A live dealer studio is not extra protection
A live dealer studio is not extra protection. Tables usually come from a supplier. The cashier, KYC, and complaints sit with the operator we score. The studio logo does not raise the Trust Gauge. If the operator is grey, the live lobby is grey.
Supplier vs operator
Live blackjack, roulette, and game shows are usually supplied by a studio. The cashier, KYC, and complaints sit with the operator we score. If the operator is grey, the live lobby is grey.
What the Live Casino desk is for
It is a filter, not a new licence. Bingo-first and sweepstakes brands stay off that desk. If you want dealer tables on iGO or UKGC paper, start on those market pages and then check the live lobby on the operator site.
Ontario play is iGO only, 19+. Alberta play is AGLC only, 18+. A rest-of-Canada hop is not legal in those markets. Demo RTP is not always cash RTP.
Quick answers
- Does a live dealer studio add a second licence?
- No. The studio supplies tables. The operator holds the cashier and the licence we score.
- Is a live lobby legal in Ontario if the operator is not iGO?
- No. Ontario real-money play is iGO-listed operators only, 19+. The lobby does not change that.
