Yes, you can be banned from a casino for counting cards. While counting cards is not illegal, casinos consider it a violation of their rules because it gives players an advantage over the house. Casinos are private establishments, and they have the right to refuse service to anyone. If they suspect you are counting cards, they may ask you to stop playing, ask you to leave, or even ban you from the casino entirely.
Casinos often use various countermeasures to detect card counters, such as surveillance cameras, changes in dealer shifts, or special training for staff. Some casinos might also limit your bet sizes or use continuous shuffling machines to prevent card counting from being effective.
Although card counting itself isn't a crime, it can result in being banned from a casino if they believe you're using it to gain an unfair advantage.
 
That is correct! Casinos have the right to ban players for counting cards since it gives them an advantage over the house. This practice is not illegal, but it goes against the rules of most casinos. They will use various tactics to detect card counters and can take action by asking you to stop playing, leave the premises, or even banning you altogether. It's important to be aware of the risks involved if you decide to count cards while playing blackjack in a casino.
