How It Works

Is this site only for people whose ultimate goal is marriage?

Yes, we only focus on marriages. This is not a casual dating website.

Who is a submitter and a candidate?

The person for whom a match is being sought is called a "Candidate". Essentially, the candidate is the person who is going to get married after a perfect match is found. Each candidate has a profile on our system which describes the candidate. The person who creates the profile of the candidate is called a "Submitter". It is possible for the same person to be both submitter and candidate of a profile. 

What is a profile?

A profile is a description of a candidate who is supposed to get married. It lists various information about the candidate including photos, physical attributes, interests, and so on.

How does the butterfly work?

Each user gets 3 free butterflies. A butterfly sent to someone is your Kobul 1. When they send one back, it opens up Kobul 2 (mutual match). Kobul 3 is unlocked when both parties are mutually matched and choose to chat.

What is the 3 Kobul system?

Bolo Kobul uses a unique 3-step matching system. Kobul 1: You send a Kobul (butterfly) to show interest. Kobul 2: If the other person also sends you a Kobul, you are mutually matched and can view each other's full profiles. Kobul 3: Once matched, you unblock the chat feature to communicate privately and safely.

What is private and public information?

  • Private Information: All information about the candidate. Other users require permission to access this information, and can be viewed only if the candidate accepts the butterfly.
  • Public Information: A subset of the profile that is visible in the search and suggestion. Other users do not require permission to access it.

What is the "Add to Favourites" option?

When you review the public information on a profile of a candidate and you would like to remember this profile for future reference or to show it to your family before sending Butterfly to the candidate, you can add the Profile to your Favourites. In future, you can access the Favourites list by following the menu path: Favorites.

How to send a Private Information Access Request?

Any user can view the public information on the profile of another user without any permission. However, in order to view the private information of that profile, you require permission from the user who created the profile. You need to send one butterfly to the user of your interest. If the candidate likes your profile, s/he would send out one butterfly. The merging of both the butterflies allows you both to view each other’s entire profiles, except for names, phone numbers, full addresses, and email addresses. Once the Private Information Access Request is approved, both parties can also send messages to each other via the Message Box. No contact information is shared from our end. What you decide to share while chatting is completely up to you. However, we would request you not to disclose any bank and card information. Please be safe and share information cautiously.

What are the Assisted Services?

  • Getting the aid of our executive to fill out your form. It can be done through a phone call or any medium you prefer.
  • Seeking the help of experienced matchmakers on our platform to help you find matches. You would not need to go through profiles yourself to shortlist, the dedicated match maker will do that for you.
  • Taking a matchmaker along with you when you decide to go for the first meet-up. It is often preferred for ice breaking purposes.

These services are paid services.

How do I pay?

You can pay online using a debit/credit card. When you try to make payment on our site, you will be asked how you want to pay. All fees and payments are calculated in BDT.

What are the paid services?

Registration and Profile Creation are absolutely FREE! You do not need to pay for viewing profiles and sending them butterflies. However, it is limited to 3 butterflies per user. If you are in a hurry to check out more profiles, you would need to purchase more per-view-per-day and more butterflies to send. You can purchase butterflies from Get More Butterflies.

Other optional costs include:

  • Verified profiles: if you are interested to get your profile verified, which would help you get more responses as it would be considered trusted.
  • Spotlight: if you want to make your Profile stand out in a Search result page amongst thousands of other Profiles and increase your chances of being contacted.
  • Personalized matchmaking services: if you are busy checking the profiles, and would like to appoint a dedicated experience matchmaker to handle your case and contact you by your preferred mode of communication to discuss your requirements and procedures.
  • Text Alerts for notifications: if you want to get notifications on your cell phone when someone shows interest in your profile, or when you get chatting messages. This feature needs to be renewed every month.
  • Chatting: if you like the profile of someone, and that person likes yours too, you both can agree to chat. The option will be available after payment.
  • Assisted Services during meetings: if you are interested to take a matchmaker during the first meeting for smooth procedures.

How do I choose a matchmaker?

You will be assigned a matchmaker upon availability as we intend to provide focused and dedicated services. If you are not comfortable with your assigned matchmaker, feel free to request for a change.

How much do I pay my matchmaker during the meeting?

You need not pay the matchmaker anything separately in person. The fee for the service will be charged from the website beforehand.
