1. Everyone can download, but not everyone can use

Opened since February 2015, the app is available for download from the App Store. Anyone with an iPhone can download Raya and sign up to be a member of the community. From this, an algorithm and a committee made up of hundreds of people assess whether the candidate is able to enter the network. Acceptance may take days to months. By June 2018, according to the New York Times, there were over 100,000 people on the waiting list, of which about 8 percent would be accepted. Despite being known as the "Tinder of the Rich" on the Raya website, there's no point in having to prove minimum income to get on the net or anything.

2. Inflates on Instagram

The first criterion for joining the Tinder community for millionaires will be a significant number of Instagram followers, at least thousands. Do not think that it is possible to circumvent the system by buying users to track your account: all profiles go through the analysis of a committee, which investigate the veracity of the account and any fraudulent practices. The popularity of the user on the social network combined, also, the amount of mutual friends who have account on the platform and the recommendations of other members.

3. Secret Committee also evaluates degree of beauty

Instagram influence analysis is a part of Raya's selection process. The candidate also goes through a manual assessment by the same secret committee, which measures the person's degree of beauty and checks if she has that extra something, as Raya explains on its official website. The idea is to approve only users capable of enriching the platform by making it more interesting.

Those who pass the selection must pay an application fee. Contrary to what one might imagine, prices get as affordable as those of a Netflix subscription. You can choose from one or six month membership plans, which cost $ 7.99 and $ 29.99 ($ ​​30.28 to $ 113.65 in direct conversion), respectively.
