Participate in a Variety of Research Studies

PanelBase is unique in the number of different research options they offer their members to participate in. Many of their surveys offer different experiences than other panels, such as listening to radio advertisements or reviewing video adverts. The following is a list of the types of research offered and the forms of media you may carry out the research through:

• Internet (Email, SMS)
• Telephone
• Mobile Phone (SMS and WAP)
• Focus Groups (Email, Phone, Post)
• Postal
• Product Testing (Email, Phone, Post)

Survey Details

Most surveys will take about 5 to 10 minutes to complete. However, some survey opportunities may last longer than this but will be compensated in proportion to time spent. Survey topics range from clothing and accessories, fast food, business issues, green issues, politics, and more. Survey rewards range from £0.25 and £10 for successfully completing a survey, but more complex studies could be rewarded up to £50 each.

Every survey that is sent to you from PanelBase will offer a financial reward. If you happen to get screened out of a survey, you will automatically receive an entry into a cash prize draw.

Monthly Sweepstakes

Some surveys with PanelBase offer members an entry into prize draws in addition to cash earnings. In these draws you could win anything from a £100 shopping voucher to the hottest electronics or even a case of quality wine! In addition to this draw, each survey you complete also gains you one entry into the monthly prize draw, which consists of the following cash prizes:

• 2 x £50.00
• 10 x £10.00
• 20 x £5.00
• 50 x £2.00
• 250 x £1.00

Winners lists are kept current and are published every month. You can view them on Panelbase's website.

After I have cashed-out twice, the amount of surveys has reduced.

February 27, 2017 by Lee from United Kingdom

Panelbase is a pretty good starting point for those who are new and want to start earning a bit of cash, because they are usually reliable with both sending out surveys and with payment.

The one small issue I have is that it's not 'always' clear when one of their surveys is actually a 'sign up' incentive where you're credited some points to join another survey site, but you can always just refuse to proceed with it.

A few years ago they introduced a new feature (similar to that found on Yougov) which allowed members to create their own questions for the community to answer, and while this was a fun addition to the site, it sadly has no impact on the amount of money you make from their official surveys.

Overall a decent survey site.

I've been with panelbase for about a year now and receive regular surveys to complete (usually 1-3 a day). I qualify for around half of them and rewards given are usually fair.

Pay out can be a little slow, sometimes taking more than a week for a BACS payment, however having the option to have the funds paid directly into your bank rather than paypal or amazon vouchers is a nice advantage over other sites. I've never had issues with withdrawing money and have earned a decent amount of money since registering with them

I don't know whether it's just my demographics that don't fit with the majority of Panelbase surveys, but I get a high screenout rate with them. However, I have cashed out with them a couple of times, and the surveys are generally pretty interesting. I'll be keeping them on my to-do list for now.

I have filled in numerous surveys, many of which stopped me halfway through to say I did not qualify. This was after I had disclosed lots of personal information about my bank accounts, pension, savings, ideas on retirement, what I watch on tv, who lives in my house etc. Up to now my GRAND TOTAL is just over a fiver (£3 of which was added as a starter incentive by Panelbase.) Really, don't bother, this is a complete waste of time and you will give up a lot of your time and a lot of your personal information.
