PuttHole optional text alerts

PuttHole is an online mini golf game played with friends, directly owned and operated by Surf Analytics, LLC. Players with a PuttHole account can choose to get optional texts. Texts are never required to register, join, or play.

How to opt in

• Sign in and open "Your games", or tap "Text me when it’s my turn" in a Take Turns multiplayer lobby or waiting screen.
• In the "Optional text alerts" card, enter your own mobile number.
• Check the consent box (it starts unchecked), then tap the button.
• While texting is not yet live, the button reads "Save number": it stores your number and consent, sends nothing, and no alerts are sent.
• Once texting is live, the button reads "Send verification code": we text you a 6-digit code, and alerts start only after you enter it to confirm your number. If you already saved a number, you can request a code for it without entering the number again. You can resend a code after 30 seconds or change your number.

The consent box reads:

I agree to receive optional automated texts from PuttHole (Surf Analytics, LLC) at this number: game invitations from friends, reminders when it is my turn to play, and verification codes I request. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Texts are not required to register, join, or play. See our Terms and Privacy Policy.

The sign-up card

This preview uses the same fields and wording as the card players see in "Your games". The phone field and consent box start empty and unchecked, and alerts begin only after the player checks the box, taps the button, and confirms the code we text them.

Texting is currently live, so the button reads "Send verification code".

What we send

• Verification codes you request.
• Game invitations, when a PuttHole friend invites you to a round.
• A reminder only while it is your turn in Take Turns multiplayer, after 45 seconds without a putt. The timer starts when your turn begins, and each accepted putt resets it. This includes the first player, even with every browser closed. One early reminder per turn, plus one follow-up after 48 hours without a putt; none while waiting or after you finish that hole. The sender checks every minute, so a reminder may arrive 45–105 seconds after activity stops.
• Another player in your round can nudge you while it is your turn, after 15 minutes without a putt. All players share a limit of one nudge to you per round in 24 hours. Nudges use your existing verified text-alert opt-in and arrive through the same minute-by-minute sender.

Friends cannot add your number; we only text numbers that account holders add and confirm themselves. We never send marketing or promotional messages. Message frequency varies.
