Call me crazy?

I've been playing blackjack on an online casino. It has the best bj odds I've ever seen, dealer stands all 17s and you can split Aces like any other split. Early surrender is offered and double on any two cards, obviously bj pays 3 to 2.

It also supposedly deals from a electronically created shoe, instead of shuffling between every hand like most online casinos.

My question is, theoretically, this should be susceptible to card counting right? How dumb would I have to be to try to card count this?

Would it be against the rules to post my referral code if anyone else wants to check it out?

They would probably deny you a cash out if you beat them counting. And yes, it's against the rules and at minimum the referral would be removed. You might also get banned.

You can PM me your link and ill take a look at it. There is a very small chance I will make an account there, but it's not zero. If I think the place is a rip-off joint, I will post the casino's name and suggest people stay away.

Thanks for the replies so to answer my primary question this should be susceptible to card counting?

should be susceptible to card counting?

How many decks in the "electronically created shoe"?
When do they shuffle?
Do you see all the cards dealt?

Per your request, you're crazy*.

1.The random seed from server side generates hash1 first, hash1 is the card sequence;

2.Use hash1 to generate hash2 and hash2 is public;

3.After the round is finished, the hash1 and the card sequence of the round will be public;

The single deck shuffling logic
Use seed for shuffling

The shuffling steps are as follows:

Create a deck of cards named ß, the card is sequenced as spade A-K，heart A-K， club A-K and diamond A-K.
Hash256 the seed to get the hash value, which will be used as the weight of the first card (spade A) in the card ß
Delete the first bit of the hash value and add it back as the last character of the hash value（for example 54321 to 43215）， the new hash value will be used as the weight of the second card of ß (Spades 2)
Repeat step 2 to calculate the weight for all the card in ß
Finally, shuffle ß according to the corresponding weights of the cards, from small to large. The reordered cards is the shuffled ß.
The shuffling logic for multiple decks
When multiple decks need to be shuffled:

First shuffle the first deck and perform the single deck shuffle steps 2-4.
Use the hash value of the first deck as the seed for the second deck, then shuffle the second deck by the performing the single deck shuffle steps 2-4.
Use the hash value of the second deck as the seed for the third deck, then shuffle the second deck by the performing the single deck shuffle steps 2-4.
By analogy, all the cards from the decks will have their weight, and finally put all cards together and perform the fourth step of the single deck shuffling logic for sorting.

I have yet to really check out their reputation, I did do a quick search on LCB but didn't really find anything substantial as of yet.

It's a big casino with lots going on, they have their own games like the just dice type of stuff where you are playing in crypto. Some of their games are "provably fair".

I'm not sure if the blackjack is their own software or not. It seems to be a multiplayer game where you could watch and jump in and out. I won't use the term wong in and out since I dont yet know if you can tell when it shuffles or anything like that.


they also use 3rd party software games where you are playing in USD.



As I said, there is a ton going on with lots to pour through, such as... Is there a verification process or is everything paid out instantly? It seems like quite the chore if you wanted to figure everything out.

Previously, they were not open to the US, but I'm not sure about now or if a VPN will do the trick.
I noticed they had a blog spot, forum and chat room(someone was begging for money in the chat room)

They do have lots of bonuses, rake back, I think they are bonuses that release a small percentage as you play but I'm not really sure I didn't dig that far in.

I will say they seem to have ave a very comprehensive directory and help center. At first glance, it's a much better/more inserting place than I anticipated.

It shows you when it's shuffling, it's a 12 deck shoe with the cut card placed at 3 decks, but theres a card countdown to tell you when the shoe will end. Obviously not optimal for card counting but I like the site and if possible I might play around trying to count it.

All of my cashouts have been instant but I'm sure if it's a big enough cashout they'll manual verify it most of my cashouts are a couple hundred bucks.

I haven't seen anything about US players being banned, I'm in US and don't use a VPN and haven't had any problems and alot of people in chat are openly from US.

Thanks for your analysis on the shuffling although it did partly go over my head.

You didn't have to get verified or anything when making your first cash out?

... You said it.

157 cards is a lot to draw 4 from. That's shuffling up with 50% more cards left than a double deck game starts with.

I would characterise the shuffle as strong and fair; think a 60+ second wash on a single deck if you need a physical analog.

Not that I noticed, I always cashout in TRX which is a pretty fast and cheap crypto to send around. I usually get cashed out in under 2 minutes, I'd estimate.

I actually looked in my wallet history, and my first cashout took 17 minutes, my 2nd took just under 2 minutes and my last one took 6 seconds. Each was between $100-300.

At first I just thought you were only here trying to get some "free money" advertizing your affiliate/refer a friend link at some rip-off joint with some clever card counting tactic. Nothing wrong with trying to make a buck, but you should ask the administration next time.
Anyways, thanks for the detailed answers. I'm now under the impression you are legit playing there and had a legit question.

To save me some time, did you take any bonuses, if so, how did they work?

Yea I primarily came here to ask a question, and if I get any affiliates too its just a nice bonus.

Yea I try to utilize all the bonuses; Theres the deposit bonus which is just a little extra rakeback; Then actual rakeback which is 5-15% depending on your vip level.

The daily wheel spin; which you will mostly get their freeplay chips, but you can use those to boost your rakeback 5%, pay cashout fees, and theres supposed to be a shop that they're gonna add which you will be able to buy stuff in it with. You also have a chance at winning real money cryptos but it's somewhat rare, and generally small amounts.

Theres the recharge which gives you an amount every day or hour or 10 minutes (your choice) based on how much you wagered the previous week.

You get a bonus each time you level your vip up, starts at under a buck but at the level im at I get $25.

Then some smaller bonuses that aren't tied to how much you've recently wagered, like 4 times a day their mascot comes up sometime in a 20 minute window and you get a small amount based on your vip level for clicking him, starts at like a cent so it's not much. Then the roll game is a daily 1 in 99 shot to get a share of 260 doge coin.

Theres a chance to "catch rain" from chat which is pretty nominal but sometimes people drop larger rains.

Then they sometimes have contests and giveaways in the forum but I don't really follow those much.

Not exactly a bonus but you get %5 interest on your cryptos in their bank, and %10 on their USD tied crypto. Which is nice if you like holding crypto or want a fairly low risk 10% on your cash (compounds daily).

Most of these bonuses you have to get a certain vip lvl to get, but it's pretty fast leveling up in the beginning.
