The Free Bets — on selected ‘Double Down’ and ‘Split’ bets — are added automatically for the player if their hand qualifies. If a player’s first two cards total a hard 9, 10 or 11, the player automatically gets a ‘Free Double’, meaning that the player’s original wager is matched with a ‘Free Bet’ if the player clicks to choose the ‘Double Down’ option. The player then receives just one more card as they try to beat the dealer’s hand. In all other cases, the player can click ‘Double Down’. This allows players to double their main bet and receive just one more card.

If the player’s initial hand is a pair of cards of equal value, they can decide to ‘Split’ the pair to make two separate hands. If the player does choose to ‘Split’, they get a ‘Free Split’ on all pairs except for 10s, meaning that the player’s original wager is placed on the first hand, and the player receives a ‘Free Bet’ of the same amount on their second hand.
