While card counting is prohibited online, basic strategy is permissible and provides a significant advantage.

Know when to hit, stand, double, split or surrender based on your cards and the dealer's exposed card. Always split aces and eights, never split fives or tens. Double down on 11 unless the dealer has an ace.

Stand on 17 or more, hit 16 or less. If dealt a soft 17 or more (A7), hit. If the dealer is showing a 7 or higher, stand. For a 2-6, hit 16-21, stand 12-15.

Apply this basic strategy at the virtual table and your blackjack winnings will grow, just as in the casino. The house may use different rules online but the core strategies remain essentially the same. Practice makes perfect at any blackjack game.
