Why the slots stake limit is not a blackjack limit
No: the online slots stake limit, £5 per game cycle and £2 for players aged under 25, applies to slots only, not to live blackjack. The limits took effect on 9 April 2025 and 21 May 2025. This applies to slots at Casino Remote licensees as of 13 November 2026. It depends on the game type and on the wording of the Gambling Commission guidance.

What the guidance covers
The Gambling Commission's online slots stake limit guidance sets a maximum for one game cycle of an online slot. A lower maximum applies to customers aged under 25.
The brief records that the limit does not apply to roulette or blackjack. The guidance page lists the games it covers; we have not copied that list here.

What follows for blackjack tables
If the slots rule does not reach blackjack, a table's limits are not set by it. Limits come from the lobby and the table's rules.
We do not publish a table figure on this page. Lobby limits change, so figures sit on published table limits with a date and a source. For the reasons limits differ, read why table limits differ.
What the slots limit does not do
It does not make blackjack safer, and it does not make a high limit a sign of anything. A higher maximum is a parameter of the table.
Large maximums are looked at on the £10,000 to £20,000 claim. Keep control of your own spending with a deposit limit, whatever the game.
