While the convenience and anonymity of online blackjack are appealing, there are some downsides to consider. Without seeing real cards being dealt, it's hard to get a feel for the game's rhythm and flow. The social aspects of a brick-and-mortar casino are missing too. Additionally, some card counting systems don't translate well online. And with more players crammed into fewer virtual tables, improper play by others can slow down the whole game. While online blackjack fills a need, for this player nothing beats the experience of a real casino pit.

Advantage play techniques, such as card counting and shuffle tracking, can give you an edge over the casino. However, these techniques are not possible in online blackjack because the cards are shuffled after every hand. The speed of the game can lead to faster losses. Online blackjack games tend to be played much faster than in land-based casinos. This means that you can lose money faster if you are not careful.
