Latency is another challenge in live dealer games. If a player has to wait two seconds for their wager to be recorded, or if the live dealer freezes during a game, it can dampen the experience and disrupt the rhythm of play.

With live betting, such as on roulette or blackjack, even a short lag can be disastrous. If the screen is too slow, you may lose the last moment before a bet is closed. And how will you know whether or not you have actually bet?

The most important thing is to ensure you have strong internet access. If you can, use an Ethernet cable rather than Wi-Fi. Shut down all browser tabs and applications not being used for work. If you’re still having trouble, contact your ISP to see if they can improve your bandwidth.

Poor internet connectivity will negatively affect the live dealer game’s smooth running, primarily through buffering issues (i. e., video and audio delays), which will most likely affect your gameplay. The impact is not as noticeable when playing slots but becomes more apparent while playing poker or roulette. To solve this issue, ensure that your device is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network, preferably via a cable. Also, close any applications that could be consuming high bandwidth. If your experience remains affected, kindly reach out to the casino support team, who will likely resolve the issue.
