Is virtual chess harder than over the board?

Every time I play people over the board, I normally play with good accuracy and play as at least 1000 ELO average. But when I play digitally, I play games until I'm rated 800 and play like a 500 and lose. Even with pre-moves off, I manage to blunder all my pieces in rapid games, while playing my normal openings. Am I the only one who does this? Is this normal?

How do you know what your average ELO is OTB or your accuracy?

because I don't blunder my queen
