Our stance

Responsible Gambling

Black-Jack.Net exists so people can learn how blackjack works and practice for free. It is not a way to make money. The house has an edge. Strategy lowers that edge. It does not remove it, and it does not turn gambling into an income plan.

If you play for real money, you should be able to walk away. When gambling starts to cover bills, mood, or sleep, it has stopped being a game. Stop. The Consultation Centre of Gambling Addiction (Hasartmängusõltuvuse Nõustamiskeskus) will talk to you, and it will talk to someone who is worried about you. Counselling is free. We do not receive the call.

Before it gets worse

Set a limit you can lose
Decide the money and the time before you open a cashier. When either one is gone, stop. Do not move the number because the last hand felt close.
Take a break
A session that runs through sleep, work, or a bill is already too long. Close the table. The cards will still be there.
No under-21 marketing
We do not write casino pages for anyone under 21, and we do not dress blackjack as a way for a student to make rent.
Don't chase
A loss is not a debt the next shoe owes you. Raising the bet to get even is how a bad hour becomes a bad month.

If you play for money

1

Before you play

Pick an amount you can afford to lose and a time you will stop. Do not play to cover a bill, a mood, or a debt.

2

While you play

Stick to the limit. Do not drink through it. Do not open a second cashier because the first one said no.

3

If it stops being fun

Stop. Call 15410, Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 18:00. You can also put yourself on the Tax and Customs Board's gambling restriction list.

Where to get help in Estonia

Call 15410, Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 18:00. The line is run by the Consultation Centre of Gambling Addiction. Counselling is free for players and for people close to them. You can also write to [email protected]. Written counselling is free, and they aim to answer within three working days. The centre's site is 15410.ee.

15410 is not open at night. For emotional support, call 116 123 every day from 10:00 to 24:00. The call is free, and you can speak Estonian, Russian, or English. It is run by the Social Insurance Board. If you are thinking about ending your life, Eluliin is open every evening from 19:00 to 07:00 on 655 8088. If someone is in immediate danger, call 112.

You can restrict your own gambling through the Tax and Customs Board. The list is called HAMPI. It covers games of chance, including casino games, toto, and classical lotteries. It does not cover scratch tickets. You choose a term from 6 to 36 months. You cannot shorten it or cancel it early. When the term ends, you stay on the list until you apply to be removed. Only you can file it. A family member cannot file it for you.

You set it in e-MTA under Registers and inquiries, then Registration, then Registration of gambling restrictions. You can also file it at a Tax and Customs Board service bureau or at an Estonian gaming location. A restriction filed in e-MTA takes effect no later than the day after you submit it. A filing at a bureau or a gaming location takes effect within two working days. Operators authorised to operate in Estonia have to refuse you. A restriction on that list does not close an account at a casino that does not use it. The Tax and Customs Board explains the steps at emta.ee.

A limit you set with one casino does not close an account that casino does not run. We cannot self-exclude you from an operator. We do not take bets, and we cannot reverse a deposit.

A listing is not a licence

A casino listing on this site is not a statement that the casino holds an Estonian licence. Read the review, then read the operator's own terms before you deposit.

Questions

Does Black-Jack.Net hear that call?

No. The call goes to the counselling centre. We do not receive it, and we cannot see who called.

Can you block me from a casino?

No. We do not run those sites. You can restrict your own gambling on the Tax and Customs Board list, and you can ask each casino you use to close your account.

Is the practice on this site real money?

No. The tables here use fake chips. They are for learning. They are not a bankroll.
