Configure your room
Without the right setup, you'll be missing important metrics. Here's how to avoid that.

This chapter is short but essential. If this step is skipped, you'll be missing a whole set of important metrics that the tracker won't be able to calculate.
1. Why it's important
Each Spin room has its own multiplier distribution (the probability of hitting x2, x3, x5, etc.). So this is a parameter you need to configure. Here's everything that depends on it in the tracker:
- Effective EV Profit: this calculation tells you whether you earned more or less euros than you should have, given your skill level. Without your room setup, this calculation is impossible
- The bankroll simulation: it projects the future of your bankroll by simulating thousands of possible scenarios based on your current skill level. Without the multiplier distribution, this simulation isn't available
- The multiplier chart: it compares the multipliers you actually received to those you should have received in theory. Without setup, no comparison is possible
- The replayer: it displays winnings per place (1st, 2nd, 3rd) based on the multiplier. Without a configured multiplier distribution, the payout split between players can't be calculated
In short, without the right room setup, you'll be missing most metrics related to bankroll and currency. Chip metrics (CEV, chips curve) work without setup, but everything involving multipliers and euro earnings needs it.
Key takeaways
• Room setup = the multiplier distribution for your room and stake
• Without this setup, many metrics and features won't be available
• Chip metrics (CEV) work without setup. It's the currency metrics that need it
• Head to Module 2 to learn how to read and understand every KPI on the Dashboard
You now have everything you need to get started! You now understand why data is essential in Spin, the three pillars of the Spin player, a tour of the tracker, how to import hands, and how to configure your room.
The serious work can now begin...
2. How to configure your room
It's very simple: go to My Account (accessible from the sidebar) → My Room. Select the room and the stake you play, and the tracker will automatically load the corresponding parameters.
It's always good to check that the displayed multipliers match your room's actual values. If they don't, you can manually adjust them in the table. Don't forget to click Save when you're done.
If you play on multiple rooms, configure the one you play on most often. The tracker will apply these parameters for global calculations.
Note that not all rooms are equal. For example, Winamax and Betclic have very different multiplier distributions, which strongly impacts your ability to generate money. The impact of multiplier distribution on your earnings will be explored in depth in Module 3.
