Because the online casinos shuffle after every hand, counting can't achieve any advantage. (I think that, at one point, there was an online casino that dealt from a shoe and, inexplicably, didn't shuffle after every hand. I'm not sure about that. If any counter knows about an online casino currently doing that, he or she is keeping quiet about it, which is certainly what I'd do.) For players content with a small hourly win rate, however, online casinos can be profitable. The strategy is bonus hustling, also called "bonus abuse" by the casinos and "bonus whoring" by some players. This is another area I haven't gotten into personally. It exploits the bonuses that online casinos offer to attract new players. The approach is to sign up at a new casino, play the minimum to qualify for the bonus, and then move on. Some players use friends' names or fake names to go back and hit the same casino multiple times as a different "new" player each time. The online casinos are aware of the scam. In response, they've reduced their bonuses and toughened the qualification requirements. On occasion, they stall on paying the players or stiff them entirely.
