🔔 Follow teams & players

Follow the teams and players you care about and the bot DMs you about them: scoring plays and injury updates for everyone, and with ✦ Personal Premium the news, line moves, win-probability swings and a morning brief.

How do I follow a team or player on SportDataIQ?

Run /follow player or /follow team in any server with SportDataIQ, or add them on your dashboard’s Follows page: up to 5 teams and 15 players per person. Scoring DMs and injury-report updates are free; ✦ Personal Premium adds player news, line moves, win-probability swings and a morning brief.

Follow in Discord

In any server with SportDataIQ. Replies are only visible to you, and the follow belongs to your Discord account, not the server.

/follow playerPick the league (NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB or NHL), then start typing a name and pick from the suggestions.
/follow teamPick the league (the same five, plus college football), then the team.
/followingEverything you follow, with a remove button next to each one.
/unfollowRemoves one follow; the option autocompletes from your own list.

Follow on the dashboard

Sign in with Discord and open Follows under your own dashboard (My Premium): pick Team or Player and the league, then a team from the list or a player by name. The same list as /following: a change in one place shows in the other. College football: teams only.

Limits

  • 5 teams and 15 players per person, on every plan. Remove one to add another.
  • Scoring DMs: one DM per scoring play, however many of your follows it matches.
  • ✦ News about your players: up to 10 a day (Eastern time). ✦ Line-move and win-probability DMs: up to 25 a day between them. Both reset at midnight ET.

What you get, free

🔔 Scoring DMsA private DM when a player you follow scores, or your team does: touchdowns, goals and home runs; for the NBA and WNBA, the first points of a game and every made three.
🩹 Injury-report updatesWhen a player you follow changes status on their team’s injury report (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL), you get a DM.

Follows track the same plays as channel alert rules (touchdowns, goals and home runs; for the NBA and WNBA, the first points of a game and every made three); there is no every-basket feed. Team follows get scoring plays, not injury updates. A free scoring DM can carry a short sponsor line.

What ✦ Personal Premium adds

📰 Player newsBig news about a player you follow (injury, trade, signing…) from ✦ News Central, by DM the moment it breaks. Off until you turn it on; rumors are a second switch. Up to 10 a day.
⚡ Line moves & win probabilitySteam on your teams’ games (many books moving a line the same way at once) in the 6 hours before they start, and a DM when your team’s live win chance drops below 25%. Up to 25 live DMs a day.
☀️ Morning briefAt 10 AM ET on the days your teams play: each game’s best prices, the injury news and one number worth knowing. By DM, email or both.
✅ After the finalHow each player you follow did against the closing lines, and every follow DM without sponsor lines.
Note
A follow made in a server with Premium also gets the after-the-final DM and no sponsor lines. The news, line-move, win-probability and morning-brief DMs are ✦ Personal Premium's: a server's Premium doesn't send them to members. Market data, not betting advice · 21+ where legal · 1-800-GAMBLER.

How to stop a DM

Scoring and injury DMsUnfollow: /unfollow, the remove button in /following, or Unfollow on the dashboard's Follows page.
✦ News about your playersIn /mypremium → DM alerts (or the dashboard's DM alerts page), switch off News about players I follow; Include rumors is its own switch. It is off until you turn it on.
✦ Steam and win probabilityThe same screen: Steam and Win probability are a switch each. Unfollowing a team stops both for its games.
✦ Morning briefIn /mypremium → My settings → Morning brief & report card, or on the dashboard's Morning brief page, set Delivery to Off. Or tap the brief DM's own Turn off brief (or Stop DM brief) button, or the email's one-click Stop brief emails link.
Not getting DMs at all?Run /dms: it sends you a test message and, if Discord blocks it, tells you which switch to turn on (Server → Privacy Settings → Allow direct messages). The dashboard's DM alerts page has a Send a test DM button.

FAQ

Is following free?
Yes. Anyone can follow up to 5 teams and 15 players and get a DM when they score, plus injury-report updates for the players. ✦ Personal Premium adds the news, line-move, win-probability and morning-brief DMs.
Does the server need Premium?
No. Follows belong to your Discord account, not a server, and need no alert rule or admin. Run /follow in any server the bot is in; the scoring and injury DMs are the same wherever you followed from; a follow made in a Premium server also gets the after-the-final DM and no sponsor lines.
Why didn’t I get a DM?
Discord only lets the bot DM you when your privacy settings allow it. Run /dms: it sends you a test message and, if Discord blocks it, says which switch to turn on (Allow direct messages for a server you share with the bot). The dashboard’s DM alerts page has a Send a test DM button too.
Can I follow college players?
College football: teams only. /follow team covers college football; /follow player covers the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB and NHL. Soccer goals post to channel alert rules, not follows.
How many news DMs will I get?
Only news about the players you follow, only after you turn it on, and at most 10 a day (Eastern time). The same news never comes twice in a day, even when several outlets report it. Rumors only come if you switch them on too.
Why is my morning brief not coming?
The brief is built from the teams you follow and only goes out on days they play. If you follow players but no teams, there is nothing to brief: follow a team with /follow team or on the dashboard.
