Many people are wary of playing blackjack against an Internet based casino.
I have tried several of these Internet casinos and I have had good luck against all of them. I've gotten paid too. The thing I really like about playing blackjack online is that its just you against the computer that is dealing you the cards. These computers are programmed to deal the cards randomly out of the shoe. Unlike a real dealer it is rare that you will find a 'hot' computer dealer.
