When writing reviews, I think it would help if there was yes or no checkbox for providers who require a deposit.
I am 60 years old and over the years have had numerous ladies who no-show or arrive hours late, but I have never been a no-show for a scheduled session. I just am not comfortable with deposit requests -- especially with ladies who have limited or no reviews.
It's looking I will try K-girl agencies more often or only schedule sessions with the ladies who do not insist on a deposit from someone who has verified their identity, location, etc. Hope I can find some GFE ladies with amazing breasts on my upcoming stay. I'm pretty I've found a lady who meets my needs through TER and hopefully I can see if any of the ladies I enjoyed rendezvous with previous years remember me and are still in business.

I'm gfe and except all types of screening  

Great idea for there to be a check box in a providers profile is she requires a deposit.

for years here on TER it was forbidden to discuss  BBFS ....  although that's now open and i think for the better ...   but lets make a new guideline,   never give or discuss deposits!   ..sorry ladies, the history of deposits is just full of this being a bad idea.  

Deposits have, unfortunately, become part of the new hobbying landscape.  I understand why some companions  require them, and I understand why most clients are frustrated by them.  Fortunately, we have TER to tell us who we can trust with our deposit and who, if we are prudent, to avoid.  I would never send a deposit to anyone other than a well reviewed, well respected provider. To send a deposit under any other circumstance is just too risky.  When I read stories of hobbyists being ripped off in a deposit scam, it is ALWAYS by a questionable (for one reason or another) provider and NEVER has it been by a well reviewed, well respected companion.  Have I read about some “gray” area situations? Yes. Usually this is more about a communication breakdown rather than a ripoff. Stick with reliable, professional, companions and the deposit is simply a box to check on the way to a wonderful experience. Just my .02 worth

If I do ask for deposit it's only for new clients that are requesting 4hrs or more because sadly I have had many new clients flake on extended dates. But once established with me I don't ask.  

I think giving  a deposit to a provider should be based on the amount of Provider reviews. If a provider has a good amount of reviews, she's most likely legit and absolutely not going to take advantage of you. I completely understand however the fear of giving a deposit and for that reason, I never ask for one, unless the person has given me a flaky vibe or has comments written on them about no-show. I do, however, have a cancellation policy that I expect a client to follow if they don't want a negative report. I understand both ways of thinking on both sides and all I can say is go with your gut. I don't know when you will be in town, but I am here in Vegas Until 28th September and will be posting the dates I will be back in October. Most likely the end of the month. From what you said you're looking for I think I may be perfect for that.

Then why doesn’t that work for clients? If I have multiple references why should I pay a deposit?

I have suggested on the suggestion board that TER have it on our profiles & 2 years ago a fellow hobbyist did as well. Link below. 👇 I think it would save everyone time to know because face it some people are lazy & never read the providers website prior to continuing to contact them for a date it’s rude.

I can understand your concern but you also need to understand ours. The deposit I charge is very minimal. It ranges from $50-$200. Most appointments are $50-100 unless it’s a multi hour appointment. Deposits became a requirement when people became less accountable. Prior to Covid my cancellation rate was super low. About on 4% of cancellations and out of the 4% only 1% were no call no shows. Covid gave everyone the excuse that I have Covid so you are just supposed to suck it up and take it. I am sorry sir but that reasoning doesn’t work with my Morgage company.  

I understand your position. You do you.

I'm going to have to disagree.
