Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses

[Quidat]

Have you guys experienced any loss/win out of the issue with internet connectivity. I've mentioned about wins/losses, but mostly people get affected negatively when there is connectivity issues. I personally believe that the internet connection is also a reason with our gambling wins. Here it is about casino games and not sports betting.

Most of the time I gamble using the mobile device. The connectivity speed varies between locations and I've encountered with the rolls taking more time as well as the the rollers moving within the bar with sudden visibility. When I check the provably fair functioning, it does right. But, my mind has a thinking our loss is due to the internet connection.

Does any of you have similar experience or thinking.

It sure does, Internet connection has really disrupt alot of online gamblers making them unable to access the sites and place bets but in the other hand it has nothing to do with offline gamblers that go to the casino to spin and all of that,but rather it has made it easier for them to access and also creating a chance for a win but to online gamblers the reverse is the case,sometimes it's more frustrating as the sites will be  telling you error in connection and issues of sort and might literally be from a bad location and at the end you end up loosing the game or bet.

That's frustrating and it really happened, especially if you are in the place where internet connection is poor but gambling is a game of chance a high risk activities where you really can't tell when you will lose and when you will win, most of the time gambler only looking for someone or something to point their finger unable to accept losses and unable to move forward.

If you treat gambling as entertainment and you are just using spare money, I guess it's not hard to accept the outcome and you won't have the idea like this.

You just move forward and try back no one to blame especially your connection but take that enjoyment and think of a better strategy when you play back.

This is why if you dont like on getting frustrated then it would really be just that right that you shouldn't really be playing into those spots which does have that poor internet connection
but sometimes it cant really be avoided considering that there are really dead spots specially when we are in transit while we are playing gambling on which it would really be causing those
connections to be that not that good which it would really be making that gambling experience do really sucks but in overall when it comes to result then i dont believe
that it would really be affecting it fairness. The only thing that you would really be able to experience is that it do really just that stop the fun.

I got a couple losses incurred all because of my slow internet connection, forcing my very impatient ass to refresh the page and see that the bet went through but the game/platform automatically tagged it as a loss, or in some cases literally losing internet connection on a whim, which arguably is the most uncontrollable yet the most annoying situation for me.

In the former case I got no one to blame but myself, personally being impatient and not waiting on the loading screen to really go through even though most of the time I have all the time in the world is what really causes me to lose these otherwise controllable games. I blame myself, I move on, I bet again. On the other hand, when my internet connection completely dies out on me, that's when I get the most angry about. Not only because I know I'm about to lose the bet/game I've been gambling on, but also because if you have a little bit of a background as to how the Philippine internet connection system works, every downtime like that you should expect to wait for a few days to have it reinstated, it's just how subpar the internet system in here is, so at the end of the day it's not really about the bet itself but the premise of not being able to access the internet and all my most visited sites and platforms for a few days.

One of the minor reasons of destroying our momentum in playing but I can't say it is the main reason why we lose in gambling because sometimes even if our internet connectivity is good, we rarely win. It's valid that we will regret it, but you don't need to blame everything on the internet unless you're sure that you're going to win, like you need to confirm an amount and then suddenly the internet goes crazy, such sample scenarios, but if you're in the middle of the game and suddenly there's of the problem, you can't blame the connectivity because you're still not sure that you're really a winner.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

I think this is not only applicable in gambling, there are things that we really rely on a good internet and even if you are in a country that had good internet, you are bound to experience this kind of phenomena and the bad thing is that it spells a big difference, whether getting closing a deal, or putting a bet.

And this is what we call glitches, is unexpected, and it has a dire consequences for us gamblers. All we can do is just scratch our head specially if our supposedly bet didn't go in because of disruptions and then when it comes back, we should have won, very bad experience for us gamblers.

Yes, what you said is also true that we do not need to be too excessive in blaming something that is not really the cause as well as interference with the internet connection, because after all we never know about the actual results at the end of the session whether we will actually win or not, one of the reasons is because gambling is nothing more than a probability activity which means that maybe you will win but maybe you will lose at the end of the session, of course it can never be known even if you are very skilled.

This means that we have to go back to the original understanding and understanding of the basis of gambling which is always about uncertainty as to the outcome at the end of the session, I understand that having an internet outage when you are gambling is quite an annoying situation but on the other hand you don't need to be too disappointed and regret it because you don't know the end result, and I would say that disappointment and or excessive annoyance at something like internet interference is normal if you are basically at the end of the session where you see that it turns out that if there is no internet interference then you can win the game, but if the result turns out to be a loss then I think you don't need to be too excessive in blaming other things because even if such coincidental interference does not occur it is not certain that you can win.

More of inconvenience with anything you are doing under the usage of internet connection. Problems I have personally experienced which are related to this discussion, are times that my transactions were not processed and a single time that I bet much more than what I am supposed to place. The feeling was really frustrating given how hard it is to win and if inconvenience and disruptions will add to the difficulty, experience would be worse for sure. Such feeling would be unwnted given that there are even players who are being frustrated with gambling due to loss. Personally, I do take a pause whenever there are maintenance related problems with my internet provider. I'd rather skip betting for a day or some days than to get mad due to overall negative gambling experience. Things are simple; we always have a choice to act in a manner that would either benefit us or put us in a worse situation.

There is alternative to bad internet network and that is to have other means to connect to the internet. Except on rare cases, the internet doesn't just go off totally but it can affect some service providers server, so if you have alternative, you can just switch over to it and access the internet for your betting or whatever you are  using the internet to do. Someone who is always online gambling or surfing the internet doesn't have only one server to browse on the internet. So except on a rare cases that the internet service goes off totally in a country that will affect all service providers.

When you do have some connection issues then there would really be those times that you would be tending to bet up a particular amount but due to that kind of interuption then you had missed out
on putting and if it turns out to be a winning bet or game then for sure you would really be having that kind of pissed feeling or emotion just because of that connection problem.
This is why it would really be that best that you should be totally not to play up if you do saw that signal strength isnt really that strong or on the time that we are really that outside
on which we know that there are really places which are dead spots. It would really be giving out that kind of frustration and disappointment due into that
not good user experience. So its up to you whether you would be pushing it up or not.

I have actually played some casino games in the past and while playing, I encountered network connection issues, sometime, the game returns back announcing a small win, while the other times, it comes back announcing a loss after the internet connection is restored.

But over all, I will not agree with our wins and losses has anything to do with how strong or weak our internet connection is, the only thing I see with slow or unstable internet connection is that, our gambling experience will be greatly affected negatively, someone who hates to wait for too long for the game result to come up after having clicked the spin button will definitely get very bored of playing if the delay continues, but saying that the slow or unstable connections causes us to lose more than we win is a lie and I completely disagree with it.

An internet connection that often crashes, of course this is one of the most annoying activities in the world of gambling, I have experienced this, where when I bet there is a clear chance of winning in front of my eyes, on the contrary, the expected win is actually the loss that I feel, winning, the worst situation is that the internet is stuck.

So since things like this have happened to the internet connection, up to now I have had to install a private WiFi for myself, which guarantees a safe and smooth connection. Since then I have never been stuck gambling again, I can play as freely as possible to bet.

Internet connectivity has prevented me from losing in gambling. Recently, after making predictions I was about to place the bet but the internet connectivity was bad so I couldn't stake. Initially, I was very angry that I didn't place the game. The game appeared sure which is so normal for every game. I also didn't follow up the game since I didn't stake the game but then I washed one of the games and the outcome was different from what I predicted. What made me angry became a blessing in disguise because the game didn't play and so I became happy.

I will say this worked in my favour but would have been a different feeling for me if the game played. Even though it didn't play, when I couldn't stake the game because of internet connectivity I reasoned what the potential winning would do for me and wasn't happy. So, things can work in our favour sometimes and against our favour other times. It is proper to embrace every situation.

In some cases, when a problem in the internet occurs while a bettor is currently active on betting, can be realized later on as a blessing and a good thing it happened. If the internet didn't crash at the point they are about to hit that BET button, they might end up wrecking the whole bankroll.

Generally, the response of bettors depends on the match result that they are supposed to place a bet.

Internet crashes while betting might angered others because of the missed opportunity in case of a win but on the other hand, it also saved others from losing their money, at least. But in today's internet status, it's a rare case now for the internet to suddenly crash a bit while actively betting.

I've also experienced this when I was playing crashes because some of the connections were not very stable, so I failed to exit when I had enough profit and it turned into an accepted defeat.

But indeed for internet connection problems, problems only occur for some games such as slots, live games such as poker or some other games that require a stable connection such as crashes like the one I played which made the chances that were actually good actually turned into losses.
But in other conditions in indirect games like sportsbook I don't think it's too annoying because after all in some reasons sometimes we wait more so it won't be too influential even if the connection is not too stable.

Yes, I had these problems often when playing on my phone, so I stopped and chose a stationary PC, and eventually using a phone, but only when connected to a wifi network. 3g or 5g connections are too unreliable to be doing any of the important stuff, even sending transactions through blockchain can sometimes be a pain.
On PC I had issues with playing cards because at a poker table you have to make a move, you can't sit passively, or you'll get booted. I'm sure you all know that when another draw starts you're supposed to bet or fold and doing nothing means folding, so you can have good cards and get disconnected and you fold without having a chance to put your cards on the table. If you happen to have a lot of money already on the table that can hurt.

Are you sure this is not related to your ISP? While latency is quite high compared to cable networks, you should never get timed out multiple times within a minute. It can also happen because of your DNS server, so it might be worth changing and seeing if there's any difference. I use mobile networks when I travel quite often, while it is terrible in remote areas, as long as I get decent coverage it works fine to regularly upload data to the cloud. I'm surprised there's a night and day different between cable and mobile if you don't move from your location, sounds like your mobile provider has no network tower in your area if the connection is really that bad.

Exactly, it's really annoying because if your game is interrupted just because of the loss of internet connection, it will really ruin your gaming mood and it can even cause you to lose focus on gambling. It's valid what you feel and we can't stop blaming others but at the end of the day, we know what really happened and we have to accept that the chance to win might not be in our favor, it's more fun to gamble without any grudge in our heart, let's just think that next time we will be the ones who will experience victory.

Fix your internet connection problem.

I have never face such a problem before and even if I have, the blame is on my internet provider not the online casino.

Like right now I haven't gambled for a while, because there is a problem with the internet in my country and it affected some other countries nearby too, it has to do with internet cable under the sea, I guest it got lose or damaged, for two weeks now the speed have been so bad.

Imagine now going to an online casino and deciding to start gambling, what type of result should I be expecting? A flawless one? So dear, make sure you have a good internet connection before you start to gamble.

[348Judah]

If something like this happened to us, what are we going to do, because same thing could be the reason that could have saved us from loosing if the situation happens to favour us, we cannot blame the internet sometimes because this has a lot to do with the location we found ourselves in, there are also some unforseen situations that warrants the challenges we pass through with the use of the internet, all these are sometimes inevitable for us to avoid.

To avoid such problems I usually use a ping command to test whether or not the gambling site is reachable at the moment and what is response time from the server relevant to this site.

First I go to ipvoid site to find IP relevant to the site,  then apply ping command in Ubuntu console, getting  something like this

I refrain  from   gambling  on the site   if time > 50.0  ms

In any case though, if gamblers are not aware, The Next Casualty of the Red Sea Attacks: Undersea Cables

On December 24th, 2023, a Telegram channel linked to the Houthis published a map showing the networks of submarine communications cables in the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Persian Gulf. The image was accompanied by an ominous message: “There are maps of international cables connecting all regions of the world through the sea. It seems that Yemen is in a strategic location, as internet lines that connect entire continents — not only countries—pass near it.”

So most likely this could be the case that sometimes we see some internet disruptions in the last couple of weeks as it is under attack by some rebels or terrorist. So it's not just gamblers that are affected, most likely everyone around the world has felt the effect.
