Bi Cupid is mostly used in the United States, but there are pockets of users all around the world. This means it's worth a try no matter which country you live in, but your options will be limited. BiCupid members UK are much fewer than in other countries, so if you're in the UK, you might want to try your luck on other dating sites.

BiCupid.com Log in Process

Creating an account takes a few minutes but isn't too in-depth or complicated. The bicupid log in and sign-up buttons are in the corner of the home page. The first step will be entering your email address and agreeing to the terms of use and privacy policy. Next, you indicate if you are a man, woman, trans person, or couple and the gender(s) you're looking for.

Then, you will create a password, your location will be automatically detected, and you'll enter your age. You can edit your location since the system sometimes isn't accurate. On the next page, you'll create your username, and then you'll be asked 6 questions. It'll ask for your height, ethnicity, relationship status, profile headline, and a little about your ideal match.

Then, you must add at least one photo of yourself. There's no skipping this step, so be sure to have a photo ready. Another step that you can't skip is verifying your email address. They'll email you a code, which you can enter on the site. Finally, your account is created, and you can start browsing through profiles.

To fully complete your profile will take some time as there are a lot of sections to fill up, albeit optional. You're able to add more photos and videos, which you can choose to make public or private. Public pictures and videos are visible to anyone on the site, while you control who can see your private media. Some questions are prompts with fields underneath for you to write a few words as an answer:

• A joke about being bisexual
• A quote that motivates you
• Some of your favorites (charities, sports teams, food)
• Your life goals
• Recommendations for the community (restaurants, stores, etc.)
• Your personality

There are also some questions that you'll pick the answer from a drop-down menu for:

• Body type, eye, and hair color
• Education level, occupation, and annual income
• Smoking and drinking habits
• Religious and political views
• Astrological sign
• Whether you have and/or want children

BiCupid App & Mobile Compatibility

A BiCupid dating app is available, which has all the same features as the desktop site. The app focuses more on FLAME, as this feature is your main page when you open the app and log in. This will be familiar to anyone who has been online dating in the last few years. An incredibly popular dating format; swiping through profiles while viewing their profile pictures.

The app is free to download and sign up for, but some features are only available to paying members. Find more information on the costs below. BiCupid reviews for the app are mixed, but they average 3.6 stars. The negative reviews typically take issue with the cost and the small number of members.

Men Vs Women On BiCupid com

Bi Cupid gives the same experience to a new member signing up, no matter what their gender is. Men, women, trans folks, and bi couples are all given the same premium price, as well as the same profile requirements and verification options.

Everyone using the site must add a photo and verify their email to start browsing. No gender needs to give any more or less information than another.

Bi Cupid Top Features

FLAME

A swiping "game" – this feature displays another site member's profile picture and asks you to like or pass on them. If you like them, they'll be added to your likes list and informed that they've been liked. If you pass on them, you won't see their picture again, and nothing else will happen. This can be a fun, rapid-fire way of sorting through potential matches, although it is only based on looks, so it's limited in that way.

If you run out of people in your surrounding areas to swipe on, you'll find a 'Reset FLAME Passes' button in your settings. If you choose to do this, all the profiles you previously passed on will be added back to the game. You can play a limited number of free rounds per day or unlimited if you get the premium plan.

Winks

While you'll need to purchase a subscription to send messages, Bi Cupid does give one free way of reaching out to people. This is in the form of winks, which you can send once per day to someone you're interested in. Sending a wink opens a dialogue box with some pre-written messages for you to choose from to send to the other person.

If you purchase premium, you can customize these messages, but with a free membership, you must choose one of the given options. These messages are friendly and flirty and designed to start a conversation. This is a great way to reach out to someone you're interested in and see if interest is reciprocated. It's also a way to test the site for free while you are still considering whether to purchase premium or not.

Create & Attend Events

Another fun feature of BiCupid is that they host a platform to create and invite other BC members to different events. These events are member-created and can be used very creatively. You must be photo-verified to create an event, which is a great safety feature. The events can be anything from hosting a party to a "making friends" meet-up to a naughtier event.

For example, one event that caught our eye was an invitation to role-play. The event hosts were a married couple, and the idea was that the wife would be sitting in a certain bar at a specified time. Someone from the site would approach her and start chatting her up under the supervision of her husband. This can be the starting point for some very fun activities, although it also has the potential to be abused, so exercise caution if attending an event.

App Center – games, articles, and forums

The App Center tab on Bi Cupid contains a few fun features to help you pass some time. Some of the available apps are games like 2048 and Clumsy Bird, which you can play for free on the site. This tab also links to the community features like the events forum, the joke-sharing page, and the first-date ideas page.

Much like the events forum, the joke, and first date pages are member-created, so members are encouraged to share jokes about being bi, bisexual chat-up lines, and share their first date ideas. These are fun articles to read through if you've got time to spare. It can also be a great way to find creative ideas for unique first dates that hopefully end in some fun.

BiCupid Offers, Prices & Costs

With a free profile, you are able to browse profiles, like them, and send one daily complimentary wink. You can send a limited number of likes on FLAME, view all the community features, and view everything on the app center. Finally, you can reply to messages IF a premium member reaches out to you first.

Subscription Package

Like many dating sites, Bi Cupid has a premium membership plan that is necessary to use the most essential features. There is only one type of premium membership, and it is available for different periods. Some of the features included in premium membership are:

• Send messages (and enable free members to reply)
• View your likes and profile visits page
• Unlimited rewinds on flame
• Premium exclusive emojis
• Unlimited likes and winks
• Certain custom privacy settings
• Auto replies

What does BiCupid cost? The premium membership will set you back:

• 1 month: $29.95 per month 
• 3 months: $19.98 per month ($59.94 in total)
• 6 months: $15.99 per month ($95.94 in total)

All memberships will be charged to your account at the beginning of the period as one lump sum. The site has conflicting information on whether the subscriptions automatically renew or not. The upgrade page states that only the one-month plan will also renew, while the terms of service indicate that all plans will auto-renew. To be on the safe side, if you don't want your premium plan of any length to auto-renew, disable this in your settings under the Subscriptions heading.

Offer

At the time of writing, there is a Thanksgiving promotion on offer. The offer is an extra 10 days free with a one-month subscription, one month free with a three-month subscription, and two months free with a six-month subscription. This is only available for 48 hours.

While you may not be reading this at Thanksgiving, it's valuable to know that there can be seasonal discounts. If you decide to purchase a premium plan, it may be worthwhile to wait for an upcoming holiday to take advantage of a seasonal promotion.

Bi Cupid Safety & Security

Photo Verification

There are two ways on BiCupid to get the photo-verified badge, namely, by video or by ID. To get your photo video verified, you simply take a 3 to 8-second video of yourself looking at your camera. This video is only for verification purposes and will not be added to your account or shown to any other users.

The second photo verification method is by uploading a copy of a government-issued ID. For example, you could upload a driver's license, passport, or state ID card. You can black out your identification number, but you cannot obscure any other information on the card. For those concerned about their personal information and safety, the site reiterates its commitment to protecting your privacy by not selling or disclosing your personal information to third parties.

Verifying users in this way is a great feature that many sites offer. It is a way to ensure that the person you're talking to really is who they say they are. There aren't many users on Bi Cupid who have the badge, but you can request a user to become photo-verified. You can do this by clicking the "remind" button underneath the profile picture.

Extensive Privacy Settings

BiCupid has a lot of very customizable privacy settings, but only for premium members. With a free profile, you will be shown to all members of the site. Premium members specifically choose to be hidden from any combination of genders and orientations (for example, you can choose to be hidden from bi men, men, couples, and trans folks). Alternatively, premium members can also choose only to be shown to members they like and/or other premium members.

Premium members also have the option of browsing the site more invisibly. This means they can choose to hide their online status and their last login date. They can also choose to browse profiles without sending a notification to those profiles that they've been viewed.

Conclusion

For a site that claims to be the largest bisexual dating site, there are sadly very few active members. On the plus side, most of the members do seem to be real. Bi Cupid also provides more features than just swiping through profiles, including events, games, and interesting forums to read. Registration is easy, and there is an excellent app available.

Like many dating sites, messaging is behind a paywall. However, BiCupid gives free members a few other ways to communicate, including sending a wink; a free message once per day. Profile verification is available, although only a few profiles on the site have taken these steps. No security issues were identified, and there are expansive privacy settings for premium members to play around with.

We gave Bi Cupid a 3.5/5 because it is a great site but suffers from a small user base. If more people joined, the rating would be higher. On the other hand, the high premium costs may be the obstacle keeping more people from signing up.

BiCupid Tips

• You can request another person to add more photos to their profile, but you must have at least 4 public photos before you can do so.
  
  
• Use Winks and comment on people's profiles and funny headlines to communicate for free while deciding whether you want premium.
• You can make private notes about someone when you're viewing their profile. You can then find all your private notes in your settings at a later stage.
