Multi-Device Setup: How to Play with Multiple Devices
The ELO Darts website is fully responsive and adapts automatically to any screen size. Your Standard device is your main device — it's always required and runs the full game interface. Because smartphone screens are small, the Multi-Device feature lets you offload functions like video streaming or score entry to additional devices for a more comfortable experience. Use the setup wizard below to find your perfect setup.
