You do not have to supply a code when signing up with NorthStar Bets Sportsbook in Ontario.

Is NorthStar Bets Sportsbook legal in Canada?

Yes, NorthStar Bets Sportsbook is legal in Ontario, and potentially other provinces to follow. Ontario has been the first province to move forward with allowing commercial online sportsbooks, however.

To enjoy legal sports betting online in Ontario, you’ll need to be 19 or older. You’ll also need to be within the province when you place your bets. The sportsbook will likely offer various ways for you to manage your gambling, including self-assessments and wagering limits.

How to download the NorthStar Bets Sportsbook app in Canada

Sportsbook apps make it easy to bet if you’re out and about, and NorthStar Bets will almost certainly have one for iOS and Android. This means that if you ever want to bet from a stadium, or ever forget about a start time and need to bet quickly, you don’t need to use your laptop. Instead, just log into the app and place your bets from your phone or tablet, providing you’re within Ontario.

Most online sportsbooks will have links for downloading their apps. Once you’re on the mobile sportsbook site, you can either access a download banner at the top of the screen, scroll down and select an appropriate link from the site’s footer, choose “mobile betting” from the main menu or something similar. Doing so will take you to the correct download page on the appropriate app store, and you can get the app from there for free.

How do I use the NorthStar Bets app?

The NorthStar Bets Sportsbook Canada app will allow you to deposit cash and place your wagers. You can then track these bets from your phone, keep an eye out for early cash-out options, and withdraw any winnings you may receive.

First, you will need to create a NorthStar Bets account if you haven’t already. When you do, you’ll need to enter some details like the following:

• Full name
• Email address
• Username and password for your account
• Phone number
• Date of birth
• Home address

Read the terms and conditions of the site. You also may have the option to edit your marketing preferences here. From there, you can make a deposit and start betting:

• You’ll be able to browse the available sports on either the app or the sportsbook website. It’ll be the same sports in both places.
• Click on a specific sport or league to view all the available betting options. For the main team-based sports, individual games will show odds for moneylines, spreads and totals bets. If you click on a specific game, though, you’ll be able to see additional odds and betting options for that contest.
• Making a selection will add it to your bet slip, and you’ll then be able to enter how much you want to wager and place your bet.

On the site or app, you’ll also have options to open your bet slip, view previous wagers, and access the help page. Keep track of your selections in the bet slip to view possible early cash-out options.

What bets can you make at NorthStar Bets Canada?

NorthStar Bets lists all the usual types of sports bets you would generally expect from a legal online sportsbook. This starts with totals, moneylines and point spreads, but extends to include props, parlays, futures and more.

Major betting options will include hockey, basketball, baseball and football, with bets available on all of the top pro leagues, as well as potential college options for football and basketball. You could go to the NHL section, for instance, and look for betting options on the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks and more. Wager on the end result, or go for something a little more specific by selecting the players to score or the result by the end of the first period.

If you prefer NBA betting, head over to NorthStar Bets’ basketball section to view all options for betting on the Toronto Raptors. You may want to place a futures bet online before the season begins on the Raptors to win the Eastern Conference, or on a specific player to win the MVP award.

Don’t despair if you’re a fan of golf, MMA, motorsports or other more niche options. Check the A-Z sports list to see what else NorthStar Bets has available.

What are the most popular bets at NorthStar Bets Sportsbook in Ontario?

As with most online sportsbooks, moneylines, totals and point spreads are popular options depending on the sport. That isn’t all, though. Same-game parlays have been growing in popularity, allowing you to string several bets on the same game together under the same wager. It seems likely that NorthStar Bets will have such an option when it launches, but we’ll have to wait to see.

Another popular option at legal online sportsbooks is live sports betting. This allows you to view all ongoing games and provides a schedule for upcoming events where live betting will be available.

NorthStar Bets’ entry into the Canadian sports betting market

NorthStar Bets will join the Canadian online betting market first through Ontario. With the province aiming to launch its online gambling market in April 2022, NorthStar Bets would then be able to go live once it receives provincial approval.

The sportsbook is the result of a partnership between Nasdaq Stockholm-listed platform provider Kambi Group and Torstar partner NorthStar Gaming. The two announced a long-term deal in February 2022. NorthStar is also planning to launch a NorthStar Bets online casino in the coming months.
