How do other users handle lag in casino game streams for discussions?

For example, when I'm watching a delayed livestream of a physical casino game, I usually timestamp my posts, or estimate how long ago something happened, or sometimes just guess. Streamers who know the platform has a delay-sync setting turn that on; others just roll with the delay and talk at different times. I think a really cool addition for your wiki forum would be to allow posters to time-stamp their comments to align them with the game play. Or maybe include a "chat replay" that shows old comments in chronological order. Or ask the users to put "rough estimates" in brackets after the comment, like "[~5:30 in]". Perhaps ask the community what they'd like to see! Big change from small inputs.

Casino streams typically have a 5-15 second buffer. Users adapt by commenting before the moment of action (e.g., predicting bets before they’re acted upon). Some platforms post timestamps or highlight delayed chat. Consider chat “waves” (grouped messages) with timestamps or allow viewers to align their chat with game actions. Have your audience choose the buffering time? Just figure out where viewers want to hang between the flow of their chat and the reality of the game. Test a few solutions.

To avoid an awkward experience, consider using live delays alongside chat timestamps. Allow users to choose their own response delay interval (e.g. 5-15 seconds), ensuring that they remain in sync with one another regardless of latency. Streamers could even offer timecode-synced highlights or auto-tag events as they happen with different delay intervals. And remember: give the audience control! Poll them to pick between a range of delay intervals, so that they can decide what works best for them.
