Legit and pays, but a high threshold and many sites pay more
Surveys with PayPal and gift card payouts, from $25 in US dollars. Few surveys at a time and support that does not always help.

The short answer
Poll Pay is legit. It has paid me many times. It is owned by Prodege, the company that also owns InboxDollars, and it pays through PayPal and gift cards.
But the threshold is high: $25 for PayPal in US dollars, and you pay a fee when you withdraw. You usually only have a couple of surveys at a time. Poll Pay is not a bad survey platform, but many sites pay more and have a better payment system.

Is Poll Pay legit and safe?
Yes, Poll Pay is legit. It has paid me many times. But legit does not mean problem-free. Here is what you should know before you start.
- Older reports of payouts that did not arrive
From 2021 to 2023, readers wrote about PayPal cashouts that did not arrive, phone verification they could not complete, and support that did not reply. I had bad experiences too, before the new company took over. Since then I have not had issues, and a reader in November 2022 thanked Poll Pay for the money.
- A high threshold and a fee
PayPal in US dollars needs $25. You also pay a fee when you withdraw. You see it before you request a payout.
- Never use a VPN or an emulator
Faking your country is fraud. Poll Pay bans accounts that do it.
- Game rewards are in points
Readers thought the game missions paid in dollars and then saw cents. Read the details of each game and its missions before you start.
- Support does not always help
There are things the support used to not help with. I have not needed it since the takeover, so I cannot say how well it works now.
My takeIn my opinion, Poll Pay is not a bad survey platform. It offers convenient payment methods, PayPal and gift cards, and it is easy to use. The biggest issues are that it does not always give good support, and that the payout system does not work as well as on many other survey sites. If you can live with this, it can be a decent way to earn a bit extra.
How you earn on Poll Pay
There are 4 ways to earn. Paid surveys make up most of the money. Tap one to read more.
Paid surveys$0.30 to $3 each
Complete the profile survey first. It takes less than 5 minutes, and you only do it once. Then the paid surveys unlock. Each survey shows how long it takes and what it pays.
You answer qualifying questions first. If you do not qualify, you get $0.01 for your time. It is not much, but not all survey apps do this.
Poll Pay offers many of the same surveys as other sites. Choose wisely: some give good value for your time, others do not.
Referral program15% commission
Share your invite code. You get 15% of what your referrals earn. Poll Pay pays this, so it is not deducted from your referral. Remind them to enter your code when they register. See how to get referrals for survey and GPT sites.
Playing gamesPer mission
Go to the Games section and install a game by scanning the QR code or emailing the link to your phone. Do not skip this step, because that is how Poll Pay tracks your progress. Complete the missions of each game, then move on to the next game.
Paid offersNone when I tested
There were no offers available when I tested Poll Pay, which I found weird. On other GPT sites, you pick an offer, follow every step, and earn coins. Miss one step, and you do not get the reward.
How much can you make?
Poll Pay claims it has a ton of surveys. I do not believe that claim. In my experience, you usually only have a couple of surveys at any given time. You might get around 5 to 7 at the beginning, but those numbers do not last. It depends on your profile.
You usually earn $0.30 to $3 per survey, based on what I saw during my testing. That is similar to many other survey sites. How much you earn also depends on your country.
Overall, Poll Pay has decent earning potential. It is not one of the highest paying survey sites, but as an extra site, it can give you a bit extra.
Payout methods, minimums and fees
| Method | Minimum | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal in US dollars | $25 (2,500 coins) | Shown before you confirm |
| PayPal in euros | €15 | Shown before you confirm |
| Amazon gift cards | Similar to PayPal | Shown before you confirm |
The threshold depends on the reward you choose. $25 is quite a high amount, so it takes patience to reach. Many survey sites have more flexible payout methods and a better payment system.
What 39 readers told me
This review has 39 comments since 2021: 22 from readers and 17 replies from me. These are the four things readers wrote about most.
From 2021 and 2022. Readers waited for PayPal payouts, or could not verify a US phone number to cash out. Support was slow to reply.
Readers from 2024 thought a game paid $1 per task and saw $0.01. The rewards are shown in points, not dollars.
The first cashout can take longer, because survey sites check that everything is OK.
Poll Pay bans accounts that break its terms, for example with a VPN.
“It then appeared as if it was a successful cash out BUT I received nothing in my pay pal account.”
Mikael: Personally, I have been paid by it many times as you can also see proof of above. … But sometimes survey sites need a bit more time to verify everything is ok if it is the first time you cash out.
“Thankyou very much for transfer of money great app”
Mikael: Thanks for sharing your experiences.
“I came to realise that in actually fact, the money I gain was $0.01 or 1 cent.”
Mikael: Maybe you misunderstood how it was written because they wrote the points you would earn and not dollars?
Poll Pay alternatives I have tested
| Site | Best for | Min. cashout | My rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prime Opinion | Surveys only, fast payouts | $5 or $10, by country | 4.6 / 5 |
| Survey Junkie | US, Canada, Australia and the UK | $5 | 4.4 / 5 |
| Swagbucks | Many daily ways to earn | About $5 PayPal | 4.3 / 5 |
| InboxDollars | US only, same owner as Poll Pay | $15 first time, then $10 | 3.9 / 5 |

If you have any comments, questions, or experiences with Poll Pay, I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
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.
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 ?.
Thankyou very much for transfer of money great app
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Am from Kenya which are best survey sites will i try
You can check out this list of the best international sites which are the ones you should go for.
How much time it takes to payout the money
Do you experience a limit to how many surveys you can take with this app? Every time i complete 3 surveys I get the no surveys available please try later message which is a big lie as creating another account on my partners phone shows there are still plenty. Once I cash out I think I will be abandoning this app as there is definitely something shady with them especially the high paying surveys that almost never load at all or suddenly kick you out even after saying you’re the exact respondent they’re looking for
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I have not experienced this. But if you let me know which country you live in, I will be happy to suggest some better survey sites and apps.

hi there
is normal that when you want to cashout your money you pay 110$ as paypal fee (i use android emulator)
No, that is definitely not normal. It sounds like the emulator you are using is trying to scam you or something like that.
Also, be aware that if you use an emulator to try to fake your country or cheat in any way, survey apps will detect it and ban you.
I love this app I hope it can really help me …
Glad to hear you like it.
But they banned me and now they are not replying
If they banned you because you broke their terns, there is nothing to do about it.
How long to get PayPal payout
I explain this in the review above.
I waited longer than the “5 days since 1st survey completed’ timeline that they failed to mention ANYWHERE, it took 7 or 8 days before they allowed me to attempt a cash out. I then cashed out to pay pal, my address was absolutely correct because I used the automatic filler that my phone has which I have used elsewhere hundreds of times with success. Plus I looked at it & double checked. It then appeared as if it was a successful cash out BUT I received nothing in my pay pal account. It has been hours & still I have received nothing. In my opinion that is apprehensible because their app states it is immediate. I have been to several other apps that do not lie like this one! I was able to find in the app a contact us area and I did send a message however that did not seem to be legit either. They are pure thieves in my opinion, they haven’t responded either. I am going to Twitter now!
Personally, I have been paid by it many times as you can also see proof of above.
As to what has happened in your case, I cannot say. But sometimes survey sites need a bit more time to verify everything is ok if it is the first time you cash out. But if you have done everything honestly, you will get your money.
But I definitely do agree that they could improve their support.
I am having this issue as well. It says on their FAQ pay pal should be instant but it could take up to 48hrs I’m on day 3 still haven’t gotten it. I sent in 2 questions to them through the “help” tab they have on the app and have got no response. It’s sucks because I was really happy with this app until this. Hoping it goes through eventually but tbh I’ve read this is quite common and most people don’t get paid ever.
SCAM. They stole over 40 hours and tons of personal information for me. I hope that one day they have a nice class action lawsuit. Against them, of course. Bunch of shysters. And I would definitely say it’s shady and it is a scam and to not trust them.
i am in Nigeria can i join pollpay surveys
Yes, you should be able to, but you will not really find any surveys there.
I’ve been trying to contact them multiple ways all day. I’m located in the US and wish to get paid through my PayPal account. Well Poll Pay wants to verify your phone number but you can’t if in US because it’s set up for European numbers. I tried everything and it won’t work! It’s pretty crappy that you take time to take surveys and let’s be honest it can take a long while to get up to even the $15 payout (US). Then you get that amount only to find out you can’t cash out through your chosen payment method and you can’t get anyone to contact you from Poll Pay. I guess I can do Amazon or Target but I really don’t want to.
If you have just reached out to them today, then give them a bit of time to get back to you. They likely get a lot of support questions so it will usually not be instant answer. So give it a bit of time for them to reply.
Keep me updated about how it goes.
Just had that same thing happen im so pissed.
Sorry to hear that Cynthia. Mae sure to contact their support. And let me know how it goes.
I requested a 10$ apple gift card. How long should it take for me to actually get it?
If you check out the video in the review above where I show payment proof, you will get all the info about this.
I’m looking for my payout from poll pay my information from poll pay n PayPal is up to date
Sorry but I do not understand what you mean.
I m new have $29 enough to get a $25 amazon gift card but finished a survey it pops up and says banned permanently on my account don’t know anything I did wrong ???
Did you use VPN to make it look like you are from a country you are not? Because then you will definitely get banned as that is fraud.
