Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you start.

Is Soft17 free?

Yes. The core is free forever: unlimited Drill, progress saving, a dashboard with statistics, an error heatmap and a daily streak. Pro (€9.99/month) unlocks Smart SR, Speed, the Weaknesses session and the blank grid. Cancel anytime.

Do I need an account to try it?

No. Drill mode is available as a guest. Create a free account whenever you want to save your progress and access the dashboard and statistics.

What is the SM-2 algorithm?

It's a spaced-repetition system: it schedules each hand's next review based on how well you know it. Wrong hands come back soon, mastered ones fade out. No wasted repetitions.

Is this gambling? Is real money involved?

No. Soft17 is a training tool for blackjack basic strategy: no betting and no real money. You train your decisions, not your wallet.

Which table rules can I set?

Number of decks, whether the dealer hits or stands on soft 17 (H17/S17), Double after Split (DAS), surrender and European No Hole Card (ENHC). The correct strategy adapts to the rules you choose.

How long does it take to master basic strategy?

On average a hand reaches mastery in 4–6 review cycles. The dashboard tracks your progress across all 340 combinations, with an always up-to-date heatmap and weak spots.

What is blackjack basic strategy?

Blackjack basic strategy is the mathematically optimal way to play every hand — whether to hit, stand, double, split or surrender — based on your two cards and the dealer's upcard. It comes from combinatorial analysis of the game's odds, not guesswork. Played perfectly, basic strategy lowers the casino's house edge to roughly 0.5% on a typical 6-deck, dealer-stands-on-soft-17 game, compared to several percent for players who guess. There are 340 distinct player-hand/dealer-upcard combinations in total, and the correct move for each one is fixed — it never changes from hand to hand, which is exactly why it can be memorized like a table. Soft17's free strategy chart lists all 340 correct moves, and the free Drill mode turns that chart into a spaced-repetition exercise so the moves become automatic.
