NorthStar Bets Casino Review

Northstar Bets is a brand new casino launched earlier in 2022 by NorthStar Gaming Inc. Licensed exclusively by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) it is only available to players in this province of Canada.

Supported by over 400 games, the choice is a little limited, but is backed by some reputable game providers offering a good choice of slots, jackpots, table games that feature alongside a comprehensive Live Casino selection. 

An excellent user-friendly interface, good payment options, and a great welcome bonus with competitive wagering levels all add up to an attractive option for Ontarians. Customer support is offered on a 24/7 basis via Live Chat, email and a designated phone number. We found their claim of ‘unparalleled customer service’ to be pretty accurate. Throw a comprehensive Sportsbook into the mix and the NorthStar Bets is a great ‘one-stop shop’ option.

Security and Licences

Ensuring players are safe and secure during their gaming experience is paramount to any casino. NorthStar Bets holds an Ontario iGaming licence which is a measure of the site’s dedication to player welfare. Casino and sportsbook players are protected by one of the most stringent licensing bodies around and are backed with the highest encryption standards. 

Any issues players may have regarding their accounts can be dealt with by the Customer Service team that are now operating around the clock. They can be reached in the usual methods (Live Chat & email) and also 24/7 on a dedicated phone line.

There’s also a dedicated Responsible Gaming page offering useful links and a selection of ‘RG Tools’ should a player need them.

Games and Providers

The games at NorthStar Bets can be divided into a number of categories. Casino titles offered are Premium Slots, Slots, Jackpots, Table Games plus there is a separate Live Dealer section. Within this section are Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat & Gameshow offerings. 

Slots: Players can choose from over 350 slots from top developers such as Playtech, Pragmatic Play and IGT. The number of games is still pretty low, along with the number of software providers, but this will increase as the site matures.

Progressive jackpots can be found here too offering players the opportunity to play for some big bucks in this popular genre.

Table Games: NorthStar Bets may have a quite limited selection of table games, but all the usual favourites are covered here. Choose from various Roulette options, Blackjack & Poker. A selection of quality over quantity can be found here.

Live Dealer Games: The Live Casino selection is far more extensive giving players the opportunity to to try their hand on a live streamed table for the old school ‘bricks & mortar’ experience. Choose from Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Game Shows and Trivia Games too. The game library is always growing so keep an eye out for new additions. 

Deposits and Withdrawals

This casino supports a good, if not extensive selection of the most popular payment methods available in Canada. Players from Ontario can choose to deposit with Visa, Mastercard, Interac, American Express, iDebit and just recently the market leading PayPal. All the mentioned methods can be used for withdrawals also except for Mastercard. The minimum deposit and withdrawal is $20 and there are no withdrawal limits, although processing times on $10,000+ withdrawals will take slightly longer to process.

Cryptocurrencies are not as yet supported but in this ever-changing landscape that could change very quickly. The only currency supported is of course Canadian Dollars (CA$) being an exclusively Ontario site. 

The casino aims to process withdrawals as quickly as possible, but it could take up to 24 hours. The processing time of each transaction depends on the payment method selected for the withdrawal.

Summary

NorthStar Bets Casino is a relative newcomer to the online casino world. However, it comes with backing of a respected Canadian media business and offers quality over quantity regarding games, providers and payment solutions. Everything is well done on the site. The Customer Service is top notch, there’s a world class sportsbook offered, and the site is improving all the time with the recent additions of PayPal and a mobile App. 

Keeping close to its Canadian roots it’s a great option for all Ontario residents looking for a fresh and ‘local’ site.
