Frequently asked questions
Kort antwoord voor je begint
De belangrijkste praktische vragen over toegang, privacy en safeheid.
Can I chat without registering?+
Yes. A guest name gives you access to the 16+ Mainroom. Speelcafé and the separate 18+ Darkroom require registration.
Is chatting with a nickname completely anonymous?+
No. A nickname protects your visible identity, but complete anonymity cannot be guaranteed. Do not share sensitive personal information.
Is GewoonChatten free?+
Guest access and a normal profile are free. Optional extra features do not change the free basic access.
Does the chat work on my phone?+
Yes. GewoonChatten works in a current mobile browser and adapts to phones, tablets, laptops and desktops.
What should I do about unwanted behaviour?+
End the conversation, do not share more information and use blocking, reporting or the contact options. Keep relevant context when it is safe to do so.
Free chat without registration
You can enter the Mainroom with a guest name. No full profile is required for that first visit. Speelcafé is for registered members; the separate Darkroom is only available to registered and verified visitors aged 18 or older.
Start with a nickname while protecting your privacy
A nickname limits what other chatters immediately know about you, but it does not make a conversation completely untraceable or automatically safe. Do not share your address, phone number, passwords, payment details or media you would not want forwarded.
Meet new people and start a conversation
Read along for a moment and respond to a topic that is already active. An open question about someone’s day, hobby or region usually works better than several separate greetings. Respect it when someone does not want to reply or start a private conversation.
Chat on mobile and desktop
The website and chat adapt to different screen sizes. You do not need to install an app: a current browser and a stable internet connection are enough. A profile makes it easier to return recognisably on different devices.
Safety, rules and moderation
The general community is 16+. The house rules apply to guests and members. Use blocking or reporting when someone keeps pushing, threatens, discriminates, asks for money or crosses other boundaries. The safety centre explains the available steps.
