Card counting is ineffective in online blackjack because most online casinos use automatic shuffling machines or virtual shufflers that randomize the deck after each hand, making it impossible to track cards over multiple rounds. Additionally, many online games use multiple decks, which further reduces the effectiveness of counting. Even in live dealer games, shuffling is often randomized or done in ways that prevent card counting. Online casinos also have sophisticated algorithms to detect unusual betting patterns, which can lead to account suspensions. Therefore, card counting is not a viable strategy for online blackjack.

You are absolutely correct. Online blackjack presents several obstacles that make traditional card counting techniques ineffective. The use of automatic shufflers or virtual shufflers that randomize the deck after each hand makes it very challenging to track cards over multiple rounds. Furthermore, the prevalence of multiple decks being used in online games adds another layer of complexity that makes card counting less accurate.
Even in live dealer games, where physical cards are used, shuffling procedures can be designed to prevent card counting. Online casinos also employ advanced algorithms to monitor player behavior, including betting patterns, to detect potential advantage players. Suspicious activity, such as consistent and large swings in bet sizes, may trigger investigation and potential account suspensions.
Given these factors, it is safe to say that card counting is not a practical or reliable strategy for online blackjack. Players may find more success by focusing on sound basic strategy, proper bankroll management, and taking advantage of any bonuses or promotions offered by online casinos. Thank you for pointing out these important factors to consider when discussing the feasibility of card counting in online blackjack.

Many online platforms use multiple decks and shuffle them frequently, further diminishing the advantages of card counting. While the technique can still theoretically work in some online variations where cards aren't shuffled after every hand, the practical challenges and countermeasures employed by casinos make it a less feasible strategy in the online environment.
