Sign-up Bonus
The current NorthStar Bets welcome bonus is a first-wager match bonus of up to $250 offer. Simply deposit a minimum of $10, place an initial wager of up to $250 at odds of -200 or higher, and it will be 100% matched. The bonus bets will arrive within 72 hours of the qualifying bet settling. Bet credit winnings are paid out in cash.

This offer also includes 100 bonus spins for the NorthStar Bets Casino. The bonus spins can only be used on Shark Blitz, Leprechauns Luck: Cash Collect, and Sahara Riches: Cash Collect.

NorthStar Bets has the look and feel of an online sportsbook that has been operating for years. Offering action on an abundance of markets, NorthStar Bets doubles down with its robust, user-friendly live betting interface. 

The website also offers a 'Sports Insights' section, which, thanks to having the same owner as the Toronto Star, provides timely, cutting-edge sports betting-related content.  

A carousel directly in the bettor's sightline on the website's homepage provides easy access to featured events, news, other prominent sections, and perks. The betting site also focuses on content with a local feel, more dedicated explicitly to Ontario-based teams and markets.

NorthStar Bets is partnered with technology provider Kambi, responsible for continually providing competitive betting lines for all its available markets. 

NorthStar Bets does not have a mobile app currently available. According to their customer services team, one is in development for both iOS and Android. However, there is no timeline for its prospective release. 

NorthStar Bets launched wagering across Canada and now holds a licence with the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. The operator is regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and works with Kambi, a technology provider responsible for many things, including ensuring NorthStar Bets abides by industry security regulations.

NorthStar Bets prioritizes its relationship with customers, and it shows. They have a section on the website dedicated to customer complaints while offering all the main points of contact: Email, phone, and — for those logged in — live chat.

• Live chat available seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. ET
• Email: support@northstarbets.ca or complaints@northstarbets.ca
• Phone: +1855-218-7827
• Support languages: English
• Twitter: @NorthStarBet

Though a relatively new arrival to the online sports betting scene, NorthStar Bets conducts itself like a seasoned veteran. Aside from not having a live streaming option or mobile app and a distinct lack of payment options, NorthStar Bets hits the mark in almost every other category. It offers an abundance of markets — most of which are available for live bets — provides timely, valuable content and advice on local teams, and places the importance of customer service on a pedestal.
