Canada.- NorthStar Gaming has announced that it has been registered as an online gaming operator by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) for the Canadian province´s regulated market, which launched on April 4. It will work with the AGCO and iGaming Ontario to meet the remaining regulatory requirements for its gaming platform to go live soon.

Michael Moskowitz, CEO and a founding partner of NorthStar Gaming, said: “As a made-in-Ontario online gaming and sportsbook operator, we’re excited to be awarded our registration as we prepare to launch a locally relevant platform for Ontario gaming enthusiasts to experience.

“As a local operator, the opportunity for us to design, build and launch a platform for our home market is very special. We’re proud to call Ontario home and look forward to introducing our content-rich platform to consumers.”

In March, NorthStar Gaming named legendary Canadian sports broadcaster Rod Black as a host and brand ambassador. Black will serve as a brand ambassador for NorthStar Bets and provide sports commentary and hosting duties for the platform’s social channels and in-app content.

NorthStar Gaming’s online casino and sportsbook brand is named NorthStar Bets. The platform offers players a “uniquely local, premier user experience” as well as relevant insights and content, it said.

The firm has secured an omnichannel advertising and marketing services deal with Torstar. Following the launch of the NorthStar Bets gaming platform, the Toronto Star offers betting content, including videos of the events, teams and players.
