Exactly, it's really annoying because if your game is interrupted just because of the loss of internet connection, it will really ruin your gaming mood and it can even cause you to lose focus on gambling. It's valid what you feel and we can't stop blaming others but at the end of the day, we know what really happened and we have to accept that the chance to win might not be in our favor, it's more fun to gamble without any grudge in our heart, let's just think that next time we will be the ones who will experience victory.
Internet connection glitches is something we can't take out when gambling as it will definitely happen in one way or the other so it's left with the gamblers to understand this and be mindful of it so they don't get to fall victims of the situations or circumstances that comes with these things happening, sometimes it could be that the casino could have a slow time in their server and not from your end but you can't still blame anyone but to just bare the loss and hope to recover with another win but if it turns out you win then you celebrate your win because there are times when this could also turn out to be in your favour.

Don't have grudge in your mind when gambling because your thinking and ability to process well will be definitely affected and you may not be able to make proper gambling decisions and that may also affect your chances of winning too because you aren't gambling with the right mindset enough to create that edge you will need to be able to win the game but then if you are gambling with the right mind you may be able to put all this in place for yourself.
Listen up, the internet sometimes goes down. It's how things work when you gamble or do anything else online. It is unrealistic to expect a perfect experience. How you handle the glitch is what really matters. Server gone down? Drops the connection? That's the field, where you learn to change and increase your intelligence

Keeping your anger in? That is a waste of energy. Your mind should be very sharp because it is your most valuable tool. Pay attention to your plan, the big picture, and why you're playing. It's not about luck, it's about timing. It's about how you handle the cards you're given, even if the tech slides one in your direction

I would blame the internet for that but it would be unfair if you are not blamed for it as well Grin.

If you already knew that the internet connectivity was causing problems throughout the countries and the neighbouring countries, you should have double-checked before trying to place the bet again,

This is exactly what I’m thinking. Why he risk on still betting while there’s no decent internet connection that makes him place a bet smoothly. I will definitely not gonna place any bet when the website is not loading properly because there’s a chance of placing multiple bet just like what happened to him because you can’t check properly your bet history if the casino is not loading completely due to internet connection.

Actually I’m surprised that he still managed to place bet because sportsbook of the casino is the most heavy to load when browsing with weak internet connection due to the odds that update real time. And yeah, checking the active bet slip is the best thing to do when you are not confident on your bet made since cashout is possible option if ever this happened to you despite of minimal losses.

It happened to me yesterday, we are facing huge internet challenge that have disrupted various activities including those of big multinationals, banking and mobile phone operators. It is a total mess in my country right now and some other neighboring countries are not exempted. The internet connection is fluctuating haphazardly and very weak. Yesterday while placing my bet, I typed the amount and sent, then the network was frozen for a while as if it was not responding so I had to send it multiple times with getting the confirmation of bet being placed successfully. It was after the internet became a little stable I noticed that I had placed the same bet several times even to the point of exhausting my account balance. Unfortunately, one match cut the bet, that was how I lost my entire asset. It was painful but I had to accept it that way.
I would blame the internet for that but it would be unfair if you are not blamed for it as well Grin.

If you already knew that the internet connectivity was causing problems throughout the countries and the neighbouring countries, you should have double-checked before trying to place the bet again, it is your mistake if the bet was placed multiple times because you should have waited for a few minutes for the internet to become stable and then you should have checked whether the bet has been placed or not.

Well, hard luck, and I feel sorry for your loss. This will at least teach you a lesson that you shouldn't do things that involve finances when you have an unstable internet connection.

It's only in our nature to blame things around us when we are losing, be it gambling, playing a video game, etc... When playing online gambling, we rely too much in our internet, so this is the ones who will mainly got blamed when we lose our bet and then it co-incidentally get slower or disconnected. You already checked the fairness and it was still the same, so the internet connection didn't bring a negative impact in our game.

All our what if's and thoughts are only in our head, but apart from being negative when that moment occurs, I remember I also feel positive one time. It's when I'm losing and the internet turned bad suddenly, which delays the animation in my screen but eventually wins are coming out like crazy and that resulted me to recover and win some more. It was a wild experience though.

In any case though, if gamblers are not aware, The Next Casualty of the Red Sea Attacks: Undersea Cables

Quote
On December 24th, 2023, a Telegram channel linked to the Houthis published a map showing the networks of submarine communications cables in the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Persian Gulf. The image was accompanied by an ominous message: “There are maps of international cables connecting all regions of the world through the sea. It seems that Yemen is in a strategic location, as internet lines that connect entire continents — not only countries—pass near it.”

https://gulfif.org/the-next-casualty-of-the-red-sea-attacks-undersea-cables/

So most likely this could be the case that sometimes we see some internet disruptions in the last couple of weeks as it is under attack by some rebels or terrorist. So it's not just gamblers that are affected, most likely everyone around the world has felt the effect.

Have you guys experienced any loss/win out of the issue with internet connectivity. I've mentioned about wins/losses, but mostly people get affected negatively when there is connectivity issues. I personally believe that the internet connection is also a reason with our gambling wins. Here it is about casino games and not sports betting.

Most of the time I gamble using the mobile device. The connectivity speed varies between locations and I've encountered with the rolls taking more time as well as the the rollers moving within the bar with sudden visibility. When I check the provably fair functioning, it does right. But, my mind has a thinking our loss is due to the internet connection.

Does any of you have similar experience or thinking.

To avoid such problems I usually use a ping command to test whether or not the gambling site is reachable at the moment and what is response time from the server relevant to this site.

First I go to ipvoid site to find IP relevant to the site,  then apply ping command in Ubuntu console, getting  something like this

Quote from: satscraper

I refrain  from   gambling  on the site   if time > 50.0  ms

If something like this happened to us, what are we going to do, because same thing could be the reason that could have saved us from loosing if the situation happens to favour us, we cannot blame the internet sometimes because this has a lot to do with the location we found ourselves in, there are also some unforseen situations that warrants the challenges we pass through with the use of the internet, all these are sometimes inevitable for us to avoid.

Fix your internet connection problem.

I have never face such a problem before and even if I have, the blame is on my internet provider not the online casino.

Like right now I haven't gambled for a while, because there is a problem with the internet in my country and it affected some other countries nearby too, it has to do with internet cable under the sea, I guest it got lose or damaged, for two weeks now the speed have been so bad.

Imagine now going to an online casino and deciding to start gambling, what type of result should I be expecting? A flawless one? So dear, make sure you have a good internet connection before you start to gamble.

One of the minor reasons of destroying our momentum in playing but I can't say it is the main reason why we lose in gambling because sometimes even if our internet connectivity is good, we rarely win. It's valid that we will regret it, but you don't need to blame everything on the internet unless you're sure that you're going to win, like you need to confirm an amount and then suddenly the internet goes crazy, such sample scenarios, but if you're in the middle of the game and suddenly there's of the problem, you can't blame the connectivity because you're still not sure that you're really a winner.

Yes, what you said is also true that we do not need to be too excessive in blaming something that is not really the cause as well as interference with the internet connection, because after all we never know about the actual results at the end of the session whether we will actually win or not, one of the reasons is because gambling is nothing more than a probability activity which means that maybe you will win but maybe you will lose at the end of the session, of course it can never be known even if you are very skilled.

This means that we have to go back to the original understanding and understanding of the basis of gambling which is always about uncertainty as to the outcome at the end of the session, I understand that having an internet outage when you are gambling is quite an annoying situation but on the other hand you don't need to be too disappointed and regret it because you don't know the end result, and I would say that disappointment and or excessive annoyance at something like internet interference is normal if you are basically at the end of the session where you see that it turns out that if there is no internet interference then you can win the game, but if the result turns out to be a loss then I think you don't need to be too excessive in blaming other things because even if such coincidental interference does not occur it is not certain that you can win.

Exactly, it's really annoying because if your game is interrupted just because of the loss of internet connection, it will really ruin your gaming mood and it can even cause you to lose focus on gambling. It's valid what you feel and we can't stop blaming others but at the end of the day, we know what really happened and we have to accept that the chance to win might not be in our favor, it's more fun to gamble without any grudge in our heart, let's just think that next time we will be the ones who will experience victory.

Yes, I had these problems often when playing on my phone, so I stopped and chose a stationary PC, and eventually using a phone, but only when connected to a wifi network. 3g or 5g connections are too unreliable to be doing any of the important stuff, even sending transactions through blockchain can sometimes be a pain.
Are you sure this is not related to your ISP? While latency is quite high compared to cable networks, you should never get timed out multiple times within a minute. It can also happen because of your DNS server, so it might be worth changing and seeing if there's any difference. I use mobile networks when I travel quite often, while it is terrible in remote areas, as long as I get decent coverage it works fine to regularly upload data to the cloud. I'm surprised there's a night and day different between cable and mobile if you don't move from your location, sounds like your mobile provider has no network tower in your area if the connection is really that bad.

On PC I had issues with playing cards because at a poker table you have to make a move, you can't sit passively, or you'll get booted. I'm sure you all know that when another draw starts you're supposed to bet or fold and doing nothing means folding, so you can have good cards and get disconnected and you fold without having a chance to put your cards on the table. If you happen to have a lot of money already on the table that can hurt.

An internet connection that often crashes, of course this is one of the most annoying activities in the world of gambling, I have experienced this, where when I bet there is a clear chance of winning in front of my eyes, on the contrary, the expected win is actually the loss that I feel, winning, the worst situation is that the internet is stuck.

I've also experienced this when I was playing crashes because some of the connections were not very stable, so I failed to exit when I had enough profit and it turned into an accepted defeat.

But indeed for internet connection problems, problems only occur for some games such as slots, live games such as poker or some other games that require a stable connection such as crashes like the one I played which made the chances that were actually good actually turned into losses.
But in other conditions in indirect games like sportsbook I don't think it's too annoying because after all in some reasons sometimes we wait more so it won't be too influential even if the connection is not too stable.

I will say this worked in my favour but would have been a different feeling for me if the game played. Even though it didn't play, when I couldn't stake the game because of internet connectivity I reasoned what the potential winning would do for me and wasn't happy. So, things can work in our favour sometimes and against our favour other times. It is proper to embrace every situation.

In some cases, when a problem in the internet occurs while a bettor is currently active on betting, can be realized later on as a blessing and a good thing it happened. If the internet didn't crash at the point they are about to hit that BET button, they might end up wrecking the whole bankroll.

Generally, the response of bettors depends on the match result that they are supposed to place a bet.

Internet crashes while betting might angered others because of the missed opportunity in case of a win but on the other hand, it also saved others from losing their money, at least. But in today's internet status, it's a rare case now for the internet to suddenly crash a bit while actively betting.

Internet connectivity has prevented me from losing in gambling. Recently, after making predictions I was about to place the bet but the internet connectivity was bad so I couldn't stake. Initially, I was very angry that I didn't place the game. The game appeared sure which is so normal for every game. I also didn't follow up the game since I didn't stake the game but then I washed one of the games and the outcome was different from what I predicted. What made me angry became a blessing in disguise because the game didn't play and so I became happy.

I will say this worked in my favour but would have been a different feeling for me if the game played. Even though it didn't play, when I couldn't stake the game because of internet connectivity I reasoned what the potential winning would do for me and wasn't happy. So, things can work in our favour sometimes and against our favour other times. It is proper to embrace every situation.

So since things like this have happened to the internet connection, up to now I have had to install a private WiFi for myself, which guarantees a safe and smooth connection. Since then I have never been stuck gambling again, I can play as freely as possible to bet.

I have actually played some casino games in the past and while playing, I encountered network connection issues, sometime, the game returns back announcing a small win, while the other times, it comes back announcing a loss after the internet connection is restored.

But over all, I will not agree with our wins and losses has anything to do with how strong or weak our internet connection is, the only thing I see with slow or unstable internet connection is that, our gambling experience will be greatly affected negatively, someone who hates to wait for too long for the game result to come up after having clicked the spin button will definitely get very bored of playing if the delay continues, but saying that the slow or unstable connections causes us to lose more than we win is a lie and I completely disagree with it.

I think this is not only applicable in gambling, there are things that we really rely on a good internet and even if you are in a country that had good internet, you are bound to experience this kind of phenomena and the bad thing is that it spells a big difference, whether getting closing a deal, or putting a bet.

And this is what we call glitches, is unexpected, and it has a dire consequences for us gamblers. All we can do is just scratch our head specially if our supposedly bet didn't go in because of disruptions and then when it comes back, we should have won, very bad experience for us gamblers.
More of inconvenience with anything you are doing under the usage of internet connection. Problems I have personally experienced which are related to this discussion, are times that my transactions were not processed and a single time that I bet much more than what I am supposed to place. The feeling was really frustrating given how hard it is to win and if inconvenience and disruptions will add to the difficulty, experience would be worse for sure. Such feeling would be unwnted given that there are even players who are being frustrated with gambling due to loss. Personally, I do take a pause whenever there are maintenance related problems with my internet provider. I'd rather skip betting for a day or some days than to get mad due to overall negative gambling experience. Things are simple; we always have a choice to act in a manner that would either benefit us or put us in a worse situation.
When you do have some connection issues then there would really be those times that you would be tending to bet up a particular amount but due to that kind of interuption then you had missed out
on putting and if it turns out to be a winning bet or game then for sure you would really be having that kind of pissed feeling or emotion just because of that connection problem.
This is why it would really be that best that you should be totally not to play up if you do saw that signal strength isnt really that strong or on the time that we are really that outside
on which we know that there are really places which are dead spots. It would really be giving out that kind of frustration and disappointment due into that
not good user experience. So its up to you whether you would be pushing it up or not.

There is alternative to bad internet network and that is to have other means to connect to the internet. Except on rare cases, the internet doesn't just go off totally but it can affect some service providers server, so if you have alternative, you can just switch over to it and access the internet for your betting or whatever you are  using the internet to do. Someone who is always online gambling or surfing the internet doesn't have only one server to browse on the internet. So except on a rare cases that the internet service goes off totally in a country that will affect all service providers.
