Everyone on the global leaderboard who reaches the weekly step minimum shares the prize pot, up to the best 100 places. The higher your place, the bigger your share.

You rank by steps and nothing else. YOUR WALLET Shares pile up in your wallet and every prize and payout is listed in your history. When you are ready, cash in and choose how to receive it, for example a gift card or a prepaid Visa (options vary by country). FAIR PLAY Results are checked so that everyone competes on the same terms. If your steps are ever reviewed, you can send your step data right from the app with Verify my steps. COMPETE WITH FRIENDS AND GROUPS Create or join a group with a simple invite code. See who is ahead on the group leaderboard, post a quick status and keep each other moving.
