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.
Internet is one of the major things when you're having online gambling especially if it's PVP gambling, you'll instantly lose to the opponent such as poker and any games. Lose of connectivity is one of the irritating moments especially when you're doing something on the internet, what more if you're gambling, money is on the line. There are platforms that don't register bets due to loss of connection and sometimes we thought that we bet on a team we knew that will win but it doesn't. The stability of the internet connection is a pretty big deal on any internet activity such as gaming, streaming, browsing, gambling, trading, or whatsoever so always make it sure that we have a stable connection when we're having gambling activity.

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.
Ouch, that must have hurt. I use auto cashout for the same reason because when there is a bug like I am unable to click the cash-out button then at least the auto cash-out will help me out.

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.
Actually, some games are not affected as much with poor connectivity but imagine someone playing live blackjack and loses his connection mid-game, it would be disastrous.

I have not faced such problems maybe because I play simple games like keno and at times bet on slots and both of which are not much affected by poor connectivity.

We know that an internet connection is important to connect to all websites, including playing gambling. So whenever we get a lack or bad connection, it can disturb our activity on the internet, especially when we playing gambling. We need to realize that the internet connection can not always stabilize because sometimes, the ISP needs to do routine maintenance for their server to make sure that their customer will satisfy. I have got the worst experience with my ISP but I can not do anything because if I upgrade the tariff plan, that will cost me more money.
Of course, internet connection really plays a vital role in cryptocurrency because we don't have any means of interacting ourselves in the crypto world nothing but through the internet. Especially today, the life of people are circulating with internet interaction, gambling were now on trend via online, transaction of crypto can be made via online transaction. Sad to say, here in our country i found it hard to play gambling because of poor internet connection, which leads me to losses.

I don't think so that the internet connection might affect your gambling outcome or the win or lose because even you play gambling the outcome is already given to the user even though they have a slow internet connection. The only problem for the user is just a delay for the image or the preview.

I think gambling websites does not too much consume high internet connectivity. Currently I'm using with a .60 mbps and running smoothly still.

#SWGT PRE-SALE IS LIVE


if there is cheaper internet service then there is nothing wrong having 2 IP's but if you are living in  a Expensive internet connection and yet Low quality then that should be a problem .
Like when you have 2 internet provider and you are engaging in gambling with Big amount of Bets then it is reasonable to have Many IP addresses , there is someone i Know that He had 4 services , all the internet provider in His country is available in his presence  Grin.
But he is a Big time gambler and loves playing Live betting .

It's crucial to have a very good and fast internet connection if you are a trader, if trading and gambling is your life and this is where you make a living, then having 3 to 4 service providers is a big must even if it cost you, the internet connection is what carries your profit and income and besides having a computer with a good specs, the connection is very important.

Is there any other reasons why you have two different Ethernet connections at your home other than gambling? Because as you say if that is the only reason then it is a little bit too much, but if you have some other reason like an Internet business and you need to always be online no matter what happens then it is easier to justify the cost, and the fact that you can gamble even if one of the connections is down is just an added bonus that you take advantage of thanks to those two connections.
I also think two ISP's is overkill? Mobile data is a cheap enough alternative in case of emergency scenarios involving your bets. Just set it up so that you can easily access it via mobile or use mobile data via your pc fast enough. Though it's their money tbh, if they're fine with that then I have no qualms about that. Tbh, most internet issues come from picking a bad ISP, so just pick a good one and that's half the battle won already imo. The other half would probably be setting it up properly in your place, and making sure that you receive the proper signal speed that you should be really getting.

On that side, having two isp's for gambling, seems very engaged.

If the person is really involve with the business and they are relying their everyday source of income then it's justifiable, but for

regular gamblers who are only playing to enjoy having inter data from phone provider is already enough, and again it's all

with how the gambler use this venue to decide.

I already experienced this and it is really frustrating if this is the result of why you lose. There is one time I play at bustabit, the internet was fine at first so I play continuously. I was having good wins that time and didn't notice that internet suddenly started to go slow. I can't stop my bet until it was busted. From that experience, I always make sure that my internet will be fine. I usually gamble now after midnight where internet connection is fast because less number of users during that time.

Funny but i believe that majority of Posters here that can sympathized to the situation comes from Southeast Asia when the internet connection is really poor . (Because i am One of those lol)



I have to upgrade my internet connection besides having another connection, in case there's outage, or there is a lag in the connection, if you are a trader, a gamer or a gambling player you need a strong connection even if you are living in a country with a weak internet connection.

In my opinion, internet connection problems do not play a big role in online casino games.

However, I ran into big problems playing poker in the EOS ecosystem.  This happened not because of problems with the Internet, but because of the way the EOS blockchain works.  The cost of attacking the performance of this blockchain was incredibly low.  Therefore, many hackers have amused themselves by easily slowing down the speed of the EOS blockchain.  This caused huge problems for the players. 

In my opinion, the features of the functioning of the online game itself are much more important than the speed of the Internet connection.

Yes, it has an impact and you should always consider having a good connection if you are going to make a bet, you don't want to wait for your roll to show up the number 3 to 5 seconds late, it has an impact on your motivation and you want to see if you win the roll, as immediate as possible, it ruins the fun factor, better play when the connection is better, it completes your excitement.

To not "experience" the issue with Internet connectivity   I have in my house two Ethernet  lines from different ISP. If one line were out of commission I would use the other one. Yeah, this is a kind of "overkill approach" with  extra cost  , but doing this way I never get in the situation preventing me from gambling wins.

If you are going to bet online on matches, it is not really a problem. However, if you are playing with large amounts of poker it is very annoying if the connection is lost or not stable. Not much to do about it. or use a hotspot as a phone as a backup.
If from the beginning you have already spot it on that you have an internet connection, why would you play with large amounts? As a gambler, your concern is also lying on it and your decision at the beginning will also come out that you're liable if something bad comes out as an output.
Because if you have already experienced trouble in your connection and you've noticed and aware of it yet you continued, you're at fault.
Sometimes these kind of situations like these arent really that been anticipating because it can happen on point and not giving you any signs of possible interruption or cutdowns specially if you havent
experienced it on the past.

Whom would thought that it would be cut down in the middle of your gameplay?This is just purely on random or coincidence basis thats why its really hard to give out those words
if you do know that you cant control everything.

I believe that connectivity does have some impact but not really as a whole.

Internet is influential when using the internet,,, not internet is influential when betting. I think you guys are all just making a big deal out of this,,, sorry but fast or slow does not change my emotions:)
I did not knew this, so what is your proper emotions, will it change between fast or slow changes  Cheesy

The only thing I can think of is live betting, which even I very rarely try because firstly of my not-so-good internet, and second because I know my own secondary connection makes it even harder.
When you are placing a bet in sports it might not go through if your connection is bad but when it comes to casino the connectivity does not calculate the win loss situation as it is already determined by the algorithm before rolling but it can give you a feeling that something fishy is going on Wink.

Actually somewhat of an underrated topic.

With the advent of live games that require player input such as Crash, this has become an increasingly prevalent issue.

I've personally lagged because of a crappy internet connection which led to losses a few times on Bustabit. But this is the risk that you run when you are playing on these sites.

Yeah, crash game requires good internet connection too as you need timing to win if you loss your connection, that's an automatic loss, I guess this is one of the best example and personally I tried playing crash game few times and I know lots of bettors fall in love with this kind of game.

The T&Cs of each site protects the site owners from becoming liable in these events - and there is really no recourse for you if this does happen to you unfortunately.
Internet connectivity issue mostly affect only the bettors side, it's our fault so they'll never be liable.
