How do I cheat on HealthyWage?
Cheating is not easy to do on HealthyWage. They have a video verification process that requires you to validate your identity and your weight. You verify your weight twice for each challenge, once at the beginning (starting verified weigh-in) and once at the end (ending verified weigh-out).
To submit your verified weigh-ins, you use HealthyWage’s mobile app (available on iOS and Android), where you can complete your verification within 30 seconds and do it from the comfort and privacy of your own home. The mobile app gives you step-by-step instructions that include a digital scale, as well as a full-length mirror if you’re filming yourself. The reason why a digital scale is required is that it helps ensure your weight is correct and prevents you from submitting a second verified weight for confirmation.
In addition, loose fitting clothes are not permitted, and you are required to turn around (proving you don’t have any objects attached to your body to increase body weight). Click here to view HealthyWage’s verified weigh-in options.
HealthyWage’s verifier team looks at each video weigh-in closely to ensure that (a) it’s the actual participant and (b) the weight is correct. All weigh-ins are reviewed by the verifier team. They are nice; however, they will request a second verification if anything is unclear in your video. In addition. HealthyWage is known to use proprietary algorithms, weigh-in reviews and, if necessary, outside investigators and law enforcement to catch cheaters.
How do I cheat on DietBet?
DietBet is potentially a little easier to cheat on. With DietBet, you take a weigh-in picture of your feet on the scale with the weigh-in word. The easiest way to cheat would be to calibrate your scale to show a different weight then you are. We have also heard of people leaning on their kitchen counter (or a third object) to push much of their weight off of the scale, or having their friend get on the scale for them.
If you’re caught cheating on HealthyWage
HealthyWage has reported some cheaters to law enforcement. By cheating, you are effectively stealing money and there is legal/criminal risk. If you are caught cheating, not only do you forgo your prize, you also do not get a refund.
In addition to cheating, doing unhealthy things in order to “game” the challenge is prohibited on HealthyWage and DietBet. Specific prohibited activities include deliberate weight gain (before, during, or after a HealthyWage challenge), starvation (defined as eating fewer calories each day than your doctor recommends), excessive exercise (defined as exercise that exceeds your doctor’s recommended amount of exercise, in terms of type, frequency and duration), water deprivation, unusual water consumption, self-induced vomiting, diuretics, laxatives, or any weight loss or weight gain plan that your doctor does or would advise against, or that, in HealthyWage’s sole and exclusive discretion, would be considered unhealthy or unfair by an ordinary person.
Conclusion
Not only is it difficult to cheat with HealthyWage and DietBet, there are potentially huge legal consequences in doing so.

With the possibility of winning up to $10,000 with the HealthyWager Challenge, participants don’t want to risk losing out on winning a huge cash prize, especially due to something as stupid as cheating.
