🎯 Strategy & Optimization
📊 Track Everything: The key to optimization is data. SweepSessions helps you identify what's working and what's not.
Understanding RTP (Return to Player)
RTP is the percentage of wagered money that's returned to players over time. SweepSessions calculates your actual RTP for each session and in aggregate.
How It's Calculated
RTP = (Wagered + Net Win/Loss) / Wagered
Example:
Wagered: $100
Net Loss: -$5
RTP: ($100 - $5) / $100 = 95%
What Good RTP Means
- 98%+: Excellent—you're getting great value
- 95-98%: Good—typical for most games
- 90-95%: Fair—consider changing games
- <90%: Poor—time to switch strategies
Session Management Best Practices
✅ DO
- Set win/loss limits before you start
- Track every session, even small ones
- Tag sessions to identify patterns
- Review your dashboard weekly
- Note game categories that perform well for you
- Track the time of day you play
❌ DON'T
- Chase losses without tracking
- Ignore your data and play on emotion
- Skip recording sessions (even losses)
- Play without understanding your RTP
- Forget to track bonus play separately
- Overlook redemption timing patterns
Cashflow Optimization
Understanding Your Numbers
Your dashboard breaks down your financial performance into key metrics:
| Metric | What It Means | Target Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Total Spend | All deposits made | Track trends—avoid increasing without reason |
| Total Withdrawals | All completed redemptions | Should exceed spend over time |
| Net Cashflow | Withdrawals minus Spend | Positive = profit, Negative = net loss |
| Total Wagered | Sum of all betting action | Higher wagering = more earning potential |
| Net Win/Loss | Your actual game results | Combined with cashback should be positive |
⚠️ Important: Net Win/Loss from sessions may differ from Net Cashflow due to bonuses, fees, and cashback. Always review both metrics.
Game Selection Strategy
Use your session data to identify which game categories work best for you:
High Volatility
- Slots (Bonus Buy)
- Big multiplier slots
Higher risk, bigger wins, lower RTP variance
Medium Volatility
- Standard slots
- Video poker
Balanced approach for most players
Low Volatility
- Blackjack
- Baccarat
Steadier results, easier bankroll management
