why do some slots restrict maximum bet amounts so aggressively

Certain slots lately have super low max bets, sometimes way less than I’d expect given the game’s volatility or jackpot size. Not talking about progressive jackpot types, just normal video slots where you’d assume going bigger would be allowed. I get that casinos need some edge but when the top bet is only a fraction of what I see in similar games, it feels off. Makes me wonder if it’s just straight-up risk management for the casino or something to do with licensing, software, crypto volatility, or even player protection laws depending on what country you’re accessing from.

Sometimes I’m trying to run a system or just want to spin high for a couple of hits, but the limits really cut into that strategy. Not even talking about crazy whale stuff, just regular mid/high stakes grinding. Has anyone noticed any patterns across different sites or providers, especially in the crypto space? Is it mostly a regulatory thing or are they just tightening up to stop bonus hunters? Curious how others deal with it or if you just avoid those games altogether.
