Once you have a paid membership, you'll receive a user id
and password. Some of the newsletter articles every month
are free for all to read, and some are only for paid members. The members-only
articles will have a preview of a paragraph or two, and then you enter
your user id and password to read the full article. All the newsletter
articles (current and past issues) are available here:
Newsletter and past issues.
You will receive a reminder notice by e-mail one month before and the
month of your membership expiration. This e-mail contains all the
instructions to renew your membership. But if you want to renew early
or don't get the e-mail, then just click this link:
http://www.deepnettech.com/purchase.php?product=4. When you renew
early, our order system will extend your existing membership accordingly
(you won't lose any paid-for months!). Also, make sure you enter the
exact same e-mail and name you used before when you renew, so we can
find your membership.

you'll need when ordering is: SKU3298963596.
No. We only accept payment through our online store. We use a 100% secure, trusted e-commerce solution
hosted by a leading payment provider.
No, not currently.
No. Blackjack Insider will continue to be published as a free monthly e-newsletter. Some of
the articles each month will be for paid members only. Subscribers without a membership can still
view and read the non-members articles for free.
Immediately after you complete your purchase, you will receive a unique login user name and password. These
are displayed on the final purchase page, and are e-mailed to you. When you click on a members-only
article in our web site, you will be prompted for this user name and password. Simply enter them, and enjoy the
article!
Your user name and password may not be working for several reason:
- Incorrect user name and password: When you purchased your subscription, you received a 'user name' and
'password' to use at the Blackjack Insider web site to read members-only content. Make sure you enter
the exact user name and password provided. The user name is a series of digits only ('0' to '9'), and
the user name is composed of only lower case letters (do not use upper case). Your user name and password
cannot be changed.
If you have forgotten your user name and/or password, CLICK HERE for
our self-help member services center. Note: make sure you turn on the checkbox when you login, to save the user name and password so
that you don't have to re-enter them every time you view members-only articles.
- Membership is expired: Your subscription only lasts for 12 months from date of purchase. After this
time, your logon user name is deleted. To check the status of your membership,
click here. Existing members will be notified by e-mail one month before their subscription expires.
If your membership is expired,
click here to renew your membership.
NOTE: do NOT use the renewal purchase link if you have not
purchased a prior membership! Also, make sure you use the Same e-mail address and name you used when you first purchased
your membership.
- Improper use of account: The membership user name and password may not be shared or used by more
than one person. We actively monitor accounts and make sure duplicate logons and other
improper activities do not occur. In this event, we will terminate the membership account and notify the subscriber.
If this has happened to you, please contact us:
"info @ bjinsider . com" (removes spaces when you e-mail us.)
I've forgotten my username/password. Can I get it again?
You can view all your membership information, and perform common actions such as changing your e-mail
address and password, at our member service center.
You can change your password, but not your login id. Note that by checking the 'Remember user name and password' check box
under the login prompts, you can avoid having to re-enter the user-name and password repeatedly.
See our member service center to change your password.
Purchasing a membership automatically subscribes you to our monthly e-mail newsletter
(if you have not already subscribed to the e-mail list).
You should receive two e-mails each month: a 'Lite' version near the start of the month that hilights
the upcoming issue and articles, and the monthly newsletter itself usually sent mid-month.
If you are not receiving the monthly e-mails, it's probably
due to a 'spam filter' preventing then from getting to your inbox. Please check with your local
ISP (Internet Service Provider) or check your local e-mail client software settings. If you have the means
to add 'whitelist' e-mail entries in the spam filtering solution(s) you use, then make sure
you add 'bjinsider.com' (newsletters will come from this domain). Failing this, you can always
read current and past issues online at www.bjinsider.com.
No. Blackjack Insider is strictly an online publication, which is delivered to your
e-mail box monthly. Note: you can print any article you want on your local printer (make sure you adjust
your printer margins in your browser software so that the page fits when printed).
Our default page width is 800 pixels, which is a bit large for some printers,
depending on your web browser. But this is easily fixed by slightly adjusting
the print margins in your browser. In Internet Explorer, choose 'Page Setup'
in the File menu, and change the left and and right margins to 0.25 or 0.3 inches.
Yes. Starting with issue #106 (Nov. 2008), you can
now view each newsletter in a single web page, rather than each article
being separate. This feature is only available for paid BJI
members/subscribers, but will be available for every issue from #106
and forward. Just go to the BJI issue, and click the single-page link.
Our online store asks for your name and address as an added security measure when
placing your credit card purchase. This personal information must match the information
on the credit card you use when you comlete your online order.
Blackjack Insider respects the privacy of our members!
We never sell, distribute, or otherwise disclose any subscriber
information. Please see our Privacy Policy
for more information.
No. The monthly newsletter is sent to every one who signs up for the e-mail. This is a free service.
Some articles in the monthly e-mail will be for paid subscribers only.
You need to make sure 'cookies' are enabled in your browser (either globally, or
for the bjinsider.com domain). This feature is used to permanently save the user
name and password for use when you later start your browser. Make sure you set the
checkbox next to your login name and password, to have these values stored
permanently in your browser. The password is encrypted in the saved cookie for
security.
No. Blackjack Insider is a free newsletter and portal, and we encourage our readers
to sample and view articles online prior to purchasing a membership. Also, $5 from every membership
goes directly to pay our writers, which we cannot recover. We regret that we cannot provide
refunds under any circumstances.
Blackjack Insider is a professional monthly publication with top-notch articles by world-reknown gaming
experts. In addition, we have regular reporters that monitor game conditions and tournament schedules throughout
North America.
We have switched to a partially paid subscriber model to enable us to continue getting the best content for
our readers from leading authors on blackjack and gaming. While Blackjack Insider uses advertising and
our online store to help finance operations, we needed to implement a paid subscription model to maintain the high-quality
monthly articles and reports.
$5 from every subscription goes directly to pay our Blackjack Insider writers.
Once in a while, we get a free subscriber
who thinks it's unfair that we charge for BJI memberships. They think
they should get every article for free, and are shocked we ask
for payment to read all the articles. Here is a sample e-mail we
received from 'JC':
"Yep, everyone's out to make a buck. Not many "free" articles in the
month's newsletter, except for the "paid" subscribers.
It used to be a great email to get, now it just seems like another
way to get shaken out of twenty bucks. Henry, I love your work though,
and it is a great newsletter, but I'm not shelling out another twenty."
Thankfully, we get many more positive e-mails from subscribers than
the occasional rant, like JC's above. Here's our response, which we can
only hope settles the matter:
"Joe,
I'm sorry you feel that way about the Blackjack Insider Newsletter.
I've added more top notch authors and more content and these guys
want to be paid for their efforts (do you not think this is fair?).
If you think it's easy going to a bunch of casinos, writing down all
the playing conditions and then going home and writing a detailed report,
trust me it's not. Or getting a casino insider (The Suit) to spill his
guts at the risk of getting blackballed all over town (that took me
months to find the right person). I don't think asking our subscribers
to pay $1.66 for each monthly issue is a lot of money considering
that one tip or piece of advice could save or make that subscriber
a lot more money. Plus we've discounted a whole bunch of products
that would more than cover the $1.66 per month cost. I wish I could
give away the Blackjack Insider Newsletter for free but the
economics don't allow me (beside paying my authors I've got to
pay my web master for the production and distribution of the
newsletter and maintain the mailing list).
I do it because I enjoy education folks on blackjack and
I want to use the subscription fees to pay my authors for
their time and effort. I've tried to make that clear when we
went to a partly paid and paid free newsletter. So again
I'm sorry you feel the way you do but I just wanted to be sure
you understand my position."
Do I still have to see all those ads at the web site if I'm a paid member?
Good point, and now the top and bottom ads bars are removed from all web site pages
if you are a paid subscriber! No more scrolling down half a screen to get to the beef
of our great articles. As long as you have cookies enabled in your browser
and have entered and chosen to save your BJI login id/pwd, then the top and bottom
banner bars displayed on every page of our web site will disappear! Another reason
to buy a membership.
