Why table limits differ between live blackjack tables
Table limits differ because each limit belongs to one table, and the studio and the casino choose it for that table, not for live blackjack as a whole. This applies to live tables at casinos licensed in Great Britain as of 13 November 2026. What you see depends on the table type and on the lobby of the casino you use.
What can set a limit
Checked 13 November 2026. Four things can sit behind the numbers you see on a table tile:
- The table type. A studio publishes different table descriptions, and a limit can be part of the description.
- The studio. Each provider designs its own tables and rules.
- The operator. The casino decides which tables it lists and can show its own limit range in its lobby.
- A private or high-limit room. Some operators group large stakes in a separate area.
We have not confirmed which of these applies to any named table. The lobby on the day is the only source we accept.
The £5 limit is not a blackjack limit
The Gambling Commission's stake limit of £5 per spin, and £2 for customers under 25, applies to online slots only. It does not apply to blackjack or roulette, according to the Commission's slots stake limit guidance.
Do not read a low or high blackjack limit as a regulatory rule. See live blackjack tables for the other rules we check.
How to read a published limit
Take the limit from the lobby, not from a review.
- Open the table information, not only the tile.
- Write down the minimum, the maximum and the date.
- Note the variant name and the studio.
- Check the rules for that variant: reading table rules shows what to look for.
Averages from reviews mix different tables, so we publish none.
Limits we have checked
| Operator candidate (licence to be confirmed) | Minimum | Maximum | Lobby date |
|---|---|---|---|
| bet365 | Not yet checked | Not yet checked | Not yet checked |
| William Hill | Not yet checked | Not yet checked | Not yet checked |
| LeoVegas | Not yet checked | Not yet checked | Not yet checked |
We have no verified limits yet. When a lobby is readable without an account, the figures go to the published limits table with the date. Where a lobby needs an account, we say so instead of guessing.
How we checked this
We read the Gambling Commission's online slots stake limit guidance for the slots rule. We did not read any operator lobby for this page, so the table above has no figures. Studio rules pages for each table type are the next sources to read.
What changed
13 November 2026: first published. Nothing has changed since.
Quick answers
- Is there one table limit for live blackjack in the UK?
No. A limit belongs to a single table. The stake limit of £5 that the Gambling Commission set applies to online slots only, not to blackjack.
- Where do I find the limit before I sit down?
In the casino lobby, on the table tile or in the table information. Read it on the day you play, because a lobby can change without notice.
- Does a high maximum mean a better table?
No. A maximum is a parameter of the table, not a sign of quality, fairness or safety. Choose a limit you can afford to lose.
- Why do two casinos show different limits for the same studio's game?
The operator can choose which versions of a table to offer, and the lobby shows the limits for that version. We have not yet compared specific operators, so the table below is empty.
