General
Masturbation, as well as having an orgasm, can significantly lower your stress levels. On top of that, the risk of catching an STD is non-existent, and it can even help you fall asleep a bit easier than usual.
You can incorporate many things into your masturbation sessions to make the whole sensation feel much better. For example, using a masturbator or a battery-powered sex toy is one way to make it feel significantly better. Another idea is to resort to mutual masturbation.
Once you go through the Verification process, you will be automatically redirected back to bateworld.com. Click on My Profile. You will notice the addition of a Verification Badge next to your Username as well as in the upper right corner of your Profile Photo.

The best thing about improving your masturbation sessions is that the sky is the limit. As long as you’re creative and innovative, you’ll find a way to heighten your sessions to a whole new level. Start by incorporating sex toys.
Masturbation doesn’t have any particularly dangerous side effects, but too much of it can lower your productivity by making you miss work, school, or social events. Some studies suggest there is a danger of becoming addicted to masturbation.
Groups are a hot way for members to share their experiences with buddies who have similar interests on BateWorld. To make sure it’s safe to share photos or videos that don’t belong to you as the group owner, each individual appearing must be Verified on bateworld.com.
If your group members aren’t already Verified, this is a great chance to get them onboard! Verification only takes about a minute allowing them to share all their dick pics and bate sessions in your group!
The most essential element to a good session is to relax and forget about your worries for the remainder of the session. Stress can be quite a buzzkill, and it’s something that will significantly downgrade your enjoyment.
There aren’t many rules involved in jerking off other than making sure your hands are clean. Hygiene and cleanliness should be your priority, and on top of that, we would recommend using some form of lubricants.
Many members have been asking, “If these new verification regulations are coming from MasterCard, why not just stop using MasterCard?” Trust us, if it were that simple, we would have asked everyone to find an alternative payment method a while ago.
The reality of the situation is a bit more complicated than one credit card company. MasterCard has only produced these compliance regulations and has left in the hands of payment processing companies to monitor and enforce them. Sites like BateWorld are tasked with keeping records for the processing companies.
In a nutshell, because the payment processors rely on MasterCard for a big chunk of their business, they are not willing to cut ties with them. Therefore, they have to monitor the sites that use them for payment processing. Unfortunately, it looks like other credit card companies and banks will be falling in step with MasterCard.
For years it’s been a challenge for websites who host adult content to find companies willing to process payments. SegPay and CCBill are two of the very few. They have made it clear that in order to continue operating, BateWorld has one choice – either start verifying users who upload and stream adult content, or close. We believe in free speech on the internet. We believe that adult spaces deserve to exist in the public domain. BateWorld has been and continues to be a place for sex positive community to grow. To survive and thrive, BateWorld has to comply with these new regulations.
There is no right way to masturbate. The important thing is to do whatever makes you feel good, horny, and eager to blast a load. Experiment with your body, and you’ll find the right buttons to push in no time.
It’s on you to experiment and find the techniques that suit your style the most. Whether it has to do with utilizing sex toys or perhaps inviting your partner to a nice masturbation session, it’s on you to create the perfect ambiance.
All BateWorld members can now “like” other members’ photos and videos. To like someone else’s media just click on the thumbnail or preview image of the photo or video you want. A new page will appear with the full image or video. In the bottom left corner you’ll notice the BateWorld logo with the word “like” next to it. Click on the text and your like will be recorded on the site.
The answer to this question varies depending on one’s individual preferences. Some guys masturbate multiple times a day, whereas others do it a couple of times a week. It all comes down to what you like and how horny you are at any given moment.
You can use several techniques to prolong your wanking session. For instance, the “start-stop” method is one of the easiest, but you can also resort to using cock rings and enriching your sessions with some sex toys.
Navigate to My Profile. From the dropdown menu click on Account Settings. A new window will appear. Scroll down until you see the header Website Notifications. Here you can select whether or not to receive notifications when you log in. If you no longer want to receive “like” notifications, make sure to uncheck the boxes next to When someone likes one of my photos/When someone likes one of my videos.
Once you have adjusted your notification preferences, hit the Save Changes button.
The vast majority of men masturbate because it feels good. As mentioned, masturbation is an excellent gateway to stress relief, and intense orgasms will make you feel better in general, no matter how good or bad your day is going.
Most guys jerk off because it’s an excellent way of dealing with stress and daily issues. It’s also a great mental exercise that allows you to shut down everything around you and enjoy the moment.
Navigate to My Profile. From the dropdown menu click My Group Videos. A new window will appear showing thumbnails of all the videos you’ve uploaded to groups. Thumbnails are ordered oldest first to newest. Scroll down until you see the video that needs to be tagged. Click Edit Video. A pop-up will appear with different fields. Add your buddy’s Username in the text box under Tag other members appearing in this video.
Once you have added the tag, hit the Save Changes button.
The most common technique many men use is called the “start-stop technique.” As the name suggests, the concept is pretty simple – you should stop masturbating just before you climax and continue after a minute or two. There are also certain products that can prolong your sessions.
A jerkmate is an individual who shares their special moments with other people. In simpler terms, a jerkmate is a person with whom you masturbate and share your experience and passion-riddled moments.

Click on the Album that you want to pull the image from. Then click on the image you want to upload. Finally click the Save button at the bottom of the pop-up window.

Milking refers to the action of massaging one’s prostate until it produces a thin, milky fluid. Since the prostate is one of the most sensitive male erogenous zones, milking is quite popular in gay and bi circles.
BateWorld is, hands down, one of the best gay, bi, and straight cam to cam video chat platform for amateurs. We have an awesome community of devoted enthusiasts who are eager to share their passion with other members.
We work as hard as we can to make sure that any personal information (other than what is shown publicly on a user’s profile) is always protected. What we can’t protect against is common scams and attempts at extortion that may make it seem like a hacker gained information from our site.
So called “sextortion” scams arrive via email and explain (usually in broken English) how someone has allegedly gained control of a webcam and recorded a user in compromising situations while visiting adult websites. If the hacker isn’t paid (often a strange and uneven dollar amount, often in bitcoin), they will supposedly release the video to everyone on the user’s contact list.
That sounds quite scary, until you realize how truly commonplace these scams are. (Both the UK and New Zealand have been investigating such scams for years). And once you’ve ignored your first one, it gets easier and easier to mark them all as spam and move on. These emails aren’t connected to adult websites or a user’s browsing history and are sent to anyone who has an email address, with the hope someone will feel they’ve been “caught,” and pay up.
Three quick tips for sextortion emails:
- NEVER click any links in the body of the email, visit any sites listed, or reply to the sender, under any circumstances.
- NEVER send money or attempt to share any kind of payment information with a bitcoin wallet or PayPal address displayed in the email.
- Immediately change any passwords that might be listed as “proof” that the hacker has access to your account. Here’s how to change your BateWorld password right now: How do I change my password?
Frot is a sexual activity that involves direct penis-to-penis contact. It usually refers to rubbing your own penis against another and creating pleasurable friction against the frenulum nerve, which is one of the most sensitive male erogenous zones.
If you’re new to the scene or are perhaps interested in finding like-minded people, BateWorld is your safest and best option.
Like many sites featuring user-generated content, BateWorld relies on its members to help us spot when things aren’t quite right. Anyone on the site can report anything to us for a closer review with just a click of a button.
Any place you find the flag icon ( ⚑ ), or see the Report a Problem link, you’ll be able to open a short form that will allow you to flag media, comments, blog posts, or anything else you find on the site, that should be reviewed by the BateWorld team. In any situation that requires more information, we welcome quick screenshots of what you’re seeing to help us better understand the situation. You can upload these right from the report form.
Every report submitted automatically opens a new helpdesk ticket, so that we can keep track of issues from start to finish. Reports are reviewed one at a time and an individual decision is made about what action comes next. Content which violates the TOS agreement or is not in line with the overall BateWorld Community Guidelines might be hidden or permanently deleted and the poster issued a warning. Repeat offenses will likely result in the poster being removed from the site entirely. We may reach out to you if we require additional information or details about an issue you’ve reported.
We take each and every report seriously, and strive to provide an outcome in the best interest of all members. We recognize too, that we don’t always get it right. If you continue to see TOS-violating content or users on the site, don’t hesitate to share another report. There is no algorithmic assistance or AI involved in our systems—real guys review each and every ticket received. Sometimes a second look is all it takes to spot a problem we missed the first time.
If you are unsure about whether or not a comment or piece of content violates the TOS or Community Guidelines, the best thing you can do is to send it our way. BateWorld becomes a better, stronger, and safer community with each problem we’re able to address quickly. And we can’t do it without you.
In order to get the most out of bateworld.com, we highly recommend using the most recent version of Google Chrome, but Safari, Edge and Firefox all work well too.
Avoid using Internet Explorer, AOL or any older browser that may not support full functionality on the site.
Rubbing your penis against another penis to create sexual sensations is considered frottage or frotting. Many enthusiasts consider this more affectionate than anal sex, especially people who are looking for safe sex alternatives to anal penetration.
Many guys have tried mutual masturbation at least once in their life. Consequently, there are many friends who like to cum together since it’s a unique and pretty hot experience in and of itself.
The purple banner under a media upload is an A.I. indicator. Some members use artificial intelligence platforms to generate unique media files. These uploads are different from bate-fuel, copyrighted material and otherwise “found” content. If the Content Review guys believe that a piece of media has been A.I. generated, they may mark it as such to let everyone know that the media is in compliance with BateWorld Terms of Service.
If you have had a photo or video tagged as AI generated or manipulated by mistake, please get in touch with Support.

A solosexual refers to an individual who prefers masturbation over intercourse. This does not mean they are opposed to having sex or, in some way, unable to have sex. Some solosexuals do enjoy intercourse, but they prefer solo plays.
A lot of guys, including all members of our community, love cumming together. It’s somewhat of a bonding experience, and more importantly, it allows you to experiment with your sexuality, desires, and even pick up new techniques from time to time.

If you don’t see the email in your junk folder or spam folder, contact the BateWorld Support Team and we will get things resolved as soon as possible.
Poppers is a slang term, given to a chemical compound that is supposed to be inhaled to drive one’s sexual pleasure. Poppers can make you feel horny, intensify your orgasms, and relax your anal muscles. However, there are some side-effects that should be considered.

Because every encounter may not be friendly and safe, we encourage you to always use caution and common sense when using BateWorld, especially when meeting anyone in person.

• Protect Yourself From Fraud
Never share personal or financial information with people you have met online or that you do not know very well. Do not send money to online acquaintances, especially by wire transfer because wire transfers are similar to sending cash. Do not give out any credit card information or your identification numbers such as a social security number.
• Protect Your Privacy
Remain anonymous until you feel safe. Be cautious about revealing information that could identify you. Remember that if you give someone a piece of your personal information, such as your phone number or email address, they may be able to use Internet search sites to get your full name, street address or other personal information that might make you vulnerable to identify theft or stalkers. If you want to give someone your real name, e-mail address, phone number, or any other personally identifying information you should also ask him to provide you with the same information about them. Use the information he has provided and Email him and/or call him to confirm that the information you have is valid. If you would like to know more about someone before you meet them, then we suggest that you use Internet search tools or conduct a background check to obtain more information on them.
• Secure Your Login Information
Use caution when accessing you account from a public or shared computer. Do not allow your password or screen name to be stored in a public computer. If you share your computer at home, you should disable browser features that save user names and passwords, delete your browsing history, and empty your cache after using the site. Never give anyone your password no matter why they say they need it or who they say they are. If someone asks you for your password, you may report them. If you think someone knows your password, go to the My Account section of the site and change it. If you believe someone obtained your password through your personal email account, you should immediately change the password to your email account and the password to your profile.
• Take Time To Ask Questions
Knowing what someone is into sexually is only part of the story. It is important to get to know as much as you can about a possible date or hookup before you meet in person. One way to do this is to read their profile carefully, and be sure that what is posted on their profile matches what they are saying to you and that you like what they say. Ask direct questions and listen for inconsistencies. Ask for their name, where they live and work, what they like and do not like. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they communicate. Follow your gut.
• Meeting In Person
If you plan to meet someone you have met online in person, remember, no matter how long you have been communicating online, you are really meeting them for the first time. Do all you can to verify that you know who you are meeting. You may have already asked for a picture, be sure to have a recent face picture and feel free to ask for some form of identification. Verification of identity, even through a web or cell cam, can help protect you from thieves and those that may seek to harm you.
Your first meeting should be in public and others should know where you are going. Give a friend their screen name and the other personal information that you have gotten from them. Print out their information (screen name, address, phone number, email address) and some of your communication, and leave it by your computer before you leave home. Be sure to take your cell phone with you. Choose a comfortable meeting place like a café or an open park. Talk to him in a location where there are a lot of people around (people that can become instant witnesses in case of a bad date).
You may also want to ask a friend to call you during your arranged meeting time to check on you. Do not be afraid to let your date know that you have informed others about your meeting.
• Be Assertive
Do not do anything you are not comfortable doing, you have the right to set boundaries and limits, including sexual limits. No means No. If you are turned down, do not take it personally and respect the person’s wishes.
• Have Your Own Transportation
Do not be dependent on someone else to pick you up or drop you off. Use public transportation or a taxi if they are available. To add an extra layer of protection, take alternate routes to and from home if you think you might be followed.
• Keep A Clear Head
Getting drunk or getting high before meeting someone you met online can put you in danger. If you plan on drinking or partying, to protect yourself from being knocked out or taken advantage of, mix your own drinks and use your own party supplies.
• Secure Your Valuables
If you are meeting at someone else’s home, do not take cash, credit cards, electronics (with the exception of your cell phone), or other valuables with you. If you are having someone come to your home, secure all valuables, hide your laptop and other portable devices that have value. Do not leave your visitor alone, it is likely that your visitor will want to use your restroom, clear all valuables and anything that may be used as a weapon from your restroom.
• Ask About Health
While Bating is the safest form of sex, sometimes things go further. There is more to health than HIV status in profiles. Talk about your HIV status and ask about his. A conversation about sexually transmitted diseases, especially HPV, Hepatitis A, B and C, Herpes, and genital warts is part of risk reduction.
You have a right to have sex in whatever form you choose. We recommend that you use protection by wearing a condom when having sex. Whether you choose to use protection or not is up to you but at least know what you are getting into by talking with your partner. Remember that not everyone is honest and some people will not tell you their real HIV status or their STD history. If you encounter an online date that refuses to answer questions about their health, their HIV status, their last STD test, and/or their sexual history, then you should a use a condom or practice another form of safer sex.
If you want to have protected anal sex (use a condom) and they refuse, do not give in. Sticking to your safety limits is important and compromising what makes you safe is not worth a date. For more information about gay men’s health check out our Health Resource page and the Health section of the The Bator Blog.

We want to make sure everything you want to show on BateWorld gets shared. The two primary reasons for a photo or video being rejected are:
The media contained more than one individual. In this case you’ll just need to let us know which BateWorld member appears along with you. Encourage them to sign up and get Verified if they’re not already. If they are already Verified, all you need to do is tag them. There are step by step instructions for tagging your buddies here in the FAQ. Just search for the term “tag.”
The media did not depict you. Found content can’t be uploaded to your galleries or groups, as it could violate copyrights, or the consent of individuals depicted. Let us see who you are, not just photos you found online.
This document is meant to be an overview of the content policy on BWE properties, based on the full Terms of Service agreement available to all members. Obviously, this policy cannot cover all possible infractions and violations and should not be perceived as a final adjudication on what is acceptable versus what is not acceptable media.

We work as hard as we can to make sure that any personal information (other than what is shown publicly on a user’s profile) is always protected. What we can’t protect against is common scams and attempts at extortion that may make it seem like a hacker gained information from our site.
So called “sextortion” scams arrive via email and explain (usually in broken English) how someone has allegedly gained control of a webcam and recorded a user in compromising situations while visiting adult websites. If the hacker isn’t paid (often a strange and uneven dollar amount, often in bitcoin), they will supposedly release the video to everyone on the user’s contact list.
That sounds quite scary, until you realize how truly commonplace these scams are. (Both the UK and New Zealand have been investigating such scams for years). And once you’ve ignored your first one, it gets easier and easier to mark them all as spam and move on. These emails aren’t connected to adult websites or a user’s browsing history and are sent to anyone who has an email address, with the hope someone will feel they’ve been “caught,” and pay up.
Three quick tips for sextortion emails:
- NEVER click any links in the body of the email, visit any sites listed, or reply to the sender, under any circumstances.
- NEVER send money or attempt to share any kind of payment information with a bitcoin wallet or PayPal address displayed in the email.
- Immediately change any passwords that might be listed as “proof” that the hacker has access to your account. Here’s how to change your BateWorld password right now: How do I change my password?
To update your profile, you must visit the Edit Profile page. You can move through the different parts of your profile by clicking the tabs at the top of the page.You must have your month day and year of birth added in order to change your profile.

Then scroll down to click the Save Changes button and save your new email address.
If a member has successfully completed the Verification process you will see the Verification Badge next to his Username as well as in the upper right corner of their Profile Photo.

Like many sites featuring user-generated content, BateWorld relies on its members to help us spot when things aren’t quite right. Anyone on the site can report anything to us for a closer review with just a click of a button.
Any place you find the flag icon ( ⚑ ), or see the Report a Problem link, you’ll be able to open a short form that will allow you to flag media, comments, blog posts, or anything else you find on the site, that should be reviewed by the BateWorld team. In any situation that requires more information, we welcome quick screenshots of what you’re seeing to help us better understand the situation. You can upload these right from the report form.
Every report submitted automatically opens a new helpdesk ticket, so that we can keep track of issues from start to finish. Reports are reviewed one at a time and an individual decision is made about what action comes next. Content which violates the TOS agreement or is not in line with the overall BateWorld Community Guidelines might be hidden or permanently deleted and the poster issued a warning. Repeat offenses will likely result in the poster being removed from the site entirely. We may reach out to you if we require additional information or details about an issue you’ve reported.
We take each and every report seriously, and strive to provide an outcome in the best interest of all members. We recognize too, that we don’t always get it right. If you continue to see TOS-violating content or users on the site, don’t hesitate to share another report. There is no algorithmic assistance or AI involved in our systems—real guys review each and every ticket received. Sometimes a second look is all it takes to spot a problem we missed the first time.
If you are unsure about whether or not a comment or piece of content violates the TOS or Community Guidelines, the best thing you can do is to send it our way. BateWorld becomes a better, stronger, and safer community with each problem we’re able to address quickly. And we can’t do it without you.

BateWorld Rules and Information
Chargebacks made against site active memberships are grounds for immediate termination of the membership without refund, and permanent removal of the member account. Email and IP addresses will be logged for record keeping purposes and will be prevented from use in creating new accounts in the future. We may also be legally obligated to provide personal information and account details to the credit card provider as part of the chargeback dispute process.
If you’re having second thoughts about your Premium membership, read about how you can request a refund, rather than initiating a chargeback.
There are a few reasons why your previously uploaded media might not be showing up right now:
- The media was “found content.” Photos or videos that don’t depict BateWorld users, or that have been found elsewhere online can’t be a part of your uploaded albums or groups.
- The media did not depict a verified member. If you haven’t yet Verified your account, any uploads you previously made as the Group Owner won’t be visible. The same goes for any members who upload photos or videos to your group. As soon as all accounts are Verified, we’ll review your images and videos and quickly make them available for everybody else.
- The media depicts more than one individual. If this is the case, just let us know which BateWorld members appear in the photo or video. If they’re Verified, we can make the media visible right away.
Check out BateWorld Terms of Service for more information.
As part of our commitment to keeping our users safer, and keeping BateWorld adult-friendly, new uploads need to be reviewed before they’re made live. We love seeing your photos and videos, so this usually happens quickly. But it can sometimes take between 24-48 hours.
Many members have been asking, “If these new verification regulations are coming from MasterCard, why not just stop using MasterCard?” Trust us, if it were that simple, we would have asked everyone to find an alternative payment method a while ago.
The reality of the situation is a bit more complicated than one credit card company. MasterCard has only produced these compliance regulations and has left in the hands of payment processing companies to monitor and enforce them. Sites like BateWorld are tasked with keeping records for the processing companies.
In a nutshell, because the payment processors rely on MasterCard for a big chunk of their business, they are not willing to cut ties with them. Therefore, they have to monitor the sites that use them for payment processing. Unfortunately, it looks like other credit card companies and banks will be falling in step with MasterCard.
For years it’s been a challenge for websites who host adult content to find companies willing to process payments. SegPay and CCBill are two of the very few. They have made it clear that in order to continue operating, BateWorld has one choice – either start verifying users who upload and stream adult content, or close. We believe in free speech on the internet. We believe that adult spaces deserve to exist in the public domain. BateWorld has been and continues to be a place for sex positive community to grow. To survive and thrive, BateWorld has to comply with these new regulations.
We want to make sure everything you want to show on BateWorld gets shared. The two primary reasons for a photo or video being rejected are:
The media contained more than one individual. In this case you’ll just need to let us know which BateWorld member appears along with you. Encourage them to sign up and get Verified if they’re not already. If they are already Verified, all you need to do is tag them. There are step by step instructions for tagging your buddies here in the FAQ. Just search for the term “tag.”
The media did not depict you. Found content can’t be uploaded to your galleries or groups, as it could violate copyrights, or the consent of individuals depicted. Let us see who you are, not just photos you found online.
Like many sites featuring user-generated content, BateWorld relies on its members to help us spot when things aren’t quite right. Anyone on the site can report anything to us for a closer review with just a click of a button.
Any place you find the flag icon ( ⚑ ), or see the Report a Problem link, you’ll be able to open a short form that will allow you to flag media, comments, blog posts, or anything else you find on the site, that should be reviewed by the BateWorld team. In any situation that requires more information, we welcome quick screenshots of what you’re seeing to help us better understand the situation. You can upload these right from the report form.
Every report submitted automatically opens a new helpdesk ticket, so that we can keep track of issues from start to finish. Reports are reviewed one at a time and an individual decision is made about what action comes next.

Repeat offenses will likely result in the poster being removed from the site entirely. We may reach out to you if we require additional information or details about an issue you’ve reported.

If you continue to see TOS-violating content or users on the site, don’t hesitate to share another report. There is no algorithmic assistance or AI involved in our systems—real guys review each and every ticket received. Sometimes a second look is all it takes to spot a problem we missed the first time.
If you are unsure about whether or not a comment or piece of content violates the TOS or Community Guidelines, the best thing you can do is to send it our way. BateWorld becomes a better, stronger, and safer community with each problem we’re able to address quickly. And we can’t do it without you.
While we really appreciate your original media and your handmade penis art, we are also okay with your experiments with A.I. interfaces as long as they comply with existing T.O.S. guidelines.
Please let us know that the media is A.I. generated by checking the box next to This media was generated or manipulated using artificial intelligence. This will help the Content Review guys in getting your stuff approved as soon as possible!
The purple banner under a media upload is an A.I. indicator. Some members use artificial intelligence platforms to generate unique media files. These uploads are different from bate-fuel, copyrighted material and otherwise “found” content. If the Content Review guys believe that a piece of media has been A.I. generated, they may mark it as such to let everyone know that the media is in compliance with BateWorld Terms of Service.
If you have had a photo or video tagged as AI generated or manipulated by mistake, please get in touch with Support.
First check out the Recent News section on the homepage. Often if there is a big site error or problem, we will have posted something there.

Proceed as you normally would if you were buying a Premium Membership.

Verification
For most users, the process will be less than 90 seconds from beginning to end.
If there are additional details or information required to successfully complete the process, it could take a little longer.
You can request that VerifyMyContent delete all the information you used to get verified. It’s pretty straightforward. All you have to do is send them an email at [email protected]. They will ask you a couple of questions to match you with your data, and then permanently delete it from their system.
Nope. As much as we encourage openness and free expression on BateWorld, your personal details only ever yours to share.
To safely verify our members, we have contracted with one of the leading identity verification companies in the world (they’re also eBay’s sole adult verifier). We receive a notification only when a user has passed verification. That means Bateworld.com will never see, store, or expose your ID documents—we simply never touch them.
Getting Verified using your smartphone is easy. Open your browser (suggested browsers include Chrome, Firefox, and Safari). In the search bar at the top of your page enter the URL: https://bateworld.com. You will be directed to the login screen. Enter your email address and password. A new page will appear showing the same Activity Feed you would see on the desktop site.
Tap on the mobile Menu “hamburger” icon (the three lines in the upper left corner of your screen). A dropdown menu will appear. Tap on Verify and follow the steps on the Verification page.
BateWorld is intended to be a safe and welcoming community for all. Getting Verified is a quick, one-step process to demonstrate you’re of legal age to use this site. It also lets everyone else feel sure that it’s safe to enjoy your photos, videos, and live streams on VidChat.
Keeping nonconsensual and underage content out of bateworld.com means we can remain here for you for the long haul ahead (and won’t have to pull a Tumblr, suddenly making everything PG13).
You’ll also get a free 30-day Premium membership (or extension if you are already a premium member) for verifying before the end of 2021.
Yes.
In order to ensure that everybody taking part in our diverse and enthusiastic community is at least 18 years old, you will need to be Verified in order to share your stuff anywhere on BateWorld, including groups.
This goes for your group members too, if you’re a group owner or admin!
No.
You are welcome to experience everything the site has to offer as an unverified member. However, you will not be able to upload or share photos and videos to the site without first getting Verified. This helps us ensure that only folks over 18 are sharing their bate.
Verified members can upload photos to any group they have joined that already has a photos tab.
Navigate to the My Profile tab at the top of your browser window. A drop down menu will appear. Select My Groups.
Click on the Group where you want to upload your photos. The group page will appear in your browser window. Click on Photos, and then Add New Photos to the right of the thumbnails.
A pop up will appear with further instructions. Check the box that certifies your right to distribute the content. Click the Browse button, browse to the photos you want to upload. You can upload more than one image at a time. Once selected, click the Upload button on your harddrive popup. Then click the blue Start Upload button. Your photos will start uploading immediately. Don’t navigate away from the page until the upload is complete.
Your photos will be visible after our admin team has had a chance to review it. This usually happens quickly but may take 24-48 hours.
Once you go through the Verification process, you will be automatically redirected back to bateworld.com. Click on My Profile. You will notice the addition of a Verification Badge next to your Username as well as in the upper right corner of your Profile Photo.
The badge looks like this
If a member has successfully completed the Verification process you will see the Verification Badge next to his Username as well as in the upper right corner of their Profile Photo.
The badge looks like this:
If you have uploaded a photo showing you and another BateWorld member having a hot session together you will need to tag him in order for your photo to be approved for general viewing.
To tag your buddy go to My Profile at the top of the page you’re on. Click on My Photos in the dropdown menu. A new page will appear showing all your photo albums. Select the album where the photo lives. Click on Edit Album, then select the photo showing you and your buddy. Click Edit Photo and just type his name in the box that says Tag other members appearing in this photo.
If he is also a Verified Member, your media will be approved right away!
Go to My Profile in the menu bar at the top of the homepage. In the drop down menu click on Change Intro Video. A new page will appear to Add a Short Video Introduction. Click the attestation box to get the uploader started.
Click Browse. Select the video you want to upload from your hard drive. Then click the Start Upload button. Once your video is uploaded, you’ll see a preview screen. Your video will appear under your profile photo after our admin team has had a chance to review it. This usually happens quickly but may take 24-48 hours.
For best results keep your Intro Video under 2 minutes. Make sure to review the BateWorld Terms of Service.
On the rare occasion that the Verification is not working for you at VerifyMyContent, BateWorld operations can help.
Send us a message at support.bateworld.com. Make sure to include your Username and tell us exactly what happened when you tried to get verified.
We love when guys love to share their buddy or group experiences with BateWorld. In order to make sure it’s safe to share images or video featuring more than one person, each individual appearing must be Verified on bateworld.com.
If your bate buddies or group members aren’t already on the site, this is a great chance to get them onboard! Signup takes less than a minute. Once they confirm their email address, they can be quickly verified, allowing you to tag them in photos and videos.
Groups are a hot way for members to share their experiences with buddies who have similar interests on BateWorld. To make sure it’s safe to share photos or videos that don’t belong to you as the group owner, each individual appearing must be Verified on bateworld.com.
If your group members aren’t already Verified, this is a great chance to get them onboard! Verification only takes about a minute allowing them to share all their dick pics and bate sessions in your group!
Photos or videos that don’t depict BateWorld users, or that have been found elsewhere online can’t be a part of your uploaded galleries or groups. This type of content violates the BateWorld Terms of Service, and potentially infringes on the copyright or the consent of the individuals depicted. It’s also impossible for us to ensure those appearing in found content are over 18 years old.
Keeping members safe means making sure we don’t share images or videos on our site without your consent. And that goes for non-members as well.
Remember, we love to see you guys sharing your penis time with each other. Buddy or group images or videos are totally fine for groups, however, each individual appearing in images and videos must be Verified on bateworld.com.
If your group members aren’t already on the site, this is a great chance to get them onboard! Signup takes less than a minute. Once they confirm their email address, they can be quickly Verified, allowing you to tag them in photos and videos.
As part of our commitment to keeping our users safer, and keeping BateWorld adult-friendly, new uploads will need to be reviewed before they’re made live. We love seeing your photos and videos, so this usually happens quickly. But it can sometimes take between 24-48 hours.
First, take clear, legible photos of both the front and back of your license or the photo page of your passport. Save those images on the device you’re using for Verification. You will be adding them as attachments, similar to when you send email.
Make sure you are in a well-lit area so your face is clearly visible for your webcam or smartphone camera.
Then go to the Verification Page and click the Verify Now button!
Yes.
In order to ensure that everybody taking part in our diverse and enthusiastic community is at least 18 years old, you will need to be Verified in order to share your stuff.
Photos or videos that don’t depict Verified BateWorld users, or that have been found elsewhere online can’t be a part of your uploaded galleries or groups.

It’s also impossible for us to ensure those appearing in found content are over 18 years old.

No.
Because we receive only a confirmation from our verification processor, no one at bateworld.com ever has direct access to your ID documents, government name, or other identifying information that you do not choose to share directly.
In other words, if you don’t put it on your profile, it won’t be part of your BateWorld account.
There are a few reasons why your previously uploaded media might not be showing up right now:
- The media was “found content.” Photos or videos that don’t depict BateWorld users, or that have been found elsewhere online can’t be a part of your uploaded albums or groups.
- The media did not depict a verified member. If you haven’t yet Verified your account, any uploads you previously made as the Group Owner won’t be visible. The same goes for any members who upload photos or videos to your group. As soon as all accounts are Verified, we’ll review your images and videos and quickly make them available for everybody else.
- The media depicts more than one individual. If this is the case, just let us know which BateWorld members appear in the photo or video. If they’re Verified, we can make the media visible right away.
Check out BateWorld Terms of Service for more information.
Nothing. Verification is free and safe.
We’re committed to keeping this space open and available to everyone who wants to take part. Everyone with a BateWorld profile is eligible for safe and secure Verification.
We want to make sure everything you want to show on BateWorld gets shared. The two primary reasons for a photo or video being rejected are:
The media contained more than one individual. In this case you’ll just need to let us know which BateWorld member appears along with you. Encourage them to sign up and get Verified if they’re not already. If they are already Verified, all you need to do is tag them. There are step by step instructions for tagging your buddies here in the FAQ. Just search for the term “tag.”
The media did not depict you. Found content can’t be uploaded to your galleries or groups, as it could violate copyrights, or the consent of individuals depicted. Let us see who you are, not just photos you found online.
