The diet world has more than its fair share of bad actors, bogus products, and scams. To reassure you that we’re not like them, we are transparent about how we make money.
First, we charge a fee for our DietBet Safe service. This is where Organizers sanction us to collect and manage the pot on their behalf, paying out the winners at the end. We offer this as a convenience, letting players place their bets via credit cards or Paypal. We have to charge something for this since we incur credit card transaction processing fees.
Second, we offer links to buy products on our website and in our Daily Carrot emails. If you buy a product from us this way, we’ll earn a commission. We work hard to curate the products we promote and we never sell anything we wouldn’t pay for and use ourselves.
Finally, we sell advertising. Fitness, nutrition, and other health-oriented brands pay us to reach dietbetters. Some brands even sponsor players the way Nike sponsors athletes. This ends up being a win-win. Players get compensated to endorse the products they really use while our sponsors get authentic word-of-mouth marketing.
