from lk2fireone:
Glad for the warning, and also glad that you are able to take this so calmly.
I would be screaming my lungs out that I had been tricked.
Which would not be that good for me, at my age. Lol.
Thanks again for the warning.
This was a new one, for me.
Except that I was charged twice on my cell phone, for ring-tones, that I never ordered or agreed to buy.
My cell phone carrier representative told me I had probably opened a text message from some company, and that automatically gave the company the right to charge me for a service.
The reason I was charged twice (about $15 for each time), was that as soon as I noticed the charge on my monthly bill, I called my cell phone carrier to complain, they placed a block on the account, but somehow, I was still charged a second time by the *(^%$ ring-tone company.
I called the ring-tone company that charged me, they said they would give me a refund: it took about 4 months for me to get a refund, of $15 (they had charged me $15 twice, for a total of $30).
I gave up trying to get the rest of my money back.
But scams, thieves, whatever, are alive and well out there.
Even big-name corporations like to play games.
Sometimes they even get caught, and are forced to pay a fine.
But in the past, any fine they paid was small compared to the money they probably made from cheating their customers.

C'mon, RA ..... lighten up. I'm running out of superlatives with which to cap the anointing praise consistent with your unending display of journalistic talents.

Thanks for such a great review, and for addressing the elephant in the room (ie, the upsells). Honestly, as amazing as the site is, and even bearing in mind your recommendations, it's still not worth the risk for me. All it would take for me to think again would be for a 'you will be billed extra for this - are you sure' popup to appear.

from jook:
Thanks as always for a thorough review.
Maybe I need an internet lesson. My experience has been horrible (I'm in my 1st week and basically gave up). First, I was double charged. I was taken to epoch where my card was rejected in a microsecond. I was then brought to a secondary processor where I had no problem. That is, except that I got charged by epoch also. I thought I was joining the site Latina rampage. At least that's what I clicked. . After joining, I saw no reference to this site. My only option was bangbros, which I hate. Tattooed warriors, not my style. I couldn't get any other site without being asked for another $29. I have to think I'm doing something wrong but have no idea what. And I'd rather forego the dough rather than spend hours emailing and trying to figure it out. Does Latina rampage even exist?

I should add, in the interest of fairness, that my email received a response that was quick and effective. My advice to anyone joining an add-on here is to keep you joining email for any information you may need to cancel. I did, and though that didn't work I suspect that having all that information to provide in an email helped out.

I agree - I'm never going to join Bangbrothers because of their shady practices, and I don't see why tricking those who do is a good business plan because they're hardly encouraging loyalty.

I suffered their nasty practices myself. Seems like some cookie retained my credit card info, and upon entering a site, just clicking on an image would suscribe me to it, WITHOUT ASKING FIRST.
Even worse, there are clones, and you can get suscribed to both clones.
Even worse, depending on how you got there, you'll have also a different route out of the whole mess. Each clone can have its own way.
I got the content I wanted, managed to cancel with pain and efforts, and when surfing for porn I immediately close any page that reminds me of Bangbros -just in case.
Compare this with Reality Kings. Looks like they also have some cookie, because they offer me resuscribing to its sites when I enter any of them. But they offer a limited preview, and do not suscribe you without asking you first -so far, at least...

rearadmiral's Review
from HonestJoe:
I'd like to correct a mistake made in rearadmirals review here:
"While photos are available, this really isn’t a photo site. The photos are screencaps of the videos and are available as singles or as zips."
That is wrong. There are BOTH Hi-Res Stills photos AND screencaps for all sites on the Bangbros network other than Bangbus as that one only has screencaps, but no hi-res photos. But all of the other sites on the network have a choice of both photos and screencaps.
If you look at the presentation page of a scene, you will see this:
Pictures and zip files
Photos / Screencaps / Photos.zip / Screencaps.zip
The photos are actual posed-for shots, taken before the videos are shot, and while they are done to mimic the video they are presented with, they often have different poses and positions than are featured in the vids. They have great lighting and very high production values.
The photos are very high quality 3000x2000 hi-res photos with very little compression, with the individual pics being between 2 and 3mb each in size. They are also very generous with the quantity of them, some photo sets are 800 pics or more and the full zips of some shoots are over 500mb in size.
Now the screencaps, those are just still captures taken directly from the videos, which is a good way to quickly browse through what happens in a scene before you watch or download it. But they are kind of unnecessary as it's just as easy to make your own screencaps from the vids yourself if you want to.
I personally love the hi-res photos and download the zips of those more often than the actual videos. I usually stream the vids on the site to watch them, but only download select ones. But i grab every photo.zip of the shoots i like. HD video is great, but it still doesn't come anywhere close to the clarity of Hi-Res still photos taken with 16 megapixel still cameras. And Bangbros have some of the best in the biz.

I signed up for a Devils Film membership in April, using Mastercard. And the credit card company blocked my account until I spoke with them on the telephone.
The credit card companies are trying to prevent fraud. So if they see a suspicious charge or billing agent, they block the account.

I understand your irritation. Currently I am trying to convert my DVD collection into .mkvs for storage on my hard drives. Only lately I managed to get rid of the synch problem. I would suggest you use VLC where you can adjust the time lag between audio and video if there are particular vids you are especially fond of.

Hi Rearadmiral
Thats sucks as audio is very important and especially when it is a film in your language and its out of sync, very annoying. Did you try it on other video players, I use GOM player but sometime have issues and then I'll try VLC or media player classic to see if its any better on these.

I should have been clearer about the Super Pack's 4 sites. At one time, all 4 of those sites were standalone sites for $24.95 each and were stream only. So to put all 4 into one package for one price is a bundle. Once they made this bundle, they started allowing downloads. So those sites are no longer stream only and you get all four for $24.95. I had time to think about what I had said in this comment and my review. Haze Her is another of the addons, but the deal I was offered was to Brandi Belle for $1.25 for 3 days unlimited access and downloads. With the fast internet speed was able to download the 200+ scenes from it in two days. This offer came about 2 weeks into a membership. I signed in, it popped up and said it was a gift for being a loyal customer.
And I didn't notice the negative part of the upsells since I usually have at least one of the addon packs so I get most of those scenes that would otherwise require payment to download. It's not much different than how Videobox is with their Evil Angel and Vivid channels. VB keeps the Kink and Reality Kings content out of search results, but the Evil Angel and Vivid still show up.
As for middle of the road, I would guess you are running into the same thing you did on Reality Kings since the models are more on the curvy side. Outside of subjectivity, it's hard to deny the technical quality, the quantity or the value. But you shouldn't feel too bad there. A lot of our members here love Teen Mega World, I was bored with it within a few days because all the models are slim. I'm running into that again on another site rated high by members here, Fucked Hard 18. I've been a member for 2 weeks and have downloaded 6 scenes/videos/pictures because the models don't really interest me. I've always had problems with that when writing a review since I try to be subjective towards the quality, quantity, but have trouble being subjective towards the model types if a site mainly focuses on one type.
I don't know if this will help on Bang Bros, but I started using the "sites" button and going through each of their sites instead of trying to go through the whole network at one time. This way I found the sites/genres I preferred that they have, from there was able to go to individual models that stand out.

I don't have a membership right now, but this is what I remember being there.
Super Pack - Dancing Bear, The CFNM Show, College Rules and one other. These were $24.95 each around this time last year and were stream only.
DVD Pack - No idea what this is, it's some kind of high priced DVD site similar to Videobox.
Then they had a whole list of sites with Spanish name. If you join any of the Spanish sites, you get access to all of them for 24.95. It's very rare, mostly South American models. I want to say the name of it is Culiando.
They also had Reality Kings offers that actually changed price nearly everyday from $9.95 to $24.95.
The site I see when visiting as a guest is the same one I reviewed from. They have been putting subtle and not so subtle changes in for a couple years now, so it's hard for me to say if the changes were there when I was a member. I had been planning on joining again, probably this weekend and will let you know if you do and notice anything differently.

I know the feeling because I have always liked European models and the fact that there are 3 excellent sites to help me keep track of their scenes is simply amazing.

Be advised that if you do then you are forever doomed to look for all of them because there are sooooo many that it's near impossible to find all the ones you want.

I hope not because I think all the students are complete idiots. How fucking stupid do you have to be to complain about a raise in tuition when the rates have remained the same for nearly 30 years. yes the raise is a little big but the students will still be paying less than the other provinces. Sadly a large percentage of the Quebec population has been sold on the idea that Government services should be free. This is not that unusual when you consider that about 60% of the Quebec work force is unionized.
Let's hope you have many more years of unlimited downloads because being limited to 120 gig might seem like a large amount but I've already eaten through half of that and we aren't even half way through the month yet.

I managed to download many Gigs of data in one day so if they do then I'd say it's pretty high. Of course I only downloaded one HD file. My ISp provider limits me to a maximum of 120G per month so HD content is usually to be avoided.

The 14.95$ price is also really hard to pass up. I was actually quite surprised that it had been such a long time since I was last a member. The only similar site on my list is Reality kings but I hate their new design because I can't get beyond the front page to search for scenes. I keept getting transfered to the join page and
I won't join that site without seeing what scene they have added that I like.

Nice mini review. Thanks for the info.
Beata looks really nice and the free tour shows some pretty interesting hardcore scenes. I might have to join the site and check them out.
Is there any chance you could talk a bit about how intense the scenes are? They mention face fucking and anal, any DP's?
Thanks for the info.
