    Default Stats remote always wrong or catching skimming?

    SO I have stats remote thanks to castle affiliates and I have noticed something disturbing.

    With the exception of a few programs the stats are always wrong.

    For example, for one casino it will show a total earning of $120 but then when you check at the casino stats itself show only earnings in the amount of $80.

    Is stat remote accurate and catching the skimming or is stats remote wrong 80% of the time?

    Is there a large time difference from the time you see the $120 to seeing the $80?

    After catching the discrepancy have you then run Stats Remote again and now see the $80?

    If this is the case of stats remote pulling the reports at times other than the time that YOU run Stats Remote, then I would certainly want to know this....and am VERY interested in the reason behind this......

    I have used it for years. With me, the discrepancies usually disappear within a few hours. I have always thought it had to do with the feed. I see it the opposite way just as often - stats remote reports a much lower amount than the program does. Within some time it adjusts.

    You can ask the stats remote people - they are very good about responding to emails and explaining things.

    I think the stats remote and the program stats pull from the same raw data and work at different speeds - but that is only an assumption.

    At month's end stats remote doesn't show the actual totals til the next day, when the display already shows the new month. If you go back and look, some numbers will still be adjusting for the previous month.

    I haven't worried about it much since the temporary inconsistencies go both ways - plus and minus.

    The stats themselves are given lots of time to update. I usually give it 24 hours after viewing to compare.

    For example: Slotastic this month only made me $80 but the stats remote has shown it at $120 for the last couple days now. I didn't start the month in a negative so that's not it.

    And don't even get me started on whats going on with stats remote and affiliate edge program. They are always $100 to $1000 off for whatever reason even after updates.

    As all Stats Remote does is simulate a login and then scrape the stats the answer would seem to be an incorrect scrape resulting in wrong information. Stats remote does not get access to EXTRA information - so the difference has to be in intrepretation - rather than shaving.

    I don't have stats remote - but I would expect that if it gives a channel breakdown - then you should be able to easily see where the difference lies in most programs.

    It would not surprise me if you found that in each case where there is a discrepancy, there is an additional field in the stats to do with deposit charges, banking fees, or referral info that is not being taken into account
