It is run by Dynata, a market research company, and members take surveys and other research activities to earn credit that can be exchanged for gift cards.
This review looks at what Irish Opinions actually publishes about itself, since that is the fairest way to answer whether it is legit and whether it is safe to join.
What Irish Opinions is
Irish Opinions is described on its own site as the Irish market research panel of Dynata. Members take part in online and mobile surveys, diary studies, product tests, reviews of advertising campaigns, and focus groups or other market research activities, and they collect credit for each completed activity.
The service is only open to people aged 16 or older who live in Ireland. Anyone younger than 18 can only take part with a parent's consent, through a parent's account.

Facts checked on
How members earn on Irish Opinions
- Online and mobile surveys.
- Diary studies.
- Product tests.
- Reviewing advertising campaigns.
- Focus groups and other market research activities.
Each of these activities adds credit to the member's account rather than paying cash directly, and that credit is later exchanged for rewards.
How it pays and who can join
Irish Opinions pays out in gift cards and vouchers from retailers, and the site names Tesco, Boots and TK Maxx as examples. The full list of reward brands is not published on the public site, since the rewards page only loads inside the member area.
The terms set a general redemption threshold equal to 50 US dollars in points or panel currency, though they also say a lower redemption option may sometimes be available. The thresholds that are actually offered in Ireland are not published outside the member area, so this review cannot state a fixed minimum payout.
Whether PayPal or any other cash payout is offered is not stated on the public pages, and the terms say panel currency itself has no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for cash. Members may also be asked to verify their identity through a third-party provider when redeeming a reward. Redemptions are limited to two in any 24-hour period, and points or panel currency expire one year after they are added to the account.
Irish Opinions is open only to residents of Ireland aged 16 or older, so it is not an option for people living elsewhere.

How PocketsFull differs
PocketsFull is a rewards site where members take paid surveys, complete offers such as app and game offers, and redeem the rewards they collect. Joining and using PocketsFull is free, and no deposit or payment is ever asked for.
Unlike Irish Opinions, PocketsFull is not limited to a single country: what a member can access depends on the surveys and offers available where they live. PocketsFull also has an Android app on Google Play, and the website works in a phone browser as well.
PocketsFull also runs a referral programme, where every member gets a personal referral link, and it has a separate section of free browser games that are for fun and do not pay rewards.
How PocketsFull pays
PocketsFull's redeem screen shows gift cards for the member's own country first, then PayPal and Litecoin. The options shown depend on where the member lives.
