A money cap you can lose
Use cash you have already set aside for entertainment. Not rent, not a credit line, not someone else's money.
What we will and will not do
We teach blackjack because the math is knowable. That is not the same as telling you to bet. We will not pretend that a chart, a count, or a “system” makes gambling safe.
- Free play is practice
- The tables and trainers on this site use fake chips. They exist so you can learn decisions. They are not a bankroll and they are not a payout.
- The house keeps an edge
- Even with perfect basic strategy, blackjack is a negative-expectation game for the player. Our guides say so on purpose.
- Casino reviews are for adults
- When we list real-money casinos, it is for people who already choose to play and who can afford to lose what they stake. It is not an instruction to deposit, and it is not a statement that the casino holds a Danish licence.
- No under-18 marketing
- This site is for adults. We use 18 as the line. We do not want accounts, comments, or traffic from anyone under 18.
Rules that keep play in bounds
If you do play for money, decide the limits before the first hand. Write them down if that helps. The point is that the session ends when the plan says so, not when the cards “owe you.”
A time cap
Set a clock. Long sessions make chasing losses easier to justify.
Never chase
A losing streak is not a debt the table will repay. Raising bets to “get even” is how small losses become damaging ones.
Do not borrow to play
If you need a card, a payday loan, or a friend to keep playing, you are already past a safe line. Stop.
Do not play while intoxicated
Alcohol, exhaustion, or a "having a tough week" can all help justify bad decisions.
Wins are not a plan
A good night does not prove you have an edge. Treat a win the same as a loss: the session still ends.
Warning signs
You do not need a diagnosis to take a problem seriously. If several of these are true, get help even if you still “win sometimes.”
- You hide how much time or money you spend.
- You gamble with money meant for bills, food, or rent.
- You feel restless or angry when you are not playing.
- You lie to family or friends about it.
- You borrow, sell things, or chase after a loss.
- You have tried to cut back but did not.
- Gambling is how you cope with stress, boredom, or shame.
- Work, school, or sleep is slipping because of it.

Under 18
Real-money gambling is for adults. On this site we treat 18 as the line. That is the age for gambling on sites licensed in Denmark. If you are under 18, do not create an account, do not use our casino links, and do not treat the free tables as practice for staking money.
Parents and caregivers: the free games here still look like casino play. If a minor is using them to rehearse betting, that is a conversation worth having. BørneTelefonen will talk to a young person on 116 111. Full policy: underage gambling.
Questions
Does learning strategy make gambling responsible?
No. Strategy is about making fewer expensive mistakes. The bet can still hurt you. Responsible play is about whether you should be betting at all, and what you do when you lose.
Do black-jack.net games have a real bankroll?
No. Bankroll on this site is fake. A reset to your buy-in is not a win. If fake chips are starting to feel like a score you need to protect, take a break from the tables here too.
Will you tell a casino I called a helpline?
No. StopSpillet is run by the Danish Gambling Authority. We do not receive those calls and we do not share your activity on this site with anyone unless required by law.
Is StopSpillet open all night?
No. The phone is open Monday to Thursday 09:00-21:00 and Friday 09:00-17:00. Chat is weekday evenings. Saturday and Sunday the line is closed. If you are in crisis outside those hours, call Livslinien on 70 201 201. In immediate danger, call 112.
Does ROFUS cover every casino on the internet?
No. ROFUS covers operators with a Danish licence, land-based casinos in Denmark, and betting at physical retailers for registrations made from 1 October 2023. A casino that is not licensed in Denmark is outside that register. StopSpillet can still talk to you about that play.
