Loverium

Loverium.com – very unusual dating site. Its creators claim that they were guided primarily by user convenience, so they do not require a real name, allow you to put any avatars and remain anonymous in correspondence.

But how does such an approach affect security? And is it even trustworthy? Is it possible that Loverium is a scam? Let’s try to find out.

 

 

Why Loverium

Site Design loverium.comIt is, to put it mildly, unimpressive: it looks like an old ad site. And at first glance, you just don’t know where to start. However, if you look more closely, you can find many useful features of the resource:

• Different display of user pages in search (based on your preferences) – either a popup or a full screen page. It’s easy to navigate, compare, and select candidates.
• Screening active users. If you open the corresponding section, you will see only those who are regularly on the site, and you won’t waste extra time on “dead” pages.
• In case of rudeness, harassment and other problems, the administration quickly reacts and blocks the account of the offender.
• It is possible to earn, for example, by translating a given text of the site in another language.
• The administration introduces new options, guided by the wishes of customers. On the “Support” page you can not only write about a problem or ask a question, but also submit an idea. If it is voted for, the new feature will be sent to development. We haven’t seen anything like this on any dating site yet.

The service does not limit you to finding a partner for a serious or easy relationship (flirting, intimacy) – if you want and are lucky enough, you can find friends, dancing partners, fellow travelers. Yes, loverium.com really stands out from other services. Also note that the resource has been accredited by Roskomnadzor and the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation. That is, it operates absolutely legally.

How to register at loverium.com

Registration for loverium.com starts with the standard form. Specify an email address, make up a username and password, confirm that we are not a robot using captcha (just check the box).

 

And after a few seconds of waiting (the system needs time to process all the data) we find ourselves in a private office. We are not asked to confirm anything (not even the email we entered) at this stage.

Personal Cabinet of Loverium

The Loverium Personal Cabinet consists of several blocks:

• “All about me”. Filling out a questionnaire (personal information, short information about you, personal preferences), and viewing the page in guest mode and confirming your identity.
• “My Photos – Gallery.
• “My Listings. You can place an offer or news, as well as take advantage of all the selection settings, like on Avito (getting into the VIP zone, highlighting, pinning, etc.).
• “My Finance. Account replenishment and expense summary.
• “How to earn on our site. Ways to get money (virtual rubles, which act as the main currency of the site).
• “Serious Actions. Password change and account deletion.

From the top menu, you can navigate to the list of dialogs (“Messages”) and ads. Searching is done by pressing the “People” button in the resource’s header. Displaying of profiles, as we have already mentioned, is available in two modes:

• In the first case, a window will pop up when you open the person’s profile, but the search will not go anywhere, and you will easily get back to where you left off.
• The second will open a new page, you will see more information.

The search filter is a selection of candidates by age, height, weight, photo presence, confirmation, date of registration and keyword (“the form contains”).

 

An important point: the filter does not always work. For example, when I searched for men between the ages of 25 and 35, it gave out all of them. Plus almost half of the pages gave out a 404 error when trying to open them.

Loverium mobile app

Loverium plans to develop a mobile application to find the site from mobile devices. However, for now only for Android. There is already a link to Google Play store from the site, but a 404 error (non-existent page) pops up when you go to it. Let’s hope that everything will work properly soon.

 

Additional services Loverium.com

At Loverium you can:

• Create an ad in one of the categories (Serious Relationships, Travel & Companions, Flirting & Networking, Dance Partners, Friends & Friendship, Work & Dating, LGBT Dating) to attract attention. People will see your text, go to your page and write to you if they are interested in the offer.
• Earn money by participating in affiliate (referral) program (we will talk about it later) or by translating the content of the resource in other languages (the administration chooses the best option from the proposed by all and pays the author of the text).
• Send out messages.
• Read useful articles about relationships, wedding planning, psychology, etc.

All of the above are free. But there are paid options as well:

• Gifts (in Loverium not only virtual presents (pictures), but also real money). Your balance is already replenished by a certain amount after registration, and for its increase the means of earning are provided.
• Placement in the VIP zone (displayed on all pages of the site in the upper right corner). Costs 190 rubles.

 

Payment also solves the issue of identity confirmation. You pay any (even a tiny) amount to the balance, so that the system checks your details, their compliance with the declared registration data (name, region). In general, we found this proposal a bit strange. Passing the procedure allows your profile to be displayed if the person checked the “Only confirmed users” box in the filter when searching.

Help of a psychologist

The help of a psychologist is available on the site. In general, there is no direct communication with representatives of the company – only sending suggestions and requests in special forms of the “Support” section.

Tests

As partner selection on loverium.com is carried out according to 9 parameters (sex, country of residence, age, height, weight, photo availability, confirmation, tags in the description text, date of registration), there is no bias towards psychological compatibility here. This means that there are no tests of any kind.

Compatibility analysis

There is also no compatibility analysis on the platform. As we said, partner selection comes down to screening on the basis of basic external data and location.

 

How to start online dating at Loverium

You have two options to start dating on loverium.com:

• Open the person’s profile and choose one of the actions: make a gift, leave a comment on the page, or write in an online chat.
• Go to “Ads” and, by specifying the appropriate category, read the ads. If someone interests you, you can go to their page and proceed as described in step 1.

Everything further will be determined by the specific situation and your aspirations.

 

Filling out a dating profile at loverium.com

Dating questionnaire on loverium.com, in addition to uploading photos, includes several more blocks. In “Personal Data” you specify the phone number (optional field), language, name, gender, date of birth, height, weight, country, region of residence.

In “A few words about yourself” you place a free text of 10 to 150 characters (spaces are taken into account). And the operator advises not to waste space on describing a potential partner – there are ads for that. In addition, swearing, advertising and pornographic (erotic) descriptions are prohibited.

 

No more information is needed. Generally, user’s characteristics are the weak point of the site. Of course, you can specify keywords in search (for example, if someone requests a selection of profiles where the description includes “cheerful”, he will see our profile, because we used this epithet in “Some words about myself”), but on appearance, profession, income level here emphasis is obviously not put.

Online chat for communication

Dialogs open in a separate window. On the left side is a list of available chats (incoming messages and those created by you), on the right side is a text input field. The so-called emotions, or emoticons, in simple terms, are available. It is not possible to attach files. It is convenient that the status of the user (online/offline) is displayed directly in the dialog.

Tips for communicating on the site

Since loverium.com users are not obliged to check, specify their real names and photos, it is a paradise for all kinds of swindlers. That’s why we recommend to follow some simple rules in order not to get cheated:

• Try not to delay responding to messages if this is your first contact. Many people don’t like to wait, and dialogues with them are disrupted simply because they haven’t heard back within a couple of hours.
• Read carefully what the person has written about himself. This will eliminate unnecessary candidates (alphonists, one-night stand seekers, etc.).
• Do not tell personal things about yourself until you have met the person. Abusers are good at pressing pain points, gaining trust, and using weaknesses to achieve desired goals.
• Ask the person for a social networking profile. This will give at least some opportunity to see what he really is. Often even this request itself shows bad intentions and excessive secrecy. Of course, this should not be done on the first day of acquaintance (such requests scare you, make you think twice), but when contact has been established.
• When arranging a meeting, choose a crowded place and not too late. No one is safe from attack, and dating sites are often used by sociopaths to find victims.

 

Loverium Bonuses

The Loverium bonus program is somewhat similar to the starting package of the casino. There is money to the account, and cashback for recharging. Let’s take a closer look at how much and under what conditions we are offered.

Money for registration

As soon as you pass registration, 40 rubles (or analogue of this sum in other c.u.s.) will “drop” on your balance. Enrollment will be reflected in the history available when you click on “Balance” in the upper right corner next to your avatar. There are no spending and wagering requirements like in the gambling environment. But only enough money for a couple of gifts – you can’t buy accommodation in the VIP area for them.

 

Cashback on top-up

To get a cashback, you need to deposit a certain amount:

• For 200 rubles is given 5% (in the end you get 210 rubles).
• For 500 rubles – 10%.
• For 1000 rubles – 20%.
• For 2,000 rubles – 30%.
• For 4000 rubles – 40%.
• For 6,000 rubles – 50%.
• For 10,000 rubles – 100% (this is the maximum).

 

Referral program

Loverium affiliate (referral) program applies to all comers. All you need to do is to place your unique link (located in your personal cabinet) on any legal resource: your website, blog, social network page, forum, chat room, etc. This link leads to the provider’s site. Every transfer is logged. And everyone who went through it and registered on loverium.com, become your referrals. From their purchases you will be credited 20%. Accumulation statistics are also displayed in your account.

 

 

Complaints about Loverium

As expected (given that there is no user verification at loverium.com, you can put any photo and call yourself by someone else’s name), there are many complaints about the dating site online, caused by a lot of bots, scammers, non-seriously-minded people. And many people don’t like the original design.

Supervisory authorities

Loverium.com is managed in Russia by Communication Technologies LLC, registered in 2014. Its main activity is listed as computer software development. In Russian law, this format of organization falls under the general definition of “information resource” and is regulated by Roskomnadzor and the Federal Tax Service (as funds pass through the ULE). The company is entered in the relevant registers and has been accredited by the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media (Ministry of Communications) of the Russian Federation, so it operates absolutely legally.

Loverium age restrictions

The site has a standard age limit of 18+. This is spelled out in the footer of loverium.com. However, due to the lack of verification combined with the administration’s permission to specify any name and put any photo to check how old the user is, it is still impossible. Therefore, the rule loses all meaning.

 

Loverium User Agreement

The Loverium User Agreement is a very short document: it consists of 12 short sections. It is a policy that establishes the nature of the legal relationship between the resource owner and its visitors. Let’s look at a few provisions of the document to get an idea of it. Almost immediately in the “Disclaimer” section, the service provider makes it clear that the use of the resource is provided without any guarantees – “As is”.

 

Any material you post is not considered confidential by default and can be shared with anyone (in the “User Information” section). By the way, the same Roskomnadzor has obliged ISPs to share consumer information with it and other government agencies.

 

This site, unlike most others, does not prohibit you from posting links. The main thing is to follow the rules. It follows from this permission that it costs the scammer nothing to use phishing links.

 

Loverium.com Customer Service

You can contact Loverium support service by e-mail [email protected] (by direct mail or via feedback form). Or create a ticket in the form “Support and suggestions”. Or visit the head office in Moscow at: 16, Uglichskaya St., ground floor, room 20. 20. The phone number of the organization is not listed.

 

 

Is Loverium a divorce?

Loverium.com – a registered resource with all the permissions, which does not require the user to pay to register, send messages, view profiles and photos. Yes, there are paid options here too, but they are not imposed, and internal currency can be earned by participating in transfers or affiliate program.

The reviews of the site are not the best. Many talk about bots and cheaters. However, in our opinion, this is more related to the operator’s failed attempt to create a user network free of unnecessary checks, rather than to the company’s deception of its customers. Loverium is not a scam, the project just needs a serious overhaul in terms of security.

 

Conclusion

Trying to offer the consumer something radically new, the developers loverium.comIn our opinion, they overdid it. The site is difficult to use – there is too much information. And the display settings are not really that necessary. At the same time, the lowered requirements for the user in terms of specifying personal data are strikingly combined with verification through payment. In essence, we give our details to the provider, and there is no guarantee that they won’t try to deduct something “wrongly” from them later.

Reviews on the web show that the anonymity of Loverium has led to the appearance of a large number of dishonest people, perverts and even scammers on the site. If you look at the site’s advertising banners, it’s hard not to notice a bias towards intimacy in the images depicted on them. As a result, we get a muddled product with no clear security policy and it’s not always clear where and what is located.
