What Are Control Links?
A control link grants someone temporary control of your Lovense toys for a fixed number of minutes. You set duration, intensity caps, and optional pause rules; they redeem the link and use a live control panel until time runs out or you end the session.
Two ways links are shared
| Type | Who receives it | How they redeem |
|---|---|---|
| Assigned link | A specific connection on Pokes | Control links inbox (/control-links) while signed in |
| Guest link | Anyone with the URL | Open /redeem/{token}; account optional |
Guest links are useful for DMs, chat rewards, or subscribers who have not connected on Pokes yet.
What the redeemer gets
During an active session:
- Live toy controls (vibe, intensity within your caps)
- Time remaining countdown
- Optional Pause session when you enabled pause on the link
- Optional Fappy Bird mini-game (if enabled in Games)
If another person is already controlling the toy, new redeemers enter a queue until the slot opens.
