Hot House

The offer in short

Hot House is a gay studio membership; the home page calls it an award-winning gay porn studio working since 1993, and every membership also includes the Falcon Studios library. The footer on each page says the site is owned and operated by Digigamma B.V. of Haarlem, Netherlands, and the terms of service are an agreement with "DigiGamma B.V. / Gamma Billing Inc." Two offers run side by side. The join page sells a 3 day paid trial that turns into a monthly membership. A separate discounts page prints a promo code for the yearly plan and says it brings the year down to a lower monthly figure. The join page and the discounts page quote different numbers for the yearly term, so both are set out below.

The plan ladder

Step 2 of the join form shows four cards. The trial card reads "Limited Access," "Limited Streaming" and "No Downloads." Next come two 30 day cards at two different prices, and last a 365 day card billed once a year. The three paid cards are headed "Streaming + Downloads" and list unlimited streaming, though their small print also says "No downloads," and the page does not explain either that or what separates the two 30 day cards. Every card renews on its own cycle until canceled.

As listed on the join page in October 2026, the 3 day trial costs $2.95 and is billed "Recurring at $29.95 / 30 days." The first 30 day card is $29.95, recurring at that price every month, and the second is $39.95, recurring monthly at the same price. The 365 day card is billed in one payment of $131.40 and recurs at that amount every 12 months; the card itself prints its per-month figure beside the price. No card shows a crossed-out regular price.

Read against the cards, the trial converts at the price of the cheaper 30 day card, not the dearer one. A member who knows they want to stay longer than the trial can start straight on a 30 day or 365 day card instead, and the yearly card is the one the promo code targets.

The promo code page

The discounts page, reached from the site's "Get your Gay Porn discount" link, states its offer in October 2026 in its own words: the site can be had "for as little as $7.95/month" with the promo code HOTDISCOUNT, giving "a one-year subscription at 28% off." It repeats the code several times, says to click Join Now and enter it when subscribing, and says the discount applies for one year. One line on the same page reads "Copy promo code: HOTHOUSE and paste it Here," a different word from every other mention of the code on the page.

The page does not give an end date for the code or a checkout total for the discounted year, and it does not say what the yearly plan renews at once the discounted year is over. The terms help on that last point only in general: the terms renew a membership at the rates in effect when the member first signed up. The join form carries a "Have a promo code?" link, with on-page messages for a code that was applied and for one that was not valid.

What the trial turns into

On Hot House the trial rules sit in the terms' trial clause, 8.3. The length is set at joining and shown on the receipt, here the 3 days on the card. At the end of that period the company starts billing monthly fees, and the membership renews every month unless it is canceled before the trial runs out. The same section lets the company authorize the card for up to one month of service at registration, and warns that the card issuer may hold that amount against the available balance or credit limit during the trial.

Section 8.2 applies to all plans. A membership runs for its term and then renews for further prepaid periods of the same length at the original sign-up rates, until canceled, and the member must cancel 48 hours before the renewal date to avoid the next term's charge. Section 8.1 treats a fee change caused by laws or taxes as accepted if the member does not cancel within 30 days, and it rules out price protection: no refund is given if a price drops or a promotion appears after joining. Section 8.6 allows a declined first payment to be retried within seven days and, as read in October 2026, an administrative fee of up to $2 after a failed recurring payment.

Nothing is pre-selected on the join form beside the four cards. Section 8.4 describes two optional extras the portal may offer, single scenes and access to an additional site, each a one-time charge with no rebill and lifetime access to what was bought. Section 9 caps downloads at 300 GB a day.

Billing

The footer of every page carries two lines: "Please visit Epoch.com authorized sales agents," and "For Billing Inquiries, or to cancel your membership, please visit SEGPAY.com, our authorized payment processor." The site does not say which of the two bills which purchase, and no statement descriptor is printed. Section 1.6 of the terms accepts credit card, debit card, money order, online check and gift cards through the PayGarden service, and section 8.5 says PayGarden memberships are never rebilled and get no refund. Card prices on the join page are in US dollars, and section 8.1 makes members liable for taxes, bank fees and currency fluctuations.

Section 11.1 asks a member who thinks a charge is wrong to say so in writing through the company's support site within 30 days of the statement that first shows it.

Getting out

Under section 10.1 a member may cancel at any time and without cause by notifying Client Relations, either through the support form the terms link or directly; the footer also points cancellations to Segpay. A notice should give the full name, email address and, where it applies, the last four digits of the payment method. Fees keep running until 48 hours after Client Relations has received and acknowledged the notice, and the terms make it the member's job to see that notice is properly given.

The refund page allows no refund once the login has been used on the portal, none for non-use or for trouble reaching the site that is not the company's fault, and none for part of a month. A discretionary refund goes back to the original payment method within ten days of contact with Client Relations, never in cash or by paper check. Whether access continues to the end of a paid term after canceling is not stated.

What the money buys, and who it suits

The members' benefits list on the join page reads: access to 45 years of Falcon Studios content, access to 25 years of Hot House content, over 4900 scenes, new weekly video and photo updates, and viewing on any device. The home page adds 4,000+ videos and movies, 4,700+ photo sets, 2,600+ models and unlimited 4K streaming and downloads. In October 2026 its latest Hot House scenes are dated October and November 2024, while the Falcon Studios row marked "included with your membership" shows releases from September 2026. These are the brand's own figures.

The trial suits a reader who wants three days of limited streaming before a monthly charge at the cheaper 30 day price. The yearly card, with the promo code, suits someone who plans to stay a year and wants the reduced per-month figure from the discounts page, accepting that the renewal after the first year is not spelled out. For a reader after gay content specifically, the main draw is two studio libraries under one login, with the newest releases coming from the Falcon side. The caveats: no refund once the login is used, an unexplained second 30 day card at a higher price, two different code words on the discounts page, and no end date for the code.
