REDEEMING REWARDS
No points system
Users are considered volunteers. On occasion, a user may be asked to beta test software or hardware, which they may be invited to keep upon completion of the test. A company may also thank the beta tester with products, gift cards or t-shirts after honest feedback is received.
OnlineBeta is now known as Betabound
The survey panel for product developers, "OnlineBeta" has been transformed into a next generation upgrade, "Betabound". Betabound is a website devoted to listing all of the available beta testing opportunities on the internet. Betabound offers a larger collection of betas which are hosted by Centercode, their partners and an array of companies and products. This remodeled system offers a more collaborative beta testing experience for its users which includes: voting, predictive feedback, open discussions, matching and much more. Betabound is now also mobile and tablet friendly, for added convenience.
Test a variety of exciting products!
Betabound focuses on providing a variety of products available for beta testing, some of these include: electronic and computer products, software, apps, games and websites. Some of these product tests will be accompanied by cash rewards, while other companies consider the free product given a reward in itself.
How to be chosen to test cutting edge products
Beta testing brand new products can be very fun and exciting. Well known tech companies give out hundreds of products each year, but to raise your chance of being chosen here are some quick tips:
- Before applying for testing, create a profile with Betabound. Make sure that your profile stands out and reflects the technology that you already own.
- Beta testing applicants are not chosen by chance; Read the project requirement carefully and make sure you meet the specific needs when applying
- Join large beta testing studies where many people are chosen and where it is free to participate.
- Make sure your profile is updated often with any new technology you own or become familiar with. If a beta test comes out and they don’t think you have the correct technology (i.e.: a specific mobile phone), you won’t get chosen. So make sure your profile is complete and contains as much information as possible to increase the likelihood of selection!
Ambassador Program
BetaBound has introduced an Ambassador program to directly reward you for helping them find more great candidates. If you opt in to be part of the Ambassador Program, BetaBound will alert you when they are looking for unique candidates for specific tests. For each tester you successfully sign up and participate, you’ll receive an Amazon credit.

Horrible

Slow Payout, Non Responsive, Never get chosen for betas when you are clearly qualified

Hi Dale,Thank you for sharing this feedback. Depending on the size, type, and complexity of each test, it may take us some time to distribute rewards to our participating testers. Since your review was written, we've made great strides in streamlining this process: once a test concludes, we review participation and send rewards within ~a week of the test ending. In some cases where we must work with our client to distribute the reward, it may take longer.
In terms of responsiveness, if you do not receive an immediate response on a specific test, please email my team and let us know: [email protected]. We respond within 24 hours and will work quickly to remedy any issues that may arise.
To the point of not being chosen for tests, there are a couple of reasons this may appear to be the case. Firstly, we may have reached our limit of testers for that test. We're sometimes left stuck being unable to pick everyone who is a fit for a given test. For example, if we're hosting a test in which we need 50 iOS users and 50 Android users, but 200 iOS and 200 Android users apply, there's no way that we can fit everyone on the test.
Additionally, we do not expose every single requirement to applicants up-front. For example, if we are testing a product that only works with Android smartphones that have a USB-C port, we may only list the requirement that they must "have an Android smartphone." This is because we will have numerous people apply and claim to meet the requirement (having a USB-C port) because they knew that was the only way they would be picked to test the test. This then leaves them unable to use the device once we ship it to them (because it won't work without USB-C) - which just wastes everybody's time. In hiding the requirement up-front, we have a much higher rate of accurate responses.
We hope this makes sense. If there's any additional details that me or my team can provide, please reach out to us at [email protected] — we're happy to help provide more insight.
Again, thank you for the feedback.
All the best,
Conrad

Hi Kevin,Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback.
There are a number of factors in play when it comes to finding the most-qualified applicants for each test. For each test, we send email invitations to the individuals who we feel are pre-qualified (based on their profile). From there, we present them with a Qualification Survey.
This survey will help us determine if they are able to test the product in their environment and if it will be compatible with their existing devices. In addition, we include an open-ended question at the end asking why they may be a good fit to test. We typically look for things like proper grammar and punctuation, a display of genuine interest in testing, examples of why they would be a good fit, and an explanation of how they fit the test's requirements.
For more details on the application process, you can check out this blog post:

Conrad
