Comparison table · Last updated 1 September 2026

The eight-criteria grid behind the live-dealer ranking

Spin Trading Room is an independent, affiliate-funded comparison site. It is not an operator and not a regulator. The table is the evidence; the homepage is the argument.

Two open cloth-bound ledgers on a bone desk with a violet ribbon bookmark — We keep the criteria identical across operators so the differences stay visible.

Criteria as rows, operators as a scan down the page

On a narrow screen each operator becomes a stacked block so you do not have to scroll sideways. Desktop keeps the first column wide and the rest even.

What the grid does not settle

Sharing a licensee does not make LeoVegas and BetMGM the same live floor. A 2024 casino licence does not make DragonBet or Ken Howells "unfinished"; it does mean the live catalogue has had less time to deepen. ProgressPlay's enforcement history is a fact about the licensee, not a rumour about a single skin.
