Hi!
I'm using $_SERVER['http_referer'] to see which site the visitors on my site
is coming from. It works OK, but as we all now, not all sites give
http_referer a value, i.e. miniclip.com.
What I DON'T understand is how my web-statistics program (awstats) can tell
me that a lot of the visitors on my site comes from miniclip.com. How can
awstats know, and http_referer don't?

It's not the website that decides whether or not to provide the
referer (sic). The browser determines whether or not to send it.
