Fling Review UK October 2026

Fling is owned by a company named Global Personals Media.

The website was launched in 2006.

The Global Personals Media headquarters is located in Florida.

Although Fling.com is an international dating platform, it doesn't accommodate certain countries. If you're from one of those countries, you can't open Fling.com; instead, you will be redirected to WebDate.

Fling.com is only available via browser. There is a Fling app available on iTunes and Google Play, but it is from a different company altogether.

Fling is a dating platform where you post personals on what you're looking for. Unlike other dating sites, it doesn't have a matching algorithm so it doesn't suggested matches for you. Instead, you create a profile on the site and search for people you are interested in based on your preferences.

If you don't want to see explicit profile photos from other users, You can turn on Safe Mode. Click the thumbnail of your profile picture on the upper right portion of the screen and choose Account Settings. Go to Profile Settings and check Safe Mode. You will no longer see explicit photos on your search results.

To verify your account, you need to capture a picture of yourself using your webcam. This photo will then be compared to your profile picture. If you don't have a webcam, you can verify your account by uploading a scanned copy of your ID.

If you feel like some pages don't load properly, it may be because you don't have Flash player, or your version of Flash may be outdated. To view the website to its fullest, you must download the latest version of Flash.

Fling allows nudity and explicit content; however, they recommended posting more than just your genitals. They don't accept zoomed in photos of your private parts. They also prohibit pictures of children and minors.

Gold membership starts at £41.94 for one month.

You can always create an account and fill up your profile for free. However, if you want to view other people's profiles and message them, you need to be a paid member. Currently, there are no free Gold Membership trials, but if you don't want to commit to a full month, you can go for their 2-day trial, which costs $0.95.

Safety is a primary concern for Fling.com members, as majority of them keep this part of their lives private from their loved ones. As a precaution, the site educates its users regarding Internet fraud. If you are not comfortable with someone possibly finding out about your Fling membership, you can always put your profile on Discreet.

To activate Discreet mode, just click the thumbnail of your profile picture on the upper right portion of the screen. Choose Account Settings, then go to the Profile Settings tab. Check the option to make your profile discreet. Once checked, only people on your Friend List can see your profile.

If someone asks you to do something you're not comfortable with, politely decline and inform them that it makes you uncomfortable. If the person persists, you can block them and report them to customer service. Remember rude/offensive members and people who ask for money are not allowed on the site.

If you wish to stop your subscription to Fling.com, you need to contact their customer service department. They will then give you the link to Fling's payment partner Instahelp247 to complete the subscription cancellation. You can still enjoy your subscription until it expires.

If for any reason you want to delete your Fling profile, you can do so temporarily by going to your Account Settings. Under the Profile Settings tab, check the Make My Profile Inactive option. You will no longer appear on other members' searches and nobody will be able to message you. This won't cancel any subscriptions that you might have.
