Questions

Is card counting legal?

Counting cards in your own head is not cheating, and it's legal in most places. Casinos are private businesses, though, so they can ask you to stop playing or to leave. Never use a phone or any device to count at a casino table, because that is illegal in many places.

Do I need to be good at math?

No. You only add or take away 1, and the lessons explain everything in simple words with pictures. The practice games build your speed slowly.

Will I definitely win money?

No. Counting gives you a small edge over a long time, but you will still lose on many days. Only ever play with money you can afford to lose.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Open it in your phone's browser and tap "Add to Home Screen" to install it like an app. Make a free account and your progress follows you between phone and computer.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Monthly and yearly plans can be canceled any time from your account page. Lifetime is a one-time payment.

How old do I need to be?

Count Like a Pro is for adults who are old enough to gamble where they live (21+ in most of the US).
