Is it safe to get a tarot reading online? Free automated readings are safe if they don't ask for personal data. For live readings, use established platforms, pay only through them, set a spending limit and never pay for curse removal or 'cleansings'. Share as little personal information as the question needs.
Red Flags
- Claims that you're cursed or blocked — and can pay to fix it.
- Requests for payment by gift card or crypto.
- Pressure to keep the session running.
- Requests for full names, addresses or bank details.
Privacy Basics
- Use a nickname on platforms.
- Our free readings store nothing.
- Delete chat transcripts on shared devices.
Spending
Turn off auto top-up, set a time limit and use welcome offers — PsychicBook's 10 free minutes are a low-risk way to try a live reader.
Safe Free Sites
A free reading site doesn't need your email, name or birth date to shuffle cards. If it asks, check why — and whether it plans to email you offers. Ours asks for nothing.
If You've Been Scammed
Stop contact, keep screenshots, contact your bank or card issuer, report the reader to the platform and file a report at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

What are common online tarot scams?
Online tarot scams follow the same scripts as other psychic scams online: curse removal, gift-card payments and pressure to keep paying.
