Submission declined on 26 January 2024 by Sirdog ( talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Sirdog 5 months ago.

Submission declined on 26 December 2023 by Qcne ( talk). This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified.

• Comment: While promotional tone has been improved, there is still enough present where I am uncomfortable moving this to mainspace. Please review Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.
  1 example is "It specializes in creating app-based games that drive people to adopt healthier behaviors such as increasing physical activity, eating healthier, quitting smoking, and reducing stress." (emphasis mine)
  The gambling section is also out of place. Wikipedia would only mention whether or not WayBetter's games are considered gambling if reliable sources do so as well. Wikipedia would especially not go out of it's way to make the claim that WayBetter's games are not considered gambling, and cite studies to defend it. Wikipedia would cite sources that defend WayBetter's games, should they exist. — Sirdog ( talk) 05:39, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Unsourced sections, and promotional in tone. Qcne (talk) 21:07, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: Both references are not independent of the article subject. One is co-written by the CEO, and the other is the lead scientist. ARandomName123 ( talk)^{Ping me!} 21:24, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

WayBetter is a digital health company founded in 2010. The company creates app-based games that incorporate social support, financial incentives in the form of a deposit contract, and other gamification elements to motivate and sustain health-related behavior changes. ^{[1] [2]}

DietBet (2013): A game focused on weight loss, challenging players to lose a percentage of their body weight. ^{[3] [4] [5] [6]}

StepBet (2016): A game that seeks to increase users' daily steps through personalized step goals (sold in 2022). ^{[7] [8]}

RunBet (2018): A game designed to help participants form regular running habits. ^{[8] [9]}

QuitBet (2019): A cigarette smoking cessation game, currently being tested in a randomized clinical trial funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. ^[10]

WayBetter App (2020): A comprehensive platform that consolidates all previous games, offering challenges in fitness, nutrition, and mindset. ^[1]

The WayBetter App is currently sold on a subscription basis, at $11.50 per month, billed in six-month increments of $69. ^[11]

WayBetter’s games are designed to motivate behavior change through a combination of social interaction, financial incentives, and other gamification elements. The financial incentives are in the form of a “deposit contract” where participants have the option to pay a small sum of money upon joining a game, supporting their commitment to achieving health goals. ^{[12] [13]} Participants who complete all game requirements get a full refund of their deposit plus a profit. ^[4] The financial aspect is designed to enhance accountability and adherence to health goals. All games include a social feed for coach and peer support where game players and a game host can post and respond to messages and photos.
