Each studio's positioning
Pragmatic: high release cadence, Gates/Bonanza/Bass, live presence. NetEnt: Starburst/Gonzo heritage, polish, jackpots. Play'n GO: Book of Dead, Reactoonz, strong mobile identity.
None is magically « more honest »: read RTP and rules title by title.
18+ on all three.

Pragmatic pushes tumbles, multis and 1000 versions. NetEnt mixes low-vol icons and high-vol (Dead or Alive 2). Play'n GO loves high books and loaded clusters.
RTP often ~96%+, with exceptions and operator configs.
Bonus buy: very common at Pragmatic, variable elsewhere.

Which provider to start with?
Beginner short bankroll: NetEnt low-vol. Modern feature feel: Pragmatic at micro stakes. Expanding-book fans: Play'n GO in demo first.

Mobile, live and bonuses
