What is TopSurveys?
TopSurveys is a “get-paid-to” (GPT) platform/app where users can earn money or gift-cards by completing paid surveys, offers (like downloading or playing games), and other micro-tasks.
It claims to operate in 40+ countries, making it available to many international users.
Its stated mission: “Make taking surveys just as exciting and fun as it is rewarding.”
They state they offer rewards for cash, gift cards, or even charity donations. Also Download Happy Teen Patti

How it works
Sign-up & profile
You can register via email, Google or Apple account. Then fill in profile details (age, gender, location, interests) which helps match you to relevant surveys.
Earning tasks
Surveys: You’ll see a list of available surveys, each showing the expected pay and estimated time. You click, answer a few qualifying questions, and if you qualify, complete the survey and earn the reward. Many reviewers highlight that TopSurveys seems to have a lower “screen‐out” or disqualification rate compared to many survey apps.
Paid offers / game tasks: In addition to standard surveys, you may also encounter tasks such as downloading a game via a QR code, playing until a certain level, or signing up for another app/site. These tend to have higher payouts but often also higher time-investment and risk.
Payouts & rewards
Minimum cash-out threshold for many users is around US$5.
Withdraw via PayPal (in supported countries), bank transfer (in some regions), or gift cards (Amazon, Walmart, etc.).
Some users report very fast payout delivery (e.g., gift cards arriving in under a minute) in the tests.

Pros of TopSurveys
Lower disqualification (“screen-out”) rate: Many users say they are more often able to qualify for surveys than in many other platforms.
Transparent survey info: Some reviewers noted the platform shows expected time, pay, and a rating for the survey — which helps decide whether to take it.
Flexible rewards: With options like gift cards, cash via PayPal/bank, plus charity.
Easy to use, decent UI: Reviewers say the app/website is user-friendly.
Available globally (in many countries): Good if you’re not in just the US/UK.

Cons / Things to watch out for
Earnings are modest: This is not a full-time income replacement. Most surveys pay small amounts (e.g., US$1 or less) for a few minutes of work. Some tasks/offers may pay more but require much more time.
Availability & payout vary by country: If you’re in a lower-“tier” country (outside US/UK/Canada/Australia) you may see fewer surveys, lower pay.
Time estimates may be optimistic: Some users say the survey time is longer than indicated. > “Times aren’t accurate as to duration of surveys. It is much longer than mentioned.”
Offers can be riskier/require more effort: The game-offer tasks may require many hours or “missions” and if you fail to complete them you may not get the full reward.
First cash-out minimum may be higher: In one test the reviewer said the first payout threshold was US$20 because of a bonus they took, which might delay first payout.
Support/account review delays: Some users reported their account was “under review” temporarily, or support responses were slower.

Is it worth it — My verdict
If you’re looking for a low-stress way to earn a bit of extra money (say, during your spare time or while commuting) then TopSurveys is a legitimate option. The evidence suggests it does pay, supports gift cards/cashouts, and has decent user feedback. But you should set realistic expectations:
Don’t expect large sums — maybe a few dollars a day if you’re consistent and lucky with survey availability.
The value of your time vs pay: If you spend 20 minutes on a survey that pays a dollar, ask yourself if that’s worth it (given your alternative options).
Use it as a supplementary side hustle, not a main income source.
If you’re in India (since you’re in Maharashtra), check whether TopSurveys supports payouts/giftcards in India — availability may differ, and survey volume may be lower compared to US/UK.

Tips to maximise your earnings
Keep your profile up-to-date and honest — this helps match you to more surveys you qualify for.
Check the estimated time vs payout and aim for “better value” surveys (higher pay per minute).
Turn on notifications (if available) so you catch new surveys quickly — many fill up fast.
Use the gift-card/cashout redeem option that gives you the best value in your region.
Treat it like “fun side work” — don’t invest large chunks of your productive time expecting big returns.
If game-offer tasks appeal, pick only those with clear mission instructions and realistic payout.
Be careful with tasks/offers that require you to share sensitive personal information or pay upfront — legitimate survey-apps should not ask for payment from you.

For your context (in India)
Since you are in Airoli, Maharashtra, India:
Verify whether Indian residents are fully supported by TopSurveys — survey volume may be less than in “tier-1” countries.
Check the payout methods available in India (e.g., gift cards usable in India, bank transfer or PayPal if supported).
Consider local alternatives as well (Indian survey apps) which may offer more region-specific tasks.
Factor currency conversion and local reward value — even if you earn USD, the Indian Rupee value and payout reliability matter.
