About Us:

At Stokastic, we combine our expertise in sports gaming with a passion for entrepreneurship. Our team of employee-owners is composed of dedicated enthusiasts who have turned their love for sports betting and daily fantasy sports (DFS) into a thriving business. Founded in 2018, we have rapidly grown to a profitable company with 40 employees and millions in revenue.

Our mission is to create an unparalleled "everything but the checkout" experience for sports gamers, allowing them to immerse fully into an end-to-end experience-consuming content, researching data, finding bets, and building lineups. After placing bets, users return to track their bets, celebrate victories, and learn from losses, engaging with the Stokastic team and our vibrant community across a multitude of platforms.

Our probabilistic approach to betting emphasizes process over results, as reflected in our name, Stokastic (a homonym of stochastic). We are committed to creating a future where long-term strategic process and robust data triumphs over short-term randomness and anecdotes.
