Northstar Bets hopes to draw in customers with $100K…

NorthStar Bets is offering up Ontarians an opportunity to win their share of $100,000 by putting their Blackjack skills to the test.

From Oct. 21-N0v. 25, the site will be running the NorthStar Blackjack Championship. Participants in the competition earn points for every consecutive set of winning hands they post at the tables. They will have a month to earn those points and move up the leaderboard before the top 50 are invited to take part in a final one-week playoff.

The winner of the final week will take home quite the trophy, as NorthStar Bets will be awarding a 10-ounce gold bar valued at $35,000 unless the winner opts for the equivalent cash value.

The rest of the prize pool will be spread around to other players. There will be nightly leaderboard winner prizes of $250 throughout the promotion as well as substantial weekly leaderboard prizes for the top three finishers, who can win as much as $2,000.

“We believe this is a first-of-its-kind tournament that provides an incredible opportunity for our online players to showcase their skills in one of the world’s most thrilling and renowned casino games,” said Chair and CEO of NorthStar Gaming Michael Moskowitz.

“We’re excited to unite an online community of Blackjack fanatics for a chance to demonstrate their talent and win big. The idea behind this tournament underscores our commitment to innovation and positions our platform as a premier destination for players seeking a unique and exciting experience.”

Q2 was a record quarter for NorthStar, a brand that is outpacing the growth rate of the regulated Ontario market. The site has already taken more than $1 billion in bets.

This massive growth is not without its hiccups though.

Just last week, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) fined the operator $30,000 for geolocation failings. The AGCO discovered the issue during compliance monitoring where the group attempted to log in to NorthStar Bets from Quebec and New York.

In addition to the geolocation issue, the AGCO also reprimanded NorthStar Bets for its failure to file paperwork with the regulatory body in a timely manner.
