There are two main types of surrender, depending on the variant of rules being used. If a player decides to surrender, then they accept to have half of their original bet returned to them (essentially voluntarily taking a 50% loss) and they are immediately withdrawn from the round. There are two types of surrender available to players in Blackjack: early surrender and late surrender. A player may decide to surrender if they feel they have a substantially weak initial hand, especially if the dealer has a strong face up card, and they therefore consider themselves to have a poor chance of winning the round. A player can surrender a round of Blackjack after each player’s opening two cards and the dealer’s face up card have been dealt.
