Live Online Casino Technical Requirements

Almost anyone in the modern world has a computer with an internet connection. Most of us use computers at work and at home for a variety of tasks and leisure activities.

Many of the things we do on the internet do not have serious technical requirements in terms of the operating system we use, our computer's processing capabilities and the speed of our internet connection.

However if we choose to join an online casino and take part in the Live Online Casino Games certain technical requirements have to be met before we are able to do so.

Most online casinos offer players two options for playing; downloading the casino software onto your computer or using the flash no-download casino that usually offers fewer games and fewer betting options.

Both these options will tend to require a Windows operating system and some work on Mac as well. You will also need to have a Flash player installed and a good internet connection. Most online casinos will even work using a 56K dial-up connection, although broadband will be much better.

When it comes to playing games in Live Online Casino most sites claim that the minimum requirement is 500Kbps, although we would not recommend using a broadband connection of less than 1Mbps.

The reason a fast broadband connection is needed is due to the constant streaming of a live video feed. Such streaming would suffer setbacks and hiccups such as continuous buffering and freeze frames and will not allow for a smooth image vision.

In case you are unsure of your internet speed we recommend an online tool you can use to test your speed. Simply visit SpeedTest and click begin test. This service is given free and can test your internet speed at any given time. It will display your actual speed rather than the speed your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is claiming you have.

Assuming you found out that your internet speed is inadequate you can then contact your ISP and upgrade your connection to a speed level that will support playing Live Online Casino games.
