max bet
Table's ceiling stake
Max bet is the largest wager allowed in a gambling game or betting system.
In slot machines, hitting the max bet button stakes the highest permitted amount per spin—often required to qualify for jackpots.
In poker, it's the maximum raise allowed under table rules.
The phrase extends to any situation involving full commitment: Going all-in on that startup was a max bet on himself.
