What is Epal.gg?
Epal.gg initially started as Egirl.gg but changed its name due to some not completely known scandal that happened. The website lets you hire mostly female gamers to play with you and is by far the largest website to offer this service.
In our Epal.gg review we will discuss the way the website is for the user. From UI / UX to its variety and community. Let us know what you think and don’t forget to check out or Battlebuddy review and Fiverr review. Our check out our general comparison.
The Review:
User Experience / Interface
With payment options you have to pay for the website currency in order to place orders, instead of paying directly, which is unfortunately a way of making you pay more than you have to. Since there’s no way to withdraw the balance if you want to order someone for, let’s say 1.5$ , you will have to pay 2$ and unfortunately will be unable to get said money back, which is a downside to the website.
The website is user friendly when looking for someone to play with. Each game is separated individually and is easily accessible and usable. In each game tab you can use the 3 category options to find the person who you are looking for.
There are 4 tabs you can customise to find who you want to find here, which are gender, age, price as well as skill level. Furthermore, they have a match feature, which allows you to put in who you want to play with, and find those who fit those criteria and are currently online and happy to play with you.
The general user experience and interface is very good and the website is very easy and comfortable to use. Unfortunately they do kind of lock in your money and the payment system is not very user friendly. Therefore E-pal gets a high score and would get a near-perfect score if they had a more user friendly payment system.
Variety
The variety of Epal is the largest out of all the websites to choose from, although a fair few of the top members have unfortunately left due to feeling screwed over by the corporate staff or having other stuff to do. Not only are there an extremely large number of games to choose from, but also there’s a custom game section, meaning even if the game isn’t officially on the website, you can put an application for a custom game with the game title as the name, allowing people to play that game with you anyway.
There are more than 10.000 people to choose from overall, so if you are looking for people to play with, there’s definitely someone there who fits what you are looking for.
As a result we have rated E-pal.gg with the maximum score.
Community
Unfortunately, the community of E-pal is decaying, slowly but surely. With its name change, as well as the lack of content made using them on Twitch and Youtube, less people are looking at and using the site nowadays. Furthermore, due to the large separation between the corporate and the community side, conflict and resentment rose between them.
Up until the end of July, the discord had weekly events, was very active, and had a bunch of regulars always in the voice channels. Unfortunately, due to the overall built up resentment as well as the admins of discord, who also worked as on site staff working for 8 hours a day for free being fed up with how they were treated, the server was nuked. The 3 admins decided to delete the rules and give every member admin privileges, causing 15.000 members to leave, many members to be banned and unbanned many times over and the name changed to “E-Gay” and “Attack On Titan Appreciation society”.
All the regulars either left the community entirely or went to other ones which were similar to the original E-pal. Currently E-pal is a sad comparison to its former glory, with power hungry mods and still extremely disconnected owners. This is a shame, as these websites are built a strong and tightly knit community.
Conclusion of our Epal.gg Review
In this Epal.gg review we have looked at the main points that count when renting a gamer to play with you. Epal scored pretty well on user experience and interface, but leaves you wanting when it comes to their payment system.
The variety and offer on Epal is amazing. While it’s not likely that all users are still active, the website has a great amount of profiles and choice and you can play any game you’d like.
The community is the most difficult part of Epal. The community had a great start but nowadays it’s hard to find someone who’s been in the community that still has a lot of positive things to say. This is a shame and honestly it can only really get better from here.
As a result Epal.gg gets an OK score of 6.5. The website’s good if you’re looking to hire and play with a gamer, but it’s not great if you’re looking for a community to join and blend in with.

used this site 3 times 1st time I had coaching for the league it’s cheap and decent there. that is why I even go there. the girl was chill and she say u seem okay so we played 3 more games with tips on improving for free 😀 another 2 times i was chilling after work had some beer and remember this site so I hire another girl that one was weird in a way that she was faking stuff all the time like trying to bait me into some kind of long term simp milking scheme and when I say that it’s not the kind of thing I’m looking for she kind of lost all interest in proactive communication 😀 the 3rd one same set up a couple of beers tired wanna chill bf I go to bed. hired one for a couple of games we had some fun played 1 extra for free and then I was just too tired so we part ways.
overall it’s a good place to find ppl to get better at the game, or just meet new ppl to chill.
there is like some social red flags I don’t explore yet but I think anyone should think about it bf using the site
like imagine how awkward it can feel when u like befriend someone and then u have to pay them cash to play games with you
or like the true goals of some epals like they sometimes get treated with the sexual stuff and still kind of don’t go away from there
or like trying to bait you in some milking scheme idk just be cautious there

I love baybees she was sexy
Was a very good experience at the very beginning until you meet bunch of weirdos. This app claims that they fight against nfsw while the half of the customers are looking for that and they let it slide. They allow ch*ld m*lesting, and harassment. Their event are tricked and if you win one you will never get ur prize. They will ghost u for a good week and come with a shitty reason to not give it to you. They use censor as way of functioning, if you dare claim ur rights and speak up for the injustices, banned will u be. Some staffs are very good and professional, the app has a good concept but is ruined by the corrupted staffs, who steals money and time from the customers if they win their contests/events but also ban people with no proof just cause the staffs themselves are customers and abuse of their power when an e girl stands up for the injustice and expose their tricky ways.

I had an unauthorized charge for about $600 on my debit card from this ridiculously dumb waste of money site. I guess them getting paid for absolutely nothing wasn’t enough! F U EPAL EGIRL OR WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS
Hi Aprik,
That’s insane. Make sure to get in touch with your bank and e-pal customer support. If we can assist you in any way, maybe to get some exposure to the matter, let us know.
pls i look dumd change me to a e girl pls
How can you tell whether the person is using their actual photos, though? She could be using anyone’s photos, correct?
You’re completely right Damien and this is an issue! A good way to check is to verify through their socials (if connected), does it all add up and does it feel / seem natural? Some e-girl sites are also working on solutions by having their users ‘verify’ themselves and giving a badge. I believe https://sparklepandas.com/ is working on this as well.

Are you social capable? Do you have lots of friends? Are you beloved and understood by your family? Neither am I!
Great website if you’re looking to have some fun, alone or with friends. Or when you need 1 more person to fill your team. I recommend hiring 2 or more people at once and watch them interact with eachother. Also, great way to improve your social skills.

Tried it with the mindset to have someone to play with a couple of matches. Person on the other side was very casual despite never stating she was unlike others. UI improved greatly over the months. There’s not much variety. Community is pretty much non-existent.

Used it sometimes when it was hyped, didn’t give me enough reasons to come back. I guess that’s exactly the reason why it’s declining so hard in the rankings.

I rented an E-girl and it was very nice. For once I wasn’t very lonely while gaming and it made me feel appreciated. We had a lot of fun and I’d rent an e-girl again. Was a really good experience.

Me and my friends used e-pal.gg once. It was easy to order and the process worked pretty ok. I disagree with the community part though, i’ve met some great people there!
I’ve rented an e-girl on epal once. We played Puzzle Pirates together and I highly enjoyed it, the website was okay and I had a decent amount of choice, I have never been a part of the community so it’s hard to rate that part for me, but it appears to be rather disconnected and difficult to engage in. Overall, I had a positive experience.
