A CON COMPANY
I had a very disappointing experience with Ronin. I participated in a marketing and advertising survey back in August, and it took four months just to receive payment.
Later, I was invited to complete two follow-up surveys worth $55 and $40. I completed both in January, but I have never been paid for them. I also did not receive any responses to my follow-up emails.
At this point, I feel forced to report this to the Better Business Bureau and online fraud authorities. I would strongly caution anyone considering participating in their surveys—this has been frustrating and unreliable.
If anyone has had a similar experience or found a way to get paid, please reach out. Laura Thomas

Hi Laura,
RONIN Studies is a legitimate market research company, with quality, compliance, and data protection at the core of its operations. We are certified to ISO 20252 for market research standards and ISO 27001 for information security, and we operate in line with recognised industry bodies such as MRS and ESOMAR.
We have already been in contact with you regarding your queries and shared the outcome of our review. While a reward was issued for a separate study you completed, the submissions referenced in your review did not meet the required quality control standards and were therefore not approved for payment.
As outlined in our terms and conditions, incentives are only issued where participation meets the necessary data quality criteria.
Kind regards,
RONIN Studies Team
No payment
Whether or not you get paid is hit or miss. Even if you do, you still have to chase payment endlessly. I am still awaiting a payment I have been chasing for months.

Project 85386 - No Payment
I completed a survey for project 85386, but I have not received any payment after one month. This company cannot meet its own deadline and has not answered my email. I am able to prove my previous employment that was needed to answer the survey questions.
4/13 update: Gift card was processed, but later than stated.

Ronin are poor and late payers.
Ronin are poor payers.
I do surveys for about 3 companies that generally pay on completion. Sometimes someone calls you because of a spelling error and holds payment to do corrections, but they eventually pay you 2-3 days later. Ronin Don’t. You will do your survey, 4 weeks later still not paid. You’ll contact them but unless you can give them the survey number (as if you’d write it down?) they can’t help you. If you find something the response will be that you’ll be paid when the survey closes and they verify all results and 3 monthes later you’ll still chase them. Don’t waste your time on these guys. Do newton or GLG instead. It took me 4 months!

Hi Corey,
When a respondent raises a ticket, we require the study reference to securely locate your record and ensure we are reviewing the correct project to provide the best possible support.
We note your comments regarding payment timelines. RONIN ensures that all participants are informed during recruitment that rewards are issued after project completion and following necessary validation checks.
Most projects run between 4 and 8 weeks to allow sufficient time for all participants to complete the study, and rewards are processed once data quality checks and verification steps are completed. These measures are in place to ensure accuracy, fairness, and compliance with industry standards.
If you would like us to review a specific case, please contact us via our official form and include your study reference details so we can assist you directly: https://roninstudies.com/get-in-touch

Ronin Research: Not a Scam, No Yachts Stolen, Would Recommend
OK – so, market research online. First question: is it a scam? Are they really going to pay what they say, or am I about to find my face cloned and used to rob digital banks or buy yachts in the Bahamas? Or is it all actually above board…
In my case, it was genuinely fine. I did a really pleasant, interesting online interview with a very nice bloke called S****, who seemed genuinely happy with my answers and didn’t once ask for my first pet’s inside leg measurement or my great grand-mother’s maiden name.
Payment-wise, no drama, no nonsense – just what was promised, when it was promised. And as a bonus, I’m quietly hoping that when this mysterious “thing” they’re working on finally launches, I’ll be on the mailing list for an early-bird offer I can snaffle for the charity I work for.

Hi Marc,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We are pleased to hear that your experience was pleasant and that the interview itself was enjoyable.
We also appreciated the humour in your feedback. The “mysterious thing” you mentioned made us smile, although it is most likely a reference to the wider research project you took part in rather than anything more secretive.
We are grateful for your contribution and hope to work with you again on future studies.
Kind regards,

Scam
I was contacted by them several times about participating in surveys and was promised $50. After completing one over a year ago, I still have not been paid and have received no follow-up communication. I've attempted to reach out multiple times with no response. I would stay away from this company.

Seemingly This Company Does Not Pay Incentives!!
On Friday, January 30, 2026, I received notification that a reward of $40 was waiting on me. I selected PayPal as my reward choice, and it has been almost 2 weeks, and I still have not received it.
I did an initial survey about 2 months prior and was never paid for it. This company owes me a total of $80 for two completed surveys.
On this past Monday, February 9th, a representative emailed me asking if I had colleagues/friends who may be interested in participating in their studies. I responded back by inquiring about my incentive and payment for the first survey that I participated in that I never received payment for, in addition to the survey I am still awaiting payment for, and guess what? I was ghosted and did not receive a response back! Seemingly this company does not pay for the time and efforts participants put into their surveys.

We aim to complete all payments within one month of the reward method being selected. As your selection was made on 30 January, the payment was still within the stated processing timeframe.
Regarding the additional survey you mentioned, we have been unable to locate this using the information currently available.

Never Pays, it's useless…
I completed a survey Whose reference no is Ref: 8534*/48209* and I received an email regarding the reward. I received it on 5th Jan 2026 but as soon as I withdrew the reward, I received another email on 9th Jan 2026 which said that your reward has been cancelled.
What a useless thing this is, if the quality check is passed once then how can it fail again, these people do not want to pay at all, do not use Ronin studies, it will only give you stress, you will not get any money.
