why do some online blackjack games have way worse rules than others.
so i was messing around with some new blackjack tables and noticed some have way worse rules than others, like 6,5 payouts or no resplitting aces or the dealer hits soft 17. it’s wild how much those small differences can mess with the odds. you’d think online would offer better rules to attract people but i guess it’s just about profit for them.
is there a reason why some sites or tables make it so much harder for the player, or is it just to squeeze more money from casuals who don’t notice the rules? i usually stick to live dealer games where i can at least see what’s going on, but even there, i’ve seen some tables sneak in rough rules. does anyone have a list of “must avoid” table rules or red flags?

Something I always check is whether the site is licensed in a region with strict gaming regulations, not just a flashy license badge. Weak jurisdictions mean they can mess with rules on a whim and barely get a slap.
In my roulette reviews, I flag tables that list key rules in tiny print or only after you load in. Transparency is a major red flag. Anyone else feel like rule clarity upfront should be a minimum standard, not a rare bonus?
If a blackjack table hides rule changes behind tiny print, I treat it like a continuous shuffler and walk. Would anyone trust a site that doesn’t list payout details before you even sit down?
