For the most up to date data go towards the end of this thread.

Can anyone provide a fresh daily average payout? I'm confident the figure has been falling from where it was at after the first four years. Is this because of clever banker strategy, the luck of the boxes, or a trend towards more cautious gameplay?

I make it £15,052.76.

Per season, it's roughly these values:

S1: £16,000.68
S2: £18,545.77
S3: £14,034.77
S4: £15,722.54
S5: £13,226.85
S6: £15,459.83
S7 to date: £14,649.98

Season 2 obviously the highest because of Wakey Winter. I wish contestants today were half as brave as most people during that era (but no more as a lot of players were MAD gamblers during that time ).
