Partsman41953: I am trying to see if anyone knows how to shut off email notifications
Try going to your account. Right under your name in the upper left of this screen.
Right under Buy Credits is Contact Info with a green change option. I've never received any email notifications from WGT. Even though my Email is in there, the name blocks are blank. So, I'd try just blanking the name. That way, WGT has your Email Addr, but the notifications are turned off.
Oddly, I've only gotten emails about messages on forums from my CC. I've figured out how to stop those. When I post something, I go to the options tab and uncheck the notify box. That's where it is on those forums, unlike the main which has the box below. Why different? No clue.
This will turn off all notifications you would get for having won a few credits in a tourney, but that's pretty easy to keep up with by just watching Total Credits.
I'd be interested to know whether this works or not. It could be some other aspect of my profile that keeps the notifications away.
