I see on the Wizard of Odds website that the house edge for Free Bet Blackjack is 1.04%. At the casino that I play at, you can split aces only once (HE = 1.12%), and you only get one card with each ace (not sure what this does to the house edge). What is the house edge on this game if you utilize the perfect basic strategy that was created for this particular game (as shown on the Wizard of Odds web site)?

It would still be correct to split Aces even if you couldn't resplit so the strategy should be the same as given on the page ( https://wizardofodds.com/games/free-bet-blackjack/ ). In most Blackjack variants you cannot hit or double once you've split Aces, so I can't think of a reason why the House Edge isn't as given.
I haven't seen the game for a while but I believe in the UK it was infinite resplits, including Aces, and dealer s17.
