FAQs
Do online blackjack games have minimum and maximum bets?
Online blackjack games have bet limits. The game companies that create blackjack titles want to give as realistic an experience as possible, which includes adding bet limits. Live blackjack games also have bet limits to manage cash flow and help players find a game that suits their bankroll.
Does online blackjack offer the same odds of winning as blackjack in brick-and-mortar casinos?
Yes; the rules, gameplay, and objective are identical, so there are no differences from that perspective. Casinos will adjust table rules just as often in online blackjack as at the tables in their brick-and-mortar sites, too.
Is online blackjack more rigged?
As long as players choose licensed, reputable casinos, then the online blackjack games won’t be rigged. These authorities, like the American Gaming Association (AGA), regularly inspect a casino’s games for fair play and randomness, so players can trust they’re legit.

Is online blackjack worth playing?
Online blackjack games are available 24/7 and are flexible enough to suit any bankroll or time limit. The gameplay is identical and in live blackjack games, you can join tables alongside players from all over the world. For those that live far away from a brick-and-mortar casino or prefer playing casino games on the move, then online blackjack is a good option.
Can I find as many variants of blackjack online compared to what brick-and-mortar casinos offer?
Players can find all their favorite variations of blackjack online, and more. Many online casinos launch exclusive blackjack titles with game companies that you won’t find in brick-and-mortar establishments.
What is the best blackjack game to play online?
This depends on your gameplay preferences. If you want speedy, single-player games, then RNG-powered blackjack games are your best option. If it’s an immersive experience with other players that you prefer, then live blackjack is your ideal game.
Is there any etiquette I need to follow in live blackjack games?
The biggest faux pas players make in live blackjack games is taking too long to bet, as this slows the game down for others. If you’re running the clock down, expect the live dealer to prompt you to make a decision. Some live casinos add a countdown timer to betting to ensure players maintain a steady pace in the game.
