Speedify Keeps Your Online Poker Session Live with Fast and Uninterruptible Internet
GGPoker takes a few seconds to register your bet, the table freezes, and the timer keeps counting. That delay is lag, the gap between your click and the poker room receiving it, and it usually comes from an internet connection shared with other heavy users at home, or a weak wireless signal.
Speedify is an app that uses Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular at the same time, so a slow patch on one internet connection does not cost you the hand. 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. Read on for seven fixes for GGPoker lagging, and why playing with Speedify running keeps real money out of your internet connection’s hands. PartyPoker players can use the same approach to stop PartyPoker lagging.
Speedify keeps your game responsive when one connection spikes.
What Causes GGPoker Lagging
Internet connections tend to slow down or drop right when you need them most. That can be fine for other activities, but in a GGPoker tournament your money is at stake, so solve potential connection issues before you log in to GGPoker. Here is what to do when GGPoker keeps disconnecting.
The causes for GGPoker connection issues may be split into 3 main 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- Device issues: software conflicts (with security or firewall software) or an out-of-date GGPoker app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 GGPoker. Keep reading to see a list of potential fixes.
7 Easy Steps To Solve GGPoker Lagging Issues
Try these fixes for GGPoker lagging, one at a time:
- Check the GGPoker Support Twitter account for any news on outages.
- Restart all your network equipment: router, modem, repeater and so on.
- Make sure you have the latest version of the GGPoker app installed and restart it.
- If you have a firewall or security software, make sure it allows the GGPoker app to access the Internet.
- Restart your PC / smartphone.
- Reinstall the GGPoker app
- Contact GGPoker 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 Reduces GGPoker Lag with Two or More Internet Connections
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. For lag, Speedify’s Redundant mode sends the same data over every internet connection and uses whichever copy arrives first. 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 GGPoker keeps receiving your moves and the hand goes on.
Keep the GGPoker app updated, even with Speedify running. GGPoker’s rules ban VPNs and proxies that hide your location, so keep Speedify on a server in the country you are actually in. See also how to use a VPN for GGPoker.
In short, Speedify gives you a simple way to solve and avoid GGPoker lagging issues by using all of your available internet connections at once.
