Free Bet Blackjack
Free Bet Blackjack lets you double and split without staking the extra money. The house puts out a free chip; if the hand wins you are paid as though you had doubled, and if it loses you lose only your original bet.
Free doubles apply to hard 9, 10 and 11. Free splits apply to any pair except ten-value cards.
Push 22
The cost is a single rule: a dealer total of 22 does not bust. It pushes against every remaining hand, with a player blackjack the exception — that still wins.
It is priced well. The free doubles and splits cover most of what Push 22 takes, and the game lands at about 1.04% with correct play — higher than a good blackjack table, but not by the margin the giveaway suggests.

How to Play It
Take every free double and every free split offered — they cost nothing and the strategy is that simple.
The one adjustment worth making is to stand a little more often against a dealer 2 through 6 than a standard chart says. Push 22 removes a slice of the dealer bust outcomes you would normally be playing for.

Free Bet Blackjack FAQs
Yes, in the literal sense: you stake nothing and are paid as if you had. They are paid for collectively by the Push 22 rule rather than individually by you.
Every hand still standing pushes — you get your stake back rather than winning. A player blackjack is the exception and still wins.
