Research Opinions (Manchester)

Does anyone have any information as to whether or not Manchester-based "Research Opinions" is still operating?  Their website and social media pages appear to be active but account login is now impossible - all that appears is an expired security certificate warning followed by a "404 - file or directory not found" error.  Online reponse form queries, emails and telephone calls go unanswered.  I have also heard that recent participants have not been paid for focus group work done.

  • They disappeared for me years ago! I had £14 with them so under any cash outs. A long time ago they were good and I did a few focus groups. Dead in the water now I fear!

    Hi, this website - https://www.researchopinions.co.uk/

    has allowed me to join up today. But then when I logged out and tried to log back in, my laptop told me I'd be better off not bothering as it wasn't a safe site. 

    I didn't get the 404 error message, though.

    But I think I will just stick with Prolific for now.

  • If you're looking for regular market research opportunities, there's a company called Give Opinions that a great. They have lots of groups on all over the UK and pay up to £200 depending on the research.
