NorthStar Gaming Launches New AI Sports Betting Tool
NorthStar Gaming Holdings announced the introduction of a new feature that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to provide customers with the convenience of a daily menu of personalized sports bets.
This unique feature, developed by AI and Machine Language personalization software provider Epoxy.ai (Epoxy), is new to the Ontario market and underscores NorthStar’s commitment to continually strive to provide customers with an exceptional premium betting experience.
The new AI tool “learns” customer betting patterns and preferences to create increasingly individualized “best fit” betting options, adding a new level of intuition to sports betting. The beta version of the product has been integrated into the NorthStar Bets platform and is now available for single bets, parlays, and same-game parlays. NorthStar customers can log in to find the bets “Trending for You” on the home page of the sportsbook.
The agreement with Epoxy highlights NorthStar’s premium offering and distinctive market position established by building its platform on best-of-breed technologies and content from around the world. As a smaller player competing against much larger betting companies, NorthStar’s ability to utilize its first-mover advantage and maintain its focus on agility and innovation sets the Company apart.
“NorthStar is committed to innovate in ways that deliver unique added value to our discerning customers. Today’s consumer is accustomed to online products and services that are personalized to their preferences, whether it be for shopping, music or TV streaming. Personalization creates betting experiences tailored to the user, presenting them with what they want, how and where they want it,” Michael Moskowitz, Chair and CEO of NorthStar Gaming, said.
The AI tool sifts through vast amounts of data to give insights that help bettors effortlessly discover high-quality bets that align with their preferences. The more a customer uses the NorthStar Bets platform, the more effectively the AI can offer relevant betting options that save time and simplify the betting process.
NorthStar’s market-leading AI feature is expected to attract new users, drive engagement, and significantly enhance the overall betting experience during the NFL season and for Soccer and the upcoming NBA and NHL seasons.

ZingBrain AI Boosts Hondubet Engagement
ZingBrain AI Drives Hondubet Growth with Real-Time Personalisation
ZingBrain AI is reshaping the iGaming landscape by delivering measurable performance gains for Hondubet through advanced real-time personalization technology.
By replacing its manually curated casino lobby with a fully automated, API-driven solution, Hondubet has unlocked a new level of player engagement and operational efficiency. The AI-powered system dynamically adapts content to individual player behaviors, ensuring that each user encounters games tailored to their unique preferences.
Significant Performance Gains Across Player Segments
Data from a controlled A/B test comparing the legacy manual lobby with the new personalized system highlights substantial improvements:
- A 25% increase in Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) and turnover among newly registered players
- A 10% rise in total bets placed by returning users
- A 25% boost in the number of unique games explored across the player base
These results underscore the effectiveness of AI-driven personalization in enhancing both user engagement and revenue generation.
From Manual Management to Intelligent Automation
Previously, Hondubet relied heavily on manual processes to manage its casino lobby, requiring constant updates and resource-intensive oversight. According to Julian Pareja Garcia of Hondubet, the shift to ZingBrain AI has been transformative.
The automated system continuously learns from player interactions, refining game recommendations and lobby sections without human intervention. This allows the operator’s team to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine maintenance.
Smarter Player Experiences Through AI Innovation
Oleg Smolerov emphasized the collaborative approach between the two companies, highlighting a shared commitment to innovation and product excellence.
Rather than static content placement, the AI engine ensures that every element of the lobby evolves in response to real-time data. This creates a more intuitive and engaging user experience, where players are presented with content that feels both relevant and natural.
Aligning Commercial Goals with User Experience
Beyond engagement metrics, the integration also supports Hondubet’s commercial strategy. Through ZingBrain AI’s Game Promotion tool, priority titles can be strategically surfaced within personalized sections.
Crucially, the system evaluates performance continuously. Games that fail to resonate with players are automatically deprioritized and replaced with more relevant options. This ensures a balance between promotional objectives and player satisfaction, maximizing both retention and monetization.
A New Standard for iGaming Personalisation
The success of this integration signals a broader shift within the iGaming industry toward intelligent automation and data-driven experiences. By leveraging AI to personalize every touchpoint, operators like Hondubet are setting new benchmarks for engagement, efficiency, and revenue growth.
As competition intensifies, solutions like ZingBrain AI are poised to become essential tools for operators seeking to deliver meaningful, high-performing user experiences at scale.

AxiumAI launches conversational AI engine to redefine World Cup sportsbook UX
AxiumAI, a leader in AI-driven sportsbook engagement, has introduced AxChat, a context-aware conversational interface that redefines how players interact with sports betting platforms.
Designed to handle the scale and intensity of major global tournaments, AxChat goes beyond traditional menu-driven navigation by enabling natural-language conversations. Players can ask questions in real time, receive tailored guidance, explore markets, interpret match dynamics, and place bets seamlessly—all within a single interface.
AxChat provides instant clarity and personalised recommendations, fast access to deep-linked bets, and one-click transaction capabilities. Its context-aware insights cover pre-match and in-play markets, including Bet Builders, helping operators capitalise on high-traffic events like the expanded 48-team World Cup with over 100 matches.
By linking conversation directly to the bet slip and account, AxChat allows users to access bet history, payments, limits, and promotions without leaving the interface. Unlike generic AI chat solutions, AxiumAI develops its tools based on hands-on sportsbook experience, ensuring AxChat addresses both player engagement and commercial performance.
The solution is globally scalable and integrates seamlessly with AxiumAI’s proprietary engagement engine, Verso, enabling dynamic content, narratives, and propositions to be delivered across all sportsbook touchpoints. Together, AxChat and Verso combine conversational intelligence with autonomous guidance, turning real-time insights into actionable bets and enhancing player engagement.
Adam Lewis, CEO of AxiumAI, said:
“AxChat represents a new UX paradigm for sportsbooks. With the expanded World Cup bringing more matches, unfamiliar teams, and a surge in recreational players, traditional navigation is no longer enough to engage audiences or support confident betting decisions.
“By allowing players to interact naturally and receive instant, context-aware responses, AxChat removes friction at the moment of intent. It gives players confidence while giving operators a powerful engagement layer that drives deeper market exploration, higher interaction, and increased pre-match and in-play NGR—without relying on bonus spend.”
