Weigh In.

on your mark, get set ... weigh in!

Two days before your game begins, you'll be prompted to submit your official starting weight.
Our standard weigh-in process involves you submitting two photos, one of you on a scale in airport security attire; another of the scale's readout with your weigh-in word.

NOTE: We never post weigh-in photos and
your actual weight is kept private by default.
What you'll need...
a scale (preferably digital)
a digital camera or smartphone
A full-length mirror or someone to take your photo

HOW WE PREVENT CHEATING
We have a photo review process in which players submit proof of their initial and final weights to our team of Referees. We also have algorithms that detect unusual activity within a game or across games and use an auditing system where some players may be required to submit extra proof of their weight loss using: a Skype weigh-in with one of our Referees, a video weigh-in, or an in-person weigh-in at a location pre-approved by DietBet, such as a Walgreens or CVS clinic. If requested, you will have to submit further proof of your weight within 24 hours. Since weights fluctuate naturally, we allow up to 1% of your final weight as variance for your audited weigh-in only. This variance does not apply to the standard final weigh-in. Failure to comply will result in disqualification and forfeiture of your winnings and initial bet. You may also be banned from playing again and subject to other penalties.

Congratulations, your starting weight has been approved!

It's called Social Dieting

DietBet is not winner-take-all. Everyone who loses the weight splits the pot evenly.

How do you prevent cheating?

Players will submit official weigh-in photos at the start and end of a game. DietBet will verify each photo and certify the final winners.

Um, is this gambling?

Nope. DietBet is not a game of chance. Believe it or not, your weight is under your control.
