Rating not changing

My Daily rating no longer changes after each match -- no, my matches go to completion and do not abort within a few moves. How do you determine whether a completed game was rated or unrated? If figured this out a few weeks ago, but it's so unintuitive I can't find again. Why isn't it under Details? Why is the new help bot so poor?
I suspect I (unwittingly) accepted invitation to an unrateed match, and since then all my challenges have been unrated.

Your last three completed games were unrated. Two were against the same player so maybe they challenged you? The two prior to that were rated but your opponents were too low rated to provide an increase.

Your current game you're playing is rated but the rating difference might end up with no o rating gain if you win. I'm not sure what difference doesn't give an increase on a win.

Thank you. How did you determine whether games were rated, and why is it simply not listed under details? AH HA! You have to access the completed game itself, Info tab, scroll. There is no to tell via Review or Analysis. Absurdistan. Thanks again!

What is the maximum ELO difference allowed for a rated match?

Good question. I think it is around 400.

On the website it lists rated/unrated under details/info.

As to the rating difference, I'm not certain, though it's more than 400 and maybe closer to 6-700. However, the game will still result in a rating change if the higher rated player losses or draws.

Ye I get a point for beating a 900, so my 1100 foe should be rated by default. Only thing I can think is I was challenged by a different player unrated, then I challenged next game unrated, then I challenged my regular 1100 nemesis and it defaulted to unrated. Curious.
