Core FAQ

Getting Started

How do I play?

Go to the Game New page and you're in. No download, no sign-up required. Pick a chip value, hit Deal, and you're playing blackjack against the dealer and up to two bot opponents. The whole thing runs in your browser.

What devices work?

Anything with a modern browser. Desktop, laptop, tablet, phone — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, all fine. The layout adjusts to your screen. Phone works, bigger screen is more comfortable.

Do I need an account?

Nope. You can play right away. Your points reset when you close the tab. If you want to save progress across sessions, creating an account takes about thirty seconds — email and a password.

Game Mechanics

What are the rules?

Standard blackjack. Get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. Number cards = face value, face cards = 10, aces = 11 or 1. Hit for another card, stand to hold, double down to double your wager and get one more card. Dealer stands on 17. Blackjack pays 1.5x.

Who are the bots?

Up to two AI opponents playing at the same table. They follow their own strategy and make their own decisions. You can toggle them on or off before each hand. They don't affect your outcome — you're playing against the dealer, same as them.

What are honey points?

Virtual currency used for wagers. You start with a stack and try to grow it. They can't be bought, sold, or traded for anything real. If you run out, refresh for a new stack. They're just a way to keep score.

Safety and Money

Is real money involved?

No. Zero. None. There are no purchases, no microtransactions, no premium upgrades. The game is completely free. All points are virtual and exist only inside the game. Nobody pays for anything here.

Why the 18+ restriction?

The game uses wagering mechanics — picking chip values, placing wagers on outcomes, tracking wins and losses. None of it involves real money, but the pattern mirrors competitive gaming. We'd rather set the bar at 18 and keep it responsible from the start.
