How to play online blackjack
Choose your blackjack game and place your bet before the dealer deals the cards.
The aim of the game is to have a better hand than the dealer while getting as close to 21 as possible without actually going over this number.
It’s very easy to calculate the value of your hand, all you have to do is add the value of your cards. The big question is: will you dare to take another card (hit) or do you play it safe with the hand you have and stand? One card can make all the difference! Choose your strategy and take on the dealer.
Take a seat at the blackjack table!
A game of online blackjack gives you the best chance of beating the bank. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced player, everyone can enjoy our blackjack games.
Here at Circus, you’ll find 2 versions of this game:
- Blackjack: you have 1 hand to try and beat the dealer.
- Multihand Blackjack: in this game, you can play up to 5 hands at the same time. The rules are the same but being able to play multiple hands definitely spices up the game!
Memorise the cards and their values
Swing the odds in your favour and memorise the values of the different cards:
- An ace: 1 or 11, the player can choose;
- 2 to 10: the number indicated on the card;
- The jack, queen and king: 10.
To get the best possible score and get blackjack, all you have to do is get 21 points with only 2 cards.
Learn some handy words
Want to become a blackjack pro and show off your skills to the world? Learn these common blackjack terms:
- Insurance - If the dealer’s first card is an ace and you think they’ll get blackjack, you can take out some insurance. This means you pay half of your initial stake. If you are right, and the dealer does get blackjack, your insurance will pay out 2:1 and lose the original stake. If the dealer doesn’t have blackjack, you'll lose your insurance bet.
- Double down: after you’ve received 2 cards, you can decide to double your initial stake. Once you’ve done this, you can only draw 1 extra card.
- Surrender: when the players and the dealer have received their first 2 cards, you can choose to leave the game and fold. If you choose this option, you will get 50% of your initial stake back.
Our terms and conditions of use have been changed. You need to approve them to continue to play and bet.
Since 6 April, the Belgian Gaming Commission has asked players to report any site that does not respect the rules concerning the deposit limit, and specifies that "no increase in this limit can be granted at this time".
Circus.be wishes to apply this rule, however without penalising players, as the situation is due to the Belgian Gaming Commission’s inability to set up a verification system with the Belgian Central Individual Credit Register despite the fact that a period of 18 months has elapsed since the publication of the Belgian Royal Decree on 25 October 2018.
Therefore, so as not to penalise those players who wish to do so, players that make the request and that can prove via the documents available on the Belgian Central Individual Credit Register that they are not in default of payment, will be able to increase their deposit limit beyond €500, in accordance with the Belgian Royal Decree of 25 October 2018.
In this context:
- If you are already registered on our website and have already deactivated your "legal" limit, nothing changes for you. If you wish to do so, you way reactivate the "legal" limit on your personal settings page. To deactivate this limit again later, you must provide us with proof that you are not registered on the Belgian Central Individual Credit Register for default of payment.
- The law imposes a deposit limit of 500 euros per week. Players can freely increase this limit given a reflection period of 3 days, and provided that the player is not known to be in default of payment in the file of the Belgian national Bank’s Central Individual Credit Register (art. 6 of the Royal Decree of 25 October 2018).
- This can be easily done via the Deposit page or from the account settings.
- If you have just registered on our website and you wish to deactivate your "legal" limit, you must provide us with proof that you are not registered on the Belgian Central Individual Credit Register for default of payment.
- If you live outside the Kingdom of Belgium, you are not subject to this check. If you decide, or have decided, to deactivate the "legal" limit, you undertake in doing so to play in a responsible manner and accept that we cannot be held liable due to the fact that it is impossible for us to comply with the aforementioned Royal Decree.
You will find a link to the necessary procedure when you indicate your wish to increase your deposit limit on your personal settings page.
Furthermore, we would like to remind you that our website offers you the possibility to set personal limits per day, week or month. Once a limit is set, it can only be modified after a period of 72 hours to help you play responsibly.
We also remind you that you can exclude yourself from gaming. This can be done at our brick-and-mortar casinos, on our websites or on the website of the Belgian Gaming Commission by registering on the EPIS system.

You have been excluded from our website at your request for a 6-month period.
To have your self-exclusion cancelled, please contact our customer service.
