I have to confess that I joined Bang.com as a three-day upsell on another membership a few of times to get the original content. I really like a lot of their original stuff. I think I was on my third three-day membership when I 'discovered' their massive library on non-original stuff. I signed up for a full membership then. This is a great site. It's a great review too, as always!

Agreed. I downloaded some older stuff from JM Productions and what is offered at Bang is better quality than what JM offers at its own site.
Thanks for the comments and welcome to PornUsers. I hope you hang around and become a regular.

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, 97 is high for me. I think some of that may be subjective. I try really hard to limit any subjective influence but I was hung over this morning when I finished the review...
Seriously though, this is a great site.

I doubt that they've stopped the practice of automatic billing by merely clicking on the wrong icon. I hope someone with more current knowledge can answer that.

Welcome to PornUsers. I hope you stick around.
I haven't joined BB in about a year but even then I treated it as a minefield and I'd still do that when I rejoin in the future. I can't see any reason why they would have changed their practices. If you opt to join (and it is mostly safe to do that if you go in with your eyes open) find out what sites you have access to (the TBP page here will tell you that) and ONLY go to those sites. Do not consider any of the links to other sites as taking you to a preview. If you really want to protect yourself use a pre-paid or reloadable card with just enough to cover the basic membership so if you do click on a link and they try to charge you it will be declined.
Finally, if you do willingly click on a link with the idea of joining be aware that any add-ons have to be cancelled separately. Don't just cancel your main membership because you'll end up with a recurring charge on the add-on. (A pre-paid card with a limited balance will solve this problem too.)
Good luck! Let us know how you make out and post a review or comments on the site. It's unfortunate that BB relies on such sketchy business practices because it is a great site.

I definitely agree with your premise that the small number of us who do actually pay for porn should be treated like royalty. BB is among the worst in that their sites are like minefields in that one wrong click suddenly can land you with an unintended membership. When I occasionally join BB I use a pre-paid card with just enough balance on it to pay for the main membership to block any attempts to bill me for more.
Welcome to PornUsers. I hope you stick around and keep contributing.

Thanks for posting this update Shen. Like Roberto, I've avoided BB because their site was like a minefield. One wrong click and you were charged for a site you didn't want.

Agreed. I have to figure out a payment method other than a credit card. I'm looking at pre-paid cards but I've had trouble with those before.
Then again, for as little as I trust Bang Bros, my issue with them has never been billing. It's their use of links that automatically generate a membership and a charge.

This is big news! This is great news! I'm certain that the BB site will still be a minefield of links that may lead to unwanted add-ons and charges, but holy crap...

Coincidentally I was thinking of a BB rejoin since it has been a while. I'll join using a different computer and email address and see if I can get the same offer. Thanks for pointing this out.

I have to weigh in and say that this is one of the most informative reviews I've read in a long time. Admittedly, I've been thinking of taking the Bang Bros plunge again (I haven't been a member there for a few years because of their shady billing practices) and your review is really helpful.
Bang Bros is likely the one site that many of us would name where the site itself is excellent but the experience can be seriously dampened by the tactics the site uses to get more money from users without them even knowing.
Your tips in avoiding at least some of their crap will be useful for all readers.

I haven't joined Kink in close to a year but I never had any issues with cancelling. I hope this was just a glitch and they've got that fixed. Difficulty cancelling is a sign that a site is getting a bit shady in my opinion.
I have a friend who had to cancel a credit card to get Bang Bros recurring billing to stop.

I hope this works for you. I really like what Bang Bros has to offer but I refuse to join because of their shady billing practices.

slutty's Review
I will never understand why Bang Bros uses these shady tactics. They have a decent site, some great porn and they offer a great value for members. But like you I'm always amazed at the lengths they go to to swindle their paying members. I've learned to treat their webpage like a minefield, making sure to only click on those scenes that I know are part of what I paid for. And how did I learn that this is necessary? By getting burned. The worst thing that happened was that I once opened an email offer from them and clicked on the link to have a look at a new site they had. Or so I thought. That one click to open the link caused me to become a member because they had my credit card info on file.
Grrrr...
What bugs me most is that THEY DON'T NEED TO DO THIS TO MAKE MONEY!!!

It always baffles me why a site like this has to stoop to such shady practices. As you've probably read in other comments you aren't the first PU member to be burned by BB. I got burned too - twice. I do still join the site but I treat it like a minefield as one errant click of your mouse and you end up with additional charges. BB has some excellent porn so it makes me wonder what they hope to gain by pissing of customers.
Just a warning - don't click on any links in any promotional emails you get from them. If they have your credit card information - surprise! - you just joined. The sender for their emails that I get is "Support." Support, my ass...

Welcome to PU.
And welcome to the VERY large club of people here who have been scammed by BB. I've said this many times before, but BB is like a minefield: you really need to be careful about where you click because one wrong click can literally cost you. I've also said this many times: BB is a great porn site that could be very successful without all the bullshit they use. It seems to me like they actually want to run scams rather than just run an honest site.
I rejoin occasionally, but I've learned how to step carefully to avoid what you're going through. But on my first time in I got scammed the exact same way you just did.

Been there, done that, and I don't mean that with even a hint of sarcasm. I'll never understand why BB feels the need to screw customers over like this. You read the comments here and it's complaint after complaint of shady practices. I rejoin BB occasionally but I am always careful when I'm a member. As you learned, clicking on a thumbnail may get you a new membership - and one that's hard to cancel.
Don't give up on sites with no independent biller though. 90% of the time that's a good rule to follow but there are some great sites out there that don't have an independent biller that are still honest and easy to cancel. The PU reviews and comments will usually call out shady practices. German Goo Girls is a good example, except that they do have a biller but it happens to be a corrupt one.

I think your comment pretty much sums up how most of us here feel about this network. What bugs me is that they don't need to do it. They have a great product at a decent price and I'm sure they'd have a lot of long-term and recurring members if they treated customers with more respect. I've joined several times in the past and likely will again, but I tip-toe through the site as if it was a minefield to avoid triggering an extra cost.

Kavalier2's Review
Great review.
I'm glad that you pointed out their shady tactics for joining the add-on sites. Whenever I have a membership there now I always tread carefully and makes sure I don't click on any link that I'm not sure about. Like you, I learned about their dirty tricks the hard way. And also like you, I found their cancellation process to be deceptive. I had it happen once that they didn't even give the option to cancel an add-on site. That took some work to get that cancelled and I suspect that a lot of people don't realize that the add-ons need to be cancelled separately. It's a great site but their shady tactics with members needs to change.

I'm not really all that calm any longer. I went to the site and I see they have only a handful of videos. I'm pissed, but I suspect that the grief I'll go through to get a refund won't be worth it. I'll download what they have and chalk it up to experience.

Thanks for the comments.
I agree that the upsells are what causes the site to lose a lot of credibility. But the baffling thing is that they don't need the upsells. They have an incredibly good product that sells itself. And the problem that many report with the upsells is that you don't even get a warning that you're heading into extra-cost territory. I didn't experience that. The one add-on I did buy was clearly an extra cost.
