Visibility is not the same as player popularity
The figures measure how often each title appeared as a game tile across the operator websites monitored by egamingmonitor.com. They indicate content distribution and lobby visibility rather than player numbers, stakes, gross gaming revenue, session length or profitability.
Game-tile totals can be influenced by integrations, homepage and lobby placement, promotional activity, operator portfolio decisions and changes in the monitored site universe. The data is therefore most useful as a consistent measure of content exposure and distribution momentum. When using the full egamingmonitor dataset, it is possible to get close to a proxy for revenue shares when filters such as position on page and operator size are applied.
