FAQ

Yes. Starting a personal challenge is free, and entering the founder free roll is free.

You choose a charity and “then” pledge “an” amount. If you miss the agreed target, you are expected to donate that pledge directly to the charity.

Pick an amount that will motivate you to achieve your goal. It should feel meaningful without being reckless.

Your challenge is marked as missed, the outcome appears on the archive, and your pledged donation should be made to your chosen charity.

Bet Of Your Life uses check-ins, evidence links, admin review, and public accountability. Some challenges may need screenshots, photos, app exports, or other evidence. Ultimately, if people are not being honest they are only cheating themselves.

Yes. Weight-loss challenges can use either weight or body fat percentage. Body fat targets show the implied weekly rate without the 1kg/week advisory.

Bet Of Your Life does not provide medical advice or judge your method. Speak to a qualified clinician before using medication or making health decisions.

Phase 1 is the target. Phase 2 proves you can maintain it. The structure removes the gap where old habits often return. A third phase will be initiated once the first weight loss challenge has been completed.

You can stop participating, but the public record may still show the outcome according to the agreed challenge rules. A charity donation is expected if you quit as you have failed the challenge.

Approved public challenges can show your name, target, progress, pledge, charity, dates, and outcome. Progress photos only appear on your profile page.

No account is required. Your private check-in link is sent after admin approval, and your profile is linked automatically by email address.

No. There is no weighing in early. The weigh ins will take place within the agreed timeframes.

I cannot force you to make the payment but it would very much be against the spirit of the what the site is trying to achieve. I come from an industry where the majority of individuals are upstanding and trustworthy. I would hope the same here. You will not be allowed to partake in future challenges if you don’t honour the charity pledge.

I expect people to record on video the making of the payment. (excluding any card details). I also expect to see a confirmation/receipt of the paid amount.

It will be all recorded and it will be a completely random draw. The money will be sent via bank transfer shortly afterwards. That is assuming they have fulfilled the relevant sign-up criteria.

Yes. If the founder fails any of those Challenges a random draw will be made and the money sent to someone fulfilling the sign-up criteria.
