NorthStar Gaming Unveils Sports Insights 2.0
NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc. announced the launch across all NorthStar Bets online and mobile betting platforms of “Sports Insights 2.0,” a robust set of enhancements and new features added to its industry-leading content vertical.
Sports Insights is a key differentiating feature that supports NorthStar’s position as a premium brand and industry leader at the intersection of iGaming and media. A key pillar of Sports Insights’ content offering is analysis of upcoming events, betting strategies, predictions and tips, with original articles produced daily by the Company’s in-house team of sports writers. As announced this past February, NorthStar embarked on a significant enhancement of Sports Insights with upgrades and new features rolled out throughout 2024.
“Sports Insights 2.0 has been a major focus for our team this year and we are thrilled to share these new features with our customers. Players have told us they place a high value on the ability to access quality, in-depth stats and information seamlessly within our betting environment.

The added content should keep our players engaged and help them make informed betting decisions,” said Michael Moskowitz, Chair and CEO of NorthStar.
Highlights of new features and tools introduced for Sports Insights 2.0 include:
• A redesigned home page offering an improved user experience, a three-story rotating carousel showcasing the most important content, articles grouped by topic (MLB, NFL, casino, etc.) and a “Live Now” strip promoting live betting markets and other promotional priorities.
