Why can’t other players hear me during live dealer sessions?

Right, no talking is allowed in live dealer games. Online casinos generally disable player-to-player communication in order to prevent cheating. Live dealer games are streamed from a real-world casino, and chatting among players would add complexity to the already tricky task of ensuring proper game security.

You may not like it if you are a person who likes to talk in the casino, but that’s not how things work in cyberspace, which is between you, the dealer, and the cards.

But you’ll be able to chat via text in most live dealer games. In some cases, you’ll even be able to send emojis and brief messages.

Don’t panic! – that is just how all such games are designed in casinos so that everybody has an equal chance to win! Sounds like a good old online casino, huh?

Yeah, that’s totally fine. In fact, it’s pretty standard for games not to allow voice chatting. Casinos won’t want you talking to other players because it might interfere with the gameplay or create an advantage for some players, which would throw off the payout percentage (or “house edge”). But you can still talk to the other players using the text chat function, where supported, which is a safer and more manageable form of communication when playing against a real dealer.
