About BeastyBike

BeastyBike exists to answer one question that casino marketing is designed not to answer: what does this bonus actually cost to clear?

Why this site

The European casino market advertises in percentages. A 777% welcome bonus and a 100% welcome bonus sit next to each other and the larger one looks obviously better. Divide each by its wagering requirement and the ranking frequently inverts, because the number that decides whether an offer is reachable is not the one on the banner.

We publish both numbers and the arithmetic between them. That is the whole proposition. It is a narrower promise than most sites in this market make, and it is one we can actually keep.

How we test

Every offer is traced to a source we can name, every wagering multiplier comes from the operator's published terms, and turnover is calculated as maximum bonus multiplied by requirement with both inputs shown. Where an input is missing we leave the cell empty rather than estimate it. The full method, including the weightings behind each score, is on the how we rate page.

Who writes it

Rens Verhoeven covers bonus terms and wagering arithmetic for BeastyBike. He spent four years in payments reconciliation before writing about this market, which is where the habit of reading the terms before the offer came from.

How we make money

Affiliate commission. When a reader opens an account through a link on this site, the operator pays us. It costs the reader nothing and it changes nothing about the ranking, which is set from published criteria before any commercial term is discussed. No operator can buy a position, see a draft, or have a score revised on request.

We think that arrangement is defensible only if we are explicit about it, so it appears at the bottom of every page as well as here.

What we are not

We are not a regulator, an ombudsman or a dispute service, and we cannot recover funds from an operator on your behalf. We are not licensed by any gambling authority, because we do not operate games. And we are not in a position to tell you an operator is safe, which is why you will not find that word used as a claim anywhere on this site.

Responsible gambling

Everything here assumes gambling is entertainment you have chosen and can afford. If that stops being true, the arithmetic on this site is not what you need. Our responsible gambling page lists the tools and the free confidential services that are independent of any operator.
