Is Card Counting in Blackjack Legal?

September 24th, 2008

The subject of card counting in blackjack has come into question lately, most often with regard to its legality. While the practice is generally frowned on and even discouraged by many casinos, it is actually allowed by law in virtually all places in the world where blackjack is played.

The simple fact of the matter is that card counting is a technique that anyone who plays blackjack can utilize without any special skills or tricks. Nevada courts have themselves officially announced that blackjack players can utilize any information that they can acquire legally and is not obtained through a conspiracy between the individual players or casino personnel, and that includes card counting. In fact, if a player sees the dealer’s hole card accidentally, he or she can use this information without being in violation of any laws.

Many casinos in Nevada do have the right to ban a player for any reason whatsoever. While there currently exists no official law against card counting, a few blackjack players have been banned from playing at the blackjack table for this very reason. In some instances, players who have insisted on playing after being banned from the blackjack table have even been forcibly ejected from the premises.

Just as in any other money making endeavor, if you want to assess blackjack’s potential as a way to make a living, you will have to consider a few important factors. These are: your knowledge and skill in the game, the bankroll you have at your disposal, and the risk involved. You should have all of these issues well thought out even before you sit down at that table.

Here is an example that can help put things in perspective. Even if you are a really good online blackjack player with a bankroll of about $1000, the best that you can do is to make a few dollars an hour by playing blackjack, or you may be headed for financial disaster.
