Virtual Poker Dominates the World!
When PartyPoker stops responding partway through a hand, the money on the table is real and the clock does not wait. The usual reason is not PartyPoker but the internet connection feeding it, shared at home with streaming and downloads or handed between Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular, which leaves short gaps where your moves never reach the poker room.
Speedify is an app that sends your traffic over Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and satellite internet connections simultaneously, so one wobble stays invisible to PartyPoker. Speedify can only keep you online through a drop when it has two or more internet connections to work with, for example Wi-Fi plus your phone’s 4G/5G cellular. On a single connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and cannot stop that connection from dropping. Speedify cannot shorten the route to the poker room, but with two or more connections in Redundant Mode it sends each packet over every connection and uses the copy that arrives first, so your ping follows whichever connection is faster at that moment. Everything below covers the usual causes, seven easy fixes, and how using Speedify keeps you seated.
Speedify keeps your game responsive when one connection spikes.
What are the Usual Causes for PartyPoker Connection Issues
Internet connections tend to drop right when you need them most. That can be fine for other activities, but in a PartyPoker tournament your money is at stake, so solve potential connection issues before you log in to PartyPoker. One option is a VPN for PartyPoker that adds failover.
The causes for PartyPoker connection issues may be split into 3 major categories:
- Platform server problems (when it’s not you, it’s them)
- Device issues: software conflicts (with security or firewall software) or an out-of-date PartyPoker app
- Internet connectivity problems on your part: slow or laggy connection.
Troubleshooting any of these during an ongoing game is not recommended. You can do this while in the app lobby or when you’re not using PartyPoker. Keep reading to see a list of potential fixes.
7 Easy Steps to Fix PartyPoker Connection Issues
Let’s see how you can troubleshoot your PartyPoker connection issues:
- Check the PartyPoker Support Twitter account for any news on issues.
- Restart all your network equipment: router, modem, repeater and so on.
- Make sure you have the latest version of the PartyPoker app installed and restart it.
- If you have a firewall or security software, make sure it allows the PartyPoker app to access the Internet.
- Restart your PC or smartphone.
- Reinstall the PartyPoker app
- Contact PartyPoker directly from the app or website.
The alternative to all the above: using 2 or more connections available to you at once, to keep you connected when one of them disconnects. You can easily do that by using the Speedify app while you play poker.
How Speedify Keeps PartyPoker Connected When One Internet Connection Drops
Speedify is an app that combines all of your internet connections at once and encrypts your traffic like a VPN. With two or more internet connections you get more bandwidth, and failover when one of them drops. Speedify also gives you protection against DDoS attacks that target poker players, because your home IP address stays hidden behind the Speedify server. If you have been targeted before, you might also think about getting your own dedicated server for online games.
If you think you don’t have any other connections available, here are a few ideas:
- on your smartphone you can combine Wi-Fi and cellular together.
- on your computer you can use the Ethernet or Wi-Fi from the home network with a USB cellular dongle and/or your tethered smartphone.
Speedify automatically detects all active internet connections on your device and combines them to keep you online while maintaining the session. If one of your internet connections drops, Speedify moves the traffic to the others, so PartyPoker keeps receiving your moves and the hand goes on.
Keep the PartyPoker app updated, even with Speedify running. Keep Speedify on a server in the country you are actually in: PartyPoker only accepts players from countries where it is allowed to operate, and its terms ban hiding where you play from.
In short, Speedify gives you a simple way to solve and avoid PartyPoker connection issues by using all of your available internet connections at once.
