Frequently asked questions

How do I get invited to studies?

Once your profile is set up, Poll Uncle matches it against live studies and surfaces the ones you’re most likely to qualify for. A more complete profile leads to better matches.

Why didn’t I qualify for a study?

Most studies look for a specific group of people. If your profile doesn’t fit a study’s criteria, you won’t qualify — it isn’t a reflection on you. Smart Match is built to reduce how often this happens.

How are rewards determined?

Each study sets its own reward based on its length and what it asks of you. When a reward is available, it’s shown before you start.

How long does it take to receive rewards?

Rewards are issued after you complete a study and its responses are validated. Timing can vary from study to study.

What information do I need to provide?

A basic profile to start — like your country, age range, and a few interests. Anything beyond that is optional and only helps improve your matches.

Can I control my privacy settings?

Yes. You choose what information Smart Match can use, and you can update or withdraw it at any time.

Are studies available in my country?

Poll Uncle works with research across major markets in North America and Europe. Availability depends on your country and changes as new studies open.

Research doesn’t happen alone

Every study starts with a question. Researchers create studies, participants share their perspective, and together they help improve the products, services, and experiences people use every day.
