First off, you can lose weight with diet and exercise without putting money towards an app! This app is a scam! I’ve participated in three dietbets, so far, and lost money on all three! Not because I didn’t lose my 4% weight, I succeeded my weight loss goal each time, but the whole point is to have LESS people in your diet bet succeed so you don’t have to split the money pool! The more people succeed, the less money you get AND when you initially sign up, you have to read the fine print and un click to their fee or it’s an added hidden charge, so you lost additional money! Each time I won my diet bet, I was in the negative from my initial bet because of the app charge and from almost everyone meeting their goal! I want people to get healthy! I want to root for others, but this app has you only rooting for yourself and wanting others to lose so you can, at least, make back what you bet! In this app, you earn less if more people win! What a scam! Just exercise and eat less calories than you take in and save your money from this app scamming you!

I had the same issue as everyone. Losing money…even though I won. Specifically mine was StepBet, and I was doing really well, I was up to 20,000 steps even tho my goal was under 9,000. I was feeling amazing, and then another issue happened. Since it was my first game and one w a prize I didn’t realize that they awarded the prize before the game was even over. I mean the prize was a pair of shoes, I mean I need a new pair of shoes like I need a moose for a pet, but I still feel like the prize should go to someone who has won the game, guess that’s just crazy talk? I slumped into a depression like no other. I went from 20,000 steps to just doing my goal of under 9000. By the time I “won” I was fat and weighed more than my original starting weight, I never would have thought it would be that much of a mindkiller, but it was, sucked the joy right out of me. When I first signed up for this particular app the screen page was misleading it made it look like you had to either buy into the monthly membership or the yearly membership, however if you looked at the far right corner there is an “X” if you click that you don’t have to pay a membership and can be a nonmember. I see that they keep claiming “operating costs” for why they take 25% of the pot…but I mean it would be nice if they detailed what those operation costs were, then maybe people wouldn’t be so miffed.

I have been using DietBet on and off for the past year and have lost about 17 pounds. I like the idea and am happy with my overall progress for my general health. On the old app version, you were able to see your progress pictures in addition to your documented weight trend. However with the new version, you are no longer able to see your own pictures side by side, instead you have to pay extra to become a member to see your own progress! This is unfair! When they list the update in the App Store with “improves bugs” they don’t tell you that they will be taking away previously permitted functions. This is frustrating because I was able to see my progress and be motivated by the visual improvement. I am very upset by this finding and encourage all users to avoid updating the app, because you lose this function and motivating factor. I am unsure if I will continue using the app, and will likely request a pay out from my previous wins.
