The actual wager limits a player sees depends on the agent or affiliate he has signed up with.
For example if Pinny has a default 1,000 usd limit on NBA and the agent takes 50% of the action, then the limit will show 2,000 usd. If the agent or affiliate only takes commission on volume, the limits will be equal to pinnacle default limits of 1000 usd. The agents can change this over time, thus changing the limits for the player in relation to the default limits.

So if your limits are higher, you know what your agent/affiliate thinks of your chances to win
