Confidence
The site functions as a portfolio and storefront for an independent researcher specializing in blackjack mathematics. Our analysis shows no malicious code, and only one engine out of 92 flagged it as suspicious, which is likely a false positive due to the gambling-related keywords. The domain was registered 126 days ago, but the author has a verifiable presence on major industry forums like Wizard of Vegas and BJ21. The books promoted on the site are sold through Amazon Kindle, providing a layer of consumer protection. We found no scam reports or complaints across any major review platforms.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on blackjackrebel.com and not a lookalike like b-lackjackrebel.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on blackjackrebel.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • blackjackrebel.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 75/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. blackjackrebel.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR1, expiring in 86 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • blackjackrebel.com is 4 months old, registered on 2/17/2026 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 1 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged blackjackrebel.com as malicious or suspicious. Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. blackjackrebel.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • blackjackrebel.com resolves to an IP operated by A2 Hosting, Inc. in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 24, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around blackjackrebel.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
