Program Description
The Players Alliance sends SMS text messages to individuals who have opted in to receive them.

Consent to Receive Messages
By providing your mobile phone number and affirmatively opting in through an applicable form or other approved method, you agree to receive the SMS communications described at the point of consent.

Opting Out
Reply STOP to opt out of SMS messages at any time. After you opt out, you will receive a confirmation message, and you will no longer receive messages through that SMS program unless you opt in again.
