Timeout vs Checkmate

Is there a difference in the points you lose between being checkmated and running out of time?

Recently, I kept on running into opponents who either just kept the time running or attempted to disconnect from the game when they know that they already lost. Somehow, I feel that I get less points when they do that? Or perhaps I am mistaken?

You're mistaken. Win is win.

No, a win is a win.  Your opponents are just being childish.

        In online chess there is a click-on for details and through it you can "show rating adjustment". This tells you how many points you will win or lose.

Regardless how you win, you get the same amount of points.
