HealthyWage is a fitness app that will actually ask you to gamble, so if you are not a gambling man, this isn’t a good fit for you. You see, to earn from this app, you actually have to bet a certain amount when you participate in one of their challenges.

You’ll have to do monthly check-ins so that DietBet can track your progress. At the end of the game, if you were able to lose the target percentage of body weight, you will win the bet.

You will then get paid via PayPal and you will receive it immediately since the app doesn’t have a payout threshold you need to reach. You can also choose to get paid via check which will be sent to you via postal mail. If you choose this method, DietBet will charge $5 for the mailing fee.

StepBet is a fitness app that will allow you to earn by betting on yourself. To earn from this app, you have to place a bet when you participate in a game. The game usually lasts 6 weeks and in order to win, you have to use a fitness tracker like Fitbit, Garmin, Google Fit, or S Health.

To win their fitness games, you have to take a certain number of steps. That means you have to walk or run while using your fitness tracker of choice. The pedometer of your fitness tracker will forward the number of steps you have taken for every week you have participated in the game.

Aside from the overall goal of the game, you also have to meet the weekly goals set by StepBet. If you are able to meet your goal at the end of the game, you will earn the reward which will be taken from the game’s pot money. The pot money will be split in to the total number of participants who meet the overall goal minus StepBet’s cut which will be 15% of the pot money.
