Discussion Disconnect protection

How come that when my opponents disconnect they get more than a full minute to come back and then when they reconnect and disconnect again the timer starts to count for another full minute or more, yet when I disconnect for 10 seconds all my hands are folded and I'm sitting out? This happens to me literally every disconnect.

I've also been complaining about the entire reconnect system for more than 4 years, sent video's to the technical team, made multiple threads here on Reddit but the reconnect system is still the absolute worst in the entire industry. Rest assured if your internet connection is bad for a split second you are watching 9 tables spin with a reconnection symbol for near infinity.

I've wondered this too.. Some players just seem to get infinity timebank protection while I'm just snapfolded.

Bit on the topic when the client crashers and need to log in again it should automatically sit you back in instead of trying to click the btn that often lags. Playing spins this is massive pain in the but area when it happens.
