If you are looking for a simple way to earn extra cash, there’s an app and website called Poll Pay that promises to pay you for answering polls and surveys. They say they offer you a ton of surveys for you to complete and earn rewards from.
Whether that is true or not remains to be seen. But before you download this app or join their website, there are a few things you have to check.
First and foremost, is Poll Pay legit and a safe way to earn or not? After all, you wouldn’t want to answer surveys and, in the end, not get paid.
I have tested the website and app thoroughly myself, and this Poll Pay review will give you an inside look, show all the details, and reveal both the pros and the cons so you can easily figure out if it is really worth using or not.
What is Poll Pay, and what does it offer?
Poll Pay is a legit survey app (and now also a survey website but more about this later) that will pay you for answering surveys. It’s a fairly straightforward platform since it only offers a couple of ways to earn rewards.
Now, how will you know if this platform is worth using or not? Well, the best way to do that is to examine the earning opportunities it offers so you can get a clear picture of how you can earn from it.
So, I created a small video that gives you an inside look and shows exactly how you can earn from Poll Pay. You can also read all the details below the video:

Option 1 – Paid surveys
Most of your earnings from Poll Pay will come from paid surveys. To earn rewards simply log in to the app or website and answer surveys.
Before you can answer surveys, though, you have to complete the qualifying survey first (refer to the photo above). This survey will ask you profiling questions. Once you complete it, the actual surveys that offer rewards will be unlocked.
You only have to do this once, so make sure to answer it the first time you log in to Poll Pay. It will only take you less than 5 minutes to complete.
Once the paid surveys are unlocked, you can then answer any survey available. As shown in the photo above, each survey will show you how long it will take to complete it and how much you will earn for completing it.
When you answer a survey, you will first have to go through a set of qualifying questions so that Poll Pay can determine if you belong to the demographic the survey is intended for. If you qualify, you get to answer the actual survey questions.
After completing the survey, you will receive the reward promised, and it will be credited to your Poll Pay account balance (I will talk about how to withdraw your earnings later).
If you fail to qualify for the survey, you will get a small compensation of $0.01 for the time you spent answering their qualifying questions.
It’s not much, but at least you get something out of it. Not all survey sites and apps offer compensation even if you don’t qualify for a survey.
However, even though Poll Pay offers a decent number of surveys, it does not offer anything special compared to other survey sites and apps, in my opinion.
It offers many of the same surveys, and it has some disadvantages when it comes to the payout methods you need to consider before joining, but more about that below in the section about payment methods.
Let's first go over the second earning method you can use.
Option 2 – Referral program
You can supplement your earnings from paid surveys by participating in their referral program.
If this is your first time hearing about a referral program, check out this guide on how to get referrals for survey and GPT sites.
The referral program is fairly straightforward as well. Simply invite people to join Poll Pay by sharing your invite code. Once the person you invite registers as a member using your invite code, they will become your referral.
And as shown in the photo above, you will receive 15% of whatever they will earn on Poll Pay. This commission will be shouldered by Poll Pay and will not be deducted from your referral’s earnings.
So, make sure to invite people who are really interested in answering surveys. Otherwise, you won’t really earn anything from their referral program. You also have to remind them to input your invite code when they register.
Also, if you are not yet a member, you can get a $0.25 joining bonus if you use a code from someone who is already a member.
You are more than welcome to use my code since I am already a member. You can use this code to get your joining bonus: N3BZNXB5QP
However, before joining, make sure to read the section below about the payment methods, as there are some important details you need to know about this.

How do you get paid?
You will earn a certain amount for every survey you complete on Poll Pay. As mentioned earlier, your rewards will be credited to your Poll Pay account.
The payout options have changed quite a bit since I first joined Poll Pay. It used to offer PayPal and gift cards. Now you can get paid via PayPal and many different cryptos.
The payout threshold can vary from country to country. But in many countries, you can withdraw when you have earned $10. The threshold used to be only $5, so a shame they have increased this, in my opinion.
Also, be aware that the threshold for crypto is $15, so that will take a bit more patience to reach. And there will be a fee when you withdraw.
The exact fee will depend on your chosen method, but you can always see the fee before you request a payout so you know what to expect.
And I know from personal experience that it actually does pay – most of the time. But I have also had some bad experiences when trying to cash out.
At the time of updating this review, I have a payment that is pending and waiting for approval. And there are several confusing things about this.
When I go to see the payout status, it says the supplier has delivery issues, even though I have chosen PayPal as a payout option. And it then says I will have to wait more than a month to potentially get my money.
That in itself is bad enough, but it gets even worse. At the same time, I got a message saying that my payout request was on hold for suspicious behavior. This does not make sense at all, as I always use survey sites honestly and I have not even taken surveys on Poll Pay for a long time.
And they clearly wrote that I should not contact support about this as that would not speed up the process.
This means that I do not really know why I cannot get paid – is it because they do not have funds right now, or is it because, for some strange reason, they have flagged my account? And I am not allowed to contact their support about this.
And I did not even get a message about this issue. I found out by going into my account and checking the payment status, as it had been a while since I requested a payout, and I wanted to check why.
Therefore, the Poll Pay payment system does not work very well, in my opinion.
I want to make it clear that I have been paid in the past without issues, but how the system works now and the poor options to get info about what is going on with your payouts is a deal-breaker, in my opinion.
There are many survey websites that pay without any issues, and that just have a way better payment system.
How much money can you make?
The amount of money you can earn from Poll Pay will depend on how many surveys you can complete and how well they pay for every survey you complete. They claim they have a ton of surveys for you to complete and earn rewards from. But I don’t really believe that claim.
In my experience, you will usually only have a couple of surveys available at any given time. You might receive around 5 to 7 surveys at the beginning, but you can’t really expect those numbers to be maintained.
The availability of surveys will really depend on your profile, and you don’t have control over it. All you can really do is answer their profile survey as honestly as you can and hope for the best.
Now, as for how much you will earn per survey, you will usually earn between $0.30-$3, which is quite decent and quite similar to what you can earn on many other survey sites per survey. From time to time, there will be surveys that are worth more. But that’s the usual range you will encounter.
However, how much you will earn per survey will depend on the country you live in. In some countries, you might only get lower paying surveys and in some, mostly higher paying.
Also, just make sure to choose the surveys you complete wisely. Some of them give quite good value for your time, while others do not. But you can always see the estimated time and reward before starting a survey, so use this to plan which surveys will be worth it.
Overall, I would say Poll Pay has decent earning potential. It is not one of the highest paying survey sites, but as an extra site, it can give a bit of extra earnings.
Can you use it on a desktop?
When Poll Pay started, you could only use it on a mobile device. But they have since expanded and now allow members to answer surveys from their laptop or desktop.
You will be able to log in to the site from your laptop or desktop and answer surveys.
But if you prefer to do it on your mobile device, you can simply download their mobile app which is available on both the Android and iOS app stores. Their app is also very user-friendly. You will easily get used to how it works.
Who can join Poll Pay?
The good thing about Poll Pay is that it is available more or less globally. You will be able to register as a member regardless of where you live. But since it uses PayPal as its main payment method, you will have to be at least 18 years of age to join.
To become a member, you can sign up using your Twitter or Facebook account. You can also choose to use your Google or Apple account to log in.
Unfortunately, they don’t offer custom logins (providing your own email and password). But any of the four options mentioned are really convenient options, in my opinion.
Can you get support?
If you have any questions about Poll Pay, you can consult their FAQ page first. It discusses most of the basic topics you need to know.
If you have any questions that weren’t answered by their FAQ page, you can submit a request.
However, as explained earlier in this review, there are some things they will not help you with, and overall the support system does not work very well, in my experience and from what I also hear from other members.
In my opinion, an online rewards platform should always provide a convenient way for you to communicate with their support team, and this is one of the biggest let-downs of Poll Pay, in my opinion.
Final Verdict
Poll Pay is a legit survey app and website that will allow you to earn by answering surveys and by inviting friends. It has a couple of good features, but it also has some drawbacks.
So, let me conclude this review with a summary of its pros and cons to give you an overview of what Poll Pay has to offer. That way, you can better decide if it is worth joining or not.
Pros:
- Offers payment via PayPal
- Easy to use
Cons:
- Limited earning opportunities
- Doesn’t always offer support
- Has a fairly high payout threshold
- I have had problems with getting paid
In my opinion, Poll Pay isn’t a bad survey platform. It has its advantages, like offering convenient payment methods (PayPal and crypto), and it is easy to use.
However, the biggest issues about Poll Pay is that they do not always give good support, and then, of course, that the payout system just does not work as well as the payment systems on many other survey sites.
If you can live with this, then it can be a decent way to earn a bit extra by taking surveys.
But if you are looking for better ways to earn extra cash, I would suggest you check out the top survey and GPT sites in your country. The sites on this list all have good earning potential and pay quite well. They also have good support system for their members.
Plus, you will also find a site you can join regardless of where you live.
If you have any comments, questions, or have any experiences with Poll Pay yourself, I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
Good Day, I’m writing from South Africa
On the app there’s a offers tab where you ‘play games and earn money’. I downloaded several apps from that tab, where you get $1 for every task you complete. There’s a set challenge where for example, for every minute you play, you get a $1, but the minutes increase as you go up the tasks and conclude up to 488 minutes and $37 is the threshold when all tasks have been completed for a specific game or app. I came to realise that in actually fact, the money I gain was $0.01 or 1 cent. Does this somehow change and the real money offered will reflect as $37 or is this one of the app baits that makes users commit to tasks for them to only gain cents? Please help for clarity
Not sure exactly what you have seen, but you will, in general, nor find an app that will pay you $1 per minute you play and I have not seen Poll Pay claim anything like this. Maybe you misunderstood how it was written because they wrote the points you would earn and not dollars?
What happened?have you completed the task
How much balance is showing after completing it??
Cashed out or not yet?
Reply pls
Hi 👋. I played the game which was under offer for $37 after completion. Yes, I earned 1c per each task/minutes assigned. I completed the offer, I will update once I receive $37, fingers crossed 🤞.
Same. Then what’s the point of having a sign of $ if it’s not in dollars? Why is not ¢? And why is the time increasing if it is equivalent only to 1 cent? Then the players should just play every 1st minute of each game.
Not sure what you mean. Poll Pay is not paying you to play games but to take surveys. But you can see a list of the best ways to earn by playing here.
