GroupFun is all about creating real connections, but in today’s world, trust matters more than ever. That’s why we’ve introduced peer verification, a way to show other members that you’re the real deal by meeting others in person.
Whether you’re brand new or a regular on the site, getting verified helps you stand out and makes others more comfortable connecting with you.
What Is Peer Verification?
Peer verification is a community-led way to confirm that your profile belongs to a genuine person. It works like this:
- You attend a local meetup, event, or casual social hosted through GroupFun or arranged with members in your area
- Another verified GroupFun user meets you and confirms your profile details match who you are in real life
- Once verified, a badge will appear on your profile so others know you’ve been seen and verified by someone from the community
It’s a simple, low-pressure way to build trust with people who are looking for the same thing you are – honest, respectful, open-minded fun.
How Do I Get Verified?
To start, browse our UK swinger events calendar or connect with members in your area. If someone nearby is already verified, they can meet with you and help confirm your profile.
This could be:
- A coffee meet with a local couple or member
- Attending a lifestyle-friendly pub night or club event
- A small social gathering arranged through your matches
There’s no awkward process or paperwork. Just show up, be yourself, and let the community take it from there.
Why Does It Matter?
Let’s be honest, anyone can create a profile — but not everyone takes the time to connect with intention. Being verified helps:
- Boost confidence in your profile
- Encourage more meaningful matches
- Reduce ghosting, spam, and catfishing
We want GroupFun to be the safest and most authentic space for swingers in the UK. Peer verification is one way we keep that promise.
What Happens Next?
Once the GroupFun team finalises the onsite verification tool, you’ll also have the option to verify directly through the platform. Until then, peer meetups are the best way to show you’re serious about the lifestyle and ready to engage respectfully.
Want to learn more or find a local event?
Head over to the GroupFun events page or ask in your messages to connect with a verified member near you.
