About Us:

Our mission is to leverage our success in sports gaming to create an unparalleled platform for our users.
We aim to create an “everything but the checkout” experience. Our platform allows sports gamers to immerse themselves—consuming content, researching data, finding bets, and building lineups. Users return to track their bets, celebrate victories, and learn from losses, engaging with the Stokastic team and our vibrant community across many platforms.
Our sophisticated, mathematical approach teaches a probabilistic approach to betting emphasizing process over results, as reflected in our name, Stokastic (a purposeful misspelling of the word stochastic).
