Opinyze

Yes — Opinyze is a real, operating platform. We verified its signup, payout, and policy pages directly on 2026-11-09 using 40 sources.

Verifiable operator (Opinyze Limited RC 9736395 named in Terms, Privacy AND llms.txt; founders Babatunde Alli Balogun and Nifemi Busayo Sobowale on LinkedIn; Abuja + Lagos + London addresses; NDPC-registered shareholder Tornado Tech; builder FlintNode) but effectively zero independent track record: no Trustpilot page (404 confirmed twice), no retrievable ScamAdviser report, no Reddit/Nairaland mentions, no payout proofs, Play 1K+ downloads with no rating yet. Earning rails are ten-African-currency local-bank only while identity verification is documented for Nigerian NIN/vNIN alone; terms allow 'forfeiture of all credits and earnings' on fraud suspicion and the referral program is revocable 'at any time and without giving a reason'; researcher exports include respondent name + username beside answers. Start small; no confirmed payout proofs as of 2026-11-09.

Creators set per-survey rewards ('Survey creators set their own reward amounts when building a survey'); official anchors: business pricing 'From 1,250 / response = about $1.25', live 1-on-1 interviews from '10,000 / respondent-hour', focus groups from '8,000 / respondent-hour', expert floors 'From 10,000 / hour (about $10)' to 'From 62,500 / hour (about $63)' and 'From 1,250 / response (about $2)' - all at the company's '1,000 credits = about $1 at today's deposit rates' anchor. Build-config constants add respondent live-session incentive floors of 50 credits/minute plus 1,500-credit bases (Nigerian 1:1) / 1,200 (NG focus group) / 20,000 (foreign 1:1) with 20-30% platform session fees; poll points convert to credits only during occasional conversion pools (example '2 points = 1 credit'); referrals pay 120 credits + 275 points across milestones plus count bonuses (25-500 credits) and 5% of referred users' survey-funding spend. Work is billed per task, so earnings scale with volume and acceptance rates.

Via Bank transfer, Points. Payout cadence: Threshold-based / Not stated. Minimum payout: NGN rail: 2,000 credits (= N2,000 at the platform's 1 credit = N1 rate) with a 5% withdrawal fee plus N50 flat - per the platform's own public currency config API (app.opinyze.com/api/config/currencies, checked 2026-11-09); the other African rails (GHS, KES, EGP, RWF, TZS, UGX, XAF, XOF, ZAR) are 3,000 credits minimum with 8% fee plus 75 flat local units; USD/EUR/GBP quotes show a 5,000-credit figure but are deposit-only (USD credits valued at 1,800 per $1 on the way out vs 1,000 per $1 in, 10% fee). Rails: local bank transfer across the ten African currencies after a 0-72 hour pending-release anti-fraud window (24h web-funded, 72h app-store-funded rewards); the payment processor is never named client-side.

Minimum age 18 - 'You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account', verified in practice from the date of birth on the NIN/vNIN identity record presented at sign-up (Terms and docs, checked 2026-11-09). No published country list. Documented onboarding is Nigeria-gated (NIN/vNIN identity, Nigerian state/LGA demographics), but the platform's public currency config shows withdrawal-enabled local bank rails for ten African currencies - NGN, GHS (Ghana), KES (Kenya), EGP (Egypt), RWF (Rwanda), TZS (Tanzania), UGX (Uganda), XAF, XOF (CFA zones) and ZAR (South Africa) - so non-Nigerian payouts are configured in-product even though non-Nigerian identity verification is undocumented (USD/EUR/GBP are deposit-only display currencies). Terms restrict sanctioned-country residents and persons on Nigeria/UN sanctions or terror-financing lists and require that use 'must be lawful in your country'. The advertised London office has no registered UK entity behind it (Companies House 'No results found', checked 2026-11-09). Mandatory NIN/vNIN verification for all earning: 'Choose NIN or vNIN and enter your number'; name and date of birth are matched against the NIN record; the NIN is stored encrypted as a hash plus trailing fragment ('We do not access or store your biometrics, address history, or any other data'); without verification you can browse and create surveys but 'cannot take surveys, vote in polls, earn credits, or withdraw credits'. Bank details are saved in wallet settings (multiple accounts selectable per withdrawal); submitting another person's NIN is flagged as potentially criminal under Nigerian law. Non-Nigerian identity verification is not documented despite the ten configured African rails.

Use the owner's invite link or plain signup: app.opinyze.com/register (the referral URL returned HTTP 200 with the code pre-filled) - create the account with email + 8-character password or Google sign-in - optionally enter a referral code - complete a short onboarding with NIN/vNIN identity verification and a rich demographic profile (age, marital status, education, employment, income, religion, language, ethnic background; Nigerian state/LGA) - then surveys, polls and live-session bookings unlock (session booking runs on 12-hour cancel cutoffs with a 2-strikes/30-days no-show policy); withdrawals require saved bank details. One account per person; email dot/plus aliases are banned.
