How old do I need to be to use the chat?
Check the site terms and age requirements before joining. Younger users should not enter adult-oriented public chat spaces.
The short answer
You should check the current site terms and policies for the controlling age requirement before joining. Public chat involves conversations with strangers and is not suitable for children. Do not misrepresent your age to enter a space whose rules exclude you, and do not encourage a younger person to bypass safeguards.
What this means in practice
Age limits are only one part of protection. Never post an exact birth date, school name, uniform, class schedule, home address, phone number, identity document, or live location. An adult asking a young person to keep secrets, move immediately to a private app, send images, or accept money is a serious warning sign.
A simple way to proceed
- Review the community guidelines, privacy policy, and any current terms shown by the service before using the chat.
- Keep age-related and location details general. Do not use a nickname containing a birth year, school, or neighbourhood.
- Report grooming, sexual requests, threats, or attempts to obtain private images through the abuse reporting process.
Important boundaries
A platform report is not an emergency service. If a child or any person appears to face immediate danger, contact the appropriate local emergency service or safeguarding authority. Chat being free for guests and registered users does not remove age rules, safety duties, or the need for careful adult judgment.
One more practical point
Adults in mixed public spaces also have safeguarding responsibilities. Do not ask younger-looking users for private contact, images, secrecy, or personal details. Avoid trying to investigate them yourself. Use the platform reporting route and provide factual context so the appropriate people can review the situation without increasing the person’s exposure.
Use the room with confidence
Whatever access option you choose, begin with ordinary conversation and sensible boundaries. The free chat page explains the no-payment model, while secure chat covers practical habits for safer participation. You can also review is chat safe and the detailed online chat safety guide.
Respect is part of access. Follow the community guidelines, accept when somebody does not want to answer, and avoid repeated messages. If serious misconduct occurs, use how to report abuse. For information about data handling, read the privacy policy.
The goal is straightforward: enjoy conversation without giving strangers control over your money, identity, device, or private life. A calm pace and clear boundaries make the experience better for you and for the wider room.
