GLOSSARY TERM
Player Funnel
The funnel decomposes acquisition into auditable stages, each with its owner: affiliates drive qualified clicks; operators own registration UX, cashier success and early retention.
Why programs share funnel data
Affiliates optimizing blind send whatever converts to clicks; affiliates seeing stage-level feedback (which traffic registers, funds, sticks) optimize toward player value — the alignment dynamic behind portal funnel reporting and dynamic-CPA models alike. Internally, funnel benchmarks by GEO and source are the early-warning system: every incident from tracking breakage to a cashier regression to a fraud ring first appears as a stage-ratio anomaly somewhere.
