WARNING: As of early 2018, many OpinionBar users have been experiencing problems collecting payment and customer service inquiries appear to be going unanswered. Please bear this in mind if you are continuing to complete surveys for OpinionBar.

Millions of people express their opinions with OpinionBar each year! Since 1999, OpinionBar has been conducting online surveys on a large variety of subjects. They have worked with many international brands like UNICEF, Yahoo, Microsoft and Heineken, to name a few. Join OpinionBar and influence the future of business. OpinionBar is run by MetrixLab BV, an international online market research company.

Perks of Joining OpinionBar

OpinionBar offers its members the option to take online surveys, some of which are game-like in nature, or even test new products (and keep them!) before they are released. The fun and easy nature of the surveys make it simple to give your opinion on decisions being made by large corporations. You may also be asked to judge the latest websites or TV commercials or to participate in online brainstorms.

Earn Up To €10 Per Survey

Members who take online surveys will earn between €1.00 and €10.00 for each survey they complete. Panelists will be invited to participate in at least one survey per month and most can be completed in a short 10 minutes, although higher paying surveys may take longer. Even if you are screened out, OpinionBar will reward you with €0.10 for your time. Unlike other panels, you receive cash, not vouchers!

Earn Cash or Donate

Once your account reaches a balance of €10.00, members have two options. They may either request a payment via bank transfer or donate their earnings to a charity of their choice. Payments are issued on the 1st week of every month, and may take up to six weeks to show up in bank records, depending on the country you reside in.

Eligibility: Multiple members can join from the same household who are 18+.

Don't expect much.

February 28, 2015 by Leo from United Kingdom

After a few years had enough! I redeemed about £11 a year despite having logged daily and tried possibly all the surveys available, which could have been ok had it been a more serious website.

CONS: Not existent c-s. eg. payment was rejected (same details as previous payment, so couldn't explain why, unless it was their way to just delay payments!), not a single reply, maybe an automated one. After 3 months payment was successful.

However, I recently wasted too much time:
With their app-survey a few times, emailed asked for help, whether they had my completed survey, but never received a single reply.
Similarly happened with a few online surveys, which I completed and other re-tried, but then magically appeared all closed the next day. Not a single reply from c-s.

I don't think there is anybody behind their website, it must be all run by computers hence the incapability to humanly reply.

The PRO is that you can redeem the available balance directly to your bank, once reached the 'achievable' minimum of £10.
You may also receive 5/10p if you dnq. Some surveys were nice, but others really too long.
Overall Not worth my effort. I'm done with them.

Utter waste of time

March 18, 2012 by jane from United Kingdom

I was recommended ths site and have to say after sign up i was quite impressed. Was offered a few surveys for the first couple of weeks. Qualified for one and earned £1 for 15 minutes and other surveys i ddnt qualify for paid 5-10 pence for my trouble. I know it takes a few months with some sites to get regular surveys but after three months i still had no more money than i did the first couple of weeks. With a low payout of £10 it should be a good site but reams of profiles need to be filled out and no surveys i closed my account

lack of surveys

October 5, 2011 by Mary from United Kingdom

Gave up with this site. Since registration hadn't had one single survey. Total waste of time. Despite logging in there wasnt one survey there I could do. Far better spending your time on other sites that do want your opinions.

hard to get balance to increase

May 16, 2023 by Anita from United Kingdom

I've been with this panel for years, initially they use to give you 10p for surveys you didnt qualify for, but since they upgraded themselves, you dontt receive anything now. So I have a balance under the cashout amount, which I've been struggling to increase for sometime now.

Promblematic Site

April 13, 2018 by Seraphia from United States

I have been a member of this site for awhile now and just requested a payout a couple of weeks ago. Well, I got an e-mail to go and take a survey there today and when I tried to I was told that I am not registered with that site. If that be the case why am I getting e-mails, addressed to me, to come and take surveys? Makes no sense. I sent them an e-mail concerning my problem but received one back saying I needed to be signed in to send them e-mails concerning any issues I have. That is ridiculous. They have created a problem but now I have to create a new account just to ask them questions. My suggestion...avoid this site. Something is not right concerning them and it will end up being a waste of your time.

Update August 5th, 2017: OpinonBar is a legit site. I have had several issues with them. I have found that when it comes to e-mailing the helpdesk it is literally a waste of time but one you should do nonetheless. Here's why...it creates a trail. I have looked up the parent company on FACEBOOK. If you contact them there they WILL respond to you and get to the bottom of the issue that you are having. I had received no payment after several weeks after requesting one. I sent them a message, they got back to me after a couple days and then handled the problem with Opinionbar. So if they owe you money...FIND THEM ON FACEBOOK AND MESSAGE THEM. They will handle it.

Update: April 11, 2018 - I have been a member of OpinionBar for years but for some reason when I tried to log in to take a survey that THEY e-mailed me to take, I was told that none of my information to log in was correct. I requested to change my password and they said my e-mail was not valid. They deleted my account. I do not have multiple accounts with this site, so they took my account down for no reason. I created a new one to see if it was possible with the same e-mail and it went through. I have e-mailed the helpdesk AND the parent company. They have essentially stole the over $8 I had earned toward a third payout with them. I am far from pleased. If my questions are not answered and I am not reinstated the money I have earned I will be deleting my account with them and warning all against working with them.
