StakeFree editorial team
Role: code directory maintainers.
The team maintains three things: the code list, the status labels, and the written guides. Everything published on this site passes through a human before it appears.
What the work looks like
Collecting. Codes arrive from campaigns, creator announcements, reader submissions and public listings. Listings are treated as leads, never as evidence.
Checking. A check means signing in with an account that has no active bonus, pasting the string unedited, and recording the response with a date. One account can redeem one code, so confirming a list of this size is slow by design.
Writing. Guides are written to answer the question the page is actually about, then edited for accuracy. Drafts are produced with AI assistance and reviewed line by line; the status labels are never automated.
Correcting. Reader reports that contradict a label trigger a re-check. Re-checks move codes in both directions, and every change is dated on the changelog.
Why the labels stay conservative
A directory can look authoritative by printing green ticks with no date behind them. We print the label and the date, because the date is the part a reader can check, and it is the part that changes when a campaign ends.
The rules are public in the editorial policy. If a label looks wrong, the contact page explains what to send.
