At Demo Poker, we offer the most high-tech and secure Software system available anywhere. Our Software only works with our Demo Poker Servers. No other gaming site on the Web can share the same game rooms in Demo Poker.

3.3 - Sometimes during play, the connection seems to get interrupted or the game starts to go really slow. Why is this?
The communication between your machine and our servers has been optimized for the fastest response. However, if you feel that your game is going slow, most likely one of two things could be happening:

  1. The players on the table are taking a long time to make their move(s).

  2. Your connection to the Internet may be bad. Customer satisfaction is of primary importance to us. We will do everything possible to help you. Contact us and we will assist you directly.

If this happens, our Software will try to automatically re-connect you to the Internet and return you right back to your table. If the disconnection was only interrupted briefly, you'll get back in time to resume play as if nothing had happened, otherwise, it will be treated as a fold.
