TABLE HELP PATHS

Get Help While You Play Blackjack Side Bets

Side bet rules and payout tables can differ between tables and providers. If anything looks off at your seat — a side bet not accepting your wager, a payout that doesn't match the table's posted odds, or a disconnection mid-round — our support team can pull the hand history for that session.

Live Chat Reach our live chat directly from the game screen. Share your table name and round ID so the agent can check your specific side bet hand without delay.
Account Disputes If a side bet payout looks wrong, open a dispute ticket from your account dashboard. Attach the round reference number shown in your bet history for faster resolution.
Game History Log Every side bet you place is logged under your account's game history tab. Filter by table or date to review past 21+3 or Perfect Pairs results yourself before contacting support.

How We Run Blackjack Side Bets Fairly

Side bets carry their own house edge separate from the main blackjack hand, and we want that to be clear before you place one. Our tables from Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live use certified random card shoes with independent audit records held by those providers. Pay tables for 21+3, Perfect Pairs, Bust It and Insurance are displayed inside the live interface — we do not alter those figures on our end.

Provider-Certified Shoes

Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live use independently audited card shoes. Their certification records cover all side bet outcomes, not just the main hand result.

In-Game Pay Table Transparency

Every side bet position shows its own pay table inside the game screen. We do not override or adjust those published odds — what the provider shows is what applies.

Round History on Your Account

Your full side bet history — stake, outcome, payout — is stored under your account. You can verify any round yourself without waiting for a support ticket.

Separate House Edge Disclosure

Side bets carry a higher house edge than the main hand. We display RTP or house edge data where the provider makes that figure available inside the game interface.

Our live blackjack lobby carries tables from Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live, and most of them surface at least one side bet position per seat. Perfect Pairs rewards matching rank or suit between your first two cards. 21+3 turns your two cards plus the dealer's up-card into a poker-style hand — suited trips pay the highest. Bust It, available on select Evolution

tables, lets you wager on how many cards the dealer draws before going over 21. Each side bet has its own pay table displayed inside the game interface — check that before placing. Players in Baguio reaching us on mobile will see the same table layouts as desktop.

Blackjack Side Bet Terms You Should Know

These are the terms that come up most when you are learning how side bets work at a live blackjack table.

What is a Perfect Pairs side bet?

A Perfect Pairs bet wins when your first two cards share the same rank. Payouts vary — mixed pair pays the least, suited pair the most. Exact pay tables differ by table.

What does 21+3 mean in blackjack?

21+3 combines your two hole cards with the dealer's up-card to form a three-card poker hand. Winning combinations include flushes, straights and three-of-a-kind, each with its own payout.

What is an Insurance bet in blackjack?

Insurance is offered when the dealer shows an Ace. You bet up to half your main stake; if the dealer has blackjack you win 2:1 on the insurance wager but lose your main hand.

What is Bust It in blackjack?

Bust It is a side bet on how many cards the dealer takes before going over 21. More cards drawn before busting means a higher payout. Available on select Evolution tables.

What does house edge mean for side bets?

House edge is the mathematical percentage the casino retains over time from a bet. Side bets typically carry a higher house edge than the main blackjack hand — check the in-game pay table.

What is an Any Pair side bet?

Any Pair wins when your first two cards share the same rank, regardless of suit or colour. It pays at a fixed rate shown in the table's side bet panel before you place your wager.

Common Questions About Blackjack Side Bets

Real questions from the table about how side bets work, when to place them, and how payouts land on your account.

No. Side bets at our tables require an active main hand bet. You must place your main stake first; the side bet positions only become active after that wager is confirmed.

Not all of them. Standard and speed blackjack tables may carry no side bet positions, while tables like Evolution Infinite Blackjack and Pragmatic Play Live Blackjack usually include at least one or two options.

Payouts from side bets credit to your account balance the moment the round closes. You can then use that balance on the next hand or cash out via GCash, Maya, or InstaPay where eligible.

No. 21+3 uses your first two cards plus the dealer's face-up card — a three-card combination. The result is independent of whether you win or lose your main blackjack hand.

Yes, on tables that offer both. Insurance appears only when the dealer's up-card is an Ace, while Perfect Pairs is settled before the dealer checks for blackjack, so the two bets run on separate timelines.

Open your game history in the account section, find the round by date or table name, and compare the payout to the pay table shown in the game. If there is a discrepancy, raise it with live chat and include the round ID.
