How does real-time sync work?

Quick Answer

Every transaction, balance change, and game event syncs instantly across all connected devices via our cloud infrastructure. When the banker processes a transaction, every player sees the updated balance on their screen within seconds.

Detailed Answer

Real-time sync ensures all players see the same data at the same time.

How it works technically:

PartyPot uses cloud-based real-time infrastructure
When the banker processes a transaction, the update is pushed to all connected devices simultaneously
Typical sync latency: under 1 second on good connections

What syncs in real-time:

Player balances (updated instantly after every transaction)
Transaction history (new entries appear on all devices)
Center Pot balance
Player join/leave notifications
Room status changes

Connection requirements:

Stable Wi-Fi (recommended) or mobile data
Works on 3G, 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi
Low bandwidth usage (~5MB per session
Handles brief connection drops gracefully

What happens during a disconnect:

If a player briefly loses connection, they'll auto-reconnect
Missed updates sync immediately upon reconnection
No data is lost — everything is stored on the server

Performance at scale:

Works smoothly with up to 20 simultaneous players
Tested across various network conditions
Optimized for mobile devices with limited bandwidth
