The purpose
Waking up early
changes everything.

It's the single most important action to change your day. And your life, one day at a time.

✓

Start the day with a win. Keeping the first promise you made yourself changes the course of everything that follows.

01

More energy

Mornings that are yours, with a clear head.

02

More confidence

Every morning you show up is a promise you keep to yourself.

03

More time

For what matters: your work, your family, your health.

04

Training

The gym before the day even starts.

The problem
Friction
isn't enough.

Alarm apps make them hard to turn off. But hard isn't enough.

And if you fail… nothing happensno consequence

You can always fail. Nothing to lose and nothing to gain.

The solution
Bet
on yourself.

A commitment to yourself, with real money on the line. Fail and you lose it. Show up and you split the pot with everyone who makes it.

If you fail−$0

Your entry goes to the pot. That's why you get up.

If you make it, up to+$0

The whole pot minus 10% if you're the last one standing. $180 with 1 players.

The pot depends on how many players join: each one adds $100. If several of you make it, it's split between you.

But what you really win isn't the money: it's the habit, and everything it changes.

Losing something weighs roughly twice as much as gaining it, what psychologists call loss aversion. Here you play with both at once.

The science
Psychologically designed
to get you up.

It doesn't depend on willpower. WakeUpBet combines five levers that already work on their own.

Reward

What makes us different: show up and you get paid. Effort pays off.

−
Loss aversion

Losing $100 hits harder than any alarm. That's why you get out of bed.

⚔
Competition

You wake up with a team that sees you. Nobody wants to be the ✕ of the day.

🔥
Streaks

Every morning counts. The longer the streak, the less you want to break it.

Game

A 21-day sprint with a scoreboard, eliminations and a finish line. Getting up becomes a game.

Our story
Two friends,
a WhatsApp chat
and $100 each.
Álvaro and Alejandro at the gym in the morningÁlvaroAlejandro

Gym

We're Álvaro and Alejandro. We set out to help each other build positive habits: building businesses, improving our finances, having more energy, going to the gym. It all started with the same thing: getting up early. And we were terrible at it.

We tried every alarm app out there. They added friction, but you could always fail and nothing happened. So we made a pact: $100 each via Revolut and a screenshot to each other every morning when we woke up.

WhatsApp chat between Álvaro and Alejandro

The chat where it all started

It worked. We, who could never get up and were constantly frustrated, started waking up early. And with the mornings came everything else.

That's how WakeUpBet was born: so you don't have to set it up yourself in a WhatsApp chat.

The difference
No app
made you bet on yourself.

How it works
Three rules.
1

Join before Monday

You pay $100. The pot grows with every player who joins.

2

Wake up at 7:00

Upload your screenshot before 7:15. 5 or 6 AM counts too; the server time is what matters.

3

Last 21 days

5 out of 7 days a week, with 2 lives every Monday to rest. Out of lives, you're out. Everyone who makes it to the end splits the pot.

Our vision · 2027
Imagine the
million-dollar challenge.

Today we start with the first sprint. Our dream: by 2027, 10,000 people each betting $100 on waking up early. A pot of

$0

Whatever happens, 10,000 lives change for the better.

0people by 2027 · the goal

Can you imagine sleeping through your alarm knowing you could win up to a million dollars?

It doesn't just change your life.
It changes the lives of those you care about.

Motivation is higher when you compete with friends. Invite one to the next sprint: every player who joins adds $100 to the pot.

FAQ
What you're
wondering.
Do I have to get up all 7 days?

No. It's 5 out of 7 days a week: every Monday you get 2 lives to rest whenever you want. We aim for a balance between discipline and enjoyment so the habit sticks.

What happens if I miss a day?

Open the app that same day and use a life: you're still in. If you're out of lives, or don't use it that day, you're out and your $100 goes to the pot.

How do I prove I'm awake?

Upload a screenshot from your phone before 7:15 your local time. The server time at upload is what counts.

When do I get paid?

When the 21 days are over, your share goes to your balance in the app. Use it for the next sprint or request a withdrawal: give us your Wise, PayPal or Revolut @ and we'll send it.

What if there aren't enough players on Monday?

Your $100 goes back to your balance in the app. Use it for the next sprint or request a withdrawal.

What if I wake up before 7:00?

Perfect! The target is the same for everyone, 7:00, but any screenshot uploaded before 7:15 counts. If you're up at 5 or 6, that counts too.

What if several people make it to the end?

The pot is split equally among everyone who reaches day 21. Example: 4 players, 2 fail and 2 make it. The pot is $400; WakeUpBet keeps 10% ($40) and the other $360 is split between the 2: $180 each.

What if we all make it?

Congratulations! The pot is split equally between everyone: WakeUpBet keeps its 10% and you each get $90 back.

Does WakeUpBet take a cut?

10% of every entry: $10 per player, no matter what. That also covers Stripe's fee, so you don't pay anything extra.
