Your platform.
Your workspace.
Your way.
Make TheDirectory.uk look the way you want.
TheDirectory is a private directory for adults in the United Kingdom. Joining and listing are free. Independent members list themselves, other members find them, and the two talk directly. We keep the standard high, the membership small, and stay out of everything that happens after the introduction.
Your workspace, your design
Most sites give you a profile. This one gives you a workspace, and then hands you the keys.
The accent colour that runs through every page. How light or dark your menu sits. What your panels are made of: carbon, leather, brushed steel, fibre. The pattern behind it all, and how solid your chat panel is over the top.
Not a handful of themes somebody else picked and called personalisation. At the top level the colour, the finish, the pattern and the chat shading are all yours to set.
Only you ever see it. Signed in, it follows you to your phone.
Four steps, in order
Sign up
You give us an email address, a telephone number and the basics of who you are.
Go live
Your profile goes live straight away with the template photo. Verifying your identity and age adds the Verified tick and unlocks Live Cam, Sexting and Phone Fun.
Add your photos
Add your photographs, your area, your availability and the ways you are happy to be contacted. A person looks at every photograph before it is shown, and until it is approved the template photo stays. You choose what is shown and you can change or hide it at any time.
Connect
Members message each other through the site. Conversations stay on the platform unless you choose to share a number, a Telegram handle or an email address from your own profile.
For members, browsing and messaging
Standard membership is free, permanently: browsing, messaging every member, and appearing in the regular directory results if you also advertise. VIP adds one thing, and it's exactly one thing. Everything else a member does costs nothing regardless of tier.
Every function of the site, for a member: browsing, messaging, Sexting, Live Cam and Phone Fun (paid per message or per minute, same rate for every member), and a booking request. No part of this is held back for VIP.
A VIP badge shown next to your name, in chat and on the browse grid. That's the whole of it. VIP does not change your access to anything a Standard member can already do. A one-time, free 24-hour trial is available from the Membership page: real usage, not a calendar day, so it can be spent in small pieces across as many days as it takes.
For advertisers, listing and earning
Every listing is free and always shown, on every tier, every day. That has never changed and never will. The only thing money buys is placement and revenue share.
A full listing, shown every day, forever, at no cost. You keep 70% of everything a member spends on you. Every photograph is reviewed by a person, and there is no catch waiting behind it.
We keep what you receive as high as we can: this is the best price we can offer once our running costs are covered.
100 tokens buys top of the directory at double width, a diamond marker, 5 private galleries you release person by person (Standard gets 1), priority in the review queue, 10 outcall postcodes free (Standard gets 1), 10 Sexting conversations at once (Standard gets 2), 75% of what you earn (up from 70%), listed every day with nothing to renew, requiring a deposit before a booking on your own terms, and seeing who viewed you rather than just how many.
A single payment, no renewal, ever. You are listed with Platinum in the same top group, with the same placement and the same fair order, for as long as you're a member. One Platinum member also wins this free every month, chosen at random.
We ship improvements every day, and your one-off payment goes straight into building, so we can move even faster.
Tokens
Tokens are a non refundable digital asset bought at 25p each, and the one currency the site runs on: buy them once with whichever token suits you, then spend them anywhere on the site. A Sexting message costs one token.
Pay with crypto
10 cryptocurrencies accepted, at today's rate. Nothing here is fixed to a fake number: this is the same live rate the checkout on your own dashboard quotes.
XRP is our own preferred rail, and the one we settle our own treasury in, an operational choice about speed and cost, not a recommendation to buy or hold anything, and nothing on this page is financial advice. Every token confirms at its own pace: XRP is typically near-instant, others can take longer, and a slower confirmation is a network doing its job properly, not a failed payment.

Rates come from CoinGecko, cached for a few minutes so a page load never waits on it. XRP payments are verified on the ledger automatically when you send the exact amount we quote you. Every other coin is checked by a person before your balance moves.
Where we stand
We are the platform, not the party
TheDirectory provides a listing and a way to talk. Whatever two adults agree between themselves is theirs, arranged directly, on their own terms. We take no part in it, set no terms for it, and take no cut of it.
Crypto only, on purpose
There is no card processor and no bank in this loop. You buy tokens with a token you already hold, at the live rate, and everything paid on the site afterwards is spent in tokens.
Independent by design
Everybody listed here runs their own affairs. Nobody is employed by us, managed by us, or directed by us. We do not set anyone's availability, their terms or their prices, and we do not publish a menu on anybody's behalf.
Adults only, moderated
Eighteen and over, without exception. Every photograph is reviewed by a person before publication, identity verification is available to any member who wants the Verified badge, and an account that misrepresents who it belongs to is removed rather than warned.
Your privacy
Approximate areas only
Your listing shows a district, never a pin. We do not publish anybody's address and there is no map marker on a profile.
You choose the channels
Telephone, WhatsApp, Telegram and email are each shown only if you add them. Leave them out and members can still reach you through the site.
Off at any time
Hide your listing for an evening or a fortnight and bring it back yourself. Nothing is deleted while it is hidden.
Questions
Why crypto only, why not a card?+
A card processor will not carry this kind of platform, and we are not interested in disguising what the site is to get one to. Crypto is the payment rail that actually works for an adult directory, so it is the only one we use.
Why isn't my top up instant?+
XRP is credited automatically: pick how many tokens, send the exact XRP amount we quote you, paste the transaction hash, and it is checked on the XRP ledger and credited within moments. Every other coin is checked by a person against the block explorer before your balance moves, which is usually quick but is a human step.
What happens if I send the wrong amount, or on the wrong network?+
Tell us anyway. An overpayment is credited at the rate it arrived; an underpayment is short and we will ask you to top up the difference. Sending an asset on a network it does not support (Tether on the wrong chain is the common one) can mean the payment is unrecoverable, which is why the checkout is explicit about which network to use for each token.
Do I need to buy tokens to join?+
No. Standard membership is free: browsing, messaging every member and appearing in the regular directory results all cost nothing. Tokens only come into it for Sexting messages, for an advertiser's Platinum placement, and for a buyer's own VIP badge.
Can I get a refund on unused tokens?+
No. Tokens are supplied straight away and are not refundable once supplied. If we fail to supply what you paid for, such as a Sexting message nobody answers, it is refunded automatically.
What does an advertiser actually get paid?+
A token spent on an advertiser is £0.25 from the member, and the advertiser keeps at least 70% of it, settled to their own address. That rises to 75% on Platinum and 80% on Lifetime Platinum. Running the site takes 20% throughout, so what we keep is whatever is left, which on Lifetime Platinum is nothing. We do not hold an advertiser's earnings for them.
What about tokens you give me, rather than ones I buy?+
A registration bonus, a referral reward, or completing part of your profile all earn you Sparks, not tokens: issued by us, not bought. Sparks carry no monetary value and can never be exchanged for cash, by you or by us. They lift your profile, a boost, a glow, an extra gallery slot, that kind of thing, and can never be spent on anything that reaches another member, such as a message or a gallery unlock. Tokens are the ones you buy, and those are what reach people.
Can a credit to my account be reversed?+
Yes, in specific circumstances: if a top-up was credited in error, was not actually a payment made to us, or came through fraud or abuse of the top-up or referral process. We will tell you before or as soon as we do this wherever reasonably possible. This is set out in full in our Terms.
Questions and answers
01What is TheDirectory.uk?
A digital services platform where adults create listings, find one another and communicate. We are not a bank, an employer, an agency, a booking service or law enforcement, and we are not a party to anything members arrange between themselves. Members who advertise do so as independent people or businesses.
Read the terms02Is it free to join and list a profile?
Yes. Joining and listing are free. Your profile goes live straight away, and verifying your identity and age adds the Verified tick and unlocks Live Cam, Sexting and Phone Fun.
How it works03How do you keep under 18s out?
Every visitor confirms they are 18 or over before entering. Messaging and every paid or explicit feature sit behind a real check: a person reviews a government identity document against a live photograph of the same person, so a borrowed or downloaded document does not pass.
Online safety04Are profiles and photographs checked?
Yes. Every profile and every photograph is reviewed by a person, and every photograph is looked at before it is shown. Members who have verified their identity carry a Verified tick.
How it works05Can I block someone, report something or close my account?
Yes. Every profile and every conversation has a report and a block control; blocking stops messages both ways immediately and is not visible to the person blocked. When you close your account your profile and photographs are hidden straight away, and you can ask to see, correct or delete your data at any time.
Report and block06What happens to my identity documents?
A person checks them against a live photograph of you for the identity and age check. The image is deleted 12 months after we approve or reject it, or after 90 days if the check was never finished.
Privacy policy07Do you sell or share my personal data?
We do not sell your personal data. The companies that help us run the site act as our processors under a written contract, and may use it only as we instruct. Access to member data is limited to the people who need it to moderate or support the site.
Privacy policy08Who can read my messages?
You and the person you send them to, and a moderator only if a message is reported. Messages are not end to end encrypted. A conversation set to disappear is deleted automatically on the schedule you choose.
Privacy policy09Do you use advertising or tracking cookies?
No. No advertising or retargeting pixels and no fingerprinting. We set one analytics cookie, Matomo hosted on our own servers, and only if you accept the banner; it does not build an advertising profile of you and nothing it collects is sold or shared.
Cookies10Why does TheDirectory.uk exist?
Because it was an engineering challenge we wanted to take on. We are a digital services platform, and this idea brings together a great deal of current and next generation engineering practice in one place. What we built for it now helps independent businesses compete with long established names, and in many cases outperform them.
