In the top left corner of the screen is your personal information. This shows your current Stage Name, amount of riches, Star Level, and number of Condoms. The rows of bars under the BoTV banner are your status bars. These show your current Stamina, Sexuality, Virility, Next Star and your health.

• Stamina is used for keeping in shape and attacking. Refills 8% every 5 minutes, or 17% every 5 minutes for donators,
• Sexuality determines the effectiveness of your training,
• Virility is used to do gigs, different gigs take more virility to do, these gigs are harder to succeed at so be careful not to try them too soon, or you may end up in jail. If you successfully complete the highest gig possible with the virility you have, it will count towards the Gigs Succeeded chart in the Hall of Fame.
• Next star shows how close you are to leveling up.
• Health shows how much health you have remaining. You lose this if you're hit in a fight. You can gain health by using the penicillin appropriate for your level.

There are 5 types of stats used on BOTV: Thrusting power, excitement, protection, porn star qualifiers, and street smarts.

• Thrusting power determines how much damage you do in battle,

Attacking will gain you experience when you win. The amount of experience you can gain depends on the Star Level of your enemy, if they are much weaker, you won't get much experience. Attacking is a good way to get experience, and exert your superiority over those weaker than you. In order to attack you need at least 33% stamina and should have a weapon equipped (It's a good idea to have armor equipped too. Make sure that you really want to fight the person; because once you start you can't stop until one of you loses. When you start a fight, you click the button to use whatever weapon you have equipped. You have to equip your weapons and armor before they will be effective while you are fighting. Also, your weapons and armor get damaged over time so you have to get them repaired at the Item Repair page, which you can find The Valley.

Gang Bangs are a group of players that band together to work for a common purpose, granted this may be robbing a bank, or taking down the losers in a rival gang bang. Gang Bangs cost $50K to create, and once you buy it, you are the President of your gang bang. Your gang will initially be able to hold 5 members, but will be able to upgrade to more as time goes on. The President will be able to assign a Vice President to the gang bang. Gang bangs are able to do Organized Crimes for money. The President and Vice President can also select to go to war with another gang bang. One should be careful about doing this though, as it may come back to haunt you. Be advised that you must have at least three members in your Gang Bang at all times or it will be in danger of being automatically deleted.

Gang bang wars are a way for your gang bang to destroy another gang bang and/or gain respect. Once a gang bangs reputation is at 0 then it will be deleted and the people in it will have to start a new one. The amount of Reputation you get when you kill someone in a war will be depending on your level and the members’ level you're attacking in the opposing gang bang.

• If your opponent is 15% higher then you get 5 points of reputation.
• If your opponent is 10% to 15% higher then you get 4 points of reputation.
• If your opponent is 5% to 10% higher then you get 3 points of reputation.
• If your opponent is 5% lower to 5% higher then you get 2 points of reputation.
• If your opponent is 5% lower to 15% lower then you get 1 reputation.
• If your opponent is 15% lower or more then you get 0 points of reputation.

You can see how much reputation you will receive for the other player you are going to attack on the other gangs’ user list. If it says you will receive 0 or less reputation then the other gang will lose 1 point of reputation, but your gang bang will not gain any. If it says you will get more than 0 then your gang will receive however much you took away, and the opposing gang will lose that number. So you can still protect your training gangs, and kill small gangs if you are pissed off at them, you might just lose a little reputation.

1. Using Drugs
• To use a drug, go to your stash and click ‘Use’ next to the drug you’d like to use. The effects will then be applied to your account.
2. Making Drugs
• You begin the drug making process by going to your Home page and clicking on your Drug Lab. Once there, you will find a selection of drug making options. Choose your drug of choice wisely because changing your mind will mean starting all over, AND you cannot change your drug specialty until you make your first drug. You will then begin the drug making process at level 1. You'll need to complete a certain number of drugs before moving to the next level drug. You’ll have to figure out how many for yourself.
• Once you've chosen your drug, you need to acquire all the necessary items to make it. These items include the drug recipe, drug ingredients, and lab equipment. You can acquire these items by finding them while doing gigs (Note: Only doing the highest gig you can do will give you a chance of finding items), purchasing them in the Item Market, at the pornBay Auction House, or directly from another player. Finding the drug recipe will allow you to know exactly what particular ingredients, and what quantity, will be needed to make it.
• Once you've acquired all the ingredients required to make the drug you've chosen, along with the recipe and lab equipment, it's time to make your first drug. Go to your stash, and click 'Use' on your recipe. Then go back to your Lab and view your recipe. If you have all your ingredients, select the recipe you need to use, and then click 'Make Drugs'. On the next page you'll see you're lab equipment, and ingredients. If you have everything required, click 'Make Drug’. YOUR FIRST ATTEMPT WILL ALWAYS BE SUCCESSFUL. After that, you start with a 67% chance of being successful and with every successful attempt, your chance goes up.
• You will only be able to make as many attempts as you have ingredients. Each successfully made drug made will be sent to your stash where you can use it, sell it, or auction it off.

1. Putting an Item up for Auction
• Go to your stash and click 'Auction Off' next to the item you'd like to list. Then choose the price you'd like to start at and the length of time you'd like the auction to last (1 - 48 hours). Then click the button to list your item. If your item sells, you will receive an event stating it sold and how much it sold for. If the item does not sell in the length of time you indicated, it will be returned to your stash. Please note: All Auctions end on the hour. So for example, if you list your item for one hour at 1:58pm, that auction will end 2 minutes later at 2:00pm.
2. Bidding on an Item
• Click 'Bid' next to the item you'd like. On the next screen, you'll need to enter an amount higher than or equal to the amount listed to bid for this item. When you bid, the amount you have bid is taken out of your VALLEY ONE BANK ACCOUNT until a higher bet is made. If a higher bid is made, your money will then be repaid. Please note: You'll need to remove the commas (,) from the entry before it will be accepted.

1. Dating
• Dating is a less serious approach to relationships on BoTV. You can date as many people as you like and you have some small advantages when you do. First of all it is a good way to show who you really like on the game, if you are dating them, people will know that you are good friends. Another perk is you can send money from your bank accounts directly to theirs, which you can't do normally. If one of the people you are dating has been exceptionally nice to you recently, you can also purchase gifts for them. These gifts are just collectibles, they don't actually do anything, but it is a great way to show your appreciation for the person.
• All of the tools you have when you are dating are under the Manage Your Ho's link on your home page. All you have to do is go to your home page, click Manage Your Ho's, and then click on the person you would like to do something with.
2. Marriage
• Marriage is quite a bit more serious. There are many large perks to being married. You can only marry one person and you have to have dated them for at least 30 days first. Once you marry someone, you can still date other people, but your spouse might not like that!
• Being married on BoTV is just like real life. Once you get married you will have access to your spouse bank accounts, and they will have access to yours. So, it's highly suggested that you trust whoever it is you marry. The BoTV staff will not be responsible if your spouse decides to clean you out and run away. When you get married, the person with the lowest house will have it sold automatically and the money will then be put into your Valley One account and both people will then have the larger house of the two. So in other words, you will be sharing one house. If and when you sell your house, both people lose their house and when you buy a new one, both people will have that house.
• It is free to date someone; however, when you decide to get married it will cost money. The price will very depending on the average level between the two players getting married. It will average the levels of the two people and then multiply it by 25,000 and that will be the price. So if a level 20 is marrying a level 10, then it would be 15 times 25,000.
• If you ever decide to get divorced, you can't get a mutual, you can only run out on your family. If you do that, you lose your house, so be sure you want to be married before you do it.
