Q. What is an Adherence competition?
A. Adherence competitions focus primarily on how long you can maintain your goals. Players compete to see who can to stay the course with their chosen behaviour for longer than others in their game . eg 5000 steps per week.
Q. How do you prevent cheating?
A. We prevent cheating by conducting periodic performance audits. What this means is that you may be asked to record and send a video or join a video call of your weighin (or a screen recording for Activity games) that includes a one-time passcode for us to comprehensively check.
We may also require confirmation of your scales' calibration by evidence of you weighin a fixed-weight object (eg, 2L bottle of water).
This process ensures games can be run fairly and hopefully minimises the stress in normal score-taking periods.
Q. How long does a competition last?
A. The competitions are typically run indefinitely, as the aim of this type of intervention is to instil a new social accountability lifestyle habit through competition. For some games like weight loss a defined end period can be chosen, eg lose 5% in 6 months.
Q. How often are you assessed?
A. The performance review period varies to suit the players desired level of social accountability. The performance review periods are customisable from daily, to once every 365 days. You decide what suits you and join or start a game with those performance review parameters.
Q. When can I join a competition?
A. Competitions always start on a specific date, but they are open ended so you can join any time thereafter. You will still have to meet the full performance criteria of the game, from the date you join the game.
Q. Who can organise a competition?
A. Anyone can organize a competition and invite friends and family members to participate.
Q. How do I invite people to join my competition?
A. You can invite your friends and family to join your BetYourselfBetter challenge from your dashboard. Invitations are sent to potential participants via email.
Q. Can I do a competition on my own?
A. Yes you can compete against yourself if you prefer, but we encourage competition against others as we have found that users who do compete with friends and family are 3x more likely to achieve their goals. Plus, if you win your challenge in a group you may win some additional cash. If you do it alone there is no additional cash to win other than your own competition entry fee.
Q. If I don't have people to join my competition how can I participate with others?
A. We offer public competitions for people with similar goals. Anyone can join one of these competitions, by using the ‘Promo Games’ button or 'Find a Team' search function on the homepage. If you can’t find what you’re looking for you’ll be invited to register a desired behaviour change goal with our ‘Find a Buddy’ matching service and we will notify you when others express interest in a game with same or similar behaviour change goal.
Q. What happens if I need to drop out of a challenge that I've joined or started?
A. We understand that sometimes things come up, but do remember these types of games are designed to see if you can balance the competing interests in your life. As your entry fee is used to pay for the prizes of those who maintain their goals for long than you, you can't drop out mid-competition without a 51% agreement from other players in the game. Theirs a poll voting function in each of the games which helps you manage an exist should you need to, however it totally at the discretion of the others in your games, so choose your opponents wisely.
Q. What if I want to permanently delete my account?
A. Please email us at info@betyourselfbetter.com and we will handle the request. It would be great if you could let us know why you want to leave so we can learn how to make it better.
Q. What is a competition entry fee?
A. The fee charged to all players who join a cash prize competition game, this is use to cover the cost of running the platform and fund the cash prizes.
Q. What is the minimum that I can charge for players to join a game?
A. The lowest competition entry fee amount is £1. If you are invited to join a friend's competition then you will need to pay the amount that they have set.
Q. What happens if I win my competition?
A. If you win, you keep your competition entry fee and win a share of the forfeiture pot, if you are doing the competition with others.
Q. Is it winner-takes-all?
A. No, it's a tournament structure, so everyone who stays in the competition wins a share of the available forfeiture pot at the end of each performance reporting period.
Q. What happens if I lose my competition?
A. If you lose you forfeit your competition entry fee money and the winners in your competition share the pot.
Q. Does BetYourselfBetter take a share of the winnings?
A. BetYourselfBetter takes 25% of the pot to cover it's expenses to run the competitions, maintain and improve the software and pay banking and credit card fees.
Q. What happens if everyone in the team meets their goal and wins the challenge?

10 GAME RULES
BetYourselfBetter is an open platform. There are no standard rules set by BetYourselfBetter, its the Initiator of the game or team who set the rules. Once the initiator proposes that game to the team players, they can review the game rules. If a member of a team to whom these rules are being proposed is interested in playing the game then he/she need to agree to those rules otherwise leave their participation in the game then and there.
Players who choose to enter fee-based Tournaments do so at their own discretion and risk. As in any money-based game, there is the risk of loss of money.
Player shall not participate in fee-based Tournaments (nor accept any Prize) if Player does not fully understand, agree to, become a party to, and shall abide by, without exception, all rules, regulations, terms and conditions contained herein and that such rules, regulations, terms and conditions may change from time-to-time. By using BetYourselfBetter.com server and software, Players agree to be bound by the following:
Player is at least the age of legal majority in the jurisdiction.
Player understands that Player will participate in entry fee-based Tournaments.
Player understands that for each performance period, Player must provide clear and accurate picture evidence of Players progress. Player agrees to provide picture evidence before the stipulated cut-off period.
Player understands that where BetYourselfBetter, a member within the BetYourselfBetter community or any 3rd party that BetYourselfBetter has contracted, deems Player picture evidence of performance inadequate a decline message stipulating the reason will be sent to the Player. Player understands Player must resubmit picture evidence of performance to address all reasons for the decline.
Player understands that Player may from time to time be selected for a performance audit and will be required to provide a video recording or join a video call so that BetYourselfBetter, a member within the BetYourselfBetter community or any 3rd party that BetYourselfBetter has contracted, can validate current and or historic performance levels of Player and or the accuracy of the tracking equipment of Player.
Player understands that Player may need to download a 3rd party screen recording app if the mobile phone of Player does not provide screen recording functionality.
Player understands that in the case of video recordings these will need to reference a OneTime Passcode (OTP) and must be provided within a defined turn-around time for the OTP.
Player understands that BetYourselfBetter does not charge the full game pledge amount upfront and only charges the fee for the 1st round of the tournament (1 x strike value). Player understands that although other players have pledged to complete all rounds of the game, they may choose to cancel their registered card at any time during the life of the game, leaving BetYourselfBetter unable to charge them forfeitures for remainder of the game. Where this happens BetYourselfBetter will immediately freeze that players account and subtract their remaining forfeiture amounts from the Total Pledge amount of the game. Player understand this will reduce the size of potential winnings.
Player does not find our games or fee-based events offensive, objectionable, unfair or indecent.
Player understands that some games stipulate that a percentage of forfeitures should be awarded to charity or a community cause. Player understands that in these games, Player agrees to award Betyourselfbetter a higher percentage of the forfeitures, equivalent to the desired charitable contribution. Player understands that this additional percentage becomes the property of Betyourselfbetter and is not being handled on behalf of Player. Player understands that Betyourselfbetter is under no contractual obligation to make a donation on behalf of the Player/s, but will endeavour to honour the desired contribution intention of the players. Betyourselfbetter follows relevant government guidelines https://www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk/ when handling fundraising matters, but makes no promise to monitor how funds are spent once the funds are donated to the charity or community cause. In the event that Betyourselfbetter become aware of misuse of donated funds, it may choose to look into the matter and/or notify relevant authorities if required, but is under no obligation to do so.
