This page explains what TGM Panel is, how members earn and get paid, and where TGM Panel differs from PocketsFull, a rewards site that also pays members for surveys and offers.
What TGM Panel is
TGM Panel is an online survey panel. The site says it is powered by TGM Research, a market research company, and its knowledge base names TGM Research FZE as the owner. The panel terms refer to "TGM" as a group of entities, including ones in Poland and Singapore.
TGM Panel runs separate national panel sites rather than one single site. The homepage lists country panels across Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and North Africa, and the Americas, including Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Ghana, and TGM Research says it works in more than 130 countries.

How members earn on TGM Panel
Members earn mainly by completing online surveys. The reward for a survey depends on its length and type and is credited once the survey is finished.
- Completing a survey adds a reward to the cash balance.
- Not qualifying for a survey (a screen-out, a full quota or a closed project) can still add a small credit.
- Completing the profile survey earns points.
- An affiliate or referral program pays a percentage of the rewards earned by people who sign up through a member's link.
TGM Panel keeps two separate balances that cannot be combined: a cash balance for completed surveys, and a points balance for the profile survey, screen-outs and referral commissions. The knowledge base explains how points convert to the panel's payout currency, and the conversion rate differs by country.
How it pays and who can join
Payout methods on TGM Panel depend on the country site. Options that appear across different country panels include PayPal, GCodes vouchers, a CY.SEND gift card, an Amazon gift certificate on the UK payments page, and mobile top-ups. The minimum payout also varies by country and method: the UK and international site lists different minimums for PayPal versus GCodes or Amazon, the US site lists a minimum for PayPal or a CY.SEND gift card, the India site lists its own minimums, and the Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria sites each list their own figures too.
The Nigeria site mentions only the CY.SEND gift card as a payout option, not PayPal.
Joining TGM Panel is free, and the terms say no purchase is needed to earn points. Signing up asks for an email address, date of birth and gender, followed by email confirmation and a profile survey. One account per person is allowed, and the terms say multiple accounts can lead to termination. A phone number must be verified before a first payout, and a PayPal payout requires the PayPal account to use the same email address as the panel account. Minimum age and location requirements apply and can differ by panel, but TGM Panel does not publish one single minimum age. Whether TGM Panel has an official app for Android or iPhone is not published on the pages checked.

How PocketsFull differs
PocketsFull is a single rewards site rather than a set of separate country panels. Members take paid surveys, complete offers such as game and app offers, and redeem the rewards they collect. Joining is free and no deposit is ever asked for.
Survey providers on PocketsFull look for specific profiles, so being screened out before the end of a survey happens to everyone from time to time. Keeping a profile complete, accurate and current helps a member get matched with more surveys. Some offers take between 7 and 30 days to confirm, and a reward can take time to appear while the partner checks and confirms it.
PocketsFull also has a separate section of free browser games that need no download and no sign-up, though these are for fun and do not pay rewards. PocketsFull has an Android app on Google Play, and the website also works in a phone browser. There is a referral program with a personal referral link on the referral page.
How PocketsFull pays
PocketsFull redeems rewards for gift cards, and the catalogue of gift card brands depends on the member's country, so members see local brands on the redeem screen.
PayPal and Litecoin are also listed on the redeem screen. A redeemed gift card is sent to the member's registered email address.
Mobile top-ups are not a payout option on PocketsFull.
