Can someone explain how to use voice chat in online casino games?

Hi! Whether or not you can speak to a live dealer during live dealer games depends on the site. In general, voice chat with live dealers is not available. However, most sites do allow you to send text messages to the dealers through a chat box. If you are playing on an Evolution Gaming platform, you will see a chat bubble icon somewhere on the screen (a bit trickier to find on mobile). Although voice chat would be nice, we currently only have the option to write our questions using the chatbox (and some dealers may even reply to you!). Once you find the chat function, you will quickly learn how to ask your dealer to play a certain hand pattern. Happy gaming!

But you cannot voice chat with live casino dealers. The games are usually video streams, and even if there is a text chat box, you won’t find a microphone icon. There may well be no option to voice chat with live casino dealers, and the dealer may simply be a prerecorded video. Use the text chat, then; that’s what most dealers respond to.

Voice chat with dealers isn’t available on many live-streaming platforms due to licensing restrictions (as well as concerns about privacy). However, some do allow players to use a chat box (often located within the game window) to communicate with the croupier. There is usually a “chat” button somewhere near the dealer, so you can say a quick “hello, ” ask a question, or just shoot the breeze. It's almost like you're playing in a brick-and-mortar casino, and some providers such as Evolution Gaming even use avatars that make it seem like you are chatting with your dealer. Look out for them!
