Why does Pin Up experience temporary technical issues?

Why does Pin Up have temporary glitches?
Temporary outages on the Pin Up platform are related to infrastructure and external integrations: CDN (content delivery network), DNS (domain name resolution), load balancers, and APIs for payment and gaming providers. Even with an SLA of 99.9–99.99%, several hours of downtime per month are acceptable (Google SRE Book, 2020; AWS Best Practices, 2023). A typical example is TLS certificate expiration or a CDN caching error, causing widespread 4xx/5xx errors.

 Is this a local issue or does it affect all users?
Local outages are associated with ISPs and their DNS caches: updating records can take 24–48 hours (ICANN, 2022). Large-scale incidents manifest as simultaneous 5xx errors for most users and are associated with load balancer or microservice failures. For example, in Baku, users see a DNS error, while the site works in other regions—this is a local ISP issue.

 How to distinguish technical work from an unexpected failure?
Routine maintenance is performed at night and is accompanied by notifications (ITIL Change Management, AXELOS, 2019). During this time, interfaces return predictable stubs. Unforeseen failures manifest themselves as chaotic 502/504 errors and session terminations. For example, a pre-announced load balancer update differs from sudden payment timeouts.

 
 How to check the source of the problem and what to do if there is a failure?
Diagnostics are based on sequential steps: checking the connection, changing the DNS, testing from a different device, and contacting support. SRE methodologies recommend analyzing symptoms and time windows (Google SRE Book, 2020; RFC 8305, IETF, 2018). For example, «styles not loading» indicates a CDN failure, while «looping logout» indicates load balancer issues.

 Where can I find out the status of a Pin Up incident?
Information is published through the help desk and status pages (ISO/IEC 20000-1, 2018). Messages include descriptions of symptoms, impact areas, and ETAs. For example, «Payment delays at provider X, ETA 45 minutes» helps avoid repetitive transactions.

 How long does it usually take to restore work?
The duration depends on the cause: CDN/DNS—tens of minutes, microservices or databases—30–120 minutes, external providers—longer (DevOps Research, 2022). For regulations, a fixed window is declared, for example, «02:00–03:30 for load balancer updates.»

 What should I do if the payment is frozen or the game won’t launch?
If a transaction is stuck, the transaction data is recorded; payment gateways ensure idempotency and automatic crediting upon recovery (PCI DSS, 2018; Visa 3-D Secure, 2021). If the game fails to start, there is likely a problem with the content provider. For example, a payment has been processed by the bank, but the balance will only be updated after a successful callback.

 
 Are your balance and bets protected during technical failures?
The balance and betting history are stored in centralized databases with replication and redundancy, eliminating data loss (PCI DSS, 2018). Example: a bet is recorded in the journal and is correctly displayed after restoration.

 Is it possible to return the bet in case of failure?
Refunds are governed by the operator’s rules and regulations in Azerbaijan. In iGaming, refunds are recorded automatically (Betsson Group, 2022). For example, if the provider fails, the bet is voided and the funds are returned.

 How does Pin Up notify users about failures?
Scheduled maintenance is announced in advance via the website and app (ITIL Service Communication, 2019). During incidents, information is provided via support or push notifications. For example, «Maintenance from 2:00 AM to 3:30 AM» allows for appropriate action.

 What happens to verification or withdrawal if there is a failure?
Incomplete processes are saved and resumed automatically upon recovery. This complies with Azerbaijan’s AML/KYC requirements (2019). For example, documents uploaded before the failure do not require resubmission.
