Direct answer (as of 31 Aug 2026)
Isolation is the test, not the VIP sticker. Stake Bombay Club posts $150,000 per box with spectators off. BitStarz Evolution Salon Privé is about $50,000. A typical retail “VIP” pit caps $5,000 and leaves Bet Behind on. That is the Fail row — a public shoe with a nicer felt.
Shared pit vs 1-on-1 liability
A public Diamond VIP table is a shared pool. The cage clips the box so one hand cannot open a hole in the shoe’s liability. Privé / Bombay isolate the player, disable Bet Behind, and raise the ceiling because the studio can actually underwrite the box.
| Operator | Box max (31 Aug 2026) | Isolation | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stake Bombay Club | $150,000 | Spectators off, 1-on-1 | Pass |
| BitStarz Salon Privé | ~$50,000 | In Use lock | Pass |
| Beef | ~$50,000 crypto | Vault tier | Pass (no recovery if flagged) |
| Retail VIP pit (typical) | $5,000 | Bet Behind on | Fail |
Entry in this snapshot: $6,000–$10,000 liquid before Privé opens. Below that you are in the Fail pit.

If strangers can bet behind your box, you do not have a high-limit table. You have an audience.
