The Project

Our Team

Three founders and one mission-keeper. Named, credentialed, and accountable for every page.

Candystack is a small, senior, remote team. Three of us founded it; one joined to keep us honest about risk. Every page on this site is written or reviewed by a named person, because anonymous advice in gambling is worth exactly nothing.

"We deliberately stayed small. A bigger team would mean more output and shallower work: the exact trade every affiliate site makes, and the one we built Candystack to avoid. Four people who go all the way down beat forty who skim the surface."

— Daniel Okonkwo, co-founder & Lead Game Analyst
