Connect DawBets to Claude

Sportsbooks & integrations · Web app · Last updated October 5, 2026

Quick answer

Copy your connector URL from the connect page in DawBets, then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, add a custom connector with that URL and sign in with your DawBets account. It needs a DawBets account on any plan, Free included, and works on every Claude plan; on Team and Enterprise, an owner adds it for the organization first.

What the connector actually is

The DawBets connector hands Claude a set of DawBets tools it can call in the middle of an ordinary conversation. Ask "which of my books has the best price on this player prop" and Claude reads DawBets pre-game odds, fair prices and expected-value numbers to answer, without you leaving the chat. MCP — Model Context Protocol — is just the standard Claude uses to talk to outside services; the connector is DawBets on the other end of it.

It researches and explains, and — when you ask and confirm — it can act on your own DawBets account: log, correct, settle or remove a bet in your bet history, change your preferences, bet-alert settings and saved presets, create a public share link for a bet, and post ideas and feedback under your name. It cannot place a bet, sign in to a sportsbook, move money, or touch your plan — What the connector can see covers the boundary in full.

What you need first

A DawBets account. Every plan holds the connector, Free included; what a paid plan buys is a bigger weekly bet allowance, which the connector shares with the feed — see what’s included in each plan. Current prices are on the pricing page.
Any Claude plan. Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise all work. Claude Free allows only one custom connector in total, so adding DawBets there means giving up whatever custom connector you already have. On Team and Enterprise, an owner adds DawBets for the organization first, in Organization settings → Connectors, with the same name, URL and OAuth client as the steps below; you then click Connect beside it in Customize → Connectors and skip to signing in.
A browser. The setup happens in Claude on the web and on a DawBets web page.

Add it to Claude

1
Copy your connector URL
Open Connect in DawBets and press the copy button beside the URL. It is your DawBets address with /api/mcp on the end.
2
Open Claude’s connectors
In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors.
3
Add a custom connector
Click + Add, then Add custom connector. Name it DawBets and paste the URL you copied. If Claude asks for an OAuth client, choose Register automatically: the option Claude recommends does not work with DawBets. Then click Add.
4
Sign in and approve
Claude sends you to DawBets to sign in. Approve the request and you land back in Claude with DawBets listed as a connector.

The two things you approve

That approval screen asks two separate questions, and the connector will not answer anything until both are on file:

A 21+ age confirmation — you confirm you are of legal sports-betting age in your jurisdiction. One tick, once.
A data-access grant — the list of what the connector may read as you (odds and expected-value analytics, your tracked bets and settled record, your preferences, presets and bet-alert settings, your referral stats, your plan and allowance — never your bankroll or payment details), and what it may change when you ask: your bet history, your preferences, alerts and presets, a share link, and posts on the ideas board.

Both are versioned. If the age wording changes, or what the connector can reach is widened, everyone is asked again — as happened in September 2026, when the connector gained its account writes, so anyone who connected before then re-approves the Data access card once.

Asked again later? Do not remove the connector

If Claude says you need to confirm your age or approve access again, use the Age confirmation and Data access cards on the connect page, then retry your question. Claude’s approval screen cannot reappear for a connection that already exists, so deleting and re-adding the connector fixes nothing and costs you the setup.

Check that it worked

Start a new chat and ask something only DawBets can answer — "what are the biggest +EV edges on my books right now". Claude names the DawBets tool it calls before it answers.

Claude also lists four one-click DawBets starters in the menu next to its message box. Those, the questions that work best, and how saving your sportsbooks in Settings narrows the personalized answers are all in What to ask the AI connector.

On iOS: There is no connector setup screen in the iPhone app. Set it up in a browser — the sign-in and both approvals are recorded once, against your DawBets account.

If it will not connect

An OAuth or "authorization failed" error during setup usually means a stale authorization request left by a half-finished attempt, or an OAuth client other than Register automatically. Remove the connector in Customize → Connectors and add it again from scratch, starting the retry there rather than refreshing the page. Claude cannot change a connector’s sign-in settings once it is added, so removing it is the only fix for the second cause too.

Anything that goes wrong once you are connected — rate-limit messages, a used-up weekly allowance, a tool reporting it is not enabled yet — is covered in Connector limits and errors.

Bet responsibly

The connector returns computed pricing analytics, not advice: it does not pick bets for you and never suggests a wager size. Sports betting is 21+ and legal only in some states, and an edge is not income. If betting has stopped being fun, read our responsible-gambling resources.

Common questions

Do I need a paid Claude plan?

No. The connector works on Claude Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. Claude Free allows only one custom connector at a time, so adding DawBets means replacing whatever custom connector you already have there. On Team and Enterprise, an owner adds it for the organization first, and each member then connects with their own DawBets account.

Do I need a paid DawBets plan?

No — any plan works, Free included. The connector shares your weekly bet allowance with the feed, and when a week’s allowance is used up the tools that return bets refuse with a readable message instead of the connector disappearing; your account tools, tracking, the odds calculators, the betting-terms glossary, sportsbook coverage, state availability and plan information keep answering until the week resets.

Where do I find the connector URL?

On the connect page inside DawBets, at /connect. It is your DawBets address with /api/mcp on the end. Use the copy button beside it rather than typing it out.

Why is Claude asking me to confirm I am 21+?

It is a one-time legal-age confirmation, and no tool answers until it is on file. Tick it on Claude’s approval screen, or on the Age confirmation card on the connect page in DawBets, then retry in Claude.

Can Claude place bets for me?

No. It cannot place a wager, sign in to a sportsbook, move money, or touch billing. What it can write, when you ask and confirm, is your own DawBets record: logging a bet you already placed and correcting, settling or removing it there, plus your preferences, alert settings, presets, share links and ideas-board posts.
