Maximum Bet
The highest amount a player can wager on a single spin or hand. It is also a critical rule when playing with bonus funds.
The Maximum Bet limit serves two purposes. First, it is the highest stake the game allows in normal play. Second, and more importantly for players, it is a crucial rule found in the Terms and Conditions of almost every bonus.
When playing with an active bonus, casinos impose a “maximum bonus bet” (typically £5). Wagering more than this amount on a single spin or hand is a breach of the T&Cs and can result in the casino voiding the bonus and any associated winnings. This rule is in place to prevent players from using a large bonus balance to place a few high-risk, high-reward bets to clear the Wagering Requirements quickly.
