The business of credit cards may be one of the most lucrative in the world. Everyone owns one and uses it to make a variety of purchases. And when it comes to shopping online, including purchasing adult sites, nearly 75% of the population does it - and, of course, you need a credit card to do it.
In large part, this is exactly why RabbitsReviews exists. In the early days, with so many shady practices going on, Rabbit (the founder) wanted to create a space where people could get honest, unbiased reviews of adult sites that took credit card security seriously.
Online ordering became popular around the mid-’90s and some of the first CC transactions were porn sites. Unfortunately, security was not what it is today and many sites took advanporn/tage of this. But you can feel safe knowing that all of the websites listed on RR will keep your information secure so you can feel good while browsing.
The first concept of a credit card can be found in a book from 1887 called Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy. Although his concept was a little different (it was more about spending a citizen's dividend from the government rather than borrowing), he still called it a credit card.
In the early 20th century, different iterations of cards existed. In 1958, Bank of America launched the Bank Americard in Fresno, California, which would become the first successful and recognizable modern credit card. It is doubtful they ever imagined that people would eventually be buying pornographic material with them.
A common practice among porn sites when using your credit card is cross-sales. These are often with the terms and conditions checkbox so they can be hard to see sometimes. If checked, they add another adult site or some kind of perk to your membership - always at an additional cost.
Some cross-sales are automatically checked off by default, so it is important to uncheck them if you are uninterested in the offer. One of the great things about Rabbit’s Reviews is that our reviews will indicate if a site has any and whether or not they are pre-checked.
Also, be patient if you are getting long load times after hitting submit. You run the risk of being charged multiple times. Be patient and let your purchase get processed. If something went wrong, you will get an error page, but likely will not have been charged for anything.
Depending on your situation, you may want to keep your porn purchases private . It is something everyone can appreciate and a reputable site will cater to that. So, you will be billed under a generic name that usually has the name of the biller somewhere in the charge. You might see a reference number, too.
Still, sometimes the charge can be a little obvious. For example, on a cam site like Chaturbate , which takes care of its own billing, it shows up as “CHATURBILL.” Anyone with even a passing knowledge of that popular live cam platform will know what it is for.
Got a prepaid credit card? These are cards that are designed to use once, say on a big item, or until the balance is gone. In fact, they are the same as a VISA or Mastercard gift card that you can prefill. Just take note that they will not work with recurring subscriptions.
Using a prepaid card is exactly like using a regular credit card. Make sure you’re selecting the credit card option when making a purchase and enter the CC number and expiry date as usual. This is not to be confused with the gift card option that some sites offer.
This is the million-dollar question: Is my credit card information safe on a porn site? If you are joining any of the hundreds listed on Rabbit’s, then the answer is a resolute yes. We only list safe and secure paysites and if we ever discover anything even remotely suspicious, we will delist them.
If you want more reassurance, you can usually find information about how a site keeps you secure on the join page. In the case of Team Skeet , they use a 256-bit SSL encryption designed to protect all digital data, including credit card details, on a website.
If you have American Express, you are sadly out of luck. Back in 2000, after what they called “an unacceptably high level of customer disputes,” they decided to stop working with the adult industry. It is a shame they have yet to reverse that policy considering how much safer porn sites have become since then.
However, there is a workaround. While the sites do not directly accept AMEX cards, they do accept PayPal . Just link your card to your PayPal account and you are good to go.
Among all the billers available to you, three stand out from the rest and are the most well-known among users.
While they all have a good reputation, CCBill and Epoch are the two most commonly seen on the join page. They both accept all major credit cards, while Epoch also takes PayPal, and have a proven track record of secure payments and excellent customer support should you require any assistance, including cancellations.
First, if something looks suspicious, trust your instincts. If a site is using a biller you do not recognize, do a quick Google search. If they are a reputable company, you will likely find resources confirming that. If not, expect angry reviews and comments from users who have been burned.
But what do you do if you think you have truly been scammed? Well, do not panic. Call your bank, explain that you think you have purchased something fraudulent and they will likely reverse the charge, cancel the card and issue you a new one. Also, let us know. We can help, too, so do not hesitate to get in touch with our support team.
If you happen to have that little golden piece of plastic, you can use it to unlock a world of pornography. Trust RabbitReviews to give you peace of mind when you are buying a membership to a site we list. Plus, we are always hooking you up with porn discounts, so make sure to take advanporn/tage of those, too.
