Have you tried to contact their Custumer Support team? They should know answer to your question. 25 pounds sounds a tiny amount for an available maximum bet. Didn't you had an option to change the table limits, when you were logging in on a particuar table?

Hi James,

First of all in terms of a solution to your problem...

1. bet365 now have a dedicated live blackjack table with significantly higher limits. I'm awaiting confirmation on exact minimum and maximum bets allowed but have it on good authority that it's a very quiet table because limits are too high for most players! It's currently only available for play 7pm - 3am Latvian time, and YES, it's streamed from Playtech's Riga studio.
2. you can always request higher limits to those that are published at most live casinos. Just get in touch with casino support at the casino you're currently playing with and ask.

As a general observation on live casino game limits you've hit the nail on the head. Advertised limits at the Playtech casinos are significantly lower than some of the other casino platforms and I really have no idea why this is. Seems you're already well aware that most of the Evolution Gaming casinos have some very high limits across all games but there are other live casinos that offer bets in the multiple $tens of thousands.

Hope this was helpful
cheers

Thanks guys!

Right, have contacted them and they say your betting limit depends on your VIP status but they have requested an increase for me from the VIP team...seems silly really.

Likewise, thanks for the flagginf Bet365- i will have a look.

From the guys at bet365...

With regards to the live blackjack table, the default limits available are minimum £50 – maximum £2,500. I have been informed that this is available for VIP players of Gold status and above only. A player is able to request a reshuffle of the deck or a dealer change. However, if there is more than one player at the table, then every player must agree to this request for it to be enacted. Obviously, if a player is at the table on their own then they can request these things.

Re the VIP status policy, I assume they do this to avoid the situation where low (medium) rollers aren't filling the table so that the high rollers miss out on seats.

cheers
