How it works
Prices. One monthly price for everything you pick: a flat amount for the service, plus the texts your picks mean in an average month of the season. That's about 3 to 4 UFC cards (1 of them numbered), 4 matches for each Premier League team, 14 games for each NBA team and 4 games for each rugby league team, times the number of texts you want before each one. So adding a sport, a team or a text costs only a little more. Prices include GST. Some examples, a month:
| 1 text a game | 2 texts a game | 3 texts a game | |
|---|---|---|---|
| UFC, every card | $4.50 | $5 | $5.50 |
| Premier League, 1 team | $4.50 | $5 | $5.50 |
| Premier League, 3 teams | $5.50 | $7 | $8.50 |
| NBA, 1 team | $6 | $7.50 | $9 |
| Rugby league, 1 team | $4.50 | $5 | $5.50 |
| UFC and 1 Premier League team | $5 | $6 | $7 |
| All three: UFC, 1 Premier League and 1 NBA team | $6.50 | $9 | $12 |
Billing. Charged to your card each month from the day you sign up. Change sports, teams or times any time on the manage page, and the next bill is adjusted for the part month. Billing runs all year, so between seasons you can cancel and sign up again when your sport is back.
Cancelling. Cancel on the manage page and your texts carry on to the end of the month you've paid for. Reply STOP to any alert and the texts and the subscription end straight away. There are no refunds for part months.
Times change. Leagues move games for TV and fight cards run early or late. Each text has the start time as it stands when the text goes, so if a game moves after your 1-week text, the next one has the new time. UFC texts are timed to the main card.
Delivery. Texts go out within a few minutes of the time you picked, over New Zealand mobile networks. They almost always arrive within a minute, but no network can promise that. New Zealand mobile numbers only.
Your number. We use it only for these alerts and your log-in codes. Never for marketing, and never sold or shared. See the privacy page.
Independent. NZ Game Time isn't affiliated with the UFC, the Premier League, the NBA or any club. Questions: hello@nzgametime.co.nz.
