Why are there games that you can't subscribe to ?

Post by Rusty Cohle »

Hello !

I was able to subscribe to Colt Express for example.. but I also would like to be notified of all RallymanGT live race for example..

Is it because Colt Express is not that popular ?

Thanks for the answer !

It is unclear what you mean by "subscribe to" a game. What steps did you take to "subscribe to" Colt Express?

I assume they mean the notification bell, which I believe is limited to games that take longer than 15 minutes to get going (and only for RT tables)?

Ah, they found a blind spot in a feature I never use.

This is not available to every game, just "less popular games". Hence my question.

Yeah, I almost never start games from that page (see my signature), so sorry for my ignorance.

To answer the question: the bell/alert/subscribe function was introduced to help find tables for less popular games. Popular games don't need that, just create a table or wait for one.
