Who it’s for

Same idea. Different reasons.

Women and men come here for different things. We built it for both.

For women

Fun, minus the drama

  • Say what you want, and what you don’t.
  • Only hear from Verified men if you’d rather.
  • Keep photos private until you’ve chatted.
  • Block and report in one tap. A person reads every report.
For men

Aussie women who reply

  • Women nearby, not the other side of the country.
  • Every photo is checked by a person.
  • The Verified badge means she’s passed an ID check.
  • Profiles that say what she wants, up front.

Three steps

How it works

Join free

Say who you are and what you’re after. About two minutes.

Get checked

A quick selfie so we know your photo is you. Add an ID check for the Verified badge if you like.

Chat, then meet

Talk until it feels right, then meet somewhere public first.

Verification

Verified means verified

Every member’s photo is checked by a person before anyone sees it.

1A person checks every photo

Before any profile goes live, a member of our team looks at the photos. Anything that looks borrowed, edited or fake doesn’t get through.

2A selfie check

We ask for a quick selfie to make sure the person in the photos is the person on the profile.

3An ID check for the Verified badge

Members can check their ID with Yoti in about a minute. Yoti checks the document and tells us it matched. We never see or keep the document.

4Reports read by people

Report a profile and someone on our team reviews it. Fake profiles are removed.

Before you join

Questions people ask

In shortCasual Root is a casual dating site for adults. Every profile photo is checked by a person, members who pass an ID check carry a Verified badge, and joining and browsing are free. Adults only.

Is it only for Australia?

Yes. Members are in Australia, and you choose how far away to look, from your suburb to the whole state.

Is Casual Root real?

Yes. Every photo is checked by a person before it goes live, and members who pass an ID check carry a Verified badge. Profiles that look fake are removed as soon as they’re found.

Will anyone know I’m on here?

Your photos stay inside the site, your profile never appears on search engines, and the name on your bank statement doesn’t mention dating.

Is Casual Root free?

Joining, making a profile and looking around are free. A membership lets you read and reply to messages, and you’ll see the options before you pay anything.
