California city guides — questions

Which cities does JoinTheSwing cover in California?
JoinTheSwing has 102 California city scene pages, including Los Angeles, Long Beach, Anaheim, Riverside, Santa Ana and Irvine. The lists above link each city to its own scene page.
Is JoinTheSwing open to new members in California?
No. Registration is not open yet — in California or anywhere else. JoinTheSwing plans ID verification so members can decide who reaches them: at launch, every member will pass ID verification before messaging, and a conversation will open only if you accept an introduction request. Until registration opens, the email list on this page carries the release notice.
How does the California city list work?
Each California city page lists the venues and event groups we list for that city. We only list venues and groups we can verify are real and currently operating, and no venue is invented to fill a city; a city whose listed options are all in other towns says so on its own page. Always confirm details on the venue's own page before you go.

When registration opens, the Veriff identity check reviews government ID, biometric face-match and liveness. From the current Veriff check the images never reach JoinTheSwing — we retain the verification result, Veriff's session reference, a consent receipt and non-biometric review metadata — while accounts from our earlier, retired in-house pass may still have ID, selfie or couple photos in private storage until account deletion (privacy and verification policy).
