Just like any other activity, the game of Blackjack also has certain rituals and etiquettes that need to be followed. In a real-life game, if you are a spectator, you must not interfere with the player's ability to concentrate. You can watch the game from a reasonable distance.

A novice blackjack player who is still in the learning stage should not hold up the game in order to learn the rules. In such cases, it is best to play alone at a table, but better still to play at one of the free online blackjack sites.

A player is not allowed to touch the cards if they are dealt face-up. This is only allowed in a face-down game. It is considered bad manners to order drinks when other people are waiting in line while you finish your game. It is also bad manners to get drunk while playing at a blackjack table.

It is customary to tip the dealer occasionally, especially if you are winning the blackjack game. You could also place a bet on behalf of the dealer as a tip.
