NorthStar is today unveiling the launch of three new online tournaments spanning popular gaming categories – Live Blackjack, Slots and Sports betting. The Spring Tournament Series offers a premium, consumer-driven experience and a variety of opportunities for players to participate with tournaments running concurrently from March through April, 2025. Innovative formats, progressive prize pools and interactive leaderboards will keep NorthStar players engaged throughout the series.
The all-new trifecta spring tournaments build on the success of last fall's NorthStar Blackjack Championship event in Ontario, which helped drive the acquisition of new high-value players and engagement for existing customers while increasing Blackjack wagering activity. These tournaments complement the premium gaming experience and robust spring promotional calendar and support the positioning idea that "Tournaments Live at NorthStar Bets."
"We plan to run innovative tournaments on an ongoing basis to establish a differentiated market niche consistent with our premium positioning," said Michael Moskowitz, Chair and CEO of NorthStar. "With these latest events, we are 'productizing' the custom development work we initially undertook for the Blackjack Championship to extend into a promising new category. Our aim is to increase the sense of community and exclusivity for NorthStar Bets players and bring more of the excitement of the casino experience to online betting."
