Here the question is, have you ever seen a user getting banned from an online casino for card counting?

To be clear, card counting isn't a method to always win, it's just a method to have better odds.

Its possible for live casinos with high Al initiatives because most of those casinos uses Face detection models to track every activity done on your screen time to avoid cheating, But for regular online casinos i don't think the have what it takes to detect you counting cards

Casino sites won't be able to track whether you're counting cards. It will also be hard for them to monitor it. However, it isn't an effective strategy anymore, especially in online casinos. Casino sites somehow know how to counter it by reshuffling the cards multiple times so if ever you'll count it, you won't have an accurate guess. I used to apply this strategy at an early age in casinos but it isn't as effective as before anymore.

and with this happening for long years now? casino knows how to counter this strategy of gamblers so i don't think there are reason for the site to lose from these players and also it wasn't prohibited in gambling or casinos lol.
but of course they will protect their funds so indeed banning or throwing out players with this? is indeed happening till now.

It’s really not illegal in the law but it’s not allowed even on real casino. What casino do you know that allows card counting? You will be ejected in the casino and confiscated all your chips if they find out that your counting cards because this method is proven working before that’s why they introduced continuous shuffling method.

Either way, Any signs that you are trying to do this will make you eject in the casino. You can try it for yourself and visit your local casino.

To be honest.... I do not even think card counting was possible with digital games...    It might be possible with games that are live streamed, but the card shuffling for digital games should be nearly impossible.

I think... if you do card counting with games that are live streamed, casinos will pick it up and your actions will be flagged. We know people are restricted in Sport betting.... so casinos does respond, if they pick up that players are doing something that gives them an unfair advantage.

I've read about card counting on physical casinos it's old news but card counting online is new to me, how can that be possible, and do these casinos have a way to check if one of their users is engaged in card counting, they might falsely accuse their users if they restrict their members from counting cards, so far I have not seen one comes out posting that he was restricted for card counting, unless I see one report I don't think its possible to do card counting online.

I don't think there is someone willing to risk to see if they will get banned on using a card counting technique. Even though it is not illegal, the online casino can easily disable withdrawal on their account if they noticed something suspicious on their betting activity where they have a consistent win-lose ratio. I'm pretty sure that you will avoid complying to their KYC since you are aware of using a method to have an advantage.

Card counting is legal, no government law or rules are against card counting and nothing would lead to arrest if found that any gambler do that, that is where it is legal. But not legal in casinos, if anyone is found doing card counting, the person would be barred from the casino. I do not know much about online casinos, but what I said is about physical casinos. Online casinos is online and not physical, for gamblers to do card counting would be difficult, unlike on physical casinos.

I have read an article about card counting in an online casino and it stated that it is possible for a player to get banned due to successful card counting. The article also stated that the casino has all the right to ban a player whom they think to be a risk.  That may be unfair for the player but it is the right of a casino to block anyone they think will cause them big losses.

this article[1]  explains online card counting and the possible grounds, I quoted some information that is related to the topic.

Yes, a Live Dealer Casino Will Ban You for Successful Card Counting
Like any other type of casino, live dealer gaming sites are in the business to make profits. They have the right to ban any player whom they deem to be a risk.

That said, live dealer casinos will ban you for card counting. They have software running algorithms that can detect when you’re a highly profitable player.

As I’ll discuss later, though, live dealer blackjack card counting is difficult. You need to combine enough deck penetration with a technique called “wonging in.”

Wonging in refers to when you count cards while not seated at the table. You then jump into the middle of a shoe when the count becomes highly favorable.

In short, live dealer blackjack is beatable under perfect circumstances. You can make long-term profits in this case, but you also risk being banned from a live dealer casino.

What Happens When You Get Banned?
When a live dealer gaming site bans you, they’ll send an email detailing their decision. They normally offer a chance to withdraw your funds, provided you haven’t cheated in any way.

You’ll likely only be prohibited from the live dealer casino where you’re counting cards. However, you could also be banned from all products offered by the live dealer studio that’s serving the casino.

That could be unfair if you are tagged as cheater and yet you are not doing anything against the rules and you are just lucky by that time, I'm sure you can still contest it but it will take a lot of time before you get the answer from them. The system can beat after all, that card counting has been a problem of many site and casinos but since technology is growing, they also adopt it and make it more advance to protect their own interest and the business. Card counting seems too risky, I'd rather lose that to get banned for good.

Well, if a gambler keeps winning for a long time it will light an alert signal on the casino side, driving their attention to that gamblers specifically. They will investigate why he is winning so much and take action against him, probably inviting him to leave the house. I'm not sure if this kind of thing has happened in legit online casinos platforms, but there are some stories it has happened at land based ones.

I guess if it's counting cards or any other trick it is just an excuse. The goal is to remove the 'lucky' player from the casino.

If the casino bans or kicks out lucky players, it will instantly go bankrupt, as everyone will know about it. In fact, the casino, on the contrary, is interested in the appearance of lucky ones - for this, jackpots and all sorts of promotions are invented where, for any outcome, some random player is guaranteed to receive a big prize. This attracts other players and builds the reputation of the casino. And at the same time, the casino does not remain at a loss because there are a hundred or a thousand losers for one lucky player, that is, the casino actually gives back only a small part of what it received from the players.

It's easy to spot those players who's just lucky or doing card count(assuming they really can) because lucky people don't win consistently on all of It's session while card counting playing do win most of the time. So even if you are not card counting but you are winning big time as if you are cheating then there still a chance that casino will ban you since you are not profitable to there business. Most of the casino has this kind of rules to protect there business on people that getting huge profit from them.

Card counting helps to reveal the probabilities of a trace card falling out. This can help you win in some cases, but not always. In addition, the casino does not have the tools to identify gamblers who use card counting in their game. Ban gamblers without some kind of evidence base, no one will, as in this situation, the casino will be left without gamblers and therefore no profit.

No, this will not happen and anyone who understands the basic concept of card counting would know that already. Firstly, if you're playing a virtual game of blackjack (as opposed to a "live stream") then every hand is randomly calculated and there is essential no deck available to count at any stage, the house controls the algorithm entirely and will always end up the long term winner. Secondly, if you are playing a live game they will be presenting a version of the game that does not allow for card counting because they have no way to prevent it like they would by kicking someone out from a physical casino - they will simply reshuffle the whole deck (or multiple decks) every single hand or some other method that will nullify card counting techniques.

Anything that can give an advantage to users they will not allow, that's how offline casinos work they want to make money while gamblers should only play for entertainment

Here the question is, have you ever seen a user getting banned from an online casino for card counting?

Like all the others here it's not even possible you can always contest if they accuse you of card counting because casinos have no proven system to detect if you are card counting, they can only assume you are if you can, but they cannot provide proof.

To be clear, card counting isn't a method to always win, it's just a method to have better odds.

It's gambling even the odds you have is not a guarantee that the card will be in your favor and it's hard to do card counting, you need a deep concentration and focus to do it.

I haven't seen one physically but I have watched clips about it. This is actually a skill if you can do it. Memorizing is a big problem about it.
You have to be keen on how many cards came out and what those cards are so you can filter what's left.

I think casinos will realize that you are counting if you stop betting when you know you will not win that round.
Then there's the amount you bet for, if you try to cut some of your bets to lower numbers when you know you will lose, that's when you will get caught.

If it is possible for someone to count the cards then its allowed and no one will get banned in an online casino cause they never know. But online casinos are still evolving and they are making changes to have even chance in fair way for every players for example reshuffling the cards after certain period in live table on some of the casinos.

How can the casino know that I'm counting cards? Even if I count cards it does not give any guarantees of winning as each card comes into my hands completely randomly. In fact, most players try to count cards, but of course not everyone is good at it, because we all have different memories. Prove that I count cards will not work so if you are accused of it, you can safely deny it.

Here the question is, have you ever seen a user getting banned from an online casino for card counting?

Card counting is often seen in gambling games, which are often found and seen in casino blackjac games, in general people think good card counting can increase the opportunities and advantages of bookies.

But many casinos don't like the practice of users doing the card counting method, many of whom think it's illegal, in fact it's not, although I have not seen users counting cards directly banned in online casinos, but I believe, if online casinos were controlled by dealers, I believe they would be kicked out and blocked.

I also believe that if an online casino user is detected counting cards in a casino, I'm sure they will be blocked and the balance will be frozen, even though they know what they are doing is a bad thing.

The last time I remember this was asked they said you could get banned for it and I think it's better to assume that way so you don't get surprised if the casino suddenly gives you that kind of punishment. But still, like what the others have said with the multiple decks it might be better to look for another solution than to continue relying on card counting since that's how most online blackjack tables operate nowadays.

I seriously doubt that the gambling establishment would ban/prohibit card counting.

These types of games are created in order to combat any possible threat of having an advantage on your side. Card counting is something that is natural for a person to do- creating advantages out of difficult situations. In addition, card counting most likely will not have such an effect compared to other techniques used that is why I seriously doubt that the online gambling website would take it against you.
