    How is it allowed? It’s their casino. They’re there to make money off you, which is why everything stacks in their favor and any games involving any actual skill are hobbled severely and using any gets you banned.

    Now if you ask “how are casinos allowed” I’ll ask right along with you. They are immoral and predatory - not literal fraud but it gets close, and either way it’s treating people with addiction as cash cows.

      This isn’t universally true, though. For example, in America there was a New Jersey supreme court case that concluded that discrimination against card counters is not allowed, so they use tricks to make life harder for card counters.

      Most places will let a casino choose to accept or reject customers at will (as long as there is no illegal discrimination of course) but laws are different all over the world. If you’re smart enough to count cards, you’re smart enough to look up local laws and you’re smart enough to know what games are rigged against your favour.

        Not even remotely true. Smart people can be incredibly dumb.
