Answer a few questions

Our short onboarding learns your taste - age, interests, values and how far you'd go - so we can match you with the people you'll actually click with.

Get matched

Play Hot or Cold — real members, two at a time, tap whoever you find more charming — or let our concierge hand-pick and introduce you. No endless scrolling.

Start a conversation

Your matches arrive in your mailbox. Send letters, chat live, or jump on two-way video, and break the ice with a thoughtful gift delivered straight to them.

Take it offline

When the spark is real, request their contact details and plan to meet in person. Many of our couples are now married.

Tell us your type

A thoughtful questionnaire learns what you're really after — the age and look you're drawn to, the interests you'd share, the values that matter, plus a little about you. The more you share, the sharper your matches.

Covers your match, you, and the relationship you want
Powers smarter, more compatible matches

05Play Hot or Cold

Discover people with Hot or Cold

Profiles are private on Velora — there's no public directory to scroll. Instead you meet people by playing Hot or Cold: real, verified members are shown two at a time, and you tap whoever you find more charming. It's quick, playful, and every tap surfaces someone new.

No endless grids — two members at a time
Just 1 credit per play
Opt in yourself so others can discover you too

Frequently asked

Is it really free to start?

Yes. Creating your profile is completely free and you get 10 welcome credits — no card required.

How do I find people?

Two ways — no endless scrolling. Play Hot or Cold, where verified members appear two at a time and you tap whoever you find more charming; or let our concierge hand-pick your best matches and open introductions in your mailbox for you. Profiles stay private, so you're only ever seen by people you choose to appear to.

What do credits pay for?

Credits power the things that build a real bond: live chat messages, stickers, virtual and real gifts, letters and video minutes. You only spend on what you choose.

Are the members real and verified?

Every member is reviewed and verified before they appear, and our safety team monitors activity around the clock with anti-scam protection on every profile and message.

Can I send a real gift?

Absolutely — flowers, chocolates, perfume, electronics and gift cards they'll love, sent with your credits and delivered to them.

Do I need a subscription?

No — Velora has no subscriptions at all. It runs entirely on pay-as-you-go credits, so you buy a bundle whenever you like and spend only on what matters to you, at your own pace.

How is my privacy protected?

Payments are encrypted and you stay anonymous until you choose to share contact details. Your data is always protected.
