I have no problem with such a thread – it is sorely needed I think.
Just think of all the time and money Microgaming aff programs have spent of providing us with stats – it’s downright frightening. This is all money that could have been profit and part of it would have come to us as comission.
Software developers are the people to provide the statistics software.
Since some programs provide different items from others, we know that the available stats could be really great – including favorite games played by individual players and all kinds of things that allow you to target your promos better because you know your player demography better.
Hopefully accuracy would improve with such in house statistics also.
Sticking the programs with providing the software for the stats is totally irrational.
