Yes.
If you are using the SP21 template the simulator is doing it right. I have never played Pontoon but as I understand it you win all 21's if the dealer gets BJ upon taking his hole card after you get 21. I could have a false understanding. Perhaps those that play pontoon can confirm or debunk my understanding.
Pontoon has no hole card but technically, surrender remain late.
If you surrender, dealer place a mark on your bet.
If he gets a natural, you lose your entire bet (page 7 of Bible)
BTW, in pontoon, if you do not count, you never surrender. A presume because 21 wins even vs a natural.
Here I am talking about peeks.

Pontoon is played with NHC and it is correct strategy for the BS player to never surrender. Spanish 21 is played with a hole card and the dealer does peek for a natural. If the dealer does not have a natural you can surrender if it is offered.
Pontoon is not played with a hole card so peeking is not relevant. As a result of the NHC rule, OBO, BB+1 OBBO and ENHC are offered in compensation if the dealer has a natural.
Casino Enemy No.1
I have.
And no. I don't confuse SP21 and Pontoon.
Mecanism is simple.
1) Dealer propose surrender vs Ace ("Early surrender vs Ace")
2) Dealer peeks for Blackjack ("Dealer peeks on Ace" + "Dealer peeks on 10")
Results are obviously wrong. Or
1) MGP BJ CA is wrong.
and
2) Some casino at sea are more stupid that you have ever imaginated.
