NorthStar Gaming is diversifying its online casino offerings behind a new partnership.
The Canadian sports betting and online casino company announced a partnership with Wazdan, gaining access to a slew of new iGaming titles. The deal provides NorthStar players with the opportunity to play Wazdan’s portfolio of online casino games, including popular titles 36 Coins, Hot Slot: 777 Cash Out Grand Diamond Edition and Mighty Fish: Blue Marlin.
NorthStar owns and operates Toronto-based casino and sportsbook platform NorthStar Bets, providing gaming content to Ontario—Canada’s only regulated iGaming market. Outside of Ontario, NorthStar operates a NorthStarBets.com site. The site is operated by Conseil des Abénakis de Wôlinak and licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.
“Expanding our presence in Ontario with such a locally rooted and trusted brand as NorthStar is an exciting milestone,” said Wazdan Head of Sales and Business Development Radka Bacheva. “Their strong position in the market, combined with our portfolio of rewarding experiences, ensures we can deliver measurable growth and enhanced entertainment to players nationwide.”
Wazdan will also be bringing its engagement-boosting mechanics to Ontario. The mechanics from Wazdan include Hold the Jackpot, Cash Infinity and Cash Out. In addition to NorthStar, Wazdan has partnerships in North America with bet365, Caesars Digital, Fitzdares, Fanatics Casino, PlayStar and Rush Street Interactive.
NorthStar reports second-quarter revenue growth
NorthStar is teaming up with Wazdan after reporting favorable earnings in Q2 2025.
The company generated $8.5 million in revenue during the quarter, a 15% increase year-over-year. In Q2, NorthStar increased its number of casino games by 27% to 2,000 titles.
Gross margin for the company reached $3.5 million during the quarter. By comparison, NorthStar reported $2.8 million in gross margin for the same period last year.
By the end of 2025, NorthStar projects a total addressable market (TAM) across Canada of approximately $9.5 billion. The company expects to benefit from the launch of regulated iGaming in Alberta in early 2026, as the province will have TAM worth roughly $1 billion.
