It definitely depends on the game, I can only really picture this being an issue with things like poker tables - that require decisions in a relatively quick manner. For somebody who plays the game on a regular basis and puts a lot of hours into it, you'd definitely want to make sure that your connection was reliable. Theoretically it could benefit you over a long time scale to have an extremely reliable connection compared to others, but it would probably contribute very little to your winnings. People who "timeout" due to connectivity issues are immediately sat out of the game after the first failed hand and are unlikely to get back in again if they lost big amounts of money to this problem. You could argue the odds of timeouts increases a lot with more cellphone based app gaming, because a wired line will be much more reliable.

Yes internet connectivity will only affect your gambling result for a specific type of game only. Games where you need to do something/click button in the process of the game such as poker where we need to decide something in the process. Other games can be crash game (manual play only), bad internet connectivity may make players a bit late to click cash out or even worst makes players unable to do it because the browser crashed. It may happen in sports betting as well especially in live betting and where there is cash out option.

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 had an experience but not totally like it. I mostly used to play esports gambling and that's why I deposited my funds so that I can participate. After a while, the connection of internet getting lost in my area due to weather issues. It takes 2 days to recover because I live in a village which is a far from city. That's why, I missed which I targeted to participate.

Yes its very common in my country internet connection loss and it happened to me often i missed to place a gamble on games because of the sudden connection shutdown and i would've won many of them if i could place those bets.

I think most of us has this issue as we are living in places that has poor connection specially Asian People .

I personally didn't experience loss just because of bad internet connection. Anyways I tend to secure my chance. I mean using some public internet (like school library) is very dangerous. You should better be prepared with mobile connection over hotspot on your device. Or just if it is too risky don't even try to gamble at all.

So you are living in Place where the connection really gives you favor.

I just saw this issue last week in an poker tournament final table. The prize pool for the first was almost 2 million USD and only 3 people left when one of them had a disconnect. The prize between the first and third was almost 1 million USD and yet they didn't pause the game. The game was live streamed and it was very wierd to see that a player had only 30 seconds to reconnect and was put on time out with such large sums involved. It only was a few rounds until he came back, but still the blinds are so high at this stage and seeing the other players just raise every hand to steal blinds felt very distributing.

I still remember the days in which I needed to go to the library in order to find the information I was looking for and that is not the case anymore,

Library these day are still important, in my country the only library had fully the best internet connection, it's free, everyone can access the internet, but of course, must have a library member. I still use it for downloading large files with need a high-speed connection, while waiting for it completely, I am playing online games or sometimes claiming a free bitcoin faucet and of course, multiply it Grin

.

I did not recommend in the library, that place that focusing read the book and searching for knowledege. don't follow me Grin

Congestion is the main problem in the Philippines, with millions of internet users but only few towers are created, so it's expected that the connection will slowed down especially during peak hours, best way to avoid that is to get a wire ISP, a little expensive but at least you don't worry anymore.

It's not with the congestion but a poor upgrade of towers and system networks here. Some towers are also being shared by other networks. Other countries don't have that great number of towers but their network system is good.

A few towers but built in a powerful network system can accommodate millions of internet users with a fast internet speed.

There are also no peak hours now and heavy usage is now seen 24/7. If PH ISPs can work on upgrading their cell sites, signals will be improved.

It's true to make internet connection smooth and fast, don't need too many towers, but what must be improved is the network system. I am not
a citizen of the Philippines, so I don't know the quality of the network system there. But if the signal you get is weak and often slows down
the internet connection speed, it means that there is indeed a problem with the quality of the network system and it really needs to be upgraded.
In my country I have the same problem, the network system quality is poor and the connection will suddenly slow down for several hours.
And this is quite annoying when we play gambling or online games if the internet connection is slow, indeed the only way to use an ISP that
already supports fiber optic cable. Because usually waiting for ISP to upgrade the network system will take a long time.

But there's this one time, when I've bet on a team at the last minute and my internet slowed down which makes it hard for me to connect and set the bet. But after a couple minutes the bet was counted atleast 3 times and won the game. I've received 3 times the amount I supposedly won, I thought it will be deducted sooner but nothing happened after. Grin

HAHAHAHHAHA

Weird. I don't think that is possible even on a sudden internet speed being slowed down. And it was placed 3 times, right?

In most cases, that bet won't go through as once the betting is closed, the interface (wherein on the page you are placing a bet) will just show up but when you refresh it, it's now unavailable. Or let's say it goes through, should only be a single bet.

Or maybe I missed something here lol.

Bad timing, internet connection problem annoyed you if you see those open opportunities and lose it because you just can't connect the website and place your bet.

It's critical as you are really aiming to take that win that supposedly providing you a very decent profits, it happened if not to all gamblers online but it can say that most already experienced this annoying situations.

Along the way, you just got to accept that you can't do nothing but to continue and try to find another opportunities maybe internet will allow you and not to bother you again.

I often experience this before way back 2017 when my internet speed was just 1-5mpbs which mostly disconnects from time to time. It is freaking irritating specially when it comes to sports betting as you wouldn't able to get a chance to bet once it is locked.

But there's this one time, when I've bet on a team at the last minute and my internet slowed down which makes it hard for me to connect and set the bet.

I think a slower internet connection actually does what is delay the adrenaline rush that one feels during gambling, and once that rush gets delayed or stopped, a feeling of loss or "out of control" takes over. If you gamble and if you need a sudden unexpected break during gambling, it will also feel like the same I guess. I have left gambling for good and I am slowly understanding the mechanisms that actually work in minds and how I used to perceive things and the reasons behind them. It's all science Cheesy

This is definitely interesting, we live in an age in which everything that we want can be had at an incredible speed, while I am not that old I still remember the days in which I needed to go to the library in order to find the information I was looking for and that is not the case anymore, you can obtain a great deal of information in less than a second and when it comes to gambling we do not want to wait, we want to obtain feedback immediately about whether or not what we did was successful or not and your Internet connection is critical for that.

Internet connection wont really be an enough reason for you to blame out that you had lost specially casinos games.When it comes on gambling using up my mobile and using data
then i dont have any problems since i dont really play on places which i do know that there's would be no decent connection or simply in rural places but in most cases all of the
places are really having some good signal so i dont really much in worry no matter when and where i do plan to play in my mobile.To think that once you drop your signal or
connection then those rolls wont continue and its just senseless if you do give out some blame.

If you're here in the Philippines, I think you'd know how it feels to have a very bad internet connection. You won't even see it coming because sometimes it's fast, and then when you're in a middle of something important, it'll go slow and it's like it can smell your fear. But if you're in a place where your ISP doesn't steal your money and always giving you food services by providing fast internet connection then I assume you won't understand the other side of the story.

Maybe you would say that "just don't play if you have a bad internet", or "change your place or the plan of your internet", sad to say to you that we have different privilege in life and not all of us can afford to move to places just to have good internet connection, I think.

I think this issue could only be very annoying for poker. But as somebody already mentioned before, if you will have a backup connection like a hotspot, then you are not a risk at tall.
buy a sim card and use a phone as hotspot/modem to make sure you have always a connection.

This is a great option for a more stable connection, but for a backup Internet channel you need not only a 3G/4G modem, but also a good router working in Multi-WAN mode, so that in case of any problems on the first channel, the router quickly switched the connection to the second channel.

It's easy to configure that if you have a knowledge on it, your main ISP should be the wired one while the back up is the peer to peer connection or the sim based. There are a lot of routers now that has a capability of dual wan, even triple wan.. As for me, I'm using a mikrotik router, I also manage my bandwidth effectively so there will be a smooth flow of connection in my network.

I have not experienced connectivity or issue about lagging, because I have a higher plan which is 35 MBPS one of the fastest in our country, my internet is being used for online schooling by our relatives and I'm on a work from home doing trading and bounty campaign, the internet connectivity is very important especially in gambling if you don't fix it you can participate in a lot of tournament and you will be late claiming bonuses.

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.

That's is good, we should try first our internet connection before we gamble, there is no assurance that our internet would be stable so better to take an action first before losing the game just because of an unstable internet connection, that is also what I am doing before I gamble, I always make sure that my internet connection is goo so it wouldn't make me so frustrated while playing.

I will make sure that when I am gamble, my internet connection does not have a problem, and I will check it first. That is always what I do now before I browse or search or gamble. Sometimes, I use the feature of ping on my laptop or computer to one website to check the internet connection because that is the easiest thing that I can do to know if my internet connection is at a good connection or not.

Good way to make sure that you are good to go not unless the ISP itself disconnect you when you are already playing, the
annoying part of your gambling activities.

Even you are done with everything, there's still a chance that your isp will lose contact with the site. It's unavoidable
mostly happened with bad ISP providers.
