Cool find Juice. Very interesting stats.

There are 63,677 sites with a better three-month global Alexa traffic rank than Mygaming.co.za. Visitors to it spend about eleven minutes per visit to the site and 68 seconds per pageview. Relative to the overall population of internet users, the site's users are disproportionately male, and they tend to be both uneducated and highly educated, childless users under the age of 35 who browse from work. The site has attained a traffic rank of 386 among users in South Africa, where approximately 74% of its audience is located. Visitors to Mygaming.co.za view an average of 9.1 unique pages per day.
 
Stats are likely to be off by about a 100 miles. I doubt a single one of the regular forumites has the Alexa toolbar installed.
 
It's true that stats are rarely incredibly accurate, since it generally deals with averages, but if data is gathered correctly and responsibly, statistics can be very valuable in many different situations. I would wager that some kind of statistical information gathering was involved before you decided on buying something expensive? But then again, you might be in the age range 18-24 and have no college education and browsing this site from 'work', in which case you are, statistically speaking, likely to be ignorant of the valuable part statistics could play in your own life.
 
Alexa stats are very very far from accurate - they are useful to give you a nice general picture of what's happening on the web - with regards to traffic maybe, but I wouldn't trust the figures for audiences by a great degree.

For instance, I browse myGaming from three different locations, on browsers which don't have the Alexa toolbar installed. People with higher education, who are more technically advanced than your average user, and almost certainly more web-savvy, are also more likely to be browsing anonymously. Certainly normalisation helps with this a little bit, but I'm fairly sure the audience figures are going to be skewed.
