Dark Matter direct detection experiments present an ambiguous situation, with hints of WIMP detection at odds with all exclusion limits. Bayesian statistical methods offer a simple and consistent framework for incorporating uncertainties into a multi-parameter inference problem. In this talk we apply these methods to a selection of experiments and discuss how astrophysical and particle physics uncertainties affect the theoretical interpretation of these bounds/hints. We conclude with the prospects for dark matter direct detection experiments in the forthcoming years (closing in with the hints of detection, sensitivities to WIMP models, ...).
