International-Dating-Portal.com review

International-Dating-Portal.com is a dating platform that looks rather old-fashioned. It is not aesthetically inviting or very functional, to be honest. The name of the operator is EHB Consulting GmbH, from Zollikon, in Switzerland. We do not have much experience with this company. We have not found any reviews about them, either positive or negative. It looks like they take the profile verification process very seriously, as it involves several steps. Apparently, the release of new profiles is done manually.

The website offers a subscription for premium members; otherwise it is not possible to access the chat. Either way, there is very little activity on the platform. The member pool is questionable. Many profiles may be abandoned. One or two users were active, including us, at the time of writing this review. However, we were positively surprised that membership does not involve automatic renewals. However, it may be pointless to pay for a service where there is nobody home.

International-Dating-Portal.com is a bland dating portal for people who are looking for an international date. For our review, we created a standard profile, with as little information as possible. We also read the Terms and Conditions in detail. The website is run by an operator called EHB Consulting GmbH, from Zollikon, in Switzerland. Although this may not be a fake chat, and it does not come across as an ill-intended scam, we doubt you will find a date here.

Cumbersome verification

When we created our profile, it took some time to get our profile accepted. Before that, we could not log in at all. Once it was manually verified, we could finally check the members’ area. However, we could not see any profile pictures. At first, we thought it was due to our free membership status. But it turned out that we still needed someone from the company to “release” our brand-new profile. This could take an additional 24 hours, slowing down the experience even more.

This may be one of the reasons why the members’ area was pretty much dead. At times, we were the only active profile on the website. Occasionally, we saw one other user who seemed to be online. The users came from all over the world. But at this pace, it seems unlikely that people could develop a relationship. Even more so, when the members are so far apart that a live date is quite a stretch. Even if this is not a fake chat, even if this website was not designed as a rip-off, it is a waste of time.

Fair subscription

However, we were pleasantly surprised about the subscription the operator offers. Firstly, it does not entail automatic renewals. Usually, scam operators make sure the costs keep running, whether you want it or not. They may even interfere with your cancellation process. So, this was very positive. Furthermore, the prices were not too bad. The longer the subscription, the cheaper the monthly price. One month of membership costs ten US dollars, but three months cost only 20 dollars. More importantly, there were no suspicious paragraphs in the Terms of Use.

International-Dating-Portal.com is not the best option if you are looking for an international date. There is little activity in the members’ area. Everything is slow and discouraging here. Creating a functioning profile took ages. Even if the profiles were real, nobody is online. We are not sure if this is a rip-off since the membership is not automatically renewed, and there are no fishy Terms of Use. This Swiss website, by EHB Consulting GmbH, is unlikely to get you any dates.
