Guide overview
A checklist for comparing table limits and optional wagers without mistaking a large limit for a suggested stake.
Limits define the accepted range
A minimum and maximum describe the stakes a table accepts, not what a player should wager. The range can vary by game, provider, time or table. A displayed value may be per hand, per selection or per round.
Side bets add separate exposure
Some tables allow several side wagers alongside the main bet. Each can have a different payout and settlement condition. Check whether the displayed limit applies to each bet or to the combined round, and review the total before confirming.
Use your own budget
Do not move to a higher-limit table because it is featured or has more seats. Choose a stake that fits a predetermined entertainment budget, and leave if the table minimum is above it. The maximum is never a target.
