Privacy thresholds
PlayerPal analytics never let a partner single out a player or a competitor. Small groups are hidden, comparisons need enough independent peers, and no average is published when one partner would dominate it. When a rule hides a value, the response says so explicitly instead of returning a misleading zero.
AvailableWatch first. This shows the thresholds below and why each one exists.
Small groups identify people
A figure about three players can reveal what one of them did. So PlayerPal refuses to publish figures built on small groups.
Why these rules exist
- Small groups identify people. A figure about three players can reveal what one of them did. The account floor hides any figure built on too few accounts.
- Thin networks identify competitors. If a market has two operators, "the network minus you" is the other operator. The peer floor requires several independent partners.
- Averages can belong to one partner. If one operator holds most of a market, the market average is in effect that operator's figure. The dominance rule suppresses it.
- Overlapping ranges can be subtracted. Comparisons use fixed, closed periods only, so two requests cannot be differenced to isolate a peer.
The thresholds
| Rule | Default | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Account floor | At least 50 distinct accounts | Own KPIs about players, overview, comparisons, benchmarks |
| Peer floor (comparison) | At least 5 other partners of your type in the rest of the network | Network comparison |
| Peer minimum (benchmark) | At least 6 partners in the peer group: you plus at least 5 others | Benchmarks |
| Dominance | Suppress if one partner holds more than 50% of the measure | Network comparison, benchmarks |
| Dominance, top two | Suppress if the top two partners together hold more than 75% | Network comparison, benchmarks |
These are the defaults. PlayerPal does not run production below these values.
Own KPIs and the overview
AvailableThe account floor applies to every own KPI that describes players (marked "Floor: yes" in the metric dictionary). KPIs about your own operations, such as new links or ingest acceptance, have no floor.
- Each period is tested on its own. If between 1 and 49 distinct accounts are behind a period, that period's value is replaced with a suppressed marker. A period with no accounts at all is shown as zero, not suppressed.
- Totals and previous periods are tested too. If either total is suppressed, the percentage change is empty.
- Breakdowns drop small rows. A market, game or counterpart under the
floor is left out and counted in
suppressed_rows. It is never folded into "Other", so it cannot be recovered by subtraction. - The overview marks every KPI
suppressedwhen fewer than 50 players were active in the range. Markets under the floor are grouped into "Other", and cohorts under the floor are returned without values. - Filters only offer games, markets and counterparts with at least 50 players.
A suppressed period in an own-KPI series:
{ "period": "2026-09-07", "value": null, "suppressed": true }
Network comparison
AvailableA comparison is published only when the rest of the network (players of other partners of your type) passes the peer floor, the account floor and the dominance rule. Your own side must also have at least 50 accounts; if it does not, the network figures are still shown but your value is withheld.
For cross-partner KPIs (multi-homing, overlap, share of wallet), your own value describes your players' activity with other partners. It is shown only when that activity spans at least 5 other partners and is not dominated by one or two of them.
If a market slice fails a rule, PlayerPal returns the global figure for the
same period and marks it with "fallback": "global". If the global figure
also fails, the network side is suppressed with a reason. Your own value can
still appear when it passes the account floor, because it describes only your
players:
{
"kpi": "cmp.bet_per_player", "period": "2026-09", "grain": "month",
"market": null, "fallback": null,
"you": 45, "network": null, "index": null, "band": null,
"suppressed": true, "reason": "peer_floor"
}
reason | Meaning |
|---|---|
peer_floor | The rest of the network spans fewer than 5 partners of your type |
account_floor | The rest of the network has fewer than 50 accounts |
dominance | One partner holds more than 50% of the measure, or two hold more than 75% |
y_floor | Your own players number fewer than 50; the network is still shown |
elsewhere_floor | Cross-partner KPI: your players' activity elsewhere is too concentrated or too thin |
not_computed | No figures exist for that period yet |
Benchmarks
AvailableA benchmark segment is published only when at least 6 partners of your type
are in it, at least 50 accounts are behind it, and no partner dominates it. A
thin market segment falls back to global in the same way as comparisons. When
nothing can be published, peers and band are null, suppressed is
true and reason names the rule.
What is never published
Even when a segment passes every rule, partners never receive:
- a minimum, a maximum or an exact rank;
- any single partner's value, name or ID;
- an exact network size. Sizes and peer counts are given only as bands:
5-9,10-24,25-99,100-999,1k-99kor100k+.
Published statistics are limited to p25, p50, p75, the mean and the quartile band your value falls in.
Staff access
PlayerPal staff can view a partner's own KPIs without the account floor, for support. Every such access is recorded with the staff member as the actor.
