## What is TextBets?

Pay your friends if you don't stick with your goals

HOW IT WORKS

Pick a goal: gym, early wake-up, or less screen time.
Stake $5 or $10 (or go free) and send it to the iMessage group chat
Prove yourself with a photo before the deadline
If you don't post, your friends can claim your stake

GOING SOLO?

Set a challenge in the app on its own. Miss it and the stake goes to TextBets instead. The app tells you before you start.

MAKE IT A HABIT

Repeat a challenge every day, or go flexible: "5 times in 7 days" with a couple of free skips. Every day shows up in the chat and in the app, and reminders keep you from forgetting your photo.
