What's the best way to reduce input lag while playing online casino games?
are good methods to minimize the input delay of live casino dealer games? I am not sure whether its caused by the internet, device, or the game itself. Looking for other live dealer gamers who have experienced this issue and how they overcame it.

Lag makes me want to punch my screen. It’s usually caused by internet issues, a poor computer, or the game itself? Check your internet speed; you should have at least 15 Mbps upload and download. Hardwired connection is always better than wireless. Close all other apps (and browser tabs) that use bandwidth. Reduce your graphic settings (they’re probably too high). If the problem is with the game, contact customer service. Try “low latency mode” if available; some casinos provide this feature for their live-dealer titles. Make sure you’re using an up-to-date web browser or one specifically designed for online gaming. Most forum users who fixed lag report that one (or more) of these areas was where they had to tweak things. Hope this helps!
Why does this happen? Internet connectivity, hardware (your phone/computer), and server load can all cause delays. Ensure you have at least 50 Mbps download speed and no other apps running in the background. Use a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi. Is it just this site or others too? Lots of people say that upgrading their browsers to Chrome or Firefox fixes the issue, and some play on a separate device. Anything else I should add?
The most common causes of latency in live-casino gaming are threefold: your WiFi, how powerful your device is, and the platform. So, first, try connecting via Ethernet, not WiFi; second, close some unnecessary tabs; third, use another browser or contact customer service to see if there’s something wrong with the site. A few of us have had success using Chrome or Firefox. Please keep sharing solutions.
Live dealer gaming doesn’t always run as smoothly as you’d hope. If you’re having trouble with delays, first check your internet connection – at least 50 Mbps should do the trick. Plug directly into a router rather than relying on Wi-Fi. Stop any other programs that are running in the background. Keep your browser and game client up-to-date, if possible. Some people experience fewer issues when they play using Chrome or Firefox. If none of this solves the problem, consider the quality of the game feed. Tweak your video settings to see if that helps.
