StepBet pairs with your fitness tracker or other health apps to establish step goals based on your current activity levels. You can browse the app’s games and place bets on your activities and goals. If you meet your goals, you’ll win a little more money than you initially contributed.
While more money in the bank makes for great motivation, always remember to listen to your body and take it easy when you need to. Walking for rewards simply isn’t worth an injury.
