Max Bet Rule

The max-bet rule blocks the volatility strategy of bonus abuse: without it, players bet the whole bonus on near-coin-flips, keeping wins and abandoning busted bonuses — positive expected value at the operator’s expense.

Enforcement friction

It’s the most-triggered voiding clause in complaint statistics, often breached accidentally (feature buys and side bets count; players forget an active bonus). Good operators enforce technically — capping stakes in-session while a bonus is active — rather than punitively after the fact; ADR bodies increasingly side with players where the platform allowed the breaching bet. The technical-enforcement standard is worth checking in any brand review.
