Target Internet Metrics
Bandwidth: 5 Mbps minimum, 10–15 Mbps recommended for 1080p streams. Leave headroom to avoid buffering during peak times.
Latency: under 80 ms to our nearest edge for responsive bet placement and prompt reveals.
Packet Loss: keep below 1% sustained; occasional spikes are okay if buffers recover within seconds.
Jitter: under 20 ms to keep audio cues and countdown timers in sync with the video.
Router Placement and Channels
Place your router high and central; avoid corners and metal surfaces that reflect signals.
Prefer 5 GHz for low interference. Use a Wi‑Fi analyzer to select a quiet channel (36–48 or 149–161).
Enable band steering if available so devices choose the best band automatically.
If possible, wire your main device via Ethernet for the most stable sessions.
QoS and Traffic Shaping
Turn on Quality of Service (QoS) and prioritize streaming traffic. This keeps the live table feed smooth even if other devices start downloads.
Schedule cloud backups and OS updates outside of gaming windows. Pause large downloads on consoles or TVs during sessions.
If you must use a VPN, choose a nearby endpoint and test multiple gateways to minimize added latency.
Mobile and Tablet Tips
On phones, disable low‑power data modes that throttle background networking. Keep battery above 20% to prevent CPU down‑clocking.
Close heavy apps before joining a table. Allow autoplay and media permissions in your browser for seamless cues.
If your Wi‑Fi is congested, switch to a strong 5G/4G cellular signal for a temporary session.
Troubleshooting Quick Wins
Stutter: reduce resolution with the gear icon; move closer to the router; restart the app to clear buffers.
Blur: wait 10–20 seconds for bitrate to rise; ensure other devices aren’t saturating uploads.
Desync: toggle sound output; rejoin the table to resynchronize audio/video clocks.
