Your TGK Membership

How Access Works

TGK uses a simple membership model. Much of the site remains open, including pillar pages, selected investigations, community reading, glossary material and introductory episodes. A free verified account unlocks selected preview material. Full access requires Membership.

• Free: Free readers can access open public content and read community comments. They cannot post or reply in community spaces.
• Verified: Verified accounts are free accounts with confirmed email addresses. Verification unlocks selected preview material, including Episode 2 where available. This is not a payment tier.
• Member (£7.99/month or £79.99/year): Members receive full access to TGK series and premium episodes, can post and reply in community spaces, receive member discounts in the shop, and receive a one-time welcome grant of 10 Spendable Keys after their first successful paid upgrade.
• Founding Member: Founding Members are a limited lifetime support path for early backers. Founders receive lifetime Member access, a Founder badge, optional inclusion on the permanent Founders record, and a one-time welcome grant of 20 Spendable Keys in total.

Paid memberships are managed through Stripe. TGK does not store payment details.

Can I change my tier later?

Yes. If you are on a paid plan, you can manage, change, or cancel it through the billing portal.

Do I need an account for free content?

Not for public reading. You only need an account for bookmarks, email verification, and member features.

What does Verified unlock?

A verified free account unlocks Episode 2. It does not unlock community posting.

What does Membership unlock?

Membership unlocks TGK premium episodes and series, community posting and replies, member shop discounts, and the one-time 10 Key welcome bonus after your first successful paid upgrade.

How secure is payment?

Stripe handles all billing. The Gnostic Key does not store your card details.
