Congratulations to us winners who bought into making $3.25. And why? Because the owners of this site take 25% of winnings. What an absolute scam. What exactly does diet bet need 25% of our money for? I’ll wait.

You do know that you agreed to them taking 25% when you signed up, right? Just becuase you can't or won't read doesn't make it a scam. Not only are they a business, out to make money, but they also have lots of expenses. IT staff, people verifying weigh ins, I'm sure they have an office somewhere, servers to run the site on, it all adds up.

I participated in this one thinking they were all the same, one big pot and the winners split it. I had no clue that some of them they were keeping a lot of the bet money

First of all, congrats to those who made it. This game had a 72% win rate!

For those expecting a bigger payout, here is some math:

913 who did not win put in $40 each, forming the pot of $36,520. Not sure if Dietbet was asserting they were throwing in the extra $5k themselves or if it's suggesting a lucky winner gets an extra $5k. We will assume the latter as the former just makes things look worse...

2,310 won and were paid an extra 3.49 each from the pot for a total of $8,061.90 (after also earning their own $40 back).

$8,061.90 went to winners from pot of $36,520 leaving $28,458.10. If we assume from this a lucky someone was paid $5K, that brings it down to $23,458.10 that went to Dietbet, the game host or any of the weekly prizes and giveaways these games often have.

For context, if Dietbet and the host kept $0 as payment and split the whole $36,520 pot among the winners, each of the 2,310 winners would've ony been paid $15.80 in addition to getting their $40 back.

So yes, you are making very little money from most of these games, but remember, the main point is for you to have a $40 incentive to say no to that cheatburger. Between Dietbet and the game host though, someone got a nice payday out of it, and that's the game.

Yeah not cool. Lost $1.50 by “winning”.

Safe to say we can keep our $40 in a jar and save ourselves the embarrassment of a $3 win.

Putting another reminder here because my other game just finalized and there are people losing it over how much DietBet took…

First of all, the point of these isn’t to make money! The point it to shed the pounds and get into a better lifestyle than we previously were. The money is just an incentive.

Secondly, DietBet is very upfront with their fees and such. They take anywhere from 10-25% of the pot and the host also gets a %.

And lastly, the amount we get also depends on how many people won. I truly wish that EVERYONE who entered, reached their goal and won. Isn’t that what this is about? Cheering each other on to success and reaching out goals? I’d give my entire wager away if it meant everyone reached their goal.

So before this game finalizes remember the real reason you’re here. Take a deep breath and remember where you were a month ago and how you FELT compared to where you are today and how you feel today! This was truly an amazing group. I loved every minute! So don’t ruin that for us who have loved this group. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it all. 😊❤💪

I've never been unhappy before but I actually lost money on this one even though I won because I did the bet+membership. They promise you will get your money back if you win and I didn't realize that didn't Include the membership costs for the month.

Yup! They have definitely changed their pay out rates. Will not be diet betting again.
