DL vs MDL vs SMDL: The Panel Hierarchy Explained Simply
DL, MDL, SMDL and Admin — what does each level control, who should choose it, and how does commission flow? A plain-English breakdown.
DL, MDL, SMDL and Admin are the four operator levels of the betting panel hierarchy. Each level manages the one below it and earns commission on its turnover.
The four levels in 30 seconds
| Level | Full Name | Manages | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| DL | Dealer | User IDs | Agents building a player base |
| MDL | Master Dealer | DL agents | Operators running multiple dealers |
| SMDL | Super Master Dealer | MDL networks | Large network operators |
| Admin | Admin / Super Admin | Entire platform | White-label owners and tech admins |
How commission flows through the hierarchy
Commission moves up the chain. When a user bets, the dealer earns a share, the master dealer earns a share of the dealer's volume, and so on up to the admin. Higher levels mean higher credit lines and bigger commission percentages.
Which level should you choose?
- New to the business? Start with a DL panel and grow your user base.
- Running a few dealers? An MDL panel gives you control and commission on their volume.
- Operating a large network? SMDL is built for you.
- Want your own brand and full control? Go straight for an Admin / white-label setup.
