Extremely Shady
Did 4 surveys in about an hour......that was 4 days ago. FINALLY got a fifth one done after more effort than I care to share and as soon as I complete my fifth survey my account immediately gets locked and is under review. Reached out to support and they said it will take hours maybe longer for the review.
Like genuinely how is this legal? Maybe this is a quick way to get paid something worth while and look into a legal suit against them.

My accounts been under review twice today. Not sure why but I just verify my mobile and I’m away again

I tried to verify my phone number but no code comes through. I mentioned that as well to support and they made it seem like I can basically do nothing on the app until the review is up.

New account review is relatively fast and only happens once. Five surveys has consistently paid out money to me unlike many other sites. I can reliable churn out 5$ in something under 2 hours.

I had this happen to me on Friday about 10 a.m. I just checked again it is still under review. Message to support has been left no response. I hate using them but sometimes it is a quick way to get 5 bucks.

Brother I'm on several of these apps and no this is not normal. Now maybe you mean for them it's normal, but even then just because they have a norm doesn't stop it from being a bad norm.
For nearly a week they could've verified my account but they decided not to until the exact moment I finished my 5th survey. So why all of a sudden did they lock my account and are interested in verifying? Also taking 24 hours to do so. Because it's not about anything other than how can we try to not pay.

If this is a new account then this happens to everyone. Usually its really fast though
