I tested LEO (Leger Opinion) myself and show my payment proof in my video. It is legit and professional, but the payout threshold is high and the support is unstable. Below is what I found, and which sites I recommend if you want to earn faster.
Legit, but a high threshold and slow support
A professional Canadian survey site with monthly contests. You need 20,000 points ($20) to cash out, and support can take weeks.

The short answer
LEO, or Leger Opinion, is a legit survey site that pays you for completing its surveys. Everything about it looks professional, from the website to the mobile app.
But the payout threshold is a bit high, so it can take patience to reach it, and the support is very unstable, in my experience. It can be a decent secondary site if you live in Canada or the US. Just don’t expect to earn a lot from it.
- User-friendly site
- Mobile app for Android and iOS
- Several payment methods
- Monthly contests with significant prizes
- Fairly high payout threshold: 20,000 points ($20)
- You can only withdraw a specific amount per reward
- Support is often slow
- No guaranteed number of survey invites
- Only Canada and the US

Is LEO legit and safe?
Yes, LEO is legit and pays you for its surveys. But that does not mean it is worth your time. Here is what you should know before you join.
- A fairly high payout threshold
You need 20,000 points ($20) to cash out to PayPal or a prepaid Visa card. Based on my experience while testing the platform, it can take quite some time before you can cash out.
- Fixed reward amounts
You can only redeem the exact value stated in the reward. If the PayPal reward says $20, that is the only value you can redeem.
- Support is very unstable
I have been in contact with them several times. Sometimes I got a fairly quick reply, but other times it took weeks, and I had to write them several times to get an answer.
- Surveys fill up
Each survey has a set number of respondents for each profile. If the quota is reached before you answer, you can be disqualified. LEO does not promise to email you about every survey, so log in often.
- One account only
If LEO finds out you have another account, both accounts are closed right away, and you lose all your rewards.
My takeEverything about LEO screams professional. However, the biggest drawback is that its payout threshold is a bit high, so it can sometimes take a bit of patience to reach. And the support is very unstable, in my experience. It can be a decent secondary site to earn from if you live in Canada or the US. Just don’t expect to earn a lot from it.
How you earn on LEO
There are 3 ways to earn, plus one feature that does not pay. Surveys are the main one. Tap one to read more.
LEO surveysMain earner
LEO has a decent number of surveys. When you log in, you see all available surveys, with the reward, the estimated time and the bonus contest entries for each.
On your first login, you see a profile survey. You are rewarded for it, so complete it right away.
Each survey has a set number of respondents for each profile. If other members fill the quota before you, you are disqualified or cannot continue. LEO usually only emails you when it must reach a quota, so log in often to check for surveys.
Monthly contestsPrizes, not guaranteed
You earn contest entries, called chances, when you complete surveys. The profile survey gives you 5 chances. LEO usually holds more than one contest a month, and you can spread your chances over them.
Your chances reset at the end of every month, so you cannot save them up. The prizes are cash or checks worth a significant amount. In my opinion, these are some of the better contests held by survey sites.
Referral program1,000 points each
You earn 1,000 points and one contest entry for each friend you refer. They have to complete their profile and answer at least one survey before you get the reward.
Love, Hate, RateNo pay
You can rate any company, brand, product or service, such as a coffee shop or a city you visited. Leger uses this feedback to give ratings to businesses and brands.
You do not earn anything for it, but it is an interesting feature, in my opinion.
How much can you make?
To earn more, you have to complete a lot of surveys, and for that you need plenty of survey invites. There is no guarantee you get a regular number. You may get a few surveys per quarter, month or week, depending on LEO’s current needs and how often your profile matches its clients.
Because you need 20,000 points to cash out, it can take quite some time to reach a payout. Overall, the earning potential is a bit low. If you are lucky in the contests, they can boost your earnings.
Payout methods and minimums
| Method | Minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal | 20,000 points ($20) | Only the exact amount stated in the reward |
| Prepaid Visa debit card | 20,000 points ($20) | Cash alternative to PayPal |
| Gift cards: Starbucks and Tim Hortons | The value stated in the reward | Fixed amounts |
| Reward miles: Aeroplan and Air Miles | The value stated in the reward | Convert your points into miles |
| Check | The value stated in the reward | Requested from LEO |
LEO pays in points: 1,000 points is $1. The redemption is straightforward, but you can only redeem the exact value stated in each reward, which makes it less versatile. I do like that it offers several payment options. For more sites with PayPal, see the top survey sites in Canada and the top survey sites in the US.
Is LEO available in your country?
You can only register from Canada and the US. Pick your country to see if LEO is on my list of the best sites there, and which sites are.
What 22 readers told me
This review has 22 comments since September 2020: 11 from readers and 11 replies from me. These are the three things readers wrote about most.
Readers report surveys that glitch or end before the finish, points that were not added, and one blocked account. Contact the support first, but expect it to take patience.
Readers waited a long time for their rewards. I agree that payment processing is very slow at times compared to many other sites.
Expect any survey site to ask for some kind of verification before it pays you.
“You can only cashout $20 at a time and processing it takes 10-15 business days and even then it will be another few days until you actually get paid.”
Mikael: I agree that the payment processing is very slow at times compared to many other sites. Personally, I also have had quite poor experiences with their support…
“I earned a gift card and they blocked my account and didn’t pay. Customer service doesn’t reply.”
Mikael: Sorry to hear that. Did they say why they blocked you account?
“Does anyone know if they ask for photo ID or selfie when you go to cash out your points?”
Mikael: In general, you should expect any survey site to ask for some kind of verification before they pay you. They have a lot of fraud, so they have to do this.

Who tested LEO for this review
If you have any comments, questions, or experiences with LEO, I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
Leo is a huge scam! I earned a gift card and they blocked my account and didn’t pay. Customer service doesn’t reply.
Sorry to hear that. Did they say why they blocked you account?
I’ve been using Leo for a bit . The last little while I’ve been booted out when nearing the end . I have my wifi on at home when doing survey. After 3 times I gave up. Total waste of my minutes. Not to mention frustrating.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Have you contacted their support to check if there is anything wrong with your account?
Leo surveys are scamming people I have tons of points in their holding me back I can’t finish any surveys I waste 20 minutes and then it just glitches and it’s not my and I’ve done it from four different devices fucking bullshit just another one
Sorry to hear that but thanks for sharing your experiences and warning others.
MIKAEL, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF BROX SURVEYS OR BROXPANEL.COM? I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THEM, BUT HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THEM. LET ME KNOW IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING, THANK YOU.
No, I have not heard about it, and I cannot find the info and the website you shared is not working. If you received an email from them without ever having signed up or said yes to getting emails, it is suspicious, so I would be very careful.
Hello,
Does anyone know if they ask for photo ID or selfie when you go to cash out your points?
Thank you in advance!
In general, you should expect any survey site to ask for some kind of verification before they pay you. They have a lot of fraud, so they have to do this.
I’ve completed the survey that worth 2000 Points. But unfortunately, no points had been added to my account. I’ve been waiting for over a week now. Disappointing. Also it takes a while to get to those 20000 in order to redeem.
You can try contacting their support. But as I describe in the review above, I do not have good experiences with their support. Let me know how it goes.
0 stars for LEO.
I have been doing surveys since a long time. But they are so disappointing now.
They have not deposited 20000points that I have earned by doing a lengthy focused group survey!
They shows the record in “History” page as if it has been given to fool me. But my total points did nit go up by 20000points and they did not give the points that I earned so far and I keep messaging them- I stopped doing their surveys since this fraud.
They will try their best to avoid giving large amount of points even if we’ve spent our time and shared the true information. If a company cannot correct the mistakes and do the just, there is no trust left from any aspect!!
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I find earning the points simple enough and they do pay out a decent number of points even if you don’t qualify for the full survey. Where they fall down though is in the redemption process. You can only cashout $20 at a time and processing it takes 10-15 business days and even then it will be another few days until you actually get paid. If you want to cash in more than the 20000 points you need to get $20, you’ll have to wait until the previous cashout is processed. As an example, I cashed out 80000 points starting in mid-November, and it took me over 6 weeks to cash out completely. Annoying.
I agree that the payment processing is very slow at times compared to many other sites. Personally, I also have had quite poor experiences with their support so there definitely are some things they should work on improving, in my opinion.
I’m in Canada, it takes a long time to get a reward sent to you and when you as a question re when you’ll get your prize, no answer.
I agree that it takes quite a lot of patience compared to many other survey sites in Canada.
Thanks for sharing your experiences about this.
I cashout on August 28 and since then it has been showing WAITING
Then on September 1 it change to PROCCESSED But I haven’t seen my cashout in my PayPal
Please kindly shed some light on this
I messaged support but no reply
Can I ask which country you are from?
USA
You have not used VPN to make it look like you are from the US even though you really live in another country? Because the location from where you are committing suggests that you are not physically located in the US.
If that is the case, then they will not pay you as it is fraud to use VPN to make it look like you are from a country you are not. So if you want to use these sites, you have to do it honestly and stick to sites that are available in your country. Which country do you live in? Then I will be happy to suggest some sites that are available there.
