Backcount is a training simulator, not a gambling aid: it deals every card itself and cannot be used at a real table. It has no real-money play, no chips for sale, no ads and no links to gambling sites. Counting cards in your head is not illegal in most places, but gambling laws differ by country and casinos are private property that may ask you to stop playing. Numbers shown are estimates from simulation and standard formulas, not a promise of results and not financial advice.
