Is Competing in a Challenge Gambling?

While we refer to the entry fee for a Challenge as a “bet”, we do not consider it to be gambling. There is a lot of scientific research that shows that incentives and penalties can be a great way to motivate people to get more exercise. A Paidtogo Challenge is both a “carrot” and a “stick”, both of which can be motivating to improve positive behaviors. The carrot is the potential earnings from winning a Challenge and the stick is losing your entry fee if you don’t hit your step goals. Further, gambling is usually based on luck, whereas our model allows anyone to win that puts in the steps.

How Do I Get Paid?

You get paid out via Paypal. There are two payment programs with different payout timelines.

1. Purchasing payouts with PTG Coins you’ve earned. Payouts come at the beginning of the 2nd month following a payout. Ex. If you purchase a payout in January you will receive it in early March.

2. Payouts from winning a Challenge occur automatically around 1-2 weeks after then end of the Challenge.

yes if Apple Health records it as a step we will count it. Steps manually added will not be counted.

How Do I Enter A Challenge?

Select a Challenge that your a qualified to enter based on your steps history and connect your Paypal. Pay the entry fee. Continue walking and running as normal and recording your data by syncing with Apple Health. Hit the step goal in the time frame allotted in the Challenge rules and you are a winner.

What is the Step Cap in Challenges?

The step cap is the daily maximum of steps that will count towards your Challenge goal. We believe that steady and consistent exercise over time is the most beneficial way to change behavior and health goals. Rather than rushing to get all your steps in at the last moment, we want our members to pace themselves and spread their steps throughout the Challenge period. This also helps to prevent any fraudulent activity that may add large amounts of steps for a user in a short time period.
