This is by design so low level pirates will not join in a game where everyone is already a high level and is able to "skip" levels by being paid out an enormous amount of money. Every pay out for pirates is based on percentages. There is a maximum pay out and everything above the max, it "taxed".
There are a couple exceptions for these rules, but those are not published.

Example:
Code: [Select]
Pirate who is level 20 is dueled by Landlubber who is level 5.
Pirate has a 1% bounty on him/her is 50 billion doubloons.
Landlubber wins a duel against Pirate (who may be helping landlubber by selling all of his/her weapons thus reducing his/her power)  and wins doubloons from the duel and the bounty.

The entire reason for limits such are these are to prevent cheating and most limits have been introduced after someone has exploited the lack of rules.
