Quiet hours and daily alert limits
Notifications & alerts · iOS app · Last updated August 28, 2026
Quick answer
Quiet hours silence DawBets between the two times you pick, in your phone’s time zone. Bet alerts that fall inside the window are thrown away rather than saved for later, because the price is gone by morning; settlement notifications are held and arrive as one roundup when the window ends. Separately, a daily cap limits how many bet alerts you can get in a day.
Set a quiet-hours window
Quiet hours live in the iPhone app under Settings → Alerts → Notifications. Every plan can use them — this is not a paid setting.
- 1
Open Settings → Alerts → Notifications
The Quiet hours section sits below the master Notifications switch. It appears once you have answered the iOS permission prompt, whichever way you answered.
- 2
Turn on Quiet hours
Start and End pickers appear underneath it. Turning the toggle off clears the saved window; turning it back on restores the times you last used, or 11:00 PM to 8:00 AM if the app has been relaunched since.

Pick a Start and an End
A window that crosses midnight is read as one overnight block, so 11:00 PM to 8:00 AM works exactly as you would expect. Setting Start and End to the same time is treated as no window at all.
Travel does not move your window
DawBets stamps your device’s time zone when you turn quiet hours on or edit a time. Move two zones over and the window still fires on the old clock — re-pick a time to stamp the new zone.
What quiet hours actually silence
The two kinds of notification are treated differently on purpose, and this is the part people are surprised by:
| Notification | Inside your quiet window |
|---|---|
| High-EV bet alert | Discarded. It is never delivered — not then, not later. |
| Settlement notification | Held, then delivered as a single roundup once the window ends. |
| Daily Slate Lock Screen card | Unaffected. It is a Live Activity, not a notification, so nothing buzzes anyway. |
A bet alert is perishable: it fires on a price that has just moved, and by breakfast that price is usually gone. Delivering it seven hours late would send you chasing a line that no longer exists. A settled bet is permanently true, so it is worth keeping. See How bet alerts are chosen for what makes one fire at all.
Heads up
Alerts skipped for quiet hours are not queued, counted or replayed. If overnight and early-morning markets matter to you, shorten the window rather than expecting a catch-up.
The morning roundup
Once your window ends, everything that settled overnight arrives as one notification within a few minutes — the count, your net result, the won-lost record behind it, and the biggest result named. If exactly one bet settled you get that single result instead. Settlement notifications reads both formats line by line.
Tapping either opens My Bets with the overnight bets surfaced, listed individually. The held roundup is not guaranteed: your plan and switches are re-checked when the queue is flushed, so a subscription that lapsed overnight, or Settlement notifications turned off before the window ended, means it is dropped rather than sent.
The daily alert cap
The cap is under Settings → Alerts → Bet alerts → Bet alert rules, in the Daily cap section, on the Daily alert cap row. It starts at 15 and can be set anywhere from 1 to 50. It counts bet alerts only, per calendar day, and once you hit it nothing more arrives until the day rolls over.
These never charge against it: settlement notifications and morning roundups, the trial-ending reminder, and the Send test notification button. Neither does an alert that was skipped for quiet hours.
Which midnight the cap resets at
The count rolls over at midnight in the time zone your quiet hours were saved with. If you have never turned quiet hours on, DawBets has no zone stamped for you and falls back to UTC — so the cap resets in the afternoon or evening where you live, not overnight. Setting a window once fixes it, and the zone survives turning the window back off.
Getting fewer interruptions without losing the good bets
Raise Minimum EV on the Bet alert rules screen before you lower the cap. The two look interchangeable and are not: the cap is spent first-come, first-served, so a low one is used up by whatever qualified earliest and silences the rest of the day regardless of quality. A higher Minimum EV keeps the day open and raises the bar every alert must clear. The same screen narrows which sportsbooks, leagues, markets, teams and odds qualify.
One more reason the cap is rarely the problem: each alert run sends at most one bet alert — the strongest bet — with any others counted as · N more on the last line. Nobody gets a burst of twelve.
Bet responsibly
If alerts are pulling you into bets you did not plan to make, turning them off entirely is a perfectly good setting — the feed will still be there when you want it. Sports betting is 21+ and legal only in some states, an edge is not income, and help is available if betting has stopped being fun.
Turning everything off for a while
The Notifications switch on Settings → Alerts → Notifications is the account-level master. With it off, nothing reaches any of your devices — no bet alerts, no settlements, no trial reminder — and your rules, filters and quiet hours stay saved for when you turn it back on.
On iOS: The iOS switch is a separate, outer gate. Turning DawBets off in iOS Settings → DawBets → Notifications blocks delivery at the operating system, and iOS only asks for permission once, so a denial has to be undone there rather than in the app. See Not getting bet alerts.
On the web: There are no quiet hours, no daily cap and no push notifications on the web yet: the Push Notifications card in Settings is marked Coming Soon, and your browser never asks for permission.
Common questions
Do I get missed bet alerts after quiet hours end?
No. Bet alerts inside your quiet window are dropped, because a price that moved hours ago is gone. Settlement notifications are the ones that are held and delivered as a single roundup.
Do settlement notifications use up my daily alert cap?
No. The cap counts bet alerts only. Settlement notifications, morning roundups, the trial-ending reminder and the test notification all arrive regardless of how much of the cap you have spent.
Alerts arrive all morning and then stop. Why?
You have almost certainly hit the daily cap, which suppresses further bet alerts until the day rolls over. Raise it on the Bet alert rules screen, or raise Minimum EV so the cap is spent on stronger bets.
How do I stop DawBets notifications at night?
Settings → Alerts → Notifications, turn on Quiet hours, and set a Start and End. Overnight windows that cross midnight are supported. To silence everything indefinitely instead, use the Notifications master switch on the same screen.
Can I set quiet hours from my laptop?
No. Quiet hours and the daily cap are settings on the iPhone app, because push notifications themselves are iPhone-only right now. The web Settings page shows Push Notifications as Coming Soon.
