StepBet

StepBet is a fitness game that motivates users to be more active by putting money on the line. Players join a "game" (usually lasting 6 weeks) and place a bet, typically around $40. The app syncs with fitness trackers like Fitbit, Apple Watch, or Garmin to calculate personalized step goals based on the user's history.

Players who hit their step goals every week for the duration of the game split the pot. The pot is funded by the bets of players who drop out or miss their goals. It is a legitimate way to gamify exercise; if you are consistent, you are guaranteed to win your money back plus a small profit. It turns walking into a paying side hustle.
