Default Blackjack vs. Pontoon

I havent' played many casino bonuses but have done a few and only played blackjack. I see a lot of people in these forums talking about Pontoon. So yesterday, I got on Intercasino and tried it out for play money. I guess Pontoon is supposed to have a lower house advantage but I don't see it...3 things:
1. You can't see either of the dealers hole cards
2. You have to hit on 14 and below
3. (this is the biggie) DEALER wins all ties

The only advantage I see is that Pontoon (21) pays 2:1.

Enlighten me, it seems that the house would have more of an advantage in this game.
Also, what is the proper stratgey then, do you hit 15's and 16's?

Thanks for your input.
