Live dealer lag

Noticing a ton of lag with live dealer blackjack lately and it's starting to bug me. Here’s what I’ve noticed, Sometimes dealer action pauses for ages after all bets are in, like they're waiting for a signal. Makes it tough to keep any kind…

Wagering on live games?

Does anybody actually make use of live game wagering for meeting bonus requirements, or is that just bait? I know some promos technically say you can, but seems like the odds get even worse than usual with live in-play. At least with blackj…

Racetrack bets help?

Had a debate last night about racetrack bets on roulette and got a little stuck. I’m mostly a blackjack player so my roulette knowledge is like halfway there, but the racetrack part always trips me up. I see people throwing down chips on th…

Gamdom asking extra kyc after 3 months of deposits and one decent cashout

so i’ve been grinding a bit on there, small deposits every few days, never had a hiccup. made a mid-sized withdrawal last night, not huge but more than usual, and suddenly they’re hitting me up for fresh kyc. weird thing is, they were fine…

does playing only even money live roulette make bonus review more likely

been thinking about this and just wondered if playing only even money bets on live roulette puts you under more scrutiny during a bonus playthrough. i always feel like blackjack gets flagged quick, but roulette on red/black or odd/even feel…

Live dealer lag

Anyone else getting some super annoying lag with live dealer games lately? I stick with the same handful of sites so I know it’s not just my own connection acting up. I usually do a combo of blackjack and roulette, and I’m seeing delays on…

Dealer hits soft 17?

So I was messing around at a local casino and realized I always forget if the dealer is supposed to hit on soft 17 or not. I know it really changes the house edge but honestly it always throws me off when some tables do and some don’t. I no…

live soccer bet stayed pending until goal happened then got rejected

so this just happened and i'm curious if others have dealt with it. tried to hit a live over bet during a soccer match right before a corner kick, odds were still there, line wasn’t locked. spun for like 45 seconds, just pending, and then o…

Dealer mistake paid wrong?

I was at the roulette table and tossed chips around, keeping track as usual, and the dealer paid me out more than I won. I didn’t catch it right away but later realized the mistake when going over my messy chicken-scratch notes. I’m wonderi…

Caesars cashout gone

so yeah, it's totally possible for a cashout to go missing, especially with all the hoops these sites make you jump through, i get it. people sometimes forget the withdrawal gets reversed or ends up “pending” for way too long, and then the…

opposite side betting rule on roulette but i wasnt even doing exact hedge

Got a warning from support about “opposite side” betting on roulette, but here’s the thing - I wasn’t doing exact hedges or anything close to the old red/black or even/odd full coverage. I did have a few numbers and some splits on the table…

opposite side betting rule on roulette but i wasnt even doing exact hedge

Got flagged last night for “opposite side betting” on live dealer roulette, but I wasn’t doing a classic black/red or high/low hedge. I was spreading chips across neighbors, so like, five numbers on one wheel segment, and a couple splits on…

leovegas live dealer froze during bonus round and then session history skipped it

got caught up on a blackjack live dealer session and the game froze smack in the middle of a bonus side bet round. waited a minute or two, refreshed, and suddenly i was back at the lobby with the session history not showing the hand at all.…

matched bonus voided because i changed games too fast apparently

So I just had a matched bonus balance pulled back after a pretty good run on some slots, got flagged for "switching games too rapidly" which apparently triggers some abuse detection. Never even heard of that being a rule, thought the only t…

Duelbits loss limits real?

Saw some folks say they hit their loss limit and couldn’t keep playing, but I honestly don’t know if those caps are hard-stuck or just there to look responsible. Like, I’ve set limits on a couple crypto sites before and sometimes I still ge…

caesars roulette history showed number hit but my bet slip settled as loss

Was spinning some roulette and saw my number actually hit, at least that’s what the “recent numbers” display showed. But when I checked my bet slip, it had already been settled as a loss and I got none of the payout. Not the first time some…

stake cashback lower than expected

Checked my account this morning and the cashback I got was way below what I’d calculated. I tracked my total losses and rake for the week, tried to line that up with their percentages, but the payout isn’t close. I even went back through my…

bet cancelled after odds moved hard but only after it won

Placed a live bet last night, right after the line moved a bunch. Got the confirmation and all seemed good, and then after the game finished and I'd actually won, the bet was just voided. The reason they gave was "palpable error" or whateve…
