Quick compare: two casinos side by side
Pick a pair and the ten parameters line up next to each other. Whichever casino sits higher on a parameter takes it, and the one that takes more of the ten wins the pair. Every pair in the roster is scored this way, which is where the win rate on the overall ranking comes from.

Where the pair actually splits
Level rows tell you nothing about a choice. These are the parameters where the two differ, with the sentence that produced each score, so you can see whether the gap is about something you care about.

Same pair, different question
Equal weighting is almost never what a real player wants. The ranked lists re-weight the same ten numbers for one question each, and where both casinos make the top of a list, the list's own order is the better answer:
Pairs readers ask about most
Both are live
Open whichever fits how you play
Stake wins the pair, but Winz is the right answer for anyone whose first question is one of the rows it takes. Read the full Stake scorecard or the Winz scorecard before you decide.
