Not all casino games require fast internet connection. If you are playing on live casinos, then that will really need a fast connection or else you might lose your turn, get AFK, miss to confirm bet, kicked out, etc. That is too much hassle knowing that a mere seconds of lag or delay might mean losing money.

But if you are only playing dice and similar games, there is no need to have a really fast connection unless you are really after a certain number of rolls per second. But if you are only casually playing, no need to bother.

I have personally encounter once or twice the internet connectivity issue when I was playing poker.There were 3 players including me on the table and when I hit bet on my turn by raising the chips with 500 to the total pot amount suddenly my internet connection was gone for few seconds and when the connection was again set my session automatically resumed and I was on my table but the issue I faced was that time was out for my turn and my chip balance was reduced causing me loss and I was unable to see the results.So it happens sometimes due to internet connection but most of the sites provide session autoresume in such cases as we have not heard many cases of loss due to such reasons.

I had similar issues last month when playing poker. Somehow the connection was really bad for two weeks which made it very hard for me to play. After losing my first sit and go because of it I stopped playing tournaments. Sure I can switch to my phone when the Internet is gone, but playing multiple table on a small phone screen is really annoying. Also people will instantly notice if you lose connection and raise every pot, it goes very fast to lose your whole stack due antes and blinds.

I lost so many poker hands because of the internet connection... It's when you have good cards and you calling raises, but on the river, I lose internet and I can't call and I lose everything! I think a few times I had like two aces or kings and before my turn, I lose connection and I automatically fold... when I get back it's already a new hand!

With rolling dices it's another thing, I usually play auto...so when I lose internet connection my auto just stops, I can lose something little, but it's never a big deal!

Losing connection is a pain in the ass definitely! Nobody likes that, it can be so annoying and disturbing for all of us... it's the moment when we lose concentration and we start making bad moves!

Im pretty sure when I experienced lag, the next thing is losing my rolls. I usually play dice and whenever my internet connection sucks, I stop and restart my wifi. It somehow affects the way dice reacts, I dunno but I always lose the game when I experienced slow net connection.

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.

I've also experienced some connection timeouts but I doubt it had an impact on my overall wins and losses. I never thought of it that way since it's very unlikely that the outcome would suddenly change only because of a connection issue unless it's from a third party provider and even then most of their games usually have an auto save feature so if you lost connection you'll still be able to claim your winnings. 
Yeah, it is outside the operation of the gambling site, the rolls and spins are predetermined the moment that you roll or spin it, the reason that it looks like the Internet connectivity seems to be the problem is because we have an ingrained thought that it is the Internet that is the problem and that we can't find any valid reason. Auto-save is a lifesaver, the Internet in my country is really crappy so whenever there is a disconnection on the Internet, I am always safe because I know that my spin will not be in vain.

I didn't experienced any internet issue with my wins or losses. Whenever I lose, that's already programmed as you play casino games and there won't be such as bugs because it's already automated. And if I know that I have a connectivity issue, I wouldn't gamble with any amount.
I make sure that when I gamble, I'm on the right place and area which has a better signal if ever I'm on mobile. But most of the times, I get a stable connection on my home.

Yes this happens, from time to time.  The games I regularly place bets on are on sports matches (Soccer, NBA, UFC) etc. I notice it majority of the time when the match is just about to start or maybe when I'm trying to cash in on an in-play bet and then, the network starts acting up resulting in making sure that I don't take the bet. Those times are really frustrating as I end up missing out on opportunities to make the bank. I forgot to mention that you can't take the cashout option quickly at times when the internet connection is bad and you've to take the option asap.

That said, I always try to get a good connection first before going about placing bets. It's a small issue that is easily overlooked but yet very delicate if not available on inadequate.

If you are placing a bet on a reputed casino then it is a provably fair system and there is no way the internet connection will have anything to do with the outcome of your bet. You might find a lag when you roll but the outcome of your seed is predetermined and hence nothing to worry with your slow connection Wink. I never bet on casino with my mobile as i do not get the experience i am looking for and my connection is pretty fast to see any lag on the sites i am playing unless there is a server issue.

^ That is right, but think it of, in the first place do not gamble when you have weak internet connectivity. I did not experience this because I only gamble when I am home or office with wi-fi internet. Probably if you are using your phone, make sure that there is enough space for the phone storage not to cause of laggy experience while in-game, but I did not do this. Nevertheless, there is nothing to worry about because once the internet will be reconnecting it will also resume where you have stopped and win or lose, always check the provably fair verification.

Internet connection doesn't really make any difference to the bets placed on casino games but yeah, it ends the excitement we've for that bet as it creates more suspense and that's where we feel extremely awkward and sometimes, it feels itchy (like something is pinning us inside). I believe that you must only be bothered about your internet if you lose in games like Blackjack in between when the internet stops to work during the bet where you were asking to Hit/Stand and all other options.

I play slots on mobile and my phone wi-fi keeps disconnecting all the time but this never posed any problem since as soon I reconnect and reload the page, I get back to my previous session and continue spinning as if nothing happened  Smiley
As long as the game is provably fair, you should be fine as you can verify the results whenever in doubt.

I have experienced things like this when internet connectivity is bad while I am betting so that I lose my bet I don't care about it because I lose with a little bet but if this happens often and the bet is lost then that's where we need to judge it means where to go betting if the internet is bad, is it returned or does it function when the bet loses?
I have happened in a game that Crash makes pages load a long time because the internet is bad, therefore we need to pay attention to how the network condition is good or not.

It can happen occasionally, there was a time when I tried to make a bet and suddenly I had a bad connection, I was playing crash games and I wasn't able to cash out on my target and lost some of my bets. Though this may be occasional this could lead to massive losses especially if you have a high bet.

That's a sort of question that never came to my mind. I used to play dice and crash, but even though both require speedy decisions, I don't think I've ever had an Internet connection issue during the games. That being said, an Internet connection issue during a crash game could very much be decisive and largely responsible for a loss. Same goes for an autobet on dice which you might not be able to turn off at the precise moment when you wanted to.
These days I place bets on sports, and since I'm not into live betting, the Internet connection also doesn't play a role for me.

I would say, internet connection has nothing to do with your gambling result especially if you are playing provably fair games.
It is just your wrong assumption IMO, as if it is true then there will be another blame to your device's specification.


I understand your idea about the connection of internet connectivity to you by playing gambling. For me, personally I experienced gambling and at the same time having poor internet connection. I definitely get angry because of the possibilitu of losing because of the short and slow internet connection. Even if you say that it is a fair game or like dice game that can be auto activated, still you can say that it will affect you because ypu will somehow have slow updates, bet place and even like deposits and withdrawals. Internet connection is one of the main components we need in gambling because we also staying at homes.
No, it would be completely be stopped once the connection would be cut down even if its on that slightest lost connection then it would be automatically stopped even if you are
on a auto roll or betting.This is why i do agree that it has nothing to do with gambling results because platforms would automatically stop those rolls if you are on automation.

So far i dont experience any problem with connection while playing and even if i do experience such internet connectivity issue then theres nothing you do need to worry about.

Be nice!
Internet Connectivity isn't involved when gambling on online casino games such as Dice Games. I have experienced it many times where my internet isn't functioning properly due to low signal on my area. You may have thought the you've won more due to slow internet but rather it's just a false understanding as the bets only depends on the probably fair.

This whole feeling that you have is just because of a coincidence that you've won more when you have a slow connectivity and lose when you have a fast connectivity but it may also happen in reverse.

Yes, I have that experience before I change my ISP. The internet connection was suck and made me angry every day, so that I decided to close the account and search for the other ISP that can serve better. I have a bad connection too when I play gambling on my mobile phone but not too often because I will check the connection by browsing some websites and make sure everything is good. It could be our loss because of the lack of internet connection.
