Card counting in an online Live Casino format is extremely difficult as the casino uses multiple decks shuffled automatically after every round via a Continuous Shuffling Machine (CSM). While card counting is not technically prohibited, the star 8 platform uses automated safeguards to detect unusual betting patterns. We recommend using a basic blackjack strategy that is certified – this alone is enough to bring the house edge to a minimum.

The key differences between these two popular variants:

• Texas Hold'em: Each player receives 2 private cards. Use any combination with the 5 community cards to form the best hand.
• Omaha: Each player receives 4 private cards, but must use exactly 2 from it together with exactly 3 of the 5 community cards.

Omaha tends to produce more strong hands, making it a more strategic game. Texas Hold'em is better suited for newer players. Visit the Poker page for the full guide.

Insurance is a side bet offered when the dealer's first card is an Ace. It lets you bet that the dealer has blackjack (a 21 with 2 cards). If the dealer does have blackjack, you receive a 2:1 payout on your insurance bet but lose the main bet. If the dealer does not have blackjack, you lose the insurance bet and play continues. From a basic strategy standpoint, blackjack experts generally recommend decline insurance as the house edge on these bets is high.

The private table feature for poker is currently in development at star 8. In the meantime, members can play with friends at public tables in the Poker. If you are interested in this feature, please reach out to our customer support team – your feedback will help us prioritise the development of new features.

Rake is a small commission taken by the platform from each pot in poker cash games. At Star 8, the standard rake rate is 5% of each pot with a maximum cap depending on the table limits.
