Every Monday, Weight Wager will calculate if you went up in weight or down in weight against the previous Monday. We call this 'Money Mondays'.  If you went down in weight, you win a share of the money from those who went up.

WEIGHT LOSS, NUTRITION AND FITNESS PROFESSIONALS HELP YOU ALONG THE WAY*

80% of Americans gain all of the weight back that they lost within 1 year.

 

Let's face it, weight loss is not fun. We make it fun, into a lucrative game that teaches you healthy nutrition, exercise and weight loss lifestyle tips to permanently keep the weight off.

What is Weight Wager?

 

Users bet a weekly wager amount against themselves that they will go down in weight from Monday to Monday during the duration of the game.  Users then choose between 4-52 weeks that they want to compete.  Users who go down in weight win a share of money from the users who went up in weight and have to pay up.   

 

 

How do users get paid?

 

Within 1-2 weeks after the game is over, users will receive their earnings through the payment service that they registered with at the beginning of the game.  Users will also pay through that same service when they gain weight after their Monday weigh-in.     

 

 

Why should I make a Weight Wager?

 

Because it can make you more successful at losing weight regardless of which diet or exercise program you are pursuing. A variety of recent academic research demonstrates that financial incentives triple the effectiveness of weight loss programs. WeightWager applies those academic principles to make you more successful at weight loss. WeightWager helps you establish a clear goal that has a significant positive impact on your health. WeightWager also helps you establish a clear timeline to achieve that goal.

 

 

What is the most I can win?

 

This depends on if you lose weight weekly and how much you decided to bet weekly.  All winnings are based on a share of how much was generated by those who went up in weight.

 

 

How do I weigh-in?

 

You weigh in using either your wifi/bluetooth connected smart scale or with your Android or Apple smartphone.

 

Can I participate in more than one challenge at the same time?

Absolutely. You can participate in up to 3 challenges at the same time! So double-up, even triple-up to maximize your winnings for the same weight loss!

 

 

Do I have to weigh in daily?

 

Yes. Weigh in daily.  The day that your weigh in counts for money is on Mondays.  Your Monday weigh in is compared to the previous Monday and if you went up in weight you pay your wagered amount.  If you went down in weight, you get a share of what others who went up in weight paid into the pot.

 

 

Do I need to have my weight verified?

 

Yes. your weight will be verified on Money Mondays and after the game is over.

 

 

How do I get my weight verified?

 

Two options:

 

Using our mobile app.  Transmit the weight from your smart scale.

 

Use your mobile phone to take an aerial picture and a close up picture of the weight amount.

 

 

Can I participate if I am located outside of the U.S?

 

WeightWager is available to residents of the United States only at this time.  Email us from which country and we will consider expansion if we get enough demand.

 

 

How do I know my payment information is secure?

 

WeightWager uses the trusted security within Paypal, Venmo and Zelle.  These companies transmit large amounts of money daily and their security is second to none.

 

 

Is Weight Wager legal?

 

Yes. Although we use the word "bet" or "wager" to explain the concept, WeightWager isn't gambling in the legal sense because you are in control of the outcome at all times.  There is no actual bet or odds.  It is a game of skill. It is simply up to you to lose the weight.

 

 

Can I end my game early?

 

You can either downgrade your game into a shorter duration of weeks and bet amount.  Or you can terminate your game at anytime however you have to pay a $50 early termination fee for that.

 

 

How do I pay when I go up in weight?

 

We charge your Paypal, Venmo(coming soon) account when you go up in weight.

 

 

Do I have to hit your final weight loss milestones?

 

No.  All you have to do is go down in weight from week to week - if you never reach your final weight goal, you are not penalized.

 

 

Can I participate if I am pregnant?

 

No.  For the safety of you and the baby, we do not allow participation in Weight Wager if you are pregnant.

 

 

Is there a minimum weight loss goal?

 

No.  And you do not have to reach your weight goal to play the game or even be fully successful in the game.  What you do have to do is lose weight from Monday to Monday to win money.

 

 

Are my winnings taxed?

 

WeightWager does not withhold any of the winnings for taxes. The IRS has set a $600 threshold for reporting of contest prizes/winnings. We will request your tax information only if you win a prize greater than the IRS threshold. If your net proceeds are less than the IRS threshold, we will not collect your tax information. You should, of course, ask your tax advisor for advice as to whether your specific winnings are taxable (we make no representations).
