Frequently asked questions

Is Hull Dating free?

Yes. You can create a profile, match and chat with people completely free, with 3 likes a day. Premium is optional and adds extras like seeing everyone who's liked you, unlimited likes, voice notes in chat and a monthly Super Like.

Is Hull Dating only for Hull?

It's for the whole of Hull & East Yorkshire — Hull, Beverley, Cottingham, Hessle, Bridlington, Driffield and the surrounding towns and villages. Everyone you see is genuinely local.

Do I have to pay to message my matches?

No — matching and messaging your matches are free. We never put a paywall on conversations.

Is everyone on Hull Dating verified?

Profiles are checked by our team, and members can earn a Verified badge by taking a quick selfie in a set pose, with an optional photo-ID check too. It keeps things genuine.

How much is Premium?

Premium starts from £3.99 a week, £9.99 a month, or £29.99 for six months. It renews automatically and you can cancel anytime — you keep it until the period ends.

How do I get verified?

Open the verify page in the app and take a selfie in the pose shown; a moderator checks it matches your photos. You can also confirm your identity with a passport or driving licence.

Is Hull Dating safe?

Profiles are verified, we warn you in chat if a message looks like a scam, and there's a Date Check-In tool plus easy block & report. Always meet in public and never send anyone money — see our Safe Dating Guide.

How do I cancel Premium?

Go to Settings → Cancel subscription. It stops renewing and you keep Premium until the current period ends.

Do I need to download an app?

No download from a store needed — Hull Dating is a web app you can use in your browser and add to your phone's home screen for a full app experience.

How do I stay safe on a date?

Meet somewhere public, tell a friend where you're going, make your own way there and back, and use the in-app Date Check-In. Trust your instincts — it's fine to leave any time.
