How DawBets notifies you

The three channels

Nothing DawBets sends is a prediction about who wins. A bet alert tells you a price moved; an email tells you something happened to your account.

Push is the apps, not your browser

If you use DawBets on a laptop, there is no notification switch to find. The Push Notifications card on Settings is badged Coming Soon and has no toggle, no browser permission prompt exists anywhere in the app, and nothing on the server sends a browser push on a schedule. Push today means the iPhone and Android apps, and only the apps.

Bet alerts and settlement notifications

The push types behave very differently, on purpose. A bet alert fires when a pre-game price moves into positive expected value that clears the rules you set. (Expected value, or EV, is the gap between your sportsbook’s price and the fair price DawBets works out from the wider market — see Expected value and fair price.)

• ●Bet alerts for a Strong Bet or better are sent time-sensitive, so they can break through Focus and Do Not Disturb; a weaker edge, if your minimum allows one, arrives as an ordinary notification. Each run sends one — the strongest qualifying bet — and counts the rest on its last line. How bet alerts are chosen is the full account of what fires one.
• ●Settlement notifications are quiet reports on bets you already tracked, sent individually or as one roundup when several settle together. They use the normal alert level and respect silence — see Settlement notifications.

Quiet hours treat the two differently too: a bet alert inside your window is discarded, while a settlement is held and delivered once the window ends. Quiet hours and daily alert limits covers that and the daily cap on alerts.

Product news, if you ask for it

Product news is the one push you have to turn on: new DawBets features and announcements, at most once a week. It stays off until you switch on Product news under Settings → Alerts → Notifications in the iPhone app, or tap Turn on when What’s new offers it, and it needs the Notifications master switch on too. It lands quietly in Notification Center, with no sound and without lighting up your screen, and it carries no bets, so it never counts against your weekly allowance or your daily alert limit.

It skips news you have already seen in What’s new, and a feature you asked for on the board. News that falls in your quiet hours waits until they end, as long as that is within a day of when it went out.

Who gets what

Bet alerts and settlement notifications go to every plan, Free included. Each bet a bet alert carries counts once against your weekly bet allowance, at the moment it is sent, so an account whose week is used up receives no new bet alerts until the week resets; settlement notifications never count. Account email and in-app banners reach every account regardless of plan.

Once a week at most, when you have seen most of your weekly bets, DawBets sends a heads-up: an email with how many are left and the day the count resets, and on iPhone a push with how many you have seen and the day it resets. The push waits for daytime where you are and for your quiet hours to end, it is controlled by the Notifications master switch, and it never uses up your daily alert limit. Max has no weekly limit, so a Max account never gets either, and a Free account gets neither while it can still earn its one-time extra room: a new account in its first week, or an account from before the weekly allowance that has not earned it yet.

Where the controls live

Setting them up, in order, including what to do if you tapped Don’t Allow on the iOS prompt: Turn on notifications on iPhone. If they are on and nothing arrives, Not getting bet alerts is the checklist.

Banners inside the app

The strip above the app carries one billing banner at a time, in priority order: a failed payment first, then a usage notice as the week’s allowance runs low, then a cancellation grace period. That band is on both the web and the iPhone app. Product announcements are separate: on the web they appear below the header, targeted by plan and by the sportsbooks you follow, each with a close control, and each new feature among them stays listed in What’s new, which the iPhone app has under Settings → What’s new. The iPhone app announcement is a card rather than a line of text: Apple’s badge on an iPhone, a QR code and an “Email me the link” button on a computer.

Email

Billing email is triggered by events, not a schedule — receipts, declined cards, cancellations and plan changes. The annual-renewal reminder lands in the morning in your account’s timezone, and every email only ever goes to an address that was confirmed at signup. Emails DawBets sends you is the full list; Unsubscribe from DawBets emails covers what you can switch off.
