I’ve tested quite a few paid survey sites so far, and I’ve seen a bit of everything. Some promise a lot and deliver very little. Others do pay, but you can’t go in with sky-high expectations. That’s why people are so divided on these sites, and honestly, I can see both sides.
That’s what brought me to KingOpinion. I wanted to know whether it’s a site you can trust or one you’re better off staying away from.
It’s not a scam, which was reassuring. But if you sign up without knowing how it works, you can end up wasting a lot of time. And to me, wasted time is still a loss, even if it doesn’t show up in your balance. How much time goes into it? And what do you get in return?
Below you’ll find everything I’ve learned since I opened my KingOpinion account: how it works, how often surveys show up, how much you can earn, and whether it’s worth the effort. So you know what to expect before you sign up.
What is KingOpinion and how does it work?
When you go on a paid survey site, you expect it to be the one asking you the questions. That’s what I thought about KingOpinion too. But the site doesn’t run any surveys. Instead, it connects you with large external market research firms (CPX Research, CINT, Toluna, PureSpectrum and Lucid), and you get rewarded for the opinions you give in their surveys. When you complete a study, the research firm pays KingOpinion a commission. That commission is how the site makes its money.
I feel better about a site when I know who’s responsible for it. KingOpinion is published and run by S GOBERT, EURL, a single-member limited liability company. Official business registries list Stanislas Jean Emile Gobert as its managing member and legal representative. No other founders are publicly named. That’s about it.
When I went to log in at app.kingopinion.com, the page said “Log in to Surveoo”, which I found odd. None of the site’s official pages mention a name change. Surveoo is its sister site (I call it a sister site because it has the same owner and operator, S GOBERT, EURL), and the two run on the same internal infrastructure, or at least share parts of the same branding. I don’t know for sure whether it’s one site under two names or just one company running two sites.
Knowing where the money comes from and which company is behind it is a good start. But that doesn’t make KingOpinion worth your time. Below, I go through the earning methods one at a time, along with the time and effort each one takes. Until you’ve seen those, you have no way of knowing whether it’s worth it.
Paid surveys
I once picked a survey on KingOpinion that promised a bit of money for 10 minutes, and I started it without a worry because the questions were simple: what food I buy and what phone I use. I could already picture the money in my balance. At the 8-minute mark, the disqualification screen popped up. Because I wasn’t exactly the person they were looking for. I got paid nothing. It still bugs me, because 8 minutes of a 10-minute survey is almost the whole thing, all for nothing.
That’s how surveys work on this site. When you sign up, you fill in a basic profile with your name, email, gender, and age. I figured that profile said enough about me. It doesn’t. Each partner network asks a few more screening questions before the survey itself, to see if you’re the kind of consumer they’re after. And as I found out, they can kick you out even after you’ve answered almost everything.
KingOpinion doesn’t write any of the surveys. The site just collects them from other networks in a task list and redirects you. You pick one, complete it, and if you don’t get disqualified, your balance goes up. The homepage lists the networks the surveys come from: Dynata, Lucid, CPX Research, Toluna, and Pure Spectrum. Seeing their names there reassures me, because I know who’s actually asking the questions. The recommendations page also points you to a few external sites: Surveoo, Opiday, Surveylama, and SurveyOpinion. If you’re looking around for other survey sites anyway, I’ve tested quite a few and written reviews of ReferVoice, CrowdTap, Triaba, and Ipsos iSay that you can read when you have a little free time.
The surveys you see and how much they pay depend on a few things:
- Country. It determines both how many surveys you get and what they’re worth. In Germany, a survey pays 2 euros on average, while in other countries the pay is a lot lower.
- Profile. It matters whether you have kids, whether you’re in a relationship, what you do for work, and how you shop.
- Language. It depends on the region you signed up in.
- Number of surveys. This changes constantly, since the list is updated every hour. I got 3 surveys right after signing up, and I wasn’t expecting to find anything that quickly.
Your first 3 surveys come with a +50% bonus (the Welcome Bonus). I did the math using the German average. With the bonus, a 2-euro survey pays 3 euros, and all three together would come to 9 euros, as long as none of them kicks you out. The bonus and the option to sort by highest pay make it feel like the money adds up quickly. But it’s still small change. It’ll cover little extras, but nothing important.
Surveys usually take anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes. You can sort the list by “Recommended”, “Duration (ascending)”, or “Remuneration (descending)”, and use the filters to pick a length: “< 10 min”, “10-20 min”, or “> 20 min”. After losing those 8 minutes, I think length tells you more than pay does. If you’re disqualified from a short survey, you lose a little time, but from one over 20 minutes, you lose a lot more.
Complete missions to unlock bonuses
Right after signing up, I found an empty progress bar in my account showing 0 of 11 missions completed and 0%, along with a promise that I’d unlock bonuses and earn more if I finished them. I was hoping it would be a shortcut to a higher balance. Surveys keep you stuck on profile questions for a long time, and those questions never seem to end. The idea of pressing a few buttons instead of answering them sounded a lot easier to me.
Most missions don’t ask you to answer surveys. They ask you to do something on the site or on your phone, poke around in your settings, check which notifications you get, and leave a review wherever they tell you to. The whole thing is set up like a game that keeps you as active as possible in your account.
I started with 6 unlocked missions, listed below from highest to lowest pay:
- Leaving a review of KingOpinion.com, €0.100
- Clicking a link in a daily email, €0.100
- Completing a survey when you come back tomorrow, €0.100
- Completing two surveys, €0.050 (less than for a single click)
- Adding KingOpinion.com to your phone, €0.050
- Subscribing to push notifications, €0.050
All 6 together come to €0.450. The site wants you to fill your phone screen with shortcuts and accept push notifications for €0.050 each. Is it worth changing your phone settings for 5 cents? Not for me. Working through the whole list is a waste of time, because €0.450 doesn’t cover even a fraction of it.
The review is the part I don’t like at all. At €0.100, it’s one of the best-paying starting missions, but the button says outright “Leave a 5* review”, so it’s asking for 5 stars. I get that every site wants reviews. But a review bought for 10 cents, with the star rating spelled out on the button, tells you nothing about how the site pays, especially since you leave it before you’ve even tried a real withdrawal. It’s a clear way for KingOpinion to inflate its public rating on sites like Trustpilot.
The 5 locked missions are a mystery. You don’t know what they require or how much they pay, because the amount is replaced by “???” and a message tells you to finish other missions to unlock them. I’m afraid they’re not hiding anything big. If the unlocked missions pay out in cents, I don’t see why the locked ones would pay much better.
Clicking the link in the daily email now and then is fine, because it’s just one click and it brings in a bit of pocket change. The rest isn’t worth it, whether that’s changing your phone settings or writing a review just for the money. The minimum withdrawal is €20.00, which is high, and to reach it with amounts like these alone, you’d need more than 44 times what all 6 missions pay combined.
That progress bar from the beginning can rest easy near 0%.
Refer a friend
When I saw that KingOpinion pays you 10% for life on everything the people you bring in earn, I was hoping for money that would come in almost on its own. And I think a lifetime percentage is tempting to all of us, especially if we have enough followers on social media or friends who’d like some spending money. It seems like all you’d have to do is share the link everywhere.
Your unique link, which looks like https://kingopinion.com, is in the Referral program menu in your account, with a Copy button right beside it that does the copying for you. Underneath are icons for quickly sharing it to Facebook, Twitter (X), WhatsApp or Telegram, but you don’t get any banners or ad images. Anyone who clicks the link, creates an account and finishes tasks earns you 10% of what they make from the surveys they complete. And only the people you invite directly count, because it’s a one-level system and you get nothing from anyone they go on to bring in.
But referral money doesn’t go into your regular balance alongside your survey earnings. It’s kept in a separate balance called the Referral Pot, and you can only withdraw it once it reaches 15 euros, as the image above shows. How much do the people I invite have to earn before I hit 15 euros? A combined 150 euros from completed surveys. Real people get disqualified from studies so often that 150 euros is really hard to reach.
I worry about any friends who’d use my link. They’d spend hours on end on screening questionnaires and keep getting kicked out, run into the site’s glitches, and end up with a few cents, 10% of which would go to me. It’s a waste of their time. And from the outside, it would look like I was swamping them with badly paid work just so I could skim a share off the time they’re wasting.
That separate threshold has another consequence, too. Unless you can bring in hundreds of really active people, the money in the Referral Pot will most likely stay stuck there for good. It isn’t worth burning through your friends’ trust or starting a whole YouTube channel to promote KingOpinion. If you want an audience of your own or real money from referrals, look at affiliate programs for reputable products. Low-paying survey and microtask sites aren’t the place for that.
For me, 15 euros stuck in a separate balance isn’t reason enough to pile tasks on my friends.
How do you get paid?
Most of us check the withdrawal threshold before taking our first survey, because it decides how quickly we see our money. KingOpinion promises a very low threshold on its public site. It says you can withdraw starting at $5.50, that the money reaches your account in 3 days, and it shows logos for PayPal, Virtual Visa, Roblox, and PlayStation. At $5.50, that first withdrawal felt close.
When I opened the withdrawal page in my account, the threshold was different. Almost every option, from PayPal to the H&M gift card, says “From 20€”. That means 4 times as many surveys before your first cashout. I wish I’d seen that number up front, before signing up.
One thing is simple, though. KingOpinion doesn’t use points, so your balance shows straight in euros or dollars, depending on your region. And you can see right away how much more you need to hit €20, with no points to convert.
You can cash out by bank transfer (SEPA / SWIFT), PayPal, PayPal International, Virtual Visa, or gift cards from all kinds of stores. The minimum is €20 for almost all of them: PayPal, Virtual Visa, SEPA transfers, and most of the gift cards. Global Hotel Card requires €50. It’s the only exception I found, and at two and a half times the amount, I don’t think I’d pick it.
These are all the options in my account. The site says it adapts to your country to show you the best payment methods where you live, so you may see different methods, and possibly different thresholds. I had no way to check that.
The gift cards all start at €20. I counted 24 brands in my account and sorted them into categories:
- clothing: H&M, Primark, Zalando, La Redoute, GEMO
- sports and footwear: adidas, Nike, Foot Locker, Decathlon
- beauty: Sephora, Rituals, Yves Rocher (I’d look at these first)
- games and apps: Google Play, Apple, Twitch, Roblox, PlayStation
- travel and going out: Inspire Travel, Global Experiences, TheFork
- other: Amazon, FNAC Darty, AMPM, MATY
For all that variety, none of them lets you cash out under €20.
Can you still end up without a payout after reaching €20? Yes. Every withdrawal request is reviewed manually. If you’ve rushed through surveys or given contradictory answers to hit the threshold faster, their security system flags your account and can cancel your withdrawal or restrict your account without telling you (a shadow-ban). The review itself doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is that nothing is decided until the end, after you’ve put in all the work.
Anyone who follows the rules gets paid for real. But there are plenty of places to get stuck along the way. If you’re at €18 and keep getting disqualified from one survey after another, those last €2 can take weeks, and in the meantime your €18 sits locked in your account where you can’t touch it. That’s a long time to wait for €2.
If surveys aren’t enough for you, there are also GPT sites, which offer more ways to earn than opinion surveys do. I think Mirex Network, adBTC, Testable Minds, or GBTN could bring in some extra money. None of them will make you a lot of money, but I’ve reviewed each one so you can see what it offers before you put time into it.
And if you need money you can count on for gas or food by the weekend, you won’t find it here in time. The €20 threshold and the 72 hours your request sits in manual review keep the money out of reach right when you need it.
I go by the threshold in my account, not the one on the homepage.
How much money can you make?
When you make money from surveys, you go in with the simple idea that more surveys mean more money. KingOpinion works differently. The people making good money here don’t fill out a single survey. They earn from referrals: the affiliate link pays a 10% commission for life, and it comes in automatically from every person they bring in. An influencer or content creator who gets thousands of people to sign up and stay active earns far more this way than they’d ever make from surveys. The best surveys, the specialized ones, pay between €6 and €10, and they rarely come up.
But that only works with a big audience behind you. Most of us stay with surveys, and for us the site ends up being a hobby that doesn’t pay much and stalls at the withdrawal threshold.
I was hoping for more, because the home page makes some nice promises. The charts show up to $170 a month for 30 minutes a day, and in their example, someone in Germany who does 5 surveys a day makes about €200 extra a month. The site splits monthly earnings into three tiers, based on how much time you put in each day. Beginner is $34 to $56 for about 10 minutes a day, Popular is $56 to $110 for about 20 minutes, and Expert is $110 to $170 for about 30 minutes. The time triples from Beginner to Expert, and the money roughly triples too. It all seems to depend on effort.
But I couldn’t get through 5 surveys in a row. I’d go in, spend about 10 minutes filling in my profile details, and get disqualified at the end, earning €0, because I wasn’t exactly the consumer the company was after. Losing those 10 minutes is a shame, because it doesn’t happen just once. It happens with every disqualification, and the time keeps adding up. And it happened so often that an hour of clicking could produce just one validated payment.
That’s what it’s like in the countries that pay well. In Germany the average is €2.00 per survey, and well-paying regions like Western Europe and North America get better-paying offers more consistently. If you’re in a low-paying country, it looks much worse. Because the offers there drop sharply, and you end up with 15-minute surveys that pay a few cents and cost you more than they bring in.
How long until I can make my first withdrawal? If I go by Germany’s €2.00 average, the €20.00 threshold takes 10 validated surveys. At one validated payment per hour of clicking, that’s about 10 hours, and that’s in a country that pays well. Regular surveys often pay small amounts, there aren’t many offers, your account goes through strict verification, and you’ll be checking the app for weeks, sometimes months, before you see your first euro.
If you’re patient with the screening questions and you’re in a country that pays well, you’ll eventually make enough for a video game or a pizza. If you’re in a low-paying country, the frequent disqualifications will wear you down long before you reach €20.00. In the end, KingOpinion is a pocket-money app, something to open when you really have nothing else to do.
I don’t plan my own budget around the €200 in the Germany example, and I don’t think it’s worth planning yours around it either.
How do you ask for help?
On a site that pays out real money, I expected to be able to talk to someone when something goes missing from my account. I didn’t find anything like that on KingOpinion. The only way to get help is a message form: no phone, no live chat, and no support email address listed separately on the main pages.
I reached the form through the help center. I scrolled to the bottom of an FAQ page (the button is on every help page), clicked “I didn’t find an answer to my question,” and a window called “Contact us” opened, asking for your email address and your message. There’s also a contact link in the footer of the public site, and once you’re logged in, there’s a support portal in the members’ area.
In the help center, the questions are laid out on cards you click to open, grouped into three categories. “Questions about Surveys” covers finishing a survey and not getting paid, getting an invitation and then not seeing any survey, and having your earnings canceled after a survey. “Questions about My Earnings” deals with payments that never arrived, how to withdraw money, and installed apps that didn’t earn you anything. And “General Questions” is for changing your email, date of birth, or country, for language settings, and for closing your account (the card is titled “How do I unsubscribe?”, which sounds to me more like canceling a newsletter than closing an account).
With headings that specific, I assumed I’d also find step-by-step instructions. But the cards only explain how to get around the site. If your problem is technical and more involved, you won’t find a solution there.
The portal does its job when you need to reset your password or change your email. When it comes to money, though, it’s a different story.
KingOpinion doesn’t have its own surveys. It sources them from other companies and doesn’t take responsibility for tracking errors. Say you spend 20 minutes on a Lucid or Toluna survey and it kicks you out without any credit. The support team has no way to add the points manually. They’ll tell you the company running the survey rejected your data, and that’s it, because there’s nobody above them you can complain to. The 20 minutes bother me more than the points do, because no one’s giving me that time back.
It’s worse when they flag your account or cancel a withdrawal. There’s no one you can contact right away to explain what happened. Support is at its worst right when you hit the €20.00 withdrawal threshold. If you’ve moved to another country or typed too fast, an automated fraud filter can flag your profile, and from then on you’re waiting on pins and needles for a reply, with no idea when it’ll come. And who are you going to tell that all you did was move? The form, again.
If a €10 payment goes missing or a survey link doesn’t track, and you’re counting on support to sort it out, you most likely won’t get an answer. Don’t rely on KingOpinion for money you really need, because if an error freezes your balance, you’ll have no help at all.
I don’t need someone on the phone for a forgotten password, but with a frozen balance I’d want someone to talk to.
KingOpinion on Trustpilot
When people write good things about KingOpinion, they mention the sign-up, which is simple, and the surveys, since those come from big companies like Toluna, CINT, and PureSpectrum. The app is also on Google Play, under the name “KingOpinionPaid Survey Rewards,” so you can answer surveys on your phone too. That’s about it. Every good thing about it comes at the start, before you have any money to withdraw.
On Trustpilot, the story starts out well too. The reviews you can see there say the site worked well at first and that around late 2025 the service or the payments got much worse. Trustpilot is hiding the official rating because it confirmed it had deleted the fake reviews I wrote about earlier. It’s hard for me to keep trusting a site after someone made an organized attempt to inflate its reputation. And it changes how you read the good reviews that are left.
I found a lot of complaints on Sikayetvar, a consumer complaint site, and on Reddit, and most of what people say there is negative. The same problems keep coming up:
- Money that can’t be withdrawn from the account anymore. Several people report this, and in one verified complaint, $873 is locked in the account. Earning that much from surveys means answering a lot of them, and it’s a shame for that money to stay locked up.
- A minimum withdrawal threshold that many people consider too high.
- Activity that isn’t tracked correctly, with surveys and points getting lost.
- Disqualifications after people have spent a long time answering questions. It happens on a lot of survey sites, but it’s still a shame to lose that time.
- Attempts to take money from users’ bank accounts without consent, even during sign-up, according to several credible allegations.
When I saw that the site pays out through SEPA, SWIFT, Amazon, and PayPal, I thought withdrawals were at least one thing it got right. The complaints say otherwise. In fact, the most serious problems are with payments and activity tracking, and it hardly matters how many payment options there are if the money doesn’t reach you. These are other people’s stories, and I can’t verify them all. But when it comes to money, the same stories come up too often for me to overlook.
For me, the bank account allegations carry more weight than any disqualification, because those aren’t about points anymore, they’re about my money.
Red flags you should never ignore
From a survey site, I expected money to flow one way only: toward me. But on Sikayetvar, several people who don’t know each other report that the platform tried to take money from their bank accounts without their consent when they signed up. They’re only allegations, but they match too closely for me to brush aside.
There are four more red flags, and not all of them are equally solid:
- Other users on Sikayetvar weren’t able to withdraw large balances, which suggests the platform might lock your account or impose unwritten conditions right before payout, once you’ve built up the balance bit by bit. That’s what worries me.
- The site’s footer says rewards aren’t contractual and vary by country and by survey availability. It looks like a throwaway line, but it lets the company refuse a payment or change reward values whenever it wants.
- Trustpilot publicly notes that it removed fake reviews of KingOpinion, a confirmed breach of customer trust.
- Gridinsoft, an automated scanner, flags the site as “suspicious,” but when I checked, no malware or phishing code turned up.
As long as people say they can’t cash out their balances, I don’t count the points earned here as money yet.
Who can use KingOpinion?
When I signed up for KingOpinion, I didn’t get to choose how. The form on the site is the only option, and you can’t sign up with Google or Facebook. There are 3 steps. First, you pick how much you’d like to earn each month, from tiers starting at $34 and going up to $170 or more.
Then I typed in my email address, created a password of at least 8 characters, picked my country from the “Select your country” list, checked the box to accept the terms and the privacy policy, and landed in my verified account, where 3 unlocked surveys were waiting for me. The whole thing took less than a minute and didn’t cost me anything. Nobody asked for my card details, and that matters to me. I’d think twice about any site that asks you for money in order to pay you for surveys.
The goal you pick at the start isn’t a guaranteed amount. The site only uses it to set up your account page around your target. Picking $170 a month doesn’t get you any closer to $170.
The 3 surveys you get right away look like a good start. But signing up is this easy precisely because the real screening happens once you have an account, and those first 3 surveys tell you nothing about what you’ll earn after that.
The country you select on the form matters a lot. The site says it tailors its pages to your region and accepts sign-ups from lots of places, but what you get varies from country to country. Sign up from a high-paying country like Germany, and good offers come your way. If you live in a lower-paying country, you might fill out your entire profile only to find there are hardly any well-paid surveys. That’s a shame, because you put that time into the profile before you know whether it’s worth it. Which countries can’t sign up at all? I don’t know, because KingOpinion doesn’t publish a list of excluded countries on its site. If you’re over 18 and live in a country market research companies care about, it takes 30 seconds to find out whether it’s worth sticking around.
And if you find that the surveys pay too little for the hours they take, there’s a way out. In the security settings, there’s a “Delete my account” button that’s easy to find. My worry is that it’s also too easy to click, since deleting can’t be undone. Your profile is wiped completely, and any money still in your balance disappears with it on the spot. Even if it’s only a little, that money is time you put in bit by bit.
Who can sign up is a simpler question. The site is open to everyone, whether you’re a student, working, or retired. There’s just one condition: you have to be over 18, both to register and to use your account. You can’t have an account if you’re under 18, because there are no accounts for minors, and parental consent doesn’t change that. The age limit is a legal requirement. At least there was no guesswork here.
How to fill out your profile on KingOpinion?
Before you see any surveys on KingOpinion, you give the site your name, date of birth, and exact address. I thought I’d be able to look around the dashboard first and leave the profile for later. But as soon as I logged in for the first time, a setup window popped up over the whole site and blocked everything else until I filled in my details.
Why so much information? Because the site uses it to match you with market research surveys looking for specific kinds of people. And the site makes it clear that the more complete your profile is, the more paid surveys you’ll have access to. They say it plainly, and I liked that, because you know from the start what your details will be used for.
The window walks you through it step by step, in this order:
- Identity, the first screen, where you enter your first name and last name, each in its own field.
- Personal Information, where you pick your exact date of birth from the day, month, and year dropdowns and select your gender.
- Country, where you just confirm the country you live in. The field is locked to the location you chose when you signed up, and mine was already filled in.
- Address, where you enter your street, postal code, and city. This is where you give your exact physical address, the place you sleep at night, and that’s a different matter from a name or a date of birth.
The whole thing takes less than 2 minutes and it’s simple, with small, clear steps. The site collects this basic information to unlock your first offers on the dashboard. It also shows a counter of around 150 members making money right now, which is there to make you feel like you’re joining an active community. I saw that number in my account when I filled in my profile, and yours might be different. I have no way of checking how many people are actually earning.
After I clicked the last button, I got a screen with a green check mark and a message saying that my profile was complete, that I had access to all the paid surveys available for my profile, and that new surveys are added every hour. I got hung up on the word “all.” Each research company screens people for its own surveys and can drop you from one even if your profile is complete.
But the 2 minutes don’t bother me. What bothers me is that you give a site your exact address just to get to the dashboard, and that’s a real safety trade-off. If you don’t mind giving it out, you can finish the setup and get in.
I filled everything in, and ever since, my details have been sitting in the Profile tab in the main menu, where I can look at them anytime.
Can you use it on your phone?
When I came across the KingOpinion app on Google Play, rated 4.3 stars from 1.88K reviews and with over 10,000 downloads, I was tempted to install it on the spot. It looked like a simple download, nothing that needed checking. But I already knew about the dashboard mission I described above, the one that pays a fixed bonus of €0.100 for a 5-star review.
That’s 10 cents. For that, plenty of people left 5 stars before they’d even tried to withdraw, and a good chunk of those 1.88K reviews come from them. I’m not saying the app is bad. But a rating bought for 10 cents doesn’t tell me whether the app is flawless or not, so I set the 4.3 stars aside.
The app is official and Android-only. You download it directly from Google Play, where it’s listed under the Applicationspot developer account. There’s no iPhone app, and nothing will turn up in the App Store. Android users can pick either the app or the browser. iPhone users are limited to the website in Safari.
The browser is a really good option, too. The site is fully mobile-friendly. Using my phone’s regular browser, I signed up, logged into the dashboard, clicked around and filled out surveys. Everything fit nicely on the screen, and the text was big enough to read easily. I liked that. It’s a small thing, but it matters when you’re answering questions on the go.
I’m not one to assume the worst, but I’m really strict when it comes to downloads. If the app doesn’t show up when you search Google Play in your country, don’t go looking for links or .apk files on shady forums. A copy of the app from anywhere other than the official store can come with malware or expose private data from your email. No bonus on the site is worth that risk.
If you have Android, stick with Google Play or the browser, and you’ll have everything you need to answer a few questions in your spare time. The mobile version is well made, but the app won’t help you earn more. You get disqualified just as often, and you still need to hit the €20.00 threshold to cash out, whether you’re tapping on your phone or clicking on a laptop. Those 4.3 stars don’t bring the threshold any closer.
Is KingOpinion Legit and worth trying?
When we earn money from surveys, we all look at how much we make and how quickly we can cash out. On KingOpinion the earnings are low, and in my case the withdrawal threshold was €20, which is a lot for a survey site. Put those two together and I come out behind over time. I’m speaking from what happened to me.
I can’t say it doesn’t pay. It does pay, so it’s not a scam. You get paid for surveys, there are a few small bonuses on top, and there’s a referral program. But it calls itself the king of paid surveys, and to me that’s too big a claim for a site that makes you wait this long for your first withdrawal.
Surveoo is behind it. KingOpinion is just a different name for the same platform, which collects surveys from real market research companies. It’s not at all clear how the company is set up, and you don’t know who you’re actually dealing with.
I liked it at the start, when I was getting surveys aimed at people all over the world. But there’s no real user community to help you out, and there’s a high risk of doing surveys and getting nothing for them. And the time you spend on surveys that don’t pay is still money. It just doesn’t show up in your balance.
There’s only one thing I’m more afraid of than wasted time: money disappearing from my account. That’s exactly what many KingOpinion users complain about: money taken out of their bank accounts without their consent, and payments that never arrive. Trustpilot has also confirmed that it removed fake reviews from KingOpinion’s page.
The terms say the rewards are “non-contractual.” That means if they don’t pay out what you’ve earned, there isn’t really anyone you can complain to.
If you want extra income you can rely on, or you’re protective of your bank details, KingOpinion isn’t the place for you.
I’d have a much easier time on sites where the pay is better and I can reach a meaningful amount quickly. So instead, I recommend the list of the top 7 survey and GPT sites and apps that work anywhere in the world. They all have good earning potential, and you can build up a nice amount in a short time. Most of them, maybe even all of them, have a fairly low withdrawal threshold, so you won’t be waiting long for your money.
If you have questions or something to add, or if you’ve tried KingOpinion yourself (especially if you got as far as a withdrawal), let me know in the comments. I’m always happy to hear your stories!
