1) First print off this page. Then, familiarise yourself with the blackjack rules and blackjack strategy by downloading the single deck strategy table from this site and playing with a real pack of cards. The best way to become accustomed to the blackjack game is to play free blackjack with either a real pack or using online blackjack software. Do not bother to card count because online blackjack shuffles the cards between each hand. It is perfectly ok to play without constantly referring to the blackjack strategy sheet since part of the fun can be to play blackjack instinctively. However, for a new player, it is unlikely that you will remember the correct card play in the same way that blackjack strategy will advise. You will be able to find further information on blackjack strategy on our site.
2) Set up an online bank account and request a debit card. For UK customers, we would suggest Smile for smooth running and efficiency. We would also suggest that you obtain a visa credit card or allocate an existing one. Some credit card companies are hesitant to allow online gaming deposits, whether you intend to play blackjack online or any other game, if so, use another card! This facility will allow you to make deposits into the Sterling casino sites and play online blackjack.
3) Join Neteller, an online Dollars holding account and become a ‘certified’ member as soon as possible. (This is done via a link on their web site. Neteller will ring you later so they can verify that you are who you claim to be. Once they have carried out this procedure you will be ‘certified’ and have a greater spending power). Make a small deposit into this account using your debit card or credit card. We would suggest that you deposit a few hundred pounds. Neteller will automatically make a currency exchange and transfer your deposit into dollars. Neteller do not have a problem with gaming transactions and you will be able to play blackjack using funds deposited into the dollar casino sites from this account.
4) Select a casino from the links within the ‘red hot’ section of our casino listing. Carefully browse the casino web site to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions of the sign up promotion. Ensure that you make a note of the total wagering requirements for the promotion and whether online blackjack is allowed within those terms and conditions. A number of casinos offer free blackjack. Do make a note of these because it will be useful practice later on.
5) In most cases, the online blackjack software is available as a download. Download it into your computer from the casino web site and it should automatically start. (If nothing happens after the download press ‘start’ then ‘documents’ and click on an obvious set up icon within the listing). You will see the casino icon or icons appear on your desktop. (If there are two icons you will have the opportunity to play free blackjack after you have registered your personal details through that icon. The other icon offers the facility to register as a ‘real play’ blackjack customer. If only one icon appears then usually this means you will be playing the blackjack game as a ‘real play’ blackjack customer).
6) Do not underestimate the benefit of playing online casino blackjack in the play for fun mode. It is important that you familiarise yourself with the online blackjack software by playing on this first. You will be able to apply your blackjack strategy at ease and subsequently feel more comfortable about stepping into the ‘real play’ mode. Occasionally a casino offers other kinds of blackjack such as Vegas Strip Blackjack or similar. Each type is marginally different and you may want to refer to our blackjack strategy page for information on the tiny differences between the game play.
7) Fill in the registration details within the ‘real play’ casino software. Be sure that the blackjack game features in the software (nearly all do) and that the promotional terms and conditions allow you to play blackjack in order to fulfil the wagering requirements. When you are satisfied that you can play online blackjack, make the appropriate deposit required for the promotion in either Dollars (via your Neteller account) or Sterling (via your debit or credit card). This will depend on whether the blackjack software you are intending to play is for a dollar casino blackjack, a sterling casino blackjack, or even a Euro casino blackjack. The blackjack rules differ marginally from casino to casino but do not make a significant difference to the blackjack strategy used.
8) For your first few ventures, keep your online blackjack wagering to sensible levels and always refer to the blackjack strategy sheet. After you have fulfilled the minimum wagering requirements for the promotion you can cash out or alternatively why not try some of your winnings on one of the online slot machines? There is always a chance of hitting the jackpot! Cash outs will be back to your dollars or sterling account. (Sometimes certain security information will be required by the casino operator to enable the cash out, such as a security number sent to you through the post or a proof of identity. Please accept this procedure as a protection for you).
9) Ensure that you keep a careful note of your user name, password, account number, deposit and receipt details. Many of the casinos offer monthly promotions and if you wish to play online blackjack or other games again you will need to log back in using the same user name.
10) Revisit the smartblackjack.co.uk site and try another casino in our listing via the link on the casino table. Remember to read the terms and conditions for the sign up promotion and ensure that blackjack is permissible. If not then there may be other games available such as video poker or slots. We try to keep our table as up to date as possible but the casino operators change these promotions quite frequently.
Please remember at all times that you should only gamble what you can afford to lose!
