VIP-Grinders Research: Independent iGaming Data & Studies
VIP-Grinders Research publishes independent studies on online gambling, poker economics, and player behaviour. Our findings have been cited by Forbes, Digital Journal, and IT-Daily.

About Our Research & Data Studies
How We Collect Data
Every study names its source on the card above. Across the set, four kinds recur.
Licensed industry data, including SharkScope Analytics for poker traffic and Tanzanite.xyz for onchain casino deposits. Commissioned surveys run through Censuswide.
Public data from regulators and government agencies, including the UKGC, the AGA and the FBI. Search demand data, and our own Search Console records where a study is about this site.
No operator has editorial input on research findings, and data that reflects poorly on partner operators is published without alteration.
