Who we are
A licensed brothel on the Overtoom, since 1986.
Club Golden Key is a licensed brothel and sex club in Amsterdam, at Overtoom 294, run by the same family since 1986. We operate in a fixed layout: a bar and lounge where every evening begins, six private suites (one downstairs, five above). No escort work, no shifting locations, no personal administration. You work at one licensed venue where the host or hostess receives every guest at the door.
Working at a licensed brothel like ours is materially different from escort work or working through an independent profile online. We are continuously looking for the right candidates, and there is unfortunately not room for everyone; we deliberately keep a small team. Whoever joins us tends to stay, women who have been here for years are the rule rather than the exception. That is not coincidence: a small team, a friendly working environment, and fair treatment keep people here.
Licensed and anonymous
Licensed, anonymous, and through opting-in.
Three things set working at Club Golden Key apart from many other options in this category. First: we operate under an exploitatievergunning issued by the City of Amsterdam, licence number ASD 1054 CJ/B002. That means periodic municipal inspection, full identification, and hygiene and labour standards that are regularly verified.
Second: your work with us stays fully anonymous. We publish no profiles, no photos, no names, not on this website, not on social media. Anyone searching your name on Google will find no link to Club Golden Key. That is a deliberate choice we have followed since day one.
Third: we work through the opting-in arrangement of the Dutch tax authority. This means you work as an independent contractor, not on a payroll, but the wage tax is withheld and remitted for you, so the fiscal side is correctly handled without you having to keep an administration. Details on the opting-in arrangement are at opting-in.info.
Practical
Good English, flexible evenings, beginners welcome.
Good English is required. A substantial part of our guests come from outside the Netherlands and the conversation at the bar runs in English. Dutch is a bonus; other languages (German, French, Spanish, Russian) are valuable for specific guests but not a baseline requirement.
Working days are flexible. Through our own scheduling system you sign up anonymously for the evenings you want to work, up to six a week. Some women work one or two evenings a week alongside other work; others work five or six. You set your own pace.
Beginners are welcome. You always start with a mandatory intake conversation, for you to see the venue and for us to check whether it fits. After that you can work a trial evening, which is completely normal here. New women are guided through their first evenings, with no pressure to do everything at once.
Pay
Paid every day, net.
You are paid every day. Because we work through the opting-in arrangement, the tax has already been withheld and remitted: what you take home is net, and you keep no administration yourself.
Safe and comfortable
You are never alone.
You are never alone in the house. The host or hostess, your colleagues and the household are always there, so there is always someone nearby. Every guest is received at the door before he comes in, and we know who is in the house.
If it does not click with a guest, you are free to decline. We always handle that in a polite way.
Ready for you: a changing room, lockers, a place to freshen up and a kitchen. Condoms are always included.
Questions
Frequently asked questions about working here.
What does working at Club Golden Key involve?
Club Golden Key is a licensed brothel and sex club at Overtoom 294 in Amsterdam, in operation since 1986. We are continuously looking for the right candidates to work as independent contractors through the Dutch opting-in arrangement, at a fixed licensed brothel rather than as an escort. You work at one venue where the evening begins at the bar and continues in the private suites. No escort work, no travelling, no self-advertising.
What does a typical evening look like?
You arrive at the start of the evening, change in the staff area, and are available from opening time onwards. The host or hostess receives the guests at the door and introduces you to them at the bar. Any suite arrangement is agreed in conversation before the door closes, and you never handle money directly. Everything is settled with the house.
What is the difference between working at a sex club and an escort agency?
At an escort agency, you travel to the client, often to locations you do not know in advance. Working at a sex club like ours is the opposite: guests come to the venue, you stay at one licensed location where your colleagues, the host, and the household are present. Safer and more predictable than escort work.
What are the age and ID requirements?
You are 21 or older. You have a valid passport or ID card from a country in the EU, the EEA (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) or Switzerland, and a BSN (Dutch tax number). We look at your documents together at the intake conversation. The opting-in arrangement requires us to register you correctly with the Belastingdienst (Dutch tax authority), which is a precondition for licensed sex work in the Netherlands.
What languages do you need to speak?
Good English is required. Our guests come from the Netherlands and abroad, and a substantial share of conversation at the bar happens in English. Dutch is a bonus but not necessary. Other languages (German, French, Spanish, Russian) are valuable for specific guests but English is the baseline.
How many evenings per week can you work?
Working days are flexible. Through our own scheduling system you sign up anonymously for the evenings you want to work, up to six a week. Some women work one or two evenings a week alongside other work; others work five or six. You set your own pace.
Do you also accept beginners?
Yes, beginners are welcome. You always start with a mandatory intake conversation, so you can see the working environment and we can check whether it fits. New women are guided through their first evenings, so there is no pressure to do everything at once.
Can I try an evening first?
Yes. After the mandatory intake conversation you can work a trial evening, which is completely normal here. That way you see for yourself whether it suits you.
How is the working space organised, do you get your own suite?
Everyone works across the same six suites; there are no fixed or "own" rooms per woman. This keeps the rotation smooth and ensures suite availability stays optimal across all evenings.
What facilities are there for the women?
A changing room, lockers, a place to freshen up and a kitchen. Condoms are always included.
How does the financial arrangement work, are you employed or self-employed?
We work through the opting-in arrangement of the Dutch tax authority. This means you work as an independent contractor, not on a payroll, but we withhold and remit the wage tax on your behalf. So you have no administrative burden, and the fiscal side is correctly arranged. More information on the opting-in scheme is available at opting-in.info.
When and how do I get paid?
Every day, net. Through the opting-in arrangement the tax has already been withheld and remitted, so you keep no administration yourself.
How safe is the work?
We are a licensed venue, with exploitatievergunning ASD 1054 CJ/B002 issued by the City of Amsterdam. The host (five evenings a week) or the hostess (the other two) is always present and receives every guest at the door before a suite arrangement is even possible. We know who comes in. You are never alone in the house: the host or hostess, your colleagues and the household are always there, so there is always someone nearby. No unknown guests at unknown locations like in escort work.
Can I decline a guest?
Yes. If it does not click with a guest, you are free to decline. We always handle that in a polite way.
How discreet can you work at Club Golden Key?
Fully anonymous. We publish no profiles, photos, or names of the women who work here, not on this website, not on social media, anywhere online. Your work with us only needs to be known to you, to us, and to the Dutch tax authority (via the opting-in registration). For family, friends, or future employers, your work history with us is not findable through a Google search.
Are you looking for specific profiles or types?
We are continuously looking for the right candidates, though unfortunately not for everyone who applies. What matters to us: reliability (you are there when you said you would be), an appearance that suits the atmosphere of the club, and the willingness to engage in conversation with our guests. No specific requirements regarding type. But: 21 or older, good English, a valid ID from the EU, the EEA or Switzerland, and a BSN.
Which nationalities are welcome?
You are very welcome with a passport or ID card from the EU, the EEA or Switzerland, a BSN and good English. Not sure whether your papers are enough? Just bring them to the intake conversation and we will look at them together.
How do you apply to work with us?
Preferably email info@clubgoldenkey.nl with a short introduction in English. If you have a question first, call +31 20 612 4078 during opening hours. We then contact you personally for the intake conversation. No form, no online application.
