We have also received a $1 million grant from the U.S National Institutes of Health to keep building on our unique system. What really makes WayBetter special are our proprietary Motivation Boosters! Behavioral scientists call them “commitment contracts.” Decades of studies show they work! When you join a game, you’ll have a choice of Motivation Boosters: Financial Commitment WayBetter’s original Motivation Booster! You’ll put a little of your own money into the game’s “pot” at the start. At the end, if you’ve completed all the game activities, you’re a winner! You get all your money back plus a small profit. The profit comes from the players who didn’t complete the game. Their money is split equally among all the winners. WayBetter doesn’t keep any of it! Our data shows that players who put their money on the line are 5x more likely to succeed in achieving the game’s goal. Over a million people have already done it and to encourage you to try it, we’ll give you the money to cover your first game! While there’s money on the line, it’s never about the money. It’s about getting you to invest in your health, build momentum and confidence, and stick to your commitments. For any lawyers reading, we’ll add that winning in our games involves no element of chance and nothing outside your direct control. Winning is a result of your hard work, not luck.

They won’t pay out
They won’t pay out if you have multiple email addresses (like most normal people do). If you don’t initially sign up for WayWorse using the same email address you use for your PayPal account, they will keep all the money you invested and won. They don’t tell you this until it’s too late. So unless you use the same email address for Paypal as you use for Facebook or Google, don’t use your Facebook or Google account to sign up for WayWorse. And even if you remember do that, this app really is not worth shelling out $70 every six months just to use it. UPDATE: WayBetter’s disingenuous response says they simply need me to confirm my PayPal account, and to just email their support team for more help. But I’VE ALREADY DONE BOTH MULTIPLE TIMES!!!!
My very first time
I was nervous in the beginning because of my anxiety and not having joy with my. Self . Now I’m excited for the new me .
Don’t waste your money
Not worth it. The “games” don’t help you lose weight, all you have to do is take selfies. The UI isn’t great and the customer support is worse. You also don’t win much money, so yeah, there are better weight loss apps out there. Edit: based on the response: the tracker games aren’t compatible with my tracker, so they don’t work for me. And I submitted everything on the correct day, except for one that had an error in the metadata from my camera but the game didn’t tell me there was an error, I had to contact customer support. And by the time they got back to me, it was too late to fix, so I lost my money. Because of an error that I couldn’t foresee and couldn’t know to fix. So no, I’m not going to give it another try, and it wasn’t my fault for submitting things on the wrong day.
Keeps me accountable
This app keeps me accountable every time I bet on myself. You won’t get rich but you can earn money and get in shape in the process
Games Hosts Change Rules During Game-Lost Money
So I just started, it’s my second week. I entered 3 different games, and paid $30 total ($10 for each). The rule for one of them was to initially take a photo of myself on a scale once a week. I thought initially that all games would be similar by posting photos and comments almost every day (or every day), but I thought this was easy and great because I could definitely show results after one week. I was super excited about it. Today is Monday, I enter the game and I see that the rule has changed: I was suppose to log in every day. So, I automatically lost the $10 I gave for it (the people who log in every day win and split the sum of the money that were given by all participants). Great concept for an app, but I’m not going to be a part of a scam where a host decides to rip of hundreds of people to take all their money. And if this was some kind of a game glitch, then the host and the app should give the participants their money back (and I don’t think they will do that). Don’t subscribe to this app.
Rip off
This app does not pay you! I’ve tried several times to get my money. They blame PayPal but PP has no record of anything! Save your money!
