live roulette max bet rule says per number but support says total table stake counts.

The table rules at my usual place say the max bet is per number, which I always took to mean you could spread higher totals across different numbers if you want. Had a session yesterday and put the max on like six numbers each, then got told by support I’d hit some “table maximum” and my next spin wouldn’t count. Support says it’s the sum of all chips on the table, not per number, even though that’s not spelled out anywhere I can see.

Now I’m wondering if anyone else had the same experience. Shouldn’t this be way more clear before playing live? How do you guys handle this, just stick to the per number or always ask support first?
