How to avoid delays and lags in live casinos

In a live casino, any pauses or "freezes" of the video can cost a bet and spoil the experience of the game. Below is a set of practical measures to help Australian players achieve stable HD streaming and instant response.

1. Optimize your Internet connection

1. Wired (Ethernet)

Minimum ping (<20ms), no Wi-Fi interference.

2. Wi-Fi 5 GHz instead of 2.4 GHz

Less interference, higher throughput.

• SD stream: from 5 Mbps
• HD stream: from 10 Mbps
• 4. Disable background downloads and torrents
• Exclude "hooking" applications.

2. Set up your device and OS

1. Close unnecessary applications

Free up RAM and CPU for the browser.

2. Update video drivers

The current version of the GPU drivers reduces artifacts.

3. Disable Update Autoplay

Eliminate the background load at the time of the game.

4. Check the heat mode

Improve cooling when the processor heats up.

3. Browser options

1. Use Chrome, Edge or Safari

Best WebRTC stack, hardware decoding H.264/VP9.

2. Enable hardware acceleration

Settings → Performance → Hardware acceleration.

3. Clearing cache and cookies

Delete stale data once a week to avoid script conflicts.

4. Disable VPN and proxy

Additional delay when encrypting traffic.

4. Provider and server selection

1. Platforms with PoP in Australia

Melbourne, Sydney CDNs minimize RTT.

2. Preference for WebRTC players

Delay <0.5 s vs 1-3 s in RTMP/HLS.

3. Fallback-codecs

H.264 is preferable to HEVC/AV1 in case of unstable channel.

5. Optimization of live interface settings

1. Lower the resolution

Temporarily switch to SD for speed problems.

2. Limit FPS

25-30 FPS instead of 60 FPS reduces the load on the network.

3. Minimize windows

Open one table at a time, close unnecessary tabs.

6. Monitoring and diagnostics

1. Speedtest and ping tests

Check the speed to the nearest CDN node.

2. WebRTC-internals

In Chrome, type 'chrome ://webrtc-internals' to rate packet loss, jitter, and bitrate.

3. Console logs

Track bugs in DevTools → Console.

7. Back-up measures

1. Mobile hot spot

Switch to 4G/5G if home internet drops.

2. Lightweight browser or PWA

Use the PWA version of the site for quick downloads.

3. Restarting the player

Refresh the page or re-enter the session to clear intra-player bugs.

Step-by-step implementation of these recommendations ensures a stable and fast live casino broadcast without delays and lags, allowing Australian players to focus on playing with real dealers and get the most out of their excitement and winnings.
