terms put conversation on the paid tier.
The footer credits the site to VodFun Limited and links that name through to vodfunpay.com. Across all twenty five numbered sections the operator is never identified by name, and the privacy policy holds back the identity of your data controller until an account exists. The member area sits on app.bdsmamerica.com rather than on the main domain, with HubPeople supplying the machinery underneath.
Does BDSM America have members in my state?
Nobody outside an account can see a roll call, but the product’s own structure answers part of it. Ten states have a landing page: Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Texas, Virginia and Washington. Every other state has none, and the ten pages are the home page with the state name dropped into the title, the headline, the teaser heading and the Clubs and Events and Locations panels.
None of those pages carries a figure, a city list or anything else that differs between them beyond the state name. The signup wizard asks five things, and a location is not among them, so where you are is something the account collects later rather than something the door asks for. Four of the ten states are promoted by Google as sitelinks under the brand’s own search result, which is how people land on a state page without choosing one.
Is BDSMAmerica legit?
The checkable facts are these. Registration of the domain dates to 19 September 2017 and runs to September 2027. The footer names an operator and links it to a billing domain, while the documents themselves name nobody, and the privacy policy defers the data controller’s identity until after signup. The only email address printed across its legal documents is info@vodfunpay.com, in the child protection policy.
Two things in the paperwork are worth reading before anyone decides. The 2257 statement closes with “The records required pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 2257 and C.F.R. 75 are kept by the custodian of records listed below”, and the page then ends with nobody listed under it. The complaints policy offers four reporting routes, one of them “Via Telephone: Speak with one of the team members available 24/7”, and no telephone number is printed on that page or on any of the other documents. Complaints are promised a resolution “within five (5) business days”.
The front page says “100% Real Members”. What does its own paperwork say about profiles?
The claim runs under that heading, verbatim: “Our moderation team reviews every single photo and personal video added to the site 24/7 flushing out the fakes and scammers as they go.” The heading says members. The sentence beneath it describes review of photos and personal videos.
The same panel appears on swingersamerica.com, which this site links from its own footer, and there the sentence reads “every single profile, photo and video”. Two sentences from the same operator, under the same heading, one of them carrying the word profile and one not. That is the whole of the comparison.
Pulling the other way, the round the clock half of the claim is backed for content in two further documents. The modern slavery statement describes “a dedicated Customer Support & Moderation department who work 24/7” using automated screening, behaviour analysis, machine learning and human moderation, and the 2257 statement says content is moderated with “a combination of AI and human processes”. Neither of them says a profile is authenticated.
What does BDSM America cost, and what name shows on a bank statement?
There is no figure to read from outside. Every public pricing address returns a 404, the upgrade link asks for a login, and the terms say only that you pay “the relevant Subscription fee that is shown on the payment page”, which sits inside the account. A one off layer runs alongside the subscription: section 23 treats Super Match and Boosts as separate purchases and says they cannot be refunded in part “regardless of the quantity used or remaining”.
On a statement, the name to watch for is the one the footer hyperlinks, not the brand over the door. The operator credit points at vodfunpay.com, and that page is built around exactly this question, its heading reading “Why does my bank statement have a charge for vodfunpay.com?” An example statement panel, an email lookup form and a US telephone number sit on it, none of them anywhere on BDSM America itself, whose front page makes no promise either way about statements.
What does a free account get you here?
You get listed and you get to look. The paid side is defined in section 2 of the terms: free registration delivers “some but not all of the features and functionality of the Service”, while the right “to communicate with other Members” is attached to a Subscriber who has paid a fee. From the billing side the upgrade is listed as “unrestricted message options, access to all media, unlimited photo uploads, private chat in the chatrooms, appearing high in search results and access to enhanced search features”.
Looking is what the free side is sold as. The homepage says that once registration is done “you’ll be viewing all the other members personal fetish adverts in just a couple of minutes”. What an unpaid account sees when mail arrives, whether a notification shows at all or a preview opens, is a detail their paperwork leaves out, and it reads the same whichever state page you came in through.
Who Was On Your State Page
Did anyone turn up on the state page you came in through, or was the map on the front the extent of the geography? If your state has no page of its own, what did the search hand you instead, and how far out did it reach? The line under the headline offers bondage and fetish lovers local to you, and a member is the only person who can say what local turned out to mean. Vote below, and name the state in a comment.
