The onus of responsibility rests firmly with the customer to ensure that he/she stays within the limits outlined below.

What Happens If You Exceed Maximum Payout Limits?
If you place a wager larger than the table's maximum payout limit and the dealer fails to stop you, your winnings will be capped at a certain figure. For example, if you wager 250 C$ on a single number and the maximum payout limit is 7,000 Canadian Dollars that's all you'll receive even though your actual winnings should be 8,750 C$.

Most players would still be over the moon making 7,000 C$ on a single spin, but the point remains that you should watch out for maximum payout limits so you don't end up throwing any of your money away.

IBAS believes that bookmakers could do more to prevent the acceptance of bets where the maximum possible payout is higher than the bookmaker is willing to pay. This could involve using computer software to highlight online bets that exceed the cap or betting shop tills to flag up where a football or other coupon bet risks breaching the company’s limits. However, those requirements are not written into the law and if the bookmaker is acting lawfully our Adjudication Panel may not feel empowered to rule against them.
