Phone verification is an important tool used to filter out bots, scripts, and nefarious individuals. This type of verification helps us keep THE CAGE as safe as possible while encouraging a genuine environment. Verification is quick, confidential, easy, and free.
Your phone number is associated with your account but will never be used in any other way or ever shared with anyone.
Consent and authenticity matter to us, as does maintaining a positive and polite environment.
Read our full set of Rules (including specific requirements for blogs and chat rooms) for the complete list. You should also read our Content Policy before uploading any images or media to the platform.
We reserve the right to remove any user we deem disruptive or harmful to the community, without prior notice. These decisions are made to ensure a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for all.
Further information can be found in our Community Standards.
There are a number of different ways to contact other users depending on your membership level. Premium users can video and voice call other Premium users, send messages via our internal mail system (CAGE Mail), or chat live with our Premium instant messenger, BOND. If you have chosen a Basic (free) account you can contact all Premium users via CAGE mail. You'll find "Message", "Chat", and "Call" icons on each user's profile. Please note some of these icons may not be active depending on membership level. Our live Chat Rooms are available to both Premium and Basic members. Regardless of your membership choice, please remember to treat all users with politeness and respect. Don't expect to be treated as a submissive or dominant until agreed to by all parties.
Click on "Find Friends" to search our members. You can search using a number of filters including gender, D/s and sexual orientation, and region. Search results can be sorted by date of last visit, age, or length of membership.
The Online Now page shows you everyone who is currently connected. You can sort through online users by role, gender, etc. as well as seeing other users recently online.
A profile will show if a user has been active "recently", or within a general time period (week, month, year, etc.). Users may also choose to let others see an exact time stamp of their last visit. You can change this setting on your profile in "Preferences".
User authenticity and safety are top priorities at THE CAGE. We employ multiple layers of verification, automated tools, and human moderation to keep the community safe and genuine.
All new members must complete phone verification on registration. Members in countries where the law requires age verification (including the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Australia) are required to complete an 18+ Age Check via Yoti before accessing the platform. All members can optionally verify their identity via Veriff, our trusted identity verification partner; verified members display a blue check mark on their profile.
Uploaded images and content are reviewed using automated tools as a first-pass check, with all final decisions made by a human member of our team. We also operate a responsive user report system that empowers the community to play an active role in maintaining a safe and friendly environment. This process effectively filters out fakes, scammers, bots, duplicate accounts, and those offering or seeking paid services.
You can learn more in our Content Policy, Identity Verification, and 18+ Age Checks sections.
We have lots of great information for both the BDSM novice and experienced practitioner. Check out our articles on terminology, SSC, and more in our library. And don't forget our blogs and Forum discussions which offer a wealth of information from the community.
Our Contact List is an easy way to keep track of people. You can do this by visiting a profile and clicking on the "add to contact list" button at the bottom. This is for your reference only. Other users will not know that they've been added to your contact list. The Contact List is a Premium only feature.
Due to store policies regarding apps with adult content, we aren't able to offer THE CAGE in app stores. However, THE CAGE can be installed as a web app. Here are the steps to do so:

On iOS:
We don't have traditional personal ads because we offer a much better way to find partners! On THE CAGE, you can indicate that you are Seeking directly in your profile and specify exactly what you're looking for. To find others who are seeking, simply head to the Find Friends section, where you can search by location, age, gender, and other criteria to narrow your results. You'll also find a dedicated list of the most recently listed seekers under the Seeking section. It's an efficient, modern approach to connecting with people who share your interests and relationship goals!
