Online blackjack options for US-based players are extremely poor. The games are not regulated, so you may very well be playing a rigged game. The bonuses are sticky or just impossible to clear. If you're in the US, take a trip to a brick-and-mortar destination instead. The new casinos in Pennsylvania are supposed to offer liberal rules, or go to Vegas!
Absolutely agree that the options for US based players are very poor - but not for the reasons you've chosen.
The entire industry suffers from a lack of any real regulation and 'player advocates' that are nothing short of shills for the industry (and yes that includes, if not is lead by Casinomeister).
Sticky bonuses can be almost as profitable (sometimes more so) than the standard cashable bonuses, but they require knowledge and a higher risk tolerance basically meaning you can't grind them out.
The real reason that the options are so poor for US players is that the vast majority of casinos simply won't accept US customers. Those few that do, being prepared to brave the chances of investigation by the US government, are generally of an unscrupulous nature, offer poor bonuses and you're far more likely to have issues getting your money back from them.
