Is it safe to play blackjack online?

This is the number one question we are asked all the time. And the answer is that yes, it is. Computer dealt online blackjack decks use random number generators (RNGs) to shuffle the cards. Independent third party statisticians test and certify these RNGs to ensure that the shuffles are fully random and fair. For those of you that prefer their games played live, you can find live dealer “cam” games that are run under the jurisdiction of regulators like the UK Gambling Commission or the Malta Gaming Authority.

That said, there are thousands of online casinos offering various games of blackjack, all eager to take your money. As you can imagine with that amount of competition there are bound to be shady sites that don’t run a fair game or that won’t pay when you win. These are often termed rogue casinos and boy, have we come across a few of these over the past 20 years. So you can believe us when we say that our pain can be your gain.

We test and review online casinos

We regularly test all of the casinos that we recommend here at OnlineBlackjack.com with our mystery shoppers. They play with real money to verify that the casino offers fair games and pays out in a timely manner. We always stick to casinos that have proven to be trustworthy over multiple years of operation. And we refuse to endorse fly-by-night or brand new casinos with no track record.

But don’t just take our word for it. If you want a second opinion on any of the casinos that we recommend, take a look at some of today’s most well known and respected casino reviewers such as Casino Listings or the Wizard of Odds. See what they have to say about the casinos we recommend. We are confident in our experience and expertise, and in our ability to pick a good casino and a good game of online blackjack.

RNG or live dealer blackjack?

It is fair to say that both forms of online blackjack have their own set of pros and cons. Factors working in favour of the random number generator games include the speed of the deal, variety of rules, low table limits, and an unlimited availability of tables. But there are many players that maintain a vehement skepticism of RNG shuffled games or video blackjack.

Live dealer blackjack is the natural answer to this skepticism. Though slower paced, games broadcast via camera allow you see the shuffle and deal, and to chat with the dealer while you play. Not to mention avoiding the smoke or that annoying guy who is always on third base at your local casino! We have detailed information on live dealer blackjack and recommendations of where to play right here at OnlineBlackjack.com.
