Our software is free and you may play for Fun or with Real Money.

Casino:
BeTheDealer created a small revolution in online gambling. The casino gives each player the options of either playing the traditional role of Player or to play as the Dealer and receive some of the favorable odds reserved solely for the casino. You can actually feel the thrill and excitement of being the dealer. You do have to pay 1.5% for this honor, but it is worth it.

Bonus:
They have just sweetened their first deposit bonus. They now offer a 100% bonus to a maximum of $90. (e.g. deposit $90 receive a $90 bonus) They also offer 200% bonus credit points to be used to be the dealer.
The wagering requirement is a fair 30 times the deposit and bonus amount ($90 + $90) x 30 = $5400. All blackjack play can be used towards your wagering requirements.
Every month this casino offers good ongoing bonus offers that include daily, weekly and monthly promotions. I really like the special days when they offer extra bonuses for special hands. My favorite is the special where they pay 2 to 1 for a blackjack instead of 3 to 2. This gives you a huge advantage over the house.
Bonuses are instant. Only Roulette and Baccarat do not count towards the bonus. They have a comp program in that you have the option of cashing in your dealer points that you receive for your deposits and your bets.

Playing as Dealer:
Before you are allowed to play as a dealer, you must accumulate enough credit points and have sufficient funds in your account to cover the maximum win of your opponent. You earn one credit point for every dollar wagered as a Player, so you need to spend time as a Player before becoming a dealer.

Play this game for a while and you will find out why online gaming establishments can give big bonuses and still make a profit. I have always seen small time players playing badly but what really surprised me is seeing players betting $350 a hand not playing anything close to basic strategy (like standing on 13, 14, 15 against a dealer 10). Some players give up a 5-10% edge to the dealer.

When playing as a Dealer, a commission of 1.5% of the amount bet is collected from the Dealer. This percentage leaves your plenty of room to make some money. If you are any sort of a BJ player then you must try being the dealer at least once in your life.

Software:
BeTheDealer's unique software is proprietary, and was developed by Casino Village On Net NV's R&D group. The in-house software is very well designed. Its claim to fame is that it is the first Peer-to-Peer (P2P) software in the world, allowing players to play against each other, one as Player and the other as Dealer. Multiple live players can play against live dealers.

House Edge:
The house advantage for BJ is 0.77%
The house edge is nothing to write home about but it is more than offset by the bonuses offered during their daily, weekly and monthly promotions.

Payments:
Payments are fast. I consistently receive Neteller payments in 3-4 business days.

Banking:
At the time of the BeTheDealer review, deposits could be made using your choice of: Visa, Mastercard, NETeller, PrePaid ATM, FirePay, Citadel or bank wire. Withdrawals can be made with NETeller, wire transfer or check. The banking software displays a full transaction history.

Customer Support:
This site offers 24/7 help using a variety of email addresses or a 1-800 fax number. Their support is very friendly, fast and helpful.

Overall Rating:
BeTheDealer Casino is a unique concept that allows you the player to play against other human players, giving yourself the house advantage. For the first time in gambling history you can have the house odds in your favor. I really enjoy myself at this internet casino. If you are a blackjack player, you really have to play here at least a couple of times in your life.
