OnePoll Review – Legit or Scam? (Real Inside Look)

OnePoll


OnePoll is a legit survey site that offers cash rewards. But you have to be quite patient to earn. It might be worth checking out as an extra site but you should not rely on it as your only site.

OnePoll is a survey site that supposedly is a way for you to earn some extra money for free.

But is OnePoll legit and really worth your time?

Let me just reveal right away that it is legit as you will get paid for the surveys you take – But that does not necessarily mean it will be worth joining.

I have tested it thoroughly and have compared it to the hundreds of other survey sites I have tested

This OnePoll review will give you an inside look, and you will learn all the details so you know exactly what to expect and can find out whether this survey site is the right opportunity for you.

Let's get down to business then, shall we?

What is OnePoll, and what does it offer?

As you can see, OnePoll is a survey site, and it is based in the UK and the US.

They have partnered with some of the key retailers in the UK, US, and other places to provide them with market research.

They do this by offering surveys to you in exchange for monetary rewards.

I have made a short video that gives you a full guide tutorial so you can see exactly how it works. Just be aware that the design of the platform has changed a bit since the video was recorded, but it still offers the same opportunities.

You can also read all the details below the video:

Option 1 – OnePoll surveys

Since it is a survey site, you will, of course, be able to earn by answering surveys.

There are quite a lot of surveys inside OnePoll.

Once you log in to the website, you will quickly see all the available surveys you can take.

You will also see the rewards for each survey, which in my opinion, are a little too low, in general, compared to many other survey sites.

Plus, some of the surveys can take quite a while to finish. So while it definitely is a real way to earn on OnePoll, it will often take some patience.

Also, even though a survey is available, there is no guarantee you will qualify for it. That is how it is with all paid survey sites.

Option 2 – Prize draws

There isn't much information about the prize draws OnePoll offers.

Their terms and conditions state that there are specific surveys that reward you with a chance to enter their prize draws.

It is another opportunity for you to earn rewards but it will be purely based on chance.

Although I don't quite understand why they wouldn't put more information about this. When you think about it though, they also don't make it quite clear what you get from doing surveys as well.

If you take a look at their website, most of the information is geared towards informing potential partners of what they can get out of OnePoll.

There isn't really a lot of info about what you, as a member of their research panel can get out of it.

That is a little strange for a survey panel, but that does not mean it cannot be worth it – it just means it can be a bit confusing when you first come to the site compared to many other paid survey sites.

Option 3 – Referral program

Another way you used to be able to earn from OnePoll was through their referral program, where you could get paid to invite other people.

However, as of updating this review that option is no longer there.

Many people have asked me about this, so that is why I still wanted to mention it here to avoid confusion.

So to make it clear, you can no longer get paid to invite people to join OnePoll.

How do you get paid?

A good thing about OnePoll is that redeeming your accumulated money is very convenient.

That's because they allow you to get your payout via PayPal. But aside from that, you can also request payment through BACS.

For those not familiar with BACS, it is an automated payment system that is mainly operating in the U.K. It has plenty of electronic payment affiliates in the region.

Here's a video of what BACS is:

But before you can request payment from OnePoll, you have to reach the minimum payment threshold of £25. That's quite a high threshold considering each survey you take will usually only reward you with less than £1.

However, the payout threshold used to be £40 so it is an improvement that they have lowered, but it is still too high, in my opinion.

It's a lot of surveys you need to complete before you can request payment.

It also takes up to 28 days before you actually receive the payment that you requested. That's a very long time.

You also need to be aware that if you decide to get paid via PayPal, there will be a transaction fee, so you will not get the full amount you have earned.

Overall the payout methods on OnePoll are nice, as you can get your earning in cash. But the threshold is just too high compared to the fastest paying survey sites, in my opinion.

How much money can you make?

Most of the surveys I have been able to get on OnePoll only offer around 0.20 points. That is an equivalent of £0.20.

If that is the average reward per survey, you are looking at more than 100 surveys you need to complete before you can hope to request payment.

Of course, I cannot say this is the average as there also are surveys that pay more, and the exact rewards will vary from survey to survey.

But no matter what, you should expect it to take weeks and even months to reach the payout threshold, so you will need some patience.

The fact that it gives fairly low rewards and has such a high payout threshold is what put me off with OnePoll. In my opinion, you are better off spending your time with survey sites that offer better rewards.

Their prize draws do offer higher rewards ranging from £100 to £1000, which are some really nice rewards and a nice extra chance.

Also, they do regularly have contests on their Facebook page. If you are lucky, you can win £10 by participating in these.

But then again, it isn't a reliable way to earn money. You can consider yourself lucky if you win one in a year – and there is no guarantee, so you might never win one.

Can you use it on mobile?

A good thing about OnePoll is that they do have an app that you can use to answer surveys.

The OnePoll app is available in both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

The OnePoll app is available in both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

But you can also go the mobile browser route. You will be able to log in to their website using a mobile browser.

The homepage of their website looks pretty good since you will be able to see all the content properly.

The problem is, once you log in to the website, you have to scroll sideways in order to see the full content of the page.

It seems that they did not optimize their member dashboard for mobile use, unlike most other survey sites. It is still doable to answer the surveys, but you'd have to scroll sideways a lot to see the whole content.

But if you have an iPhone or an Android phone, it is not a problem as you can then use their app.

Who can join OnePoll?

There is no registration fee required to become a member of OnePoll. You do, however, have to be at least 18 years of age to register.

That's because some of the surveys require that you have to be at least 18 years of age to participate.

When you go to OnePoll.com you can mainly find info for businesses. But in the top corner, you can choose if you want to register for the UK or the US panel.

That means that you can only join if you live in one of these 2 countries.

The registration process is fairly easy. Plus, after you complete your registration, you will receive a bonus of £0.50 that will be credited to your account directly. This bonus used to be higher but they have, unfortunately, lowered it but still a nice starting bonus.

Can you get support?

A redeeming quality of OnePoll is that they have a good customer support system.

They usually answer your queries within a day. That is actually a pretty good rate compared to other survey sites.

When I took a look at their Contact Us page, they do display their complete address, phone number, as well as email address where you can reach them.

That's a good indication that they are really a legit site.

You can use the contact form for any inquiries or issues you encounter.

They also provide a contact form that you can fill up in case you have any questions or encounter any issues with the site.

A quick look at their social media pages shows that they are also active on that platform. That means you will be able to engage with them on those platforms as well.

Final Verdict

OnePoll is definitely a legit survey site.

They reward you with real money as long as you hit the minimum required amount to request payment. But it also has some big drawbacks.

So let's finish this review by summing up its pros and cons so you can get a better overview before deciding if it is a platform worth your time or not.

pros

Pros:

  • Good customer service
  • Good payout methods
  • Has user-friendly app
cons

Cons:

  • Fairly low rewards for completing surveys
  • High payment threshold
  • Few earning opportunities

All in all, OnePoll is a decent survey site. But the high payment threshold and the fairly low survey rewards just don't make it a very appealing choice, in my opinion.

To earn a significant amount, you will have to invest a lot of time. It might be worth checking out as an extra site, but I think you should definitely make sure to also join other sites as OnePoll alone will give too limited opportunities.

There are, in general, just far better choices regarding survey sites. Plus, it mostly seems to be available in the UK. So if you live in a different country, I recommend you see the best paid survey sites in your country.

  1. I agree with Ben’s comments. The site gives every appearance of being legit, but my experience was that as soon as I had enough points for a reward they closed my account. When I queried this I was told that I had to submit all kinds of ID, including photos of my ID and photos of myself ‘holding the ID’ An attempt to unsubscribe was also unsuccessful because ‘my account was no longer active’, so I had to list the site as Spam
    Best avoided!
