Texts from
the Guild

What We Send

Gamer’s Guild Social Club sends transactional and event text messages to members who opt in: your table is ready or a table you were waiting on has opened; confirmation and changes to a reservation you made; invitations, confirmations, and day-of updates for club events; reminders about reservations and library loans if you turn those on; and occasional notes from club staff about your membership. Message frequency varies with how you use the club — a typical active member receives a handful of texts a month. We do not send marketing blasts, and we never text between 10 pm and 8 am Central except for a table or seat that is ready for you right now.

How You Opt In

Texts are off until you turn them on, and there are two places you can. On your account page, you enter your mobile number and tick the agreement. On the membership application, there is an optional box you may tick when you apply; it is unticked by default, and whether you tick it has no bearing on your application.

Either way, the statement you agree to is this: “By saving my number I agree to receive text messages from Gamer's Guild Social Club about my reservations, events, and membership. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel or HELP for help.” We record the date, the number, and the exact wording you agreed to.

We do not text applicants. If you ticked the box when you applied, nothing is sent then. Once you are a member and sign in, your account page shows you what you asked for, with the number you gave, and you confirm it there before a single message goes out. If you never confirm it, we never text you, and the request lapses after a year.

How You Stop

Reply STOP to any message and you will receive one confirmation text and nothing further. You can also switch texts off on your account page. To start again, reply START or re-save your number in your account. Reply HELP for contact information.

Cost

We do not charge for text messages. Your carrier’s standard message and data rates may apply. Texting is not required to be a member or to use any club feature — every notification we send by text is also available on the website and, where you’ve enabled it, by email or app notification.

Your Number, Your Privacy

Your mobile number is used to send you the messages described here and to identify you when you reply.

Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. Our messaging provider processes messages on our behalf and is bound to use your number only to deliver them. Our full Privacy Policy explains what else we collect and how we use it.

Carriers
