SMS Opt-In & Consent

Published: January 28, 2026

This page describes the opt-in workflow used by VisBets for promotional messages and phone-number based account verification. It is intended to provide proof of consent for messaging providers and regulators.

How Users Opt In

  1. User visits the VisBets website or mobile app and requests private testing access by submitting their email and optionally a phone number via the private testing form.
  2. If the user provides a phone number, they are presented with a clear consent checkbox and confirmation text describing message types (account verification, testing invitations, occasional promotional messages) before the phone number is submitted.
  3. After submission, the user receives an initial SMS containing a short confirmation message and instructions to reply STOP to opt out.
  4. All opt-ins are logged with timestamp, IP address (where available), and the exact consent text accepted by the user.
Consent text shown to users (exact):

I agree to receive SMS messages from VisBets at the phone number I provide for account verification, private testing invitations, and occasional product updates. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe.
