I don't, but if I had no other choice and needed to sign up to such a site I'd consider making one (or trying a real one with sensitive info redacted and see if that passes), along with other anonymity precautions.

The law is IMO the least of your concerns here (you are not stealing or causing harm to anyone, so very little incentive for someone to look into it), the fallout when your real ID leaks like what happened here would be a much bigger concern especially for LGBT performers in certain regions.

Regarding credit cards, using a prepaid one or a service such a Privacy.com is enough so no fakery needed there.
