DietBet - Weight Loss Games
It’s unlike any other diet program, and it works: 96% of players lose weight, and winners take home an average of $58! Not to toot our own horn, but one player even said, "This app is the key to weight loss!”
The idea is simple: bet on yourself to lose weight with a group of other players. If you meet your weight loss goal by the end of the game, you split the pot with the other players. Boom! You just made money getting healthy.
You can choose between two game types:
**Kickstarter: Lose 4% of your weight in 4 weeks
**Transformer: Lose 10% of your weight in 6 months
We verify weight with photos, algorithmic auditing, and a team of amazing Referees who individually review each weigh-in Speaking of our Refs, they’re also on call 24/7 to help with any question or concern.
Whether you join a game led by another DietBet player or choose a celebrity-hosted game (inspiring fitness-minded folk like Jillian Michaels and Chris & Heidi Powell), you’ll experience the unparalleled support of the DietBet community. Because players compete against the scale, not each other, you’ll be cheered on by your game-mates. As one player put it: “So encouraging and united! Woot!”

Overall good experience over the years. Payouts are sometimes only a few dollars but the whole not wanting to lose money is more of the motivator for me. Tried the membership for 1 challenge. Not worth it in my opinion.
Been both a contestant and a host and had a good experience both times. Nothing motivates me more to count my calories then putting my money on the line.
It impossible to record your weight alone. To take your full body photo, you are required to take a picture of yourself on a digital scale with key word and your weight illuminated on screen. In doing so, you better make sure you have the latest smart phone with the best picture quality that can catch the shot when the weight post on the scale and in the right lighting condition. Otherwise you will continuosly be repeating it. Just got DQ and lost $100 beause I did not have the perfect photo.
They make this so complicated that it is far easier to lose your money than make any EVEN when you hit your weight loss targets. They have required weigh-ins but don't really inform you of them other than a notification in your inbox which easily gets lost with literally dozens of other notifications that you are bombarded with. Probably a good app for those who can spend an our a day weeding through the clutter but not for people who have lives. VERY frustrated to lose my money when I beat the goals by A LOT and had an official weigh in before the deadline for one game that apparently was too early for the other game. Also required weigh-ins are very difficult as there is no way I can do them at home since I live alone. I have to make a trip each time to somewhere with a full length mirror just to do a weigh in. Great concept, but poor implementation. I am also using Healthywage and am not so far having any problems with thier systems. They are extremely clear with what needs done when and when I weigh-in for one challenge it automatically updates all my challenges. Much easier so far.
I was able to lose 13.5 pounds in my first 4 weeks with the help of this app/program/challenge. Ready to start challenge #2! Easy to use. Great accountability!!! I did have a problem submitting my final weigh-in, which I've heard is a common issue. Simply had to uninstall and reinstall again. Not a big deal but do hope they can fix this.
I love it because it helps keep you motivated and accountable!! It's literally having a short term goal in a certain amount of time in order to get to your long term goal!! And if you make the goal then you also make money!! Plus the support of the people there going through the same problems or have been in the same situations as you, its so helpful and its the best!!
The old app version was soooooo much better! The new one lags, doesn't list how much is needed to lose to reach your goal, you can no longer filter posts to read just yours or just the host, etc. Overall, you should have just left things the way they were, which was great! This new version, well, it stinks!
This app has been a great motivator for me to lose weight. Its a fabulous way to hold myself accountable. I have had issues with weigh in every single time- I have to delete and reinstall the app everytime I try to upload verification pics (supper annoying and many others have had this issue too). I also wish there were notifications when someone replies to my comments on someone else's post.
This app is the BEST accountability partner you can have. I love having the small goals each month to help me achieve my overall goal. I also love entering my weight into the app and seeing my progress toward my goal. I usually play in multiple games at the same time because the goal weights are different. When playing in multiple games, you only have to update your weight once and it will update automatically in all of your games. Payouts are also very quick. Thanks Diet Bet.
The concept is great! However, Dietbet takes 10-25% of the pot. I do understand that they need to get paid. I wish they were more transparent with listing total winners per pot. In the end, you have no idea how much they are really taking. If you need a little motivation or a Kickstarter this may work for you. Keep in mind, this doesn't provide nutrition or an exercise plan.... it's just keeps you aware of your weight (basically you have to keep weighing yourself) which you can do for free.
It's a fun way for us who are completive to band together and lose weight. 4% doesn't seem like a lot to lose but a few blips here and there and it can get dicey. But rather than fall back on old bad habits (poor food choices) I reminded myself of the game. I'm fortunate to have a lot of yard to work on and that has been a calorie burner. This is my first time so I made my goal but I'm not sure yet what any payout looks like. But I feel like a winner - lost 2 pounds over my goal! Try it!
Well done app. Not buggy, smooth interface, great ability to choose notification and email preferences. As for the premise of the dietbet, just dont bring it up to friends or family unless you want to start a debate of how to best lose weight. I found it works well for me but to each his own. This review is more about the app itself and this app works perfectly. 5/5 would download again! Edit 8/25/19: spelling and clarity
The concept is really great and has worked well for me so far. I took off a star because the winnings don't seem to add up. I was in a game with 9 people and 6 people (myself included) won. However, I only got my initial bet back even though the app states that the winners split the pot. Either a glitch occurred or they took all that money as profit instead. That seems dangerously close to fraud.
Fun app that gave me the motivation to actually eat right and exercise! The app was helpful but you have more access and different ways to be encouraged if you get the full membership. The idea of competing to get healthy and actually winning money makes it so much more exciting! I would recommend it for ppl who like to compete!
At first it can be a little confusing on what to do. I almost gave up when trying to enter my initial weight in. New people need more detail information so that weight ins don't get rejected. I know I wasn't the only one having that problem.
Worst experience. Please i suggest no one to use this app as you will loose money in it. This app is a scam. First they will give little money by announcing winner and afterwards they will violate you out in another games and you will loose all your money at last. So be careful and I recommend you to not use this app.
I like the program, but the app is not so good. I wasn't having the problems everyone else was talking about, and then I guess the app auto updated and now I do. Saw a response by the developer saying they had fixed the problems in a new update, so I reinstalled from play store, and now it is worse. Can't see what I'm typing after the first two lines, and leaving comments on a post takes you back to the first screen of posts. Hope you can fix this because I won't be back after this bet if not.
Keeps you motivated and encouraged to lose weight! Lots of people you can relate to. Only thing i wish they'd get fixed is the fact that sometimes you cant submit your weigh in. You have to uninstall the app and reinstall it or log out and back in to be able to do your weigh in. For people that are constantly on the go like me, it's a hassle.
It's pretty disappointing to work for a month, meet your weight loss goal, and then win only what you bet. I won't be doing dietbet again. Response to response: 🙃 nope. I did it for the win. I've lost 100 pounds independent of dietbet. Not happy.
I haven't been able to get the app to work correctly for several weeks. I can't upload my weigh-ins. I've been using this app for several years and have never had problems like I have recently. I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking maybe it would fix the problem. It didn't. I have to go to the website and it is just not mobile device friendly. Please work out your bugs & this will again be a great app.
I enjoy competition to motivate me so this is a great app. My first time I did a private group and was disappointed that I had to scroll through adds from dietbet to see my friends posts and comments. It's not a huge issue but an annoyance. I also wa summed that they don't announce the winners to the whole group. I am trying a popular group next so I will have to update when I'm done.
