Bai Jia Le is simply the Chinese name for baccarat. At eBET it's played at a live table with a real dealer, and the rules are the same ones used in casinos across Asia.

Start with a trustworthy operator

Before any talk of card values, the most useful advice about online baccarat is about where you play. You don't want to spend a day at the tables and then find the money you won is nowhere to be seen.

eBET supplies the live tables, but your account, deposits and withdrawals sit with whichever casino operator you sign up with. That operator also holds your personal details. Reliability matters more here than in any land-based casino, because you can't walk up to the cage and ask for your chips back.

How eBET baccarat is dealt

Two hands are dealt, Player and Banker, with two or three cards each. You don't play either hand. You bet on which one will finish closer to 9.

Card values are easy to learn:

  • Ace counts as 1.
  • 2 to 9 count at face value.
  • 10, J, Q and K count as 0.

Only the last digit of the total counts, so 7 plus 6 makes 13, which scores 3. A two-card total of 8 or 9 is a "natural" and usually ends the hand. Whether a third card is drawn follows fixed rules, and the dealer applies them for you.

The three main bets

  • Player: wins if the Player hand is closer to 9. Usually pays even money.
  • Banker: wins if the Banker hand is closer to 9. Usually pays even money minus a 5% commission.
  • Tie: wins if both hands finish on the same total.
